Notes:
  1. Internal SCSI tape drives, external SCSI enclosures, and
    SCSI based automation products require a PCI-X U320 SCSI storage
    controller.
  2. A quantity of one SCSI interface and cabling kit (42C3910)
    is required for each SCSI tape drive.
  3. Base 33614LX Library requires the addition of one LTO magazine
    and a minimum of one LTO sled drive (maximum of two).
  4. A 19in rack mount shelf (option 96P1565) is available for
    placing in a rack.
