3 Using RXT Drives in the RXT350
In its minimum configuration, the RXT350 contains at least one RXT drive. It can
optionally contain one or two additional RXT drives or also half-inch tape drives. No
matter which drive configuration your RXT350 has when you purchase it, the
configuration can be changed or upgraded at any time. For information on adding
drives to empty drive bays or upgrading or changing drive types, contact your sales
representative.
