The tape drive is a 600-Mbyte cassette tape drive, and cannot be replaced in the field.

The following tapes are supplied with the IPE Module:

¥a 155-Mbyte tape that provides the operating system for the IPE Module

¥a 155-Mbyte tape that provides the application software

¥at least one blank tape for backups

Note: As shown in Table 7, the IPE Module cannot write to a
