LTO library is an automated storage and retrieval system that includes
one pre-installed LTO tape drive and 2 removable magazines that can each hold up
to 10 LTO data or cleaning cartridges. The LTO library comes in either a tower or
rack mount configuration. Both configurations can be expanded by adding a
second LTO tape drive upgrade (09N4048). The rack model can be further
expanded with second or third expander modules (3600LXU) for a total of up to 6
tape drives and 60 data cartridges.
