Conversion Kits

Tape drive conversion kits convert drives previously used in another StorageTek
library for use in the SL3000 library. If you are converting from:
An SL8500 library — only order the drive tray part number.
■
A previous generation library (such as L180, L700, L5500, 9740, 9310 or SL500) —
■
order both part numbers listed.

Encryption Switches and Cabling

For tape drive encryption, you must have the proper Ethernet switches and cables. The
number of required parts depends on the number and location of the encrypted drives.
The "Harness number" correspond to the drive array location. Therefore, "Harness 1"
