The IBM 3490 E Model F1A is a 36-track tape unit designed to be a component
of the IBM Magstar 3494 Tape Library. The high quality of the IBM 3490E F1A
model and the downward compatibility to existing IBM 3480 and IBM 3490
formatted tape cartridges make this drive essential to include in the
Magstar 3494 Tape Library to support existing critical data.

| The IBM 3490E Model F1A

serviced from the rear, with no disruption to the Magstar 3494 Tape
Library. |

3490 Model F1A |
| The F1A drive is designed for installation
in the 3494 Magstar tape library. You can install one or two F1A drives in
any new 3494 L10 or D10 frame on independent sliders that enable the drives
to be serviced from the rear. This prevents disruption to the 3494 accessor
when the drive is being serviced. (Note that the F1A cannot be installed in
existing L10 frames due to the current frame design. The autoloader feature
is not available on the F1A.) When configured with the appropriate
controller feature codes, the F1A can attach to an S/390, SP, AS/400, or
RS/6000 system. The F1A can attach to the S/390 through ESCON channels. The
F1A can attach to the RS/6000 or SP through ESCON or SCSI, and to the AS/400
through SCSI. You can configure the F1A with up to two ESCON channel
adapters. For SCSI attachment, no controller features are required and one
SCSI attachment is provided. |
