Cartridge Capacity

Models and Features

If your storage needs grow beyond the maximum capacity of your current library, you can
increase your capacity with a frame upgrade. Frame upgrades can be ordered using the
model and feature codes below. When you order the code, you actually receive a
physically larger frame. You will use the external SCSI cables, drives and media from your
old library, and might want to order additional external SCSI cables, drives, and media to
fill the new library.
Use the following table to order the desired model and feature.

Cartridge Capacity
The tape management software locates cartridges by their cell numbers. You determine
the library capacity (total number of cells) when you order the library. You can order the
L20 with 10 or 20 cells, the L40 with 20 or 40 cells, or the L80 with 40, 60, or 80 cells.
Note: For third-party software licensing reasons, StorageTek can configure the L20
Do not include the drive slots and the CAP cells when determining data-cell capacity. In
fully configured libraries (L040-40 and L080-80), if Auto Clean is not enabled, you can use
the cleaning cells to store data cartridges. If Auto Clean is enabled, the cleaning cells must
contain cleaning cartridges.
Although you are able to see all the storage cells, the software only recognizes the data
cells that are designated for the capacity that you ordered, which is controlled by the
personality module. You can attach a cell barrier clip (in the L40 and L80) to indicate the
configuration of the cell capacity in your library to ensure that cartridges are manually
inserted in viable positions.
