2Description
The Scalar i2000 library automates the retrieval, storage, and control of
cartridges. The cartridges are mounted and retrieved from tape drives
using a robotic assembly that is driven by application software from the
host without operator intervention.
The library can be installed on a solid or a raised floor. The library has a
standard 19-inch rack footprint and can be placed in a standard server
rack space. Access is from the access and service doors so the library can
be placed with either side against a wall, or between racks.
The library is designed for ease of installation, configuration, and field
upgrades. The minimum library configuration consists of one control
module. Up to seven expansion modules can be added to the control
module as storage and tape drive requirements change. The maximum
library can be configured to accommodate from 102 through 3,492 LTO or
from 100 through 2,915 SDLT cartridges, from 1 through 96 tape drives,
and from 1 through 8 Import/Export (I/E) stations. See figure 1 on
page 6.
