• Drive carrier. Accessible from the back panel, the tape drive carrier includes a fan and two
SCSI connectors. If the library contains just one tape drive, the unused drive slot is
protected by a service access cover.
• Fans. The drive and library each include a fan to reduce operating temperature.
• Power entry module. The power entry module includes the AC power connector, power
switch, and fuse drawer.
• 9-pin serial port. A service technician can use the serial port to perform diagnostic
procedures or upgrade firmware.
• Ethernet port (optional). The Ethernet port allows you to connect the library to a 10/
100BaseT Ethernet network.
• SCSI connectors. The SCSI connectors allow you to connect the library and tape drive to
one or two SCSI buses.
