The 4mm DAT can be mounted in the Origin 300 rack or placed on a table. All other
supported tape devices are housed within one of the following libraries: L20, L40, L80,
L180, or L700 (refer to Table 1-2 and Figure 1-18).
Note: In Table 1-2, device transfer rates are dictated by the profile of the data being
transferred and are likely to be less than the rated speed, depending on the size of files
and the block size.
