3590 Guidelines
B UILDING B LOCKS OF A S CALAR 1000 / 3590 L IBRARY
The Scalar 1000 / 3590 control module, which can also
serve as a self-contained library, is configured with 2 or 4
3590 drive bays. Each expansion module is configured for
tape storage only (no drive bays), with 2 drive bays, or
with 4 drive bays.
Choice of drive bay configuration determines the tape
positions available in each module (see table). Drives to
populate drive bays are ordered separately and may be
easily added on-site. Configuration change is easy since
the drive bay and cartridge capacity of any module can be
easily reconfigured in the field. The Scalar 1000
automatically “reteaches” the library’s settings to reflect
new configurations.
