The HP Surestore Tape Array 5300 provides a high availability rack mount solution for HP Surestore DLT80, DAT24(DDS-3), DAT40(DDS-4) and DVD-ROM modules. Dual redundant power supplies, which can be hot-swapped, are available. (These are standard on the factory-integrated version.) The HP Surestore Tape Array 5300 occupies three EIA units of rack space. Individual SCSI connections are provided for each of the four half-height bays. DLT 80 module occupies two bays. SCSI terminators are not provided and must be ordered separately.

A maximum of FOUR half-height modules (DAT24, DAT40 and DVD-ROM) may be ordered with a HP SureStore Tape Array 5300. A maximum of TWO DLT80 modules can be ordered. A combination of ONE DLT80 module and TWO half-height modules may be ordered.

This unit replaces the SMART Storage range of rack mount tape drives.
  • Supported on HP e3000 A-Class and N-Class servers with MPE/iX 7.0 Express 1 or greater. HP recommends a maximum of two drive modules per SCSI host bus adapter.
  • Uses standard SCSI-2 68-pin high density SCSI connections.
  • DDS-3 drive is a SCSI single-ended device and cannot be mixed with LVD devices.
