Product description (overview) and features
The actiLib Library 4U provides a compact, high-capacity, low-cost solution for simple, unattended
data backup. This unique design houses up to 48 tape cartridges in a compact 4U form factor with
easy access to tape cartridges via two removable magazines and a mailslot. The magazines can hold
up to twelve (left magazine including mail slot) and nine (right magazine) cartridges.
The library can support one to four half height tape drives, or tow full height tape drive. The library
occupies one SCSI target address (for the single drive version) and uses dual LUNs for the tape drive
and library robotic.
The actiLib Library 4U is compatible with most operating systems and environments that support the
SCSI interface. However, the library requires either direct support from the operating system or a
compatible backup application to take full advantage of its many features.
