Notes:
1. The actual degree of compression achieved is highly sensitive to the characteristics of the data compressed.
2. This entry illustrates the best possible performance. Other components of the system may limit the actual performance achieved.
The best source of information about performance is the iSeries Performance Capabilities Reference, SC41-0607.
3. The #2749 PCI Ultra Magnetic Media Controller attachment requires a minimum of OS/400 V4R5.
4. The #2765 PCI Fibre Channel Tape Controller attachment requires a minimum of OS/400 V5R1.
5. The #2765 PCI Fibre Channel Tape Controller supports attachment to the 3582, 3583, and 3584 only.
6. The #2765 PCI Fibre Channel Tape Controller supports attachment to the 3590-Exx and 3590-Hxx only.
7. The 3590 capacities depend on cartridge type. The Extended High Performance Cartridge has twice the capacity of the original
High Performance Cartridge. The compressed capacities assume 3:1 compression.
8. Minimum operating system to support the #5702 PCI-X Ultra Tape Controller, #5704 PCI-X Fibre Channel Tape Controller and
#5705 PCI-X Tape/DASD Controller attachment is OS/400 V5R2.
9. The maximum number of drives depends on the adapter used to attach to the iSeries server:
– #2765, #5702: 16 drives, media changers, or both per adapter with a maximum of 96 devices in the library partition.
– OS/400 is limited to 32 drives pooled per library, regardless of how the drives are attached (one versus multiple).
10. Minimum operating system to support #5712 PCI-X Tape/DASD Controller attachment: i5/OS V5R3.
11. Minimum operating system to support #2765 attachment: OS/400 V5R1.
Minimum operating system to support #5704 attachment: OS/400 V5R2
12. Multiple frame combinations are possible.
