WARNING:
Only personnel with technical and product safety training (referred to as users in this document)
may have access to or operate the HPE StoreEver MSL3040 Tape Library.
•
Read all documentation and procedures before installing or operating the library.
•
Install the library in a computer rack and verify that the front and rear doors are secure before
operating the tape library.
•
Do not insert any tools or any part of your body into the tape library while it is operating.
The MSL3040 Tape Library provides a compact, high-capacity, low-cost solution for simple, unattended
data backup. This unique design houses 32 or 40 tape cartridges in each 3U module, with easy access to
tape cartridges through mailslots. The library is customer expandable with expansion modules and
exchangeable tape drives.
All library installations begin with a 3U base module, which has capacity for 32 tape cartridges and up to
three half-height LTO tape drives. The library is expandable with 3U expansion modules. Each expansion
module adds capacity for 40 tape cartridges and up to three LTO tape drives. Up to six expansion
modules can be added to the base module, for a maximum library capacity of 272 tape cartridges and 21
half-height tape drives.
The library is compatible with most operating systems. However, the library requires either direct support
from the operating system or a compatible backup application to take advantage of its many features.
To verify the compatibility of backup applications, HBAs, and other components, see the HPE Data
