Tape Drives
The library accommodates one or two full-height tape drives and from one
to four half-height tape drives. If fewer tape drives are installed, you can
purchase additional tape drives to increase data throughput. Tape drives
are sled-mounted and install in under two minutes.
The Spectra T50e library supports the following tape drives.

Power Supplies

The library requires one power supply. Adding another power supply
provides N+1 redundancy and failover protection. The power supply
needed for the N+1 power redundancy configuration is an option you can
purchase separately or when you order the library.
Library Controller Module (LCM)
The library is shipped with one LCM module installed. You can replace the
LCM at your site to save you the inconvenience of down time.

USB Storage Devices

You can use USB storage devices when upgrading the library's firmware
package or as a troubleshooting tool for use as instructed by Technical
Support. USB storage devices are available for purchase from Spectra
Logic for a nominal charge.
