ADIC Scalar 1000 - Manual (Page 6)

B UILDING B LOCKS OF A S CALAR 1000 / DLT L IBRARY
The Scalar 1000 / DLT control module, which
can also serve as a self-contained library, is config-
ured with 6 or 12 DLT drive bays. Each expansion
module is configured for tape storage only (no drive
bays), with 6 drive bays, or with 12 drive bays.
Choice of drive bay configuration determines the
tape positions available in each module (see table).
Drives to populate drive bays are ordered separately
and may be easily added on-site. Configuration
change is easy since the drive bay and cartridge ca-
pacity of any module can be easily reconfigured in
the field. The Scalar 1000 automatically “reteaches”
the library’s settings to reflect new configurations.
