Despite the decreasing availability of server bays for storage devices, it is still important to consolidate storage devices in a single, convenient location to minimize space and cabling impacts. The IBM System Storage 7214 Tape and DVD Enclosure Express is designed to mount in one EIA unit of a standard IBM Power Systems 19-inch rack, and can be configured with one to three tape or DVD drives. The 7214 Express enclosure attaches to SAS-based models of the IBM Power Systems through external serial attached SAS adapters. The 7214 Express also attaches to some open system adapters.
The SAS electronic interface on the 7214 Express is designed to provide faster transfer rates, greater convenience and a reduction in space required for system-to-device cabling.
