NOTE: The weight of each library varies somewhat based on the type and number of LTO tape drives
contained in the configuration. The weights shown here are for MSL2024/4048 configurations with 1/2
drives respectively per model. Configurations with different numbers
of tape drives can be calculated by
adding or subtracting the weight of a tape drive. An LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 drive weighs 2.10 kg/4.63 lbs.
