Tape Drives
The libraries support IBM LTO-2 and later generation Ultrium drives. T380
libraries also support TS11xx technology drives and T10K drives (not
shown). The drives are mounted in drive sleds, which are installed in the
DBAs. Each DBA can accommodate up to four drives. Drives are hot-
swappable to provide uninterrupted operation.
Notes:  SCSI drives require an F-QIP to be installed in the DBA where
they are installed to provide host connectivity.
 Beginning with BlueScale12.7.05, the library supports half-
height, Fibre Channel and SAS, LTO-7 and LTO-8 drives
using full-height drive sleds.
