removable cartridge magazines, one on the left side (12 data
cartridge slots) and one on the right (12 data cartridge slots).
Additionally, the left magazine includes a single mail slot to
help support continuous library operation while importing
and exporting media. A bar-code reader is standard in the
library, supporting the library’s operation in sequential or
random access mode. The TS3100 also comes standard with
remote management capabilities to allow for remote
administration of the tape library through a Web interface.
Path Failover, a new optional feature for this library, is
designed to provide automatic control path failover to a
preconfigured redundant control path in the event that a host
adapter or control path drive is lost, without aborting the
current job in process.

The IBM Ultrium 5 technology is designed to provide
greater capacity with continued support for encryption of
data. The hardware encryption and decryption core and
control core reside in the IBM Ultrium 5 tape drive (available
to the TS3100 with the 6 Gigabits per second (Gbps) Serial
Attached SCSI (SAS) and 8 Gbps Fibre Channel
(FC) interface). A larger internal data buffer in the Full
Height drive helps improve data access rates and reduce
cartridge fill and rewind times along with dynamic channel
calibration designed to help increase data throughput. In
addition to reading and writing to LTO Ultrium 5 tape
cartridges, the LTO 5 tape drive can read and write to
LTO 4 cartridges and read LTO 3 cartridges with improved
data rates. The IBM Ultrium 5 tape drive is designed to
support up to 140 Megabytes per second (MBps) native data-
transfer rates and up to 1.5 Terabyte (TB) native physical

The IBM TS3100 Tape Library Express featuring Full
Height and Half Height technology offers an 8 Gbps FC and
6 Gbps SAS interfaces for Ultrium 5 drives. While for
Ultrium 4 drives, offers a Low Voltage Differential (LVD)
Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI), 4 Gbps FC (FH
only) and 3 Gbps SAS interface, also it can be attached to a
wide variety of open-system servers. The sequential or
random access library comes in a stand-alone base
configuration with the option of an industry-standard 19-inch
rack-mount kit. The IBM TS3100 also has a Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) display and indicators for power, drive and
activity, error status and message information.
