Description
Each library drive bay assembly (DBAs) holds up to four drives. If a DBA is not
full, additional drives can be installed to increase data throughput. Similarly, if
fewer than three QIPs are installed, additional QIPs can be easily installed to
increase the library's throughput. Both drives and QIPs are sled-mounted and
install in under two minutes.
The type of QIP installed in the library can be changed at any time to match the
network to which the library is connected. Bus expansion modules are required
when using direct-attach SCSI drives in the library.
The library requires one power supply per DBA. Adding another power supply
per DBA provides 2N redundancy and failover protection. The power supply
modules needed for the 2N power redundancy configuration are an option you
can purchase separately or when you order the library.
The web-based BlueScale Vision camera lets you visually monitor the
interior of the library. The BlueScale Vision camera is an option you can
purchase when you order your library.
You can use USB key when upgrading the library's firmware package or as a
troubleshooting tool for use as instructed by Technical Support. USB key are
available for purchase from Spectra Logic for a nominal charge.
