Ptm Installation Preparation; Introduction - Compaq StorageWorks ESL9000 Series Installation Manual

Introduction

The Compaq StorageWorks Pass-Through Mechanism (PTM) enables the
transfer of a single tape cartridge between two Compaq StorageWorks
ESL9000 Series Tape Libraries. The PTM can be used to connect up to five
tape libraries creating a large logical tape library.
NOTE: These instructions address tape libraries with a serial number of 2G99CZN11001
or higher. Tape libraries with a serial number lower than 2G99CZN11001 might require
additional hardware upgrades to support the PTM. Contact your Compaq service
