Configuration Flexibility
The flexibility of the libraries provides unparalleled investment protection. You can
configure a library to meet your present needs, then, as your requirements grow, so can
the library. Upgrade choices allow you to add more cartridge capacity and drives to
expand from a smaller back-up-and-restore solution with a minimum of one drive and
10 cartridges to a powerful product with up to eight drives and 80 cartridges. In the same
footprint, you can customize the library by adding a combination of drives in the drive
column. Inserting cartridges into the library is also easy through the library's cartridge
access port (CAP).

Adding Cell and Drive Capacity
If your storage needs have increased, you might want to increase your cell capacity and
the number of drives in your library. You can do this either by ordering a conversion bill
or by ordering a model and feature code, listed in the tables.
For either method:
•
You retain your existing external SCSI cables, drives, and media.
•
You might wish to order additional external SCSI cables, drives, and media to fill
your new configuration.
Conversion Bills
By ordering an upgrade conversion bill, you are able to increase the capacity of your
library within the same library frame. With the conversion bill, you will receive an
upgrade module and a set of instructions that will direct you through the upgrade
process. You will use the operator panel to have the firmware update the personality
module to reflect the increased cell capacity of your library. Then, if desired, you can add
additional external SCSI cables, drives, and media that can be ordered separately.
Use the following table to order the desired conversion bill.
