APPENDIX A—SPECIFICATIONS

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS

This section describes the performance specifications for the autoloader.

DATA TRANSFER RATE

The data transfer rate for the autoloader depends on the model of tape drive

installed, as shown in Ta b l e A - 3 .

TAPE DRIVE PERFORMANCE

When installed in the autoloader, the tape drive performs within its

specifications. For more information about tape drive performance

specifications, refer to the LTO Ultrium documentation available from:

Hewlett-Packard—www1.hp.com/storage/tapestorage/ultriumdrives.html

IBM—www.storage.ibm.com/tape/lto/oem/index.html

AUTOLOADER POWER-ON SEQUENCE TIME

Each time the autoloader is powered on, it performs a sequence of activities.

During its power-on sequence, the autoloader:

Performs a power-on self-test (POST)

Runs self-diagnostics

Establishes communication with the tape drive

Verifies the SCSI IDs

Performs a cartridge inventory

The time required for the power-on sequence is measured from the time

power is applied until the autoloader indicates ready status.

Table A-3 LTO Ultrium tape drive transfer rate and capacity

Tape Drive Maximum Data Transfer Rate

LTO Ultrium 2 26.6 MB per second (native), 187.2 GB per hour (compresseda)

aAssuming a 2:1 compression ratio. Actual compressed transfer rate varies depending on the type of data

being recorded and the system configuration.

LTO Ultrium 3b

bWhen attached to an Ultra160 SCSI bus. All sustained data rates are dependent on the capabilities of the

SCSI bus (for example, an Ultra2 SCSI bus is limited to less than 40 MB/second).

This data is for the IBM full height LTO Ultrium 3 tape drive. For additional information, see

www.storage.ibm.com/tape/lto/oem/index.html.

80 MB per second (native), 576 GB per hour (compresseda)

LTO Ultrium 3c

cThis data is for the Hewlett Packard half height LTO Ultrium 3 tape drive. For additional information, see

www1.hp.com/storage/tapestorage.html.

60 MB per second (native), 432 GB per hour (compressed a)
