the off-line device and plug in a new device.

Capacity /Technology
Hot plug tape is available in three different capacities 20/40GB, 35/70GB and 50/100GB, and in two different tape formats, AIT and DAT.
Compatibility Testing
Hot plug tape has been tested and certified with Compaq ProLiant and AlphaServers, External Storage Enclosures, Smart Array controllers, and
Integrated Smart Array Controllers.
Easy Installation
Hot plug tape is designed for easy installations. Just open the box, identify the hot plug bay that is available for this device, and plug it in.
Mix and Match
Hot plug tape was designed with reduced cost of ownership in mind. Now there is no need to purchase a separate controller just for your tape drive. The
hot plug capabilities give our customers the ability to mix tape drives and hard drives on the same SCSI bus.
Serviceability
Servicing your tape drive has never been this easy. With hot plug tape, there are no tools required and you do not have to power down your server.
Simply pull out your defective device and plug in your new one.
Manageability
Compaq makes managing your tape device simple with the Compaq Insight Manager and Tape Storage Management Console. These two tools help
customers diagnose problems and easily upgrade firmware.
Performance
Because hot plug tape is offered in three different devices, the customer can actually chose which device will provide the right performance for their
environment.
