SKLM (IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager)
IBM EKM application that assists encrypting tape drives in generating, protecting, storing, and
maintaining encryption keys that encrypt information that is written to and decrypt information that is
read from tape media.

Slot blocker
A slot blocker is used to restrict/close off a data cell so a data cartridge cannot be inserted.
Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI)
A standard that is used by computer manufacturers for attaching peripheral devices (such as tape
drives, hard disks, CD-ROM players, printers, and scanners) to computers (servers). Pronounced
"scuzzy". Variations of the SCSI interface provide for faster data transmission rates than standard
serial and parallel ports (up to 320 megabytes per second). The variations include
• Fast/Wide SCSI - Uses a 16-bit bus, and supports data rates of up to 20 MBps.
• SCSI-1 - Uses an 8-bit bus, and supports data rates of 4 MBps.
• SCSI-2 - Same as SCSI-1, but uses a 50-pin connector instead of a 25-pin connector, and supports
multiple devices.
• Ultra-SCSI - Uses an 8- or 16-bit bus, and supports data rates of 20 or 40 MBps.
• Ultra2 SCSI - Uses an 8- or 16-bit bus and supports data rates of 40 or 80 MBps.
• Ultra3 SCSI - Uses a 16-bit bus and supports data rates of 80 or 160 MBps.
• Ultra160 SCSI - Uses a 16-bit bus and supports data rates of 80 or 160 MBps.
• Ultra320 SCSI - Uses a 16-bit bus and supports data rates of 320 MBps.
