Note: The weight of each library varies somewhat based on the type and number of LTO tape drives contained in the configuration. The weights shown here are for MSL2024/4048/8096 configurations with 1/2/2 drives respectively per model. Configurations with different numbers of tape drives can be calculated by adding or subtracting the weight of a tape drive. An LTO-6
