Expansion Modules
Expansion modules enable the library to expand by adding space for tape
drives, I/E stations, and cartridges. Each expansion module adds 300 to
456 LTO or 250 to 380 DLT cartridge slots, depending on the number of
tape drives installed and whether an I/E station is installed (see figure
3
on page 16). The library’s maximum configuration includ
es up to eleven
expansion modules for a total of up to
12 modules. Expansion modules
can only be added to the right of the control module.
Expansion modules in positions nine through
twelve are storage-only modules and do not
contain I/E stations or drives.
The expansion modules can accommodate the following components:
• I/O management unit (optional)
• Tape drives (optional)
• Cartridge storage
• I/E station (optional)
• AC power compartment (required only if drives are added)
If an expansion module contains only cartridges, all po
wer is derived
from the control module.
