Adding Mixed-Media Storage Cell Capacity

If your needs have increased, you can increase the storage cell capacity and the number of tape drives in the library. TABLE 1-2lists how many storage cells and tape drives can be gained by adding each Drive Expansion Module. The expansion modules are installed into the same rack as the existing modules.

You can also add a redundant power supply. Contact your marketing representative.
