The innovative Sun StorageTek SL3000 Modular Library System lets you grow your tape automation environment at your own pace. Its open design offers true mixed media, logical and physical partitioning capabilities, advanced management, and high availability features, so you can consolidate mainframe and open systems environments while minimizing power, space, and operating costs. When it comes to data storage, staying ahead of the curve while also controlling data, power, and environmental impact can be a challenge. The Sun StorageTek SL3000 Modular Library System offers a fresh, eco-efficient approach to midrange storage, enabling you to reduce costs, simplify management, and minimize risk.

The intent of the power calculator is to provide guidance for estimating the electrical power consumption and heat dissipation for the tape library system. This data represents a typical tape library system functioning in a normal operating environment. It should not be used to calculate power or HVAC requirements. Instead, please use the appropriate site planning guide to allow for proper allowances.

You MUST allow electrical and cooling headroom for unforeseen circumstances, component upgrades, and increased workloads. Please allow for worst-case power conditions. Actual power consumption will vary from the sample workload used in the power calculator. These include, but are not limited to, the factors below. Each of these factors may cause significant differences in power consumption. For precise results, actual measurements based upon the exact HW/SW/Environmental conditions are recommended.

• Actual workload and its fluctuations
• Ambient temperature
• Cooling patterns
• Humidity
• Power management settings
