In one embodiment, an automated tape library includes an array of tape drive canister bays which each allow insertion of a tape drive canister therein that supports a tape drive, a power system, a communications system, and a robotic accessor adapted for accessing through insertion and/or removal tape cartridges in tape drives in the array of tape drive canister bays, wherein each tape drive canister bay includes a latching mechanism adapted for securing a tape drive canister into the tape drive canister bay when the latching mechanism is in a latched close position and releasing the tape drive canister from the tape drive canister bay when the latching mechanism is in an unlatched open position, and a library docking connector adapted for connecting a docking connector of the tape drive canister to the power system and the communications system when the latching mechanism is in the latched close position. |
