Also, Feature #3486 (2Gb Fibre Channel Drive Attach) must be specified
on the frame that contains the Model J70 Controller with the 2Gb Fibre
Channel Switch (#3487 or #4887). One feature #3490 (Redundant 2Gb
Attach) must be specified to install a second 2Gb Fibre Channel Switch
(#3487 or #4887) to provide redundancy. Feature #4084 (Multiframe 2Gb
3590) must be specified on the other Model A14 Frames that contain Fibre
Channel tape drives that will be attached to the Model J70 Controller
with the 2Gb Fibre Channel Switch (#3487 or #4887) depending on the
number of #3487 or #4887 installed on the 3592 Model J70.

(#3486) 2Gb FC Drive Attach


This feature provides the mounting hardware for the 2Gb Fibre Channel
Switch on the 3590 Model A14 Frame that contains a 3592 Model J70
Controller that supports attachment of 3590 Tape Drives with Fibre
Channel Attachment (feature #3510 or #9510).
It includes the required mounting hardware and instructions for
installing a 2Gb Fibre Channel Switch in the Model A14, including
associated Ethernet hub and cabling between the 3592 Model J70
Controller and the hub and switch and drives in that Model A14.
Up to twelve 3590 Tape Drives in three Model A14 Frames
can be attached to the 3592 Model J70 Controller.


  • Feature type: Chargeable
  • Required feature: No
  • Maximum number of features: One.
  • Installation: Plant or Field
  • Prerequisites: Feature #3487 or #4887 must be installed on the 3592
    Model J70 Controller. This feature is mutually exclusive with
    Features #3464, #3474 or #4060.

(#3490) Redundant 2Gb Fibre Channel Drive Attach


This feature provides the mounting hardware and instructions for
installing a second 2Gb Fibre Channel Switch in the 3590 Model A14 Frame.


  • Feature type: Chargeable
  • Required feature: No
  • Maximum number of features: One
  • Installation: Plant or Field
  • Prerequisite: Feature #3486 must be installed on the
    3590 Model A14 Frame.

(#4084) Multiframe 2Gb 3590


This feature provides the hardware and installation instructions
to support attachment of 3590 Tape Drives with Fibre Channel
Attachment (features #3510 or #9510) in one 3590 Model A14 Frame
to a 3592 Model J70 Controller in a different Model A14 Frame.
In a multiframe fibre attachment, up to twelve 3590 Tape Drives
with Fibre Channel Attachment can be attached to the 3592 Model J70
Controller, four in each Model A14 Frame. This feature allows for a
Fibre Channel cable from each tape drive to the 2Gb Fibre Channel
Switch in the Model A14 Frame with the 3592 Model J70 Controller to be
included based on the number of drives installed in this frame.
The distance between the two Model A14 Frames in this multiframe
fibre configuration must be no more than 7 meters (23 feet).
If another controller is installed in this Model A14 Frame, that
controller will be non-functional.


  • Feature type: Chargeable
  • Required feature: No
  • Maximum number of features: Two.
  • Installation: Plant or Field
  • Prerequisites: One feature #3487 or #4887 must be ordered
    on the Model J70 Controller in the adjacent frame for each of these
    features ordered. This feature is mutually exclusive with
    Features #3464, #3474, #4060, #4062, #4064, #4074 or #9062.
