8.12.2 ESL9326D Enterprise Library Overview

The ESL9326D Enterprise Library is an enterprise Digital Linear Tape (DLT) automated tape library with from 6 to 16 fast-wide, differential tape drives. This tape library uses the 35/70 DLT (DS-TZ89N-AV) differential tape drives. The SCSI bus connectors are 68-pin, high-density.

The ESL9326D Enterprise Library has a capacity of 326 DLT cartridges in a fixed storage array (back wall, inside the left door, and inside the right door). This provides a storage capacity of 11.4 TB uncompressed for the ESL9326D Enterprise Library using DLT Tape IV cartridges. The library can also use DLT Tape III or IIIXT tape cartridges.

The ESL9326D Enterprise Library is available as six different part numbers, based on the number of tape drives:

Order Number	Number of Tape Drives
146205-B23	6
146205-B24	8
146205-B25	10
146205-B26	12
146205-B27	14

A tape library with a capacity for additional tape drives may be upgraded with part number 146209-B21, which adds a 35/70 DLT tape drive. See the Compaq StorageWorks ESL9000 Series Tape Library Tape Drive Upgrade Guide (146582-001) for more information.
