2. The derivation of the equivalence between the rate of copper corrosion product thickness growth in Å/month and the rate of weight gain assumes that

Cu2S and Cu2O grow in equal proportions.

3. The derivation of the equivalence between the rate of silver corrosion product thickness growth in Å/month and the rate of weight gain assumes that Ag2S

is the only corrosion product.

4. The deliquescent relative humidity of particulate contamination is the relative humidity at which the dust absorbs enough water to become wet and

promote ionic conduction.

5. Surface debris is randomly collected from 10 areas of the data center on a 1.5-cm diameter disk of sticky electrically conductive tape on a metal stub. If

examination of the sticky tape in a scanning electron microscope reveals no zinc whiskers, the data center is considered free of zinc whiskers.

Host requirements

The drive is supported by a wide variety of servers, operating systems, and adapters. Many ways to determine the servers and software that supports this drive are

available.

SAS interface

The SAS interface speed varies with the generation of the LTO drive. For more information on SAS speed of different generation drives, see

Fibre Channel interface

The ﬁbre channel interface varies with the generation of the drive.

Compatible conﬁgurations

For a comprehensive list of compatible conﬁgurations, see the IBM® Interoperation Center (SSIC) at

03.ibm.com/systems/support/storage/ssic/interoperability.wss.

Supported device drivers

Device drivers enable the drive to interact with various servers.

Application software

SAS interface

The SAS interface speed varies with the generation of the LTO drive. For more information on SAS speed of different generation drives, see

A drive with a SAS interface can be linked directly to controllers. SAS is a performance improvement over traditional SCSI because SAS enables multiple devices

(up to 128) of different sizes and types to be connected simultaneously with thinner and longer cables. Its full-duplex signal transmission supports up to 12.0

Gbps. In addition, SAS drives can be hot-plugged.

SAS drives auto-negotiate speed. There are no conﬁgurable topologies thus no feature switches associated with SAS.

Fibre Channel interface

The ﬁbre channel interface varies with the generation of the drive.

Fibre Channel technology combines the best features of traditional input/output interfaces with the best features of networking interfaces. The technology offers a

transport mechanism for delivering commands, and provides high performance by allowing processing to be done in the hardware.

The Fibre Channel connector is a Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP), dual-port, multimode optical transceiver that consists of an industry standard duplex LC-type

connector.

You can establish Fibre Channel connections between Fibre Channel ports that are in the tape library, one or more servers, and the connecting network. The

network can consist of such elements as switches, hubs, bridges, and repeaters.
