The library supports IBM System Storage™ 3592-E06, 3592-EU6, and 3592-E05 Fibre
Channel tape drives.
Tape drive canisters can be hot-swapped (library power remains ON and operations
of the installed tape drives are still active), and drive canisters can be removed and
installed without tools.
Drives mounted in canisters are installed into tape drive slots in the rear of the library.
If a tape drive slot is empty, a metal plate covers the empty drive slots to prevent
debris from entering the library.
Fibre Channel tape drives can be directly attached to a host or a Storage Area
Network (SAN) using dual-ported switched fabric 4Gbps Fibre Channel host
interface connectors (
