Library robotics Multi-module library systems The 4560SLX Tape Library is an expandable tape library that can be configured in a variety of module and drive combinations. The drives are mounted in a removable drive shoe that enables easy installation and removal. Therefore, a failed drive can be swapped without the server or library power needing to be cycled. The library can be stacked with additional library modules to form a multi-module, rack-mounted configuration.

Stacked units are interconnected through their rear panel Ethernet connections and an external Ethernet router mounted to the rack. 1 Interface connector 2 Cartridge elevator location Figure 10.
