machine-readable form. All Enhanced Capacity Cartridge System Tape
cartridges must have a separate single character label with the letter E
in both human and machine-readable form. Cartridge System Tape
cartridges may either have no cartridge type label or a separate label
with the character 1. No other machine-readable labels are allowed to
be placed on the cartridge. The VOLSER on the external label should
correspond to the internally-written label on the physical volume. The
3494 uses the external label to identify cartridges in the library
during inventory and open-door verification operations. Except on
cartridges that have been entered into the library via the
externally-unlabeled tape support function the external label is also
utilized to verify that the correct volume is selected during other
library operations. It uses the media identifier, if present, to
determine the type of the cartridge.

to enter externally-unlabeled tapes into the 3494. The
externally-unlabeled tape must enter the library through the
Input/Output station (#5210). The operator will assign an external
label number and media type (standard, enhanced, or high performance),
via the tape library console. The library will then accept this tape as
if externally labeled. All library functions are now available to this
externally-unlabeled tape. Extreme care must be taken not to move an
externally-unlabeled tape during any open-door or manual activities. It
is recommended that the externally-unlabeled tape be ejected as soon as
the job is completed.

(#0520) Library Manager Functional Enhancement Field


This feature provides an update to the microcode of an installed
library manager in a 3494 Frame and the attached open system tape drives
to provide the latest level of functional microcode firmware support.
Newer microcode levels may be required when adding new functions.


  • Maximum: None.
  • Field Installation Only.

    One of the following three features should be selected based on the
    number of units in the installation.

    One of the following three features were used to provide remote
    support on previous installations of the 3494 Models L12 and L22. New
    shipments of a 3494 Model L12 or L22 should specify one of the IBM
    TotalStorage Master Console features (#2713, #2714, or #2715).

    IBM TotalStorage Master Console Features


    The following features #2713, #2714, and #2715 provide connection to
    an IBM TotalStorage Master Console (TSMC) to enable enhanced remote
    support to improve availability. The TSMC can remotely monitor each
    attached device to determine if it is working properly and report any
    error alerts for the early detection of problems. Use of the TSMC may
    expedite microcode updates, reduce service times, and enhance local
    service. One of these features must be ordered on any new 3494 Tape
    Library Model L12, or L22 instead of the Remote Support features (#2710,
    #2711, or #2712). They are recommended on every installed 3494 Tape
    Library. Any 3494 VTS, 3590 Model A60, or 3592 Model J70 in a 3494
    library should also attach to the IBM TotalStorage Master Console. The
    same master console for service may be shared between the following
    units:


    • 3494 Model AX0, B10, B18, B20, HA1, L10, L12, L14, or L22
    • VTC in a 3494 Model CX1
    • 3590 Model A60
    • 3592 Model J70

    To connect a unit to an IBM TotalStorage Master Console, one of the
    following three features must be selected on the unit based on the number
    of units attached to that master console facility in the installation.

    (#2713) Master Console For Service


    This feature provides the IBM TotalStorage Master Console, an Ethernet
    hub and a cable and connectors for connection of one of the above units
    to an IBM supplied modem to enable remote enhanced service. This feature
    should be specified on the first unit in an installation connected to a
    master console facility. The Ethernet hub provides 14 additional
    connections for cables supplied with feature #2714 or #2715.


    • Minimum: One of feature #2713, #2714, or #2715 is required on all
      new orders of a 3494 Model L12 or L22.
    • Maximum: One of #2713, #2714, or #2715. A maximum of one of feature
      #2714 may be connected to the Master Console For Service feature #2713.
    • Plant or field installable.

    (#2714) Console Expansion


    This feature provides an attachment cable for connection of one of the
    above units, and an Ethernet hub for expanding the number of units that
    can be attached to the Master Console For Service (#2713). Up to 14
    additional connections are provided by this feature for connection of
    #2715 or another #2714.


    • Minimum: One of feature #2713, #2714, or #2715 is required on all
      new orders of a 3494 Model L12 or L22.
    • Maximum: One of #2713, #2714, or #2715. A maximum of one other
      Console Expansion (#2714) may be connected to the Ethernet hub provided
      by this feature #2714. A maximum of two of feature #2714 may be included
      in a single master console facility (providing a total maximum of 43 unit
      connections).
    • Plant or field installable.

    (#2715) Console Attachment


    This feature provides a cable to attach a unit to the Ethernet hub
    provided by the Master Console For Service (#2713) or the Console
    Expansion (#2714). A maximum of 40 of feature #2715 may be included in a
    single master console facility.


    • Minimum: One of feature #2713, #2714, or #2715 is required on all
      new orders of a 3494 Model L12 or L22.
    • Maximum: One of #2713, #2714, or #2715.
    • Plant or field installable.
