Figure 1-6 3584 <strong>Ultrium</strong> UltraScalable Tape Library<br />

All 3584 libraries shipped after August 31, 2001 come equipped <strong>with</strong> standard no<br />

charge Feature Code 9660 which provides the ability to connect the library to a<br />

10/100 Ethernet LAN. The unit can be added to pre-existing libraries by ordering<br />

the chargeable upgrade Feature Code 1660. The StorWatch Specialist enables<br />

network access (via Web browser) to the library for more detailed status and<br />

control. All library operator panel functions can be accessed using the StorWatch<br />

Specialist. We provide detailed information on the StorWatch Tape Library<br />

Specialist for the 3584 in 2.9.2, “<strong>IBM</strong> 3584 StorWatch Specialist” on page 81.<br />

The <strong>IBM</strong> 3584 base library, the Model L32, has 141 to 281 cartridge slots and<br />

support for up to twelve <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>LTO</strong> <strong>Ultrium</strong> tape drives <strong>with</strong> an incremental<br />

reduction of storage slots for more than four drives. Data capacity for the Model<br />

L32 is 14 to 28 TB native and 28 to 56 TB using <strong>LTO</strong>-DC (<strong>LTO</strong> Data<br />

Compression) (2:1) compression. The aggregate sustained data rate is from 108<br />

GB to 1.3 TB/hour <strong>with</strong> 2:1 compression. Up to twelve logical libraries and/or up<br />

to twelve control paths can be configured for each L32 frame. Each 3584-L32<br />
