The packs of cartridges are called TeraPack® cases
Each TeraPack case holds 10 LTO tapes 10 SAIT tapes, or 9 SDLT tapes.
The Spectra T950 library inventories media using a bar code reader mounted on the
library’s Transporter, which is the robotic mechanism that handles media groups
inside the library. The bar code reader takes inventory by reading the unique bar
codes on the individual tape cartridges, as well as by reading the bar codes on the
multi-slot TeraPack cases. The library’s two TeraPack Access Ports (TAPs) provide a
practical method for inserting and removing media. TeraPack cases with integrated
dust covers provide a convenient method for storing the media in a safe, dust-free
environment.
The library supports multiple interface technologies at the same time on the same
library through Shared Library Services (SLS). You can use SLS to connect the
library to different hosts and to partition the physical library into separate logical
libraries.
The Spectra T950 library supports mixed tape drive technologies and mixed media.
It can support from 2 to 24 full-height tape drives per library frame. Depending on
the number of drives installed, the library can hold up to 950 LTO or SAIT
cartridges in a single frame. See Capacity Specifications on page 23 for more detail
on various single-frame and cascade configurations.
The library’s modular design makes it easy to upgrade capacity or performance at
any time. It has a color touch screen control panel, internal lighting, internal
temperature sensors for monitoring incoming and outgoing air temperatures, and
LEDs indicating library functions.
The library handles most equipment and power failures with features that allow it
to continue to operate and to always reliably protect your data.
