Page 9: Product Overview
Product Overview Oracle’s StorageTek SL150 Modular Tape Library System is a rack mounted automated tape library with a capacity of 30 to 300 tape cartridges (tapes) with 1 to 20 half-height LTO Ultrium Fibre Channel (FC) or Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) tape drives (see FIGURE 1-1). -
Page 10: Figure 1-2 Remote Management Interface
The library can be expanded from one to ten modules. A 2U expansion module can be added to the library to provide an additional capacity of 30 tapes and up to two tape drives. Expansion modules are designated Module 2 through Module 10. Modules have two 15-cartridge magazines, have slots for up to two tape drives, and slots for up to two power supplies. -
Page 11: Class 1 Laser Product Notice
Class 1 Laser Product Notice The front control panel is also used to perform basic initialization setup (defining a default administrator password, setting the library date and time, and performing network configuration of Port 1). Additional library management functions are performed by the administrator using the remote interface. The library can be divided into a maximum of two partitions with each having a bridged tape drive in the base module. -

Library Self-Test The self-test moves a diagnostic cartridge from an origination point to a destination point in an offline library. The point can be a reserved slot, a storage slot, a tape drive, or a mailslot. There are two types of self-test. The Basic Self Test performs six moves. The Full Self Test preforms the moves of the basic test plus moves to all open storage slots and installed tape drives. -
