Overview

The ODS-L30M PetaSite Master Unit is a library master
unit that holds up to two optional ODS-D77F/ODS-D280F
optical disc archive drive units (hereinafter referred to as
drive units) and up to 30 optical disc archive cartridges. By
installing an ODBK-103 expansion kit (not supplied) to
the ODS-L30M master unit, the PetaSite can be linked to
multiple expansion units, allowing you to expand the
system according to your needs. By efficiently allowing
read/write of data on multiple optical disc archive
cartridges, the ODS-L30M allows you to streamline the
archiving of data materials and the retrieval of archived
data materials (by uploading to a server).
The extension units include the ODS-L60E PetaSite drive
and ODS-L100E PetaSite cartridge extension units. The
ODS-L60E holds up to four optional drive units
(ODS-D77F/D280F) and up to 61 optical disc archive
cartridges. The ODS-L100E holds up to 101 optical disc
archive cartridges.
The ODS-D77F/ODS-D280F drive units that can be
mounted in the ODS-L30M and ODS-L60E are
specifically designed for use with the ODS-L30M/L60E.
In addition, their Fibre Channel support allows for high-
speed processing.
You can also install an ODBK-201 optional power supply
in the ODS-L30M or ODS-L60E to provide redundancy
and allow the same hot swapping capabilities that are
available with drive units. Doing so provides continuous
operation in the event one of the power supply units or
drive units fail in systems that require a high degree of
reliability.
In this manual, the PetaSite (including the master unit and
all additional extension kits or extension units) on which
the drive units are installed will be referred to as "the unit,"
and the optical disc archive cartridges will be referred to as
"cartridges."
