Referenced components
- Scalar i500 tape library: 8-00533-01
- 9U expansion chassis: 8-00372-03
- Drive assembly / interface references: 8-00603-01, UF-HE-LTO4-FC, and 9-01936-01
- Power module: 9-00572-02
A fully expanded Scalar i500 can manage hundreds of LTO cartridges, but usable slot count and performance depend on the installed modules, drives, licences, and partitioning. Fibre Channel connectivity and supported LTO generations likewise depend on the fitted drive and interface assemblies.
The library and expansion chassis may be offered together or separately. Before purchase, inventory the control modules, drives, magazines, interface cards, power supplies, licences, rack hardware, and keys. Also confirm that the intended backup software and host interfaces support the installed drive generation.
