•Drive carrier. Accessible from the back panel, the tape drive carrier includes a fan and two SCSI connectors. If the library contains just one tape drive, the unused drive slot is protected by a service access cover.

•Fans. The drive and library each include a fan to reduce operating temperature.

•Power entry module. The power entry module includes the AC power connector, power switch, and fuse drawer.

•9-pin serial port. A service technician can use the serial port to perform diagnostic procedures or upgrade firmware.

•Ethernet port (optional). The Ethernet port allows you to connect the library to a 10/ 100BaseT Ethernet network.

•SCSI connectors. The SCSI connectors allow you to connect the library and tape drive to one or two SCSI buses.
