Drive Module
The DM is also a feature module and is added as requirements
change. The DM is attached to an AM or EM. The DM contains
its own AC power compartment and drive communication
electronics. It can be configured with one to four drive bays.
Each drive bay accommodates from 1–6 DLT/SDLT or LTO
tape drives, 1–12 AIT tape drives, 1–2 3590 tape drives, and 1–
4 3592-J1A/TS1120 tape drives.
Different types of drives can be intermixed in a DM with the
exception of 3592-J1A/TS1120 drives. 3592-J1A/TS1120
drives require a special DM that is only compatible with 3592-
J1A/TS1120 drives.
In a Dual Aisle configuration, DMs can be attached to the EMs
of primary aisle and secondary aisle.

change. The TM is attached to an AM or EM. The TM contains
a storage tower and control electronics and is configured for
only one media type. TMs can be bulk loaded or unloaded
through the TM service door.
Maximum TM capacity depends on the media type loaded.
