Functionality for HP StorageW orks ESL E-Series 322e and 286e Tape Libraries is the same as
for Model 712e and Model 630e libraries, with the following differences.
■ Slot capacity for the Model 322e (Ultrium) library is 324. The left load port capacity is 18;
the right load port capacity is 36.
■ Slot capacity for the Model 286e (SDLT) library is 288. The left load port capacity is 16;
the right load port capacity is 32.
■ Slots are located in panels 1, 2, and 3 only, which are on the left as you face the front of the
library (see Figure 1).

■ HP strongly recommends you enable the right load port only (see Figure 1). If the right
load port is enabled, no slots are reallocated; the library slot count and slot numbering
remains the same.
Caution: For firmware 1.10 only, if the left load port is enabled, slots 307-324 in the 322e
or slots 273-288 in the 286e are moved to panel 4 from panel 3 to preserve the total
number of storage slots. If disabling the left load port or upgrading the firmware, be sure
that the slots in panel 4 are empty because they will become inaccessible, stranding any
media remaining in those slots.
Refer to the HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series Tape Libraries User’s Guide for additional
information about the libraries and how to use them.
