DISCONTINUED COMPONENTS
The following components are no longer available for purchase. If your
library includes these components, refer to the documentation that
accompanied your library when you received it for information about
using these components when you configure partitions.
QIPs (both F-QIPs and E-QIPs) have been replaced by a Fibre Channel
Robotics Interface Module (RIM) and are no longer available for
purchase.
The RIM does not provide drive connectivity. If your library includes
SCSI drives, you can continue to use them as long as you have a QIP or
BEM to provide connectivity for the drives.
SCSI-based drives, including SDLT, SAIT and RXT drives, as well as
LTO-2 through LTO-6 drives, are no longer available for purchase.
The Bus Expansion Module (BEM), which is used to provide direct
SCSI bus connectivity for SCSI drives in the library, is no longer
available for purchase.
