XLS Building Blocks

Mix and Match to Create the Right Solution

LRM (Library Resource Module) MEM (Media Expansion Module)Standalone libraryContains drives, I/O ports, storage slots, robotics, control, and powerActs as nucleus of larger systems

Rotating carousel holds 1,075 cartridgesConsumes less than 9 sq. ft. floor spaceAttaches to either side of an LRM

XLS Compass Architecture

Very high density per square foot

Low power consumption

Simple expansion!

LRM robot reaches into MEM-never leaves the LRM

Access 2,800 tapes in 21” of horizontal robot travel

System expands by alternating LRM’s and MEM’s

XLS Configurations

High storage density coupled with flexibility during growth Less linear movement to access large volumes of cartridges, over

2,800 cartridges can be accessed with an average 21” X axis motion “Low Speed” robotics motion profile is more reliable and requires

less power and cooling Cartridge access performance does not degrade when expanding

“I need to expand my XLS library

system”

“My raw storage needs are outpacing my access needs,

I will add another MEM”

“I need to add more tape drives to increase my access capability, I

will add another LRM”

Expansion Door Slots

Each door can hold 110 additional tape storage slots

The 820500 can accommodate one additional door expansion

The 832700 can accommodate two additional door expansions

The door slots block the view into the interior of the library

Page 13: XLS PRESENTATION Rev 031 The Simply Reliable Enterprise Library System Pro Technology.

Robot

XYZ + rotational theta axis = Compass Architecture

Short travel means low power and increased reliability

Uses closed loop servo motors for precise positioning

Bar code reader also used as absolute position sensor during mechanical calibration

XLS PRESENTATION Rev 0317

Auxiliary Equipment Rack

Optional for either 820500 or 832700 LRM

6U “in form factor” or 8U Equipment mounts on its side Unique latching scheme

provides easy access to front and rear of equipment mounted in rack

Independent AC power provided for equipment mounted in rack

XLS PRESENTATION Rev 0318

Drive Bays

Four LTO tape drives per drive bay 820500 has one drive bay standard,

supports a maximum of five drive bays for a total of 20 tape drives

832700 has two drive bays standard, supports a maximum of eight drive bays for a total of 32 tape drives

Any mix of SCSI or Fibre channel drives

Each drive bay displaces 30 tape storage slots

Page 16: XLS PRESENTATION Rev 031 The Simply Reliable Enterprise Library System Pro Technology.

XLS PRESENTATION Rev 0319

Drive Carriers XLS drive carriers slide into the

back of the drive bay

No tools are required to remove/exchange individual drives

Each drive bay location is individually controlled, drives may be brought offline independently

Blank carriers are used to block off empty drive positions, interlock prevents robot motion with empty drive bay positions

Drive Carrier Indicators

Each carrier has an individual drive status LED to easily identify the failed drive

The LED indicates if the drive is online/offline

Fibre drives have additional Link and Activity indicators
