Ibm 3490E Magnetic Tape Subsystem Enhanced Capability Models; F11, And Library Model F1A - IBM AS/400e User Handbook Manual

Removable Storage Media Devices
The 7210-020 CD-ROM bridge box is primarily intended for use with LPAR, but it is not
limited to LPAR. Since the PCI IOAs #2718 and #2768 serve as adapters for the tape bridge
box 7207-122, there can be such a device attached to the same IOA as the 7210-010
CD-ROM bridge box. If the 7210-020 CD-ROM bridge box is daisy chained to the tape bridge
box 7207-122, the tape bridge box 7207-122 must be the first physical device. Requires
OS/400 V4R5.
IBM 3490E Magnetic Tape Subsystem Enhanced Capability Models F00,
F01, F11, and Library Model F1A
The IBM 3490E Magnetic Tape Subsystem Enhanced Capability Models F00, F01, and F11
are reduced size single-drive tabletop, desk-side, or rack-mounted versions of the 3490E
family of tape drives. They are compatible with the 3490 E01, E11, C10, C11, and C22
models. They can be used as the Alternate IPL device.
The Model F00 is the tabletop version. The Model F01 is a desk-side version. The Model F11
is a rack-mountable version. Each uses ½-inch tape cartridges as the storage media. The
F1A is the model used in the 3494 Tape Library.
The F01 and F11 models include a ten-cartridge Cartridge Stack Loader. All three models
offer a 16-bit fast-and-wide SCSI-differential interface, a 3490E tape transport, and an
integrated control unit. All 3490E Fxxs have a sustained data transfer rate of up to 3 M/sec.
With Improved Data Recording Capability (IDRC) enabled, sustained data transfer rates of up
to 6.8 M/sec can be achieved. The actual throughput is a function of many factors and can
vary. With the ten-cartridge Cartridge Stack Loader, the F01 and F11 models provide an
automated, unattended backup capacity of up to 24G compressed. The standard capacity is
up to 8 GB. Maximum capacity is provided by the 3490Es Improved Data Recording
Capability (IDRC), which is standard on Models F00, F01, F11, and F1A.
