600561-A
Cartridge Storage and Tape Drive
Configurations
Cartridge storage quantity varies by number of modules and
tape drives in the modules. Table 2-6 lists the quantity of
media contained by the storage cells for the Control Module
and Expansion Modules configured for the different media
types.
When mixing high profile drive technology with DLT, the
Control Module must be configured for high profile drive
technology while DLT will consume separate expansion
modules.
