Introduction
Factory-Defined Accessory PCI Slots
MSL5000 series libraries contain one or two rear-access card cages and one or two
32-bit, 33-MHz Compact PCI backplanes (see Figure 1–6). These backplanes contain
the plug-in connectors for a library controller board and up to five optional HP-defined
PCI add-in cards.
CAUTION:
Use of non-HP qualified PCI option cards can damage your MSL5000
series library and will void product warranty. Follow all installation, configuration, and
operating instructions shipped with the option card upgrade kit.
IMPORTANT:
For MSL5000 series libraries only, the library controller board must be installed
in the right slot of the card cage area (upper card cage area for the MSL5052/MSL5060).
