*Values represent native (uncompressed) capacity with IE slot included.
An additional drive sled can be added to double throughput and/or partition the library to multiple hosts. Mixed generation drive support is also available for
LTO drives. For example, an LTO-3 drive can coexist with an LTO-1 drive in a single library. The library also comes standard with a barcode scanner that
provides instant media verification and inventory. The Remote Management Unit can be utilized for centralizing your data backup control. Finally, the customer-
installable Storage Networking Controller offers such functionality as 2-Gb/s Fibre Channel connection, firewall, and 3rd party copy capabilities.
The library is the next generation entry-level/mid-range product to meet the standards of Dell customers. For additional information or questions not included

Features
The following features are standard with your library:
Multi-function Operator Panel. The Operator Panel, located on the right above the IE slot, provides an easy to read bitmap display and a five-button keypad
to permit you to monitor and control the operations of your library. The liquid crystal display (LCD) provides access to library status, commands, setup, and
tools. See
for more information. The Operator Panel is described in more detail in
Operator Panel Keypad
.
Robotic System. The robotic system is the media cartridge handling mechanism and responds to commands from the application software to move the
cartridges between the storage slots, tape drives, and the IE slot.
Partitioning. Partitioning allows your single library to be logically partitioned so it will appear to a host as if it were two independent physical libraries. Each
logical library (partition) can be independently controlled as though it were two different libraries.
for more information. The IE slot may also be configured by the user to act as a data storage slot.
Magazines. Removable cartridge magazines allow for the easy insertion and removal of tape cartridges.
System Integrity. The cartridge storage slots, drives, and robotic system are protected by a door that is lockable by key. Your library can also be configured
for password access.
Cartridge Inventory. Whenever you power up your library, it will perform a physical inventory of slots.
Barcode Scanner. The barcode scanner reads barcode labels and presents label IDs to the LCD and the host without losing storage capacity.
Remote Management Unit. Your library is equipped with a Remote Management Unit (RMU), which provides remote library operation through a web browser.
Manual Cartridge Use. Individual cartridges can easily be transported to the library by manually opening the IE door and inserting the cartridge into the IE
slot. The Operator Panel is then used to load the cartridge into another slot.
Reverse Cartridge Protection. The magazine and back storage slots employ a design that prevents the cartridges from being inserted incorrectly.
Built-in Diagnostics. Your library includes diagnostic firmware that tells you when drive head cleaning is required, reports diagnostic results, and drive
operating status. Your library also includes real-time sensors monitoring of data locations and several types of diagnostic tests.
AutoClean. AutoClean enables the library to automatically clean the drives when cleaning is required.
Error Diagnosis. Your library includes an Error Log that is accessible from the Operator Panel.
Stored Vital Product Data for Recovery. Your library settings are stored on the RMU.
Multiple Control Paths. This feature allows your library to be controlled by more than one host system.
