MSL5000 and 6000 Series Tape Libraries User Guide

Introduction
33HP StorageWorks MSL5000 and MSL6000 Series Tape Libraries User Guide
Factory-Defined Accessory PCI Slots
MSL Series tape libraries contain one or two rear-access card cages, and one or
two 32-bit, 33-MHz Compact PCI backplanes (see Figure 7). These backplanes
contain the plug-in connectors for a library controller board, and up to five
optional HP-defined PCI add-in cards.
Caution: Use of non-HP qualified PCI option cards can damage your MSL
Series library and will void product warranty. Follow all installation,
configuration, and operating instructions shipped with the option card
upgrade kit.
Note: The library controller board must be installed in the right slot of the card cage
area (upper card cage area for the four-drive models).
