Expansion Modules

Expansion modules enable the library to expand by adding space for

tape drives, an I/E station, and storage. Each expansion module from 96

to 780 LTO cartridge slots depending on the number of tape drives

installed and whether an I/E station is installed. See

Figure on page 21

for location information.

Quantum offers three different expansion modules (EMs) used with the

Scalar i6000:

• Drive Ready Expansion Module (DREM): This module is required

when drives will be installed into the module. It has the power and

network components needed to support tape drives. The DREM

supports up to 24 tape drives and up to 456 cartridge slots, but the

slots are reduced when drives or an I/E station are installed in the

module.

A new Series 3 DREM (DREM3) module was introduced with the

i12.2.1 code base. DREM3 modules installed in libraries with gen2

robots, gen2 electronics and running 12.2.1 or higher code will

support up to 24 tape drives.

• Storage Expansion Module (SEM): This module is used when

drives will not be installed in the module and high-density is not

needed. While the SEM does not support drives, it can be field

upgraded to a DREM if drives are needed in the future. The SEM

supports up to 456 cartridge slots, but the slots are reduced when

an I/E station is installed in the module.

A new Series 3 SEM (SEM3) module was introduced with the i12.2.1

code base. SEM3 modules can be field converted to a DREM3.

• High-Density Expansion Module (HDEM): This module is used

when it is important to minimize the floor space. The HDEM

supports up to 780 cartridge slots, but does not support drives. The

slots are reduced when an I/E station is installed in the module.
