ABSTRACT:
A sleeve for providing referencing between an autochanger storage rack and a data cartridge caddy before, during and after installation of the data cartridge caddy into the autochanger storage rack. The sleeve provides accurate alignment and referencing in the X, Y and Z directions so that it is relatively easy for a user to install the data cartridge caddy into the autochanger storage rack. The sleeve also maintains the data cartridge caddy in a predetermined referenced position so that the data cartridge handling system of the autochanger is able to assume that the data cartridge caddy and all of the data cartridges in the data cartridge caddy are in predetermined locations.
