500 COG
Notes:
1.
Transfer rates are for single SCSI channel configurations. Tape Libraries utilizing split library or dual
host configurations may obtain higher rates. Data compression typically provides a 2X improvement in
capacity and transfer rate, but since data compression is affected by many factors, actual improvements
may be more or less than 2X.
2. SDLT/LTO Tape Library supports either LTO or SDLT (or both if the application software supports
mixed media and the drives and magazines are matched). Up to eight units can be stacked. Two
magazines and two drive sleds can be installed in each unit. An external LVD SCSI cable with 0.8mm
VHDCI connectors at each end ships standard with the library unit. A single 300w power supply with an
IEC 320-C13 to NEMA 5-15P low voltage power cord is standard. Attaches to a single host server using a
SCSI connection or to either a Fibre Channel switch or single server through a Fibre Channel connection
if a Modular Fibre Channel Option is installed. This option ships without a controller.
3. Data transfer speed and capacity are rated separately for LTO and SDLT media. Compressed speed and
data capacity may be less than the maximum indicated.
4. Ships with external LVD SCSI cable with 0.8mm VHDCI connector for connection to the tape drive.
Requires a short- or long-wave SFP Module (P/N 19K1271, 2) for connection to Fibre Channel cable.
Supports three to four drive sleds (or two layers) only. Fibre Channel attachment includes either a single
server using a DS4000 Host Bus Adapter or a Fibre Channel switch.
5. Option contains an LVD storage interface.
6. One or two magazines are supported. Up to 15 tape data cartridges (P/N 08L9120) are supported in each
magazine. This option ships without a data cartridge. Maximum storage capacity equals 3TB/6TB
(native/compressed).
7. Ships with external 0.5m LVD SCSI cable. Supported configurations are none, one or two drives. When a
drive sled is not installed, the library unit must be cabled to another unit that contains at least one drive
upgrade option. The Modular LTO Drive Upgrade Option includes one LTO Cleaning Cartridge (P/N
08L9124) and the Modular SDLT Drive Upgrade Option includes one SDLT Cleaning Cartridge (P/N
19P4357). This option is shipped without a controller. Data transfer rate equals 16/32
(native/compressed) MB/sec.
8. One or two magazines are supported. Up to 13 tape data cartridges (P/N 35L1119) are supported in each
magazine. This option ships without a data cartridge. Maximum storage capacity equals 4.16TB/8.32TB
(native/compressed).
9. Required to connect two library units.
10. Required to connect each additional library unit (from three through eight).
11. The SDLT600 Drive Sled installs directly into an available drive bay of the 4560SLX tape library.
Maximum storage capacity equals 300GB/600GB (native/compressed). Data transfer rate equals 36/72
(native/compressed) MB/sec. Option includes one cleaning cartridge.
12. Provides a means for mounting LTO Generation 2 (LTO2) SCSI tape drives in the 4560SLX library.
13. Maximum storage capacity equals 200GB/400GB (native/compressed).
14. Maximum storage capacity equals 160GB/320GB (native/compressed).
