IBM 3584-D52 Library Expansion Frame

The IBM TotalStorage 3584 Tape Library Expansion Frame Model D52 may be added to the IBM TotalStorage 3584 Tape Library Base Frame Models L22, L32, or L52 in order to add storage or drive capacity. Up to 15 Model D52 Frames may be added to each base frame. Each 3584 Model D52 Frame has a LTO cartridge capacity of up to 440 cartridge slots and support for up to twelve IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium Tape Drives with an incremental reduction of storage slots for each set of four drives. One additional Model D52 Frame can be added to serve as a Service Bay B for the second accessor in the IBM TotalStorage High Availability Model HA1. This model has the same footprint as the Model L52, which is a smaller footprint than the Models L32 or D32.
