This section describes the Intermediate, Full, and Capacity on Demand features for the

TS3500 Tape Library.

In the TS3500 Tape Library, the initial (entry) capacity of a Model L22 or Model L23 frame is

enabled to use 58 cartridge slots for 3592 tape cartridges. If you add the Intermediate

Capacity or Full Capacity features, you can enable additional storage elements in the Model

L22 or Model L23 to increase the available capacity to 117 cartridge slots, or from 199 to

260 cartridge slots (depending on the features that you order).

The initial capacity of a Model L52 or Model L53 frame is enabled to use 64 cartridge slots

for LTO Ultrium tape cartridges. If you add the Intermediate Capacity or Full Capacity

features, you can enable additional storage elements in the Model L52 or Model L53 to

increase the available capacity to 129 cartridge slots, or from 219 to 287 cartridge slots

(depending on the features that you order).

The Intermediate Capacity feature is available through an IBM plant site as feature code

1641 and through the field as feature code 1643.

The Full Capacity feature is available through an IBM plant site as feature code 1642 and

through the field as feature code 1644. This feature is required to add a 16-slot I/O station.

The Intermediate Capacity feature is a prerequisite to the Full Capacity feature. The Full

Capacity feature is required when you add one or more expansion frames to a base frame.

Capacity features that are available through the field are known as Capacity On Demand.
