Up to 224 I/O slots (16 I/O slots standard)

Notes:
•
In order to support more than 6 887 slots OR to support Ultrium 5 tape drives, all
node cards in the library must be model xx3-equivalent node cards. For node cards in
model xx2 frames, this requires a xx3 model conversion OR the enhanced node card(s)
feature (FC 1700 or 1701).
•
In order to increase the maximum number of cartridges to more than 6 887, logical
libraries must use LTO Ultrium 4, 3592 E05, or newer tape drives as control path
drives. Ultrium 4 control path drives require a minimum code level of 97F0.
•
The maximum native capacity figures are based on library configurations with HD
frames and all Ultrium 5 or 3592 E06 tape drives.
