Information Update
NOTE: Dell recommends upgrading existing PowerVault ML6010 CM (5U), ML6020 CM (14U), and ML6030 CM (23U)
libraries to the latest drive and library firmware. The latest firmware can be found at http://support.dell.com.
NOTE: When performing a library firmware update, please do not reboot or power cycle your library until the login
prompt appears again on the operator panel. The operator panel may be blank for up to 10 minutes during the firmware
update.
Important Information About Available Library Configurations
The following paragraphs provide information about two newly available ML6000 library configurations:
• ML6030 CM plus one (1) ML6000 EM 9U Expansion Module (32U total rack height, where 1U = 1.75")
• ML6030 CM plus two (2)ML6000 EM 9U Expansion Modules (41U total)
These two library configurations are not documented in the most recent version of the Dell PowerVault ML6000
Tape Library User’s Guide.
Description
The ML6000 library is designed for ease of installation, configuration, and field upgrades. The ML6000 library is
built upon two basic building blocks: the 5U Library Control Module and the 9U Expansion Module.
These building blocks form the basis of the following library configurations:
• ML6010 CM is a 5U Library Control Module
• ML6020 CM consists of one (1) ML6010 CM 5U Library Control Module and one (1) ML6000 EM 9U
Expansion Module (14U total)
• ML6030 CM consists of one (1) ML6010 CM 5U Library Control Module and two (2) ML6000 EM 9U
Expansion Modules (23U total)
In addition, the ML6030 CM configuration can now be expanded as follows:
• ML6030 CM plus one (1) ML6000 EM 9U Expansion Module (32U total)
• ML6030 CM plus two (2) ML6000 EM 9U Expansion Modules (41U total)
Modules
ML6000 libraries are modular, and you can increase the size at any time. The three base systems for the ML6000
library are as follows:
• ML6010 CM (5U rack height)
• ML6020 CM (14U rack height)
• ML6030 CM (23U rack height)
These configurations can be scaled up by adding ML6000 EM 9U Expansion Modules to a maximum rack height
of 41U. Expansion modules provide additional capacity as your storage and tape drive requirements change.
Table 1-1 on page 2 contains information library capacity, while Figure 1-1 on page 3 illustrates library
scalability.
