This chapter contains an introduction and a description of the 3494 Tape Library.
Note: The IBM 3494 Tape Library Operator Training Video Tape and the IBM 3494 Tape
Library Operator's Quick Guide are supplied with accessories.
Revision bars (|) appear in the left margin adjacent to information that is new or

The following information was new or changed for the previous edition of this
manual, GA32-0449-13.
Changes included:

Overview" on page 64.

v 115K Ethernet Attached Serial Hub (EASH) provides configuration so that drives
