Chapter 1. General information
The 87691VX Tape Autoloader is a SCSI external storage device that can be
connected to a server that uses a low voltage differential (LVD) interface. It
provides storage for up to 10 data cartridges. Each data cartridge is capable of
storing up to 160 GB of native data, or 320 GB of compressed data, on a 230-meter
tape using VXA technology.
See Appendix C, "IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-08 04/2004," on
page 71 for the warranty terms. If a tape drive stops functioning due to a
component failure during the tape drive warranty or maintenance time, IBM
replace the tape drive unit. IBM will replace any defective tape drive under the
terms and conditions of the IBM warranty or service agreement. It is our objective
to work with you to identify the cause of any tape drive problems and provide a
solution. The 87691VX Tape Autoloader is a Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU).
