1-20 StorageTek SL8500 Library Guide
Accessory Racks
The library provides space for up to four traditional 19-inch racks to be installed in the
DEM. Equipment should meet the rack requirements (see "Accessory Racks" on
page 1-7). The number of racks supported in the library is determined by the library
power configuration:
■ N+1 power configuration = 2 racks max
■ 2N power configuration = 4 racks
Cartridge Access Ports
To upgrade a library with rotational CAPs to the bulk CAP, purchase the upgrade kit
listed below.
Internal Ethernet Switch
Pass-thru Ports
Connecting two or more SL8500 libraries with pass-thru ports (PTPs) creates a library
complex. The PTPs are installed between the DEMs and RIMs of the adjacent libraries.
A single order of PTP mechanisms includes a set of four PTP mechanisms, one
mechanism for each rail area between the libraries. The ILC kit includes the Ethernet
hub and cables to connect the additional libraries. Each ILC kit can support up to five
libraries in a complex. Order two kits for a complex with more than five libraries.
