Eachtape drive in the library is packaged in a container called a drive sled. The drivesled is a customer replaceable unit (CRU), and is designed for quick removal andreplacement in the library.The Ultrium 5 Tape Drive supports two SAS SFF-8088 connectors, or one LC FibreChannel connector. The SFF-8088 SAS connectors on the Ultrium 5 tape drives arecompatible with SAS-1 or SAS-2 cables.1-8 Dell PowerVault TL2000 Tape Library and TL4000 Tape Library User's Guide
