Product Overview 

Channel and SCSI tape drive interfaces within the same library. LTO Fibre Channel tape drives can 
be directly attached to hosts or the SAN. LTO SCSI tape drives are attached directly to the host. 

Tape drives are installed into tape drive bays in the rear of the library. If a tape drive bay is empty, a 
cover plate covers the empty tape drive bay to prevent dust from entering the library. Tape drives can 
be installed in any available tape drive bay.
