Power supply2 1 or 2 1 or 2 1 or 2 per expansion module
1Maximum number of cartridges with fully populated modules (base + 3 expansion modules) is 311.
  • Maximum native capacity with all modules fully populated is 62.2 TB, using LTO2 SCSI or LTO2 FC tape drives.
  • Maximum native capacity with all modules fully populated is 124.4 TB, using LTO3 FC tape drives.
2Each module (base or expansion) comes with two power options:
  • Standard - 1 power supply
  • Redundant - 2 power supplies
Rack Mounting
The Sun StorEdge L500 Tape Library is supported in the following units: Characteristics include:
  • Up to four L500 modules (base module and 3 expansion modules) can be mounted in any Sun cabinet.
  • Up to five L500 modules (base module and 4 expansion modules) can also be mounted in any industry standard 19-inch cabinet or rack.
  • The L500 with five modules requires 40RU of cabinet space.
