Gateway E-826R LTO-3 SuperLoader 3
The Gateway E-826R LTO-3 SuperLoader 3 is SCSI-3 compatible and operates as a single SCSI ID/two LUN data storage device. It is equipped with an LTO-3 tape drive and contains as many as sixteen Ultrium 3 data cartridges, when using two magazines, which provides a compressed capacity of 6.4 Terabytes of data and a sustained data transfer rate of 245 GB per hour (native), or as high as 490 GB per hour compressed (assuming 2:1 compression).
Bar code reader
A bar code reader is enclosed within the body of the autoloader. The bar code reader automatically scans each cartridge in the magazine when the power is turned on, after a reset, after an import or export, or when a re-inventory command is issued (see “Running an inventory” on page 50). Other than that, there is no user interface with the bar code reader through the front panel operator controls or LCD screen. The information from each label is stored in memory and is available through SCSI and On-board Remote Management to the computer's operating system or backup application upon request.
If you use the bar code reader, you must apply or slide the bar code labels into the appropriate slot on the right side of each cartridge. The labels must conform to ANSI/AIM BC1 -1995 Uniform Symbology Specification Code 39. A set of bar code labels is included with the autoloader.
