DX-Series System
6 Quantum DX-Series User’s Guide
Serial ATA hard drives are the heart of the DX-Series system. These hard
drives (1 drive per drive sled = 16 total drives) appear to the backup
application as DLT tape cartridges (see figure 2
).
Data is stored on the hard drives through an interface that appears as an
ATL P1000 tape library. This allows backup applications to recognize and
integrate a DX-Series system into a data center environment just like a
typical tape library.

Caution: Removing hard drives during system operation may cause
loss of data or degraded system performance. Contact
Quantum customer support (see
Contacts on page xvi) to
report any hard drive failure.
