Tandberg StorageLibrary T128 User’s Guide 5
5U Control Module
The 5U control module is required in any Tandberg StorageLibrary T128 library configuration. The 5U
control module contains the robotic controls, library control blade (LCB), and touch screen display. The 5U
control module also contains an import/export (I/E) station, fixed storage slots, tape drives, and at least one
power supply.
9U Expansion Modules
A 9U expansion module is a supplementary module that can be stacked above or below the 5U control
module (The recommended (but not required) placement of the 9U expansion module is below the 5U
control module). The expansion module contains fixed storage slots, tape drive slots, and power supply
slots. The I/E stations on the expansion module are included and may be configured as storage.
If an expansion module contains only cartridges, all power is derived from the control module.
Stackability
The two base systems for the Tandberg StorageLibrary T128 are the 5U library, consisting of a 5U
stand-alone control module, and the 14U library, consisting of a 5U control module and a 9U expansion
module. In addition, a 9U expansion module can be added to an existing 5U library to expand the size of
the library to 14U, which is the maximum rack height of the library.
Figure 3 on page 5 illustrates the
stackability of the library.
