Scalar i6000 Planning Guide 69
• Optional 72-slot can be installed in DREMs, HDEMs or SEMs, but not
in the RPM.
• The LPM cannot support I/E Stations.
• A maximum of 16 I/E stations (including the CM I/E Station) can be
installed in a library, but with the restrictions listed above.
• I/E Stations are installed left to right, with the 72-slot I/E Stations
installed closest to the CM followed by 24-slot I/E Stations.
Tape Drive Support and Placement
• The library supports a maximum of 192 tape drives.
• Tape drives are only installed in CMs and DREMs.
• SEMs, HDEMs and the LPM do not support tape drives, but SEMs
can be converted to DREMs for drive support. Note that DREMs can
only be used as a RPM in a Dual Robot library if they do not have the
full compliment of 24 drives.
• A maximum of 18 drives can be installed in each control module
and a DREM can contain a maximum of 24 drives.
• While drives can be installed in any module configured to accept
them, it is recommended that they are installed left to right, with
the first drives installed in the CM and moving to the next DREM to
the right.
Power cords
• The default power cords are sent with each CM, DREM and HDEM. If
redundant power is ordered, an extra cord is sent. If any of the
optional power cords are needed, they must be ordered.
Basic Building Blocks Tab le 10 provides specifications for the common building blocks to help
you calculate your specific configuration.
