Hardware Configuration Options
The library is designed for ease of installation, configuration, and field
upgrades. The minimum library configuration consists of one control
module. You can add up to 15 expansion modules as storage and tape
drive requirements change.
Note: Expansion modules in positions nine through sixteen are no
longer storage-only modules and can contain I/E stations or
drives.
For LTO, the maximum library configuration can accommodate
• 1 control module
• 0 to 15 expansion modules
• Gen 1 systems: 100 to 5322 cartridges (single robotics)
• Gen 2 systems: 100 to 7146 cartridges (single robotics), or 100 to
7224 (dual robotics). For libraries containing high-density expansion
modules, the maximum capacities are 12,006 LTO cartridges (for a
single-robot library) or 11,760 LTO cartridges (for dual-robot
libraries).
• 1 to 192 tape drives.
An LTO library I/E Station configuration can accommodate:
• 1 to 8 24-slot Import/Export (I/E) stations in the control module and
first 7 expansion modules.
Or
• 1 24-slot I/E in the control module and up to 7 72-slot I/E stations
and first 7 expansion modules.
