Supported tape drives
The LTO Ultrium tape drives and the 3592 tape drives are high-performance,
high-capacity data-storage units that can be installed in the TS3500 Tape Library.
Up to 12 drives can be installed in each base and expansion frame of the library,
but the two types of drives cannot be mixed in the same frame. You can identify a
drive by examining the logo at the front of the drive canister or by inspecting the
label at the rear of the drive canister.
Note: No drives are installed in the storage-only HD frames (Models S24 and S54).
Table 6 provides an overview of supported tape drives.
