Product Description

The ETERNUS LT20 S2 LTO library provides a compact, high-capacity, low-cost
solution for simple, unattended data backup.
The ETERNUS LT20 S2 houses up to 8 tape cartridges in a compact 1U form
factor with easy access to tape cartridges via two removable magazines and a
mailslot for importing and exporting cartridges. The library can support one
LTO3, LTO4, LTO5, or LTO6 half height tape drive.
Each magazine can hold up to four cartridges.
The library does not occupy an own signal interface but is controlled via a
separate LUN of the tape drive.
The library can be operated via Operator Control Panel (OCP) or Remote
Management Unit (RMU).
The ETERNUS LT20 tape library is compatible with most operating systems and
environments that support the SAS or Fibre Channel interface. However, the
library requires either direct support from the operating system or a compatible
backup application to take full advantage of its many features.
