Appendix B. External tape and tape library attributes 501
Notes:
1. Transfer rates are for single SCSI channel configurations. Tape Libraries utilizing split library or dual
host configurations may obtain higher rates. Data compression typically provides a 2X improvement in
capacity and transfer rate, but since data compression is affected by many factors, actual improvements
may be more or less than 2X.
2. Includes rack mounting hardware and two power cords (120V and 250V). Models B22 and C22 include
an additional two power cords. Option includes a 4.5m cable, controller and cleaning cartridge.
3. Required for Dual Host or Split Library configurations with 3570B2x or 3570C2x containing two drives.
Option includes a 4.5m cable and controller.
4. Option contains an HVD storage interface.
5. Required for either dual host or split library operation. Should be installed by a qualified service
personnel. Data transfer rate equals 7/15 (native/compressed) MB/sec. Option ships without a
controller.
6. Magstar MP Media can be ordered by calling 888-IBM-MEDIA or 888-426-6334 in the US, Canada or
