Important Information
The information presented here represents the most up-to-date information that
Spectra Logic can provide you to supplement the product user guides and other
printed material.
Integration Tips
Spectra Logic does not support the use of the Adaptec 29320 SCSI card with any
Spectra Logic library. Note, however, that the Adaptec 29320A SCSI is supported.
Library Media Capacity
The Spectra T24 library currently does not have a safety feature that prevents the
import of more tapes than there are available slots, so the user must pay attention to
how many tapes are being imported.
Do not import more than 24 tapes into a library with 24 active slots (23 with the
mailslot enabled).
