Maybe you can dig out the old delivery papers to find out how your library looks like today.

Re: What to know before upgrade a MSL6000 TL?
So in this case you probably need to get more tape drives, and in case you are on fiber, you would also need E1200-320 NSR (AD577A) interfaces.
If you are planning for perfomance you should have one LTO4 drive per NSR, a maximum of two drives is permited with a performance decrease.
Also these MSLs will only support one NSR card per "card cage" level.

Re: What to know before upgrade a MSL6000 TL?
This library can have a maximum of 505 slots and a maximum of 16 (LTO-4) drives.
You currently have 230 slots and 4 drives.
So I would suggest upgrading the number of slots.
