* Depths listed above exclude drive sleds. Drive sleds will add up to 50 mm to the overall length of
the library depending on tape drive type (half-height, full-height, Fibre Channel, SAS). Additionally,
when planning space requirements, take into account installed cables (particularly fibre-optic cable
radius on Fibre Channel tape drives).
