General Description

The Scalar 1000 automates the storage, retrieval, and control

of 3590, LTO, DLT, SDLT, and AIT tape cartridges. Tape

cartridges are mounted and dismounted in tape drives using

application software from the host without operator

intervention.

The Scalar 1000 is a linear storage library that can be expanded

from a single media library to a mixed media library. The

Scalar 1000 consists of a Control Module (CM) and up to three

Expansion Modules (EMs). See Figure 2-1 on page 2-4. The

CM contains library control hardware, the Cartridge

Accessor, an Insert/Eject Station (I/E Station), an Operator

Panel, cartridge storage cells, and tape drives. The EM can

contain tape drives and cartridge storage.

The Scalar 1000 can be configured for approximately 118 to

1182 cartridges (the cartridge capacity depends on the library

configuration and features installed), and 1 to 48 drives.

See Table 2-1.

3590 drives, you must

add an Extension frame

to a Control Module or a

Expansion Module to

increase module depth.
