Configuration and Ordering Examples

The components you need to order varies based on the library configuration.

Example 1: 30 cartridge library with an IBM LTO-7 FC drive, a second FC drive, and a second power supply (redundant power):

  • 7114334 — Base Module, 30 slots with IBM LTO-7 half-height FC tape drive
  • 7114335 — Drive, IBM LTO-7, half-height FC
  • 7101769 — Power supply

Example 2: 60 cartridge library with two partitions, a total of four IBM LTO-8 drives (2 SAS and 2 FC), and four power supplies:

  • 7118432 — Base Module, 30 slots with one IBM LTO-8 half-height SAS tape drive
  • 7101763 — Expansion Module, 30 slots
  • 7118438 — Drive, IBM LTO-8, half-height SAS
  • 7118437 — Drive, IBM LTO-8, half-height FC (x2)
  • 7101769 — Power supply (x3)

Example 3: 90 cartridge library with one IBM LTO-8 FC drive

  • 7118433 — Base Module, 30 slots with one IBM LTO-8 half-height FC tape drive
  • 7101763 — Expansion Module, 30 slots (x2).

    Note that an Expansion Module receives power from the Base Module. The Expansion Module requires a power supply only when it contains a tape drive.

Example 4: Upgrade an existing library without partitions from 30 to 120 cartridges with a SAS drive in each module (power is not redundant):

  • 7101770 — Expansion Module, 30 slots (x3)
  • 7118438 — Drive, IBM LTO-8, half-height SAS (x3)
  • 7101771 — Power supply (x3)
