Cartridge Tape Subsystem
The Model D41 and D42 are ½-inch cartridge drives which can be used for data interchange,
save/restore, program distribution, and alternate IPL. IDRC is standard. The Model D41 and D42 attach
using the #2644 Magnetic Tape Attachment Card/HP or the #2604 on 9406 B models.
The 3490E can be used as an automated tape library.
Not supported with OS/400 V5R1.

3580 IBM TotalStorage Ultrium Tape Drive
The 3580-H11 and 3580-H13 Ultrium Tape Drives are stand-alone, SCSI-attached IBM Linear Tape
Option (LTO) Ultrium tape drives. They provides a media capacity of up to 100 GB (200 GB with two to
one (2:1) compression) per cartridge and a sustained data rate of up to 15 MB per second
(uncompressed). The H11 has a one year CE assisted warranty and the H13 has a three year element
exchange warranty.
The 3580-H23 and 3580-L23 Ultrium 2 Tape Drives are stand-alone or rack mountable SCSI-attached
tape drives. Using the Ultrium 2 data cartridge, a capacity of up to 200 GB (400 GB with 2:1
compression) per cartridge can be achieved, and a native data transfer rate of 35 MB per second.
Aggregate sustained data rates of up to 252 GB per hour (with 2:1 compression) are achievable. They
both come with a three year element exchange warranty. They will read and write Ultrium 1 media with
Ultrium 1 capabilities and performance.
The 3580-L23 comes with a SCSI Ultra160 Low Voltage Differential (LVD) interface (HD68) for
attachment using the #5702 PCI-X Ultra Tape Controller (VHDCI interface) or #5705 PCI-X Tape/DASD
Controller. The 3580-H23 has an Ultra SCSI High Voltage Differential (HVD) interface and for
attachment by way of a #2729 PCI Magnetic Media Controller, #2749 PCI Ultra Magnetic Media
Controller, or #6534 Magnetic Media Controller.

IBM TotalStorage Ultrium Tape Autoloader 3581
The 3581-H13 and 3581-L17 Ultrium Tape Autoloaders are external, stand-alone or rack mounted
SCSI-attached autoloaders that incorporate IBM Ultrium tape drives. The capacity is up to seven tape
cartridges, providing a media capacity of up to 700 GB (1.4 TB with 2:1 compression), and a sustained
data rate of up to 15 MB per second (uncompressed). The H13 has a one-year CE assisted warranty
and the H17 has a three-year element exchange warranty. The 3581-H13 and H17 have a HVD Ultra
SCSI interface. A #2895 is required for a #6501 attachment.
The 3581-H23 and 3581-L23 Ultrium 2 Tape Autoloaders are external, stand-alone or rack mounted
SCSI-attached autoloaders that incorporate IBM Ultrium2 tape drives. The capacity is up to seven tape
cartridges, providing a media capacity of up to 1.4 TB (2.8 TB with 2:1 compression), and a sustained
data rate of up to 35 MB per second (uncompressed). The 3581-H23 has an HVD Ultra SCSI interface.
A #5099 is required for LVD attachment.
The 3581-L28 and 3581-F28 Ultrium 2U Tape Autoloaders are external, stand-alone or rack mounted
SCSI-attached (L28) and Fibre Channel-attached (F28) autoloaders that incorporate IBM Ultrium tape
drives. The capacity is up to eight tape cartridges, providing a media capacity of up to 1.6 TB (3.2 TB
with 2:1 compression), and a sustained data rate of up to 35 MB per second (uncompressed). The
3581-L28 has a LVD Ultra 160 SCSI interface, but can be converted to a High Voltage Differential (HV-)
Ultra SCSI interface with HVD Converter Kit feature #3104. The 3581-F28 comes with an LC Duplex
connector. An interposer #5096 might be required to connect a fibre cable with LC-Duplex to another
SC-Duplex connector.
The 3581 appears as two drives on the SCSI bus and can be operated in sequential or random-access
modes. The 3581 can be used as an automated tape library.
