Tape drives The 4560SLX Tape Library supports a 0-drive, 1-drive, or 2-drive configuration as shown in Figure 6. All inactive tape drives are hot-swap capable. SCSI I/O is accomplished through two VHDCI-series 68-pin SCSI connectors located on the rear of the library directly under each tape drive as shown in Figure 7. 1 Tape drive 1 2 Tape drive 2 Figure 6.

Tape drives
The 4560SLX Tape Library supports a 0-drive, 1-drive, or 2-drive configuration as
shown in Figure 6. All
inactive
tape drives are hot-swap capable. SCSI I/O is
accomplished through two VHDCI-series 68-pin SCSI connectors located on the
rear of the library directly under each tape drive as shown in Figure 7.
Library controller board
The library contains a rear-access adapter cage (see Figure 8 on page 7) and a PCI
backplane. This backplane contains the plug-in connectors for the library controller
board and FCO card.
