*5755 Learn about the features of this media device.
Description The Ultrium 5 serial attached SCSI (SAS) tape drive is a half-high tape drive designed for Open Systems backup and restore applications. These
files can include multimedia, imaging, transaction processing, large databases, and other storage-intensive applications. It is the fourth generation in the
Ultrium series of products, and is available with a Serial Attached SCSI interface (SAS). The tape drive is an LTO Ultrium 5 standard interchange device. The
drive will read tapes written by other Ultrium 5 drives, and will write to tapes readable by other Ultrium 5 drives. For an illustration of the drive, see Front view
of tape drive.

 FRU part number is 46C2007. For media part numbers, see Tape cartridges (FC 5638).
 Native storage capacity of 1500 GB per cartridge (3000 GB at 2:1 compression)
 Custom card identification number (CCIN) number is 63A0
 Data transfer rate: 140 MB per second native mode, 240 MB per second at 2:1 compression
 Burst data transfer rate of 600 MB per second
 256 MB read-and-write cache
 Support for encryption on Ultrium 5 tape cartridges
 Single Character Display (SCD) operator panel
 Ready and Fault status lights

Tools The following tools and documentation are needed to complete the installation:
 A flat-blade screwdriver (if this device is not an auto-docking feature on your system)
 Your system unit documentation, including any service documentation
 Your operating system documentation
Contact the place of purchase if an item is missing or damaged.
Note: If you are installing the auto-docking version of this device on your system, see your system documentation for information about the auto-docking
feature.
Media The drive will read and write on Ultrium 5 and Ultrium 4 cartridges, and read Ultrium 3 cartridges. The drive will not read or write on Ultrium 2 and
Ultrium 1 cartridges.
Each Ultrium 5 tape cartridge can store up to 1.5 TB of uncompressed data, or up to 3.0 TB of compressed data.
Note: The actual capacity varies depending on the application, the type of data, and the tape cartridge. When data compression is activated, 1.5 TB is typical
and 3.0 TB is possible. The default setting of data compression is controlled by the host system. The user and the application software can control the activation
or deactivation of the data compression setting. The drive can optimally achieve a 2:1 compression ratio.
