8.13.2 ESL9326D Enterprise Library Overview
The ESL9326D Enterprise Library is an enterprise Digital Linear Tape
(DLT) automated tape library with from 6 to 16 fast-wide, differential tape
drives. This tape library uses the 35/70 DLT (DS-TZ89N-AV) differential
tape drives. The SCSI bus connectors are 68-pin, high-density.
The ESL9326D Enterprise Library has a capacity of 326 DLT cartridges in a
fixed storage array (back wall, inside the left door, and inside the right door).
This provides a storage capacity of 11.4 TB uncompressed for the ESL9326D
Enterprise Library using DLT Tape IV cartridges. The library can also use
DLT Tape III or IIIXT tape cartridges.
The ESL9326D Enterprise Library is available as six different part numbers,
