The initial (entry) capacity of the Lx5 frames is 100 slots. The Intermediate and
Base CoD features can increase the usable capacity up to 400 slots. The HD CoD
features add anywhere from 150 to more than 450 more slots, depending on frame
position and configuration. The Base CoD feature (FC 1644) is a prerequisite for
installing an HD CoD feature on an Lx5 frame.
The initial (entry) capacity of the Dx5 frames is 500 slots. The initial (entry)
capacity of the S25 frame is 600 slots and of the S55 frame is 660 slots. The HD
CoD features can add anywhere 50 - 660 more slots, depending on frame position
and configuration.
Table 17 shows potential capacities by frame model.

For more information about HD technology, see “High-density technology” on
page 7. For more information about these licensed features, see “Feature codes for
the TS4500” on page 97. For more information about maximum frame capacities in
various configurations, see “Frame capacity” on page 109.
TS4500 command-line interface
Use the TS4500 command-line interface (CLI) program to access the TS4500 tape
library functions through outside of the GUI interface.
For detailed information about each CLI command, refer to the command-line
interface reference section in the IBM TS4500 customer online documentation in the
IBM Knowledge Center.
Remote support
Remote support for the TS4500 tape library involves the use of a Call Home
feature to detect and solve problems. Also, remote support requires several
important security functions.
Optional remote support is available for the TS4500 tape library through its Call
Home capability. The Call Home feature uses the integrated management console
(IMC) to report failures that are detected by the library or a tape drive. When a
failure is detected, Call Home sends detailed error information to IBM (home). The
IBM service representative can then prepare an action plan to handle the problem
before hand. The library might also periodically send support information (such as
configuration, library and drive code versions, and error logs) to IBM.
