requirements, serviced by network
attached storage devices or
storage area networks. The
consolidati on of tape backup into a
single shared storage device
requires these devices to provide
both high capacity and high
performance, and the need for
redundancy and high availability.
With High availability features,
component level redundancy and
high capacity, the ESL9322S2 can
provide years of fully aut omated
operation for backup, save and
restore, and hierarchical storage
management of critical data, it is
qualified with a variety of industrystandard backu p appl ic at io n
solutions and operating systems.
With 222 or 322 slots and up to
eight hot plug SDLT drives, the
ESL9322S2 offer s up to 51.52 TB
of native data storage and native
transfer rates up to 460.8 GB/hr.

The HP StorageWorks ESL9322S2 Tape Library comes with up to 8 HP SDLT 160/320
GB tape drives (number of drives determined by SKU chosen) and has two models with
222 and 322 slots respectively.

The ESL9322S2 comes with a complete 222 or 322 slot library system configured with the associated number of
drives, installation and user’s manual, one-piece SDLT media, a copy of the Hewlett-Packard Storage
Management Solutions CD. Customers are required to also purchase the necessary number of add-on drives,
host bus adapters, SCSI cables, SDLT media, country specific power cords (pair) and applications software
licenses in order to complete the library solution.
Due to the size and weight of the unit, a pre- sales site survey is required. The pre-sales site survey document is
on http://www.compaq.com/support/techpubs/installation_guides/146587-001.html
NOTE: This Web site is available in English only.
Installation services can be ordered separately on Hewlett-Packard Services as part of each library order (requires
scheduling with local Hewlett-Packard Services provider). NOTE: Does not include special site work, which may
be required as a result of not meeting minimum site survey requirements.
HP StorageWorks ESL9000 series of DLT libraries offer customers both high performance and high reliability.
With its high availability feature set, the ESL9000 series provides for maximum uptime. Based on PCI backplane
architecture, the ESL9000 series also provides a simple upgrade path for future “plug-in” features. The
ESL9322S2 library is part of the ESL9000 series libraries.
As data becomes more and more mission critical, and downtime becomes more costly to the enterprise,
customers are requiring high availability consolidated storage solutions which offer hot swappable components
and redundancies of key operating sub-systems (tape drives, controllers, power supplies). With redundant power
distribution, power supplies, and cooling fans, coupled with “hot pluggable” drive carriers, hot swap power supplies
and cooling fan modules, the ESL9322S2 offers the best in high availability for continuous operation.
The ESL9322S2 uses hot pluggable drive carriers, allowing drive replacement and additional drives to be added
for capacity expansion without interrupting backup and restore functions. These hot pluggable drive trays allow for
easy scalability of per formance, as well as provide an easy upgrade p ath towards future drive technologies.
NOTE: The ESL9322S2 accepts only library ready drives specifically modified for use in the ESL9322S2 library.
Using SDLT 160/320 tape drives, and proven library robotics with a rating of 2,000,000 load/unload cycles, the
ESL9322S2 provides the necessary high reliability.

Digital Linear Tape uses a proven linear recording technology, a highly accurate tape guide system, and a read
after write correction system to provide high-capacity, high reliability data backup and restoration. DLT has fast
become the industry-standard secondary storage tape format for departmental and enterprise backup. The new
generation SDLT tape drive, in addition to enhanced capacity and backup performance provides advantages
several new features such as Laser Guided Magnetic Recording (LGMR™) technology, Pivoting Optical Servo
(POS), Magneto-Resistive Cluster Heads (MRC) , Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) channel
technology and Backward Read Compatible with earlier generation of DLT drives, to be able to read media written
in DLT IV format.
The ESL9322S2 configurations are fully supported through Insight Manager, providing information to
administrators for both robotic and tape status changes, and fault status of redundant components. HP TSMC
(Tape Storage Management Console) software provides diagnostics and easy firmware upgrade capabilities.
Other data and automation manageability features, including multi-host direct connectivity, are provided via
specific, third party applications software packages.
One year parts exchange, one year on-site next day service
