IBM 3494 Tape Libraries

Figure 1 on page 3 shows three possible con®gurations of the 3494. The 3494 is available in multiple con®gurations using one control unit frame and up to ®fteen optional frames. The available frame types are:

vThe tape library control unit frame, „1… or „3…, includes the operator panel, a tape subsystem (3490E Model CxA or F1A with drives, 3590 Model B1A tape drives, or 3590 Model A00 or A50 Control Unit with drives), a library manager, cartridge storage cells, a cartridge accessor, and if ordered, the Convenience Input¤Output Station. One control unit frame is required in every library con®guration.

vThe optional drive unit frame „4… contains additional cartridge storage and may contain a 3490E Model CxA or F1A tape subsystem, 3590 Model B1A tape drives, or a 3590 Model A00 or A50 Control Unit with drives.

vThe optional Model B16 Virtual Tape Server (VTS) frame „5… contains additional

cartridge storage and the controller and associated disk storage for the VTS. A drive unit frame„4… that holds the 3590 Model B1A tape drives, managed by the Model B16 VTS, must be located to the left of the Model B16 Virtual Tape Server frame.

vThe optional stand-alone 3494 Model B18 Virtual Tape Server frame „8… contains the controller and associated disk storage for the VTS. A drive unit frame „4… that holds the 3590 Model B1A tape drives, managed by the Model B18 VTS, may be located at any position in the library (except frame 1) but must be within a distance of 14 m (46 ft.) from the Model B18.

vThe optional frame „6… contains additional cartridge storage only.

vThe Optional HA1 Service Bays (left „2… and right „7…) contain a service area for the accessors.
