NOTE:
HP recommends a maximum of 2 tape drives per 6Gb/s SAS BL Switch and 64K
transfer sizes. Attaching a library with 4 tape drives requires purchasing a second tape
library SAS cable (AN975A or AN976A) and attaching 2 drives to the redundant 6Gb/s
SAS BL Switch. Attaching more than 2 tape drives per switch and transfer sizes greater
than 64K could result in a failed backup or restore. A future release of firmware on the
tape library drives will allow more than 2 tape drives to be attached to a switch.
