APPENDIX A—SPECIFICATIONS
SIZE AND WEIGHT
Ta b l e A - 2 lists the library’s dimensions and weight.
PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
This section describes the following performance specifications for the library.
DATA TRANSFER RATE
The data transfer rate for the library depends on the model of tape drive(s)
installed, as shown in Ta b l e A - 3 .
TAPE DRIVE PERFORMANCE
When installed in the library, a tape drive performs within its specifications.
For more information about tape drive performance specifications, refer to the
LTO Ultrium tape drive documentation available from the following web sites:
