3590 H11
H1A
IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Drive
Also known as the 3590 High Performance Tape Subsystem, the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape
Drive Models H11 and H1A are ½-inch cartridge rack mountable tape drives that provide up to 34 MB
per second sustained data rate on Ultra SCSI interface or up to 42 MB per second using fibre, and up
to 60 GB capacity per cartridge (up to 180 GB when compressed). A 10-cartridge random access ACF
provides data capacity up to 1.8 TB unattended (not on the H1A model). With Ultra SCSI the 3590-H11
or H1A can simultaneously attach to any combination of two iSeries, AS/400e, pSeries, and RS/6000
systems. The H1A is supported in the 3494 Tape Library Dataserver and the H11 can upgrade to the
H1A or the H11.
Supported iSeries and AS/400 adapters:
#2729 PCI Magnetic Media Controller
#2749 PCI Ultra Magnetic Media Controller
#2765 PCI Fibre Channel Tape Controller, either direct attach or to SAN with a 3534-1RU SAN
Fibre Channel Managed Hub or 2109 or 3534-F08 switches in QuickLoop mode. Full switch
support is available with OS/400 V5R2.
