Description
The Tandberg StorageLibrary T128 tape library automates the retrieval, storage, and management of tape
cartridges. Tape cartridges are stored in the library and mounted and dismounted from tape drives using
firmware running on the library or software running on the host systems.
The Tandberg StorageLibrary T128 tape library is different from other tape libraries because it is an
intelligent library. The Tandberg StorageLibrary T128 tape library offers advanced management features
and reliability as well as scalable performance and storage capacity.
The Tandberg StorageLibrary T128 library is designed for ease of installation, configuration, and field
upgrades. The Tandberg StorageLibrary T128 library is built upon two basic building blocks: the 5U control
module and 9U expansion module (where 1U = 1.75").
These building blocks form the basis of the following available library configurations:
• A 5U library, consisting of a stand-alone control module
• A 14U library, consisting of one 5U control module and one 9U expansion module
Figure 1 on page 3 shows the front view of a 5U stand-alone control module.
Figure 2 on page 4 shows the front view of a 14U library, consisting of a 5U control module and a 9U
expansion module.
