3Cartridge and tape drive configuration is as follows:
  • The maximum cartridge configuration has 472 slots (with CAPs) and 2 tape drives.
  • The maximum tape drive configuration has 18 drives and 329 slots (with CAPs).
4Each module (base or expansion) comes with two power options:
  • Standard - 1 power supply
  • Redundant - 2 power supplies
The Sun StorEdge L500 Tape Library is supported in the following units: Characteristics include:
  • L500 base unit and up to 3 expansion modules (DEMs/CEMs) can be installed in the Sun Rack 900-38
  • L500 base unit and up to 3 expansion modules (DEMs/CEMs) can be installed in the Sun Rack 1000-38.
  • L500 base unit and up to 4 expansion modules (DEMs/CEMs) can be installed in the Sun Rack 1000-42.
  • Sun Rack 1000-42 is the recommended rack for the L500 due to rack depth and total rack units.
