Configuration Options
As shown in figure 1 and figure 2, the P1000 library is available in
stand-alone and rack-mount configurations. Other library options
include:
the number of tape drives
•
The P1000 holds one to four tape drives.
high-density or low-density tape configuration
•
The high-density configuration consists of up to 30 tape cartridges:
9 in the back storage bins, 5 in the front storage bins, 8 in the load
pack, and 8 in the bulk pack.
The low-density configuration consists of 16 tape cartridges
housed in the load pack and bulk pack. All fixed storage bins are
removed from the low-density library.
single-ended or differential SCSI communication module
•
•
optical or copper-based Fibre Channel communication module
The P1000 can be supplied with (or upgraded to) various Fibre
Channel host interfaces, including a data router capability that
convert Fibre Channel to SCSI within the library. This option is
described in the ATL Prism FC210 Router Addendum (PN 6331101).
multiple SCSI bus capability
•
The P1000 supports one to five host computers, each on a separate
SCSI bus. The library is controlled by these host computers via a
SCSI communications link and the SCSI-2 medium changer
command set. The host computer SCSI interface port, the RS-232
port for diagnostics, and the power connectors are located on the
back panel (see figure 3 on page 4).
As you unpack and install the P1000, verify that the library is
configured with the options you require.
