#5050 Dual Active Accessor
This feature must be specified to enable both accessors in attached Model HA1 Frames to be active at the same time.
Maximum: One
Prerequisite: Model HA1 Frames must be installed, and at least four frames (not counting the Model HA1 Frames service
bays or the Model B10, B18, B20 VTS) must be installed in the 3494.
#5184 Ethernet Attached Serial Hub
This feature provides two Ethernet Attached Serial Hubs (EASH) for Ethernet connection of open system attached tape
drives in this frame to the Library Manager in the 3494 Model Lxx Frame. Up to 96 tape drives in the 3494 can
communicate through an EASH connection to the Library Manager. This feature allows increases the total number of
drives supported in the 3494 for open systems attachment to 128. Each EASH can be attached to separate power
supplies for improved availability.
Required feature: No
Maximum number of features: One
Corequisites: Feature #9184 (EASH Enablement) must be installed on the 3494 Model Lxx.

interruption of normal operations.
See the #5230 if a 30 cartridge I/O station required.
Maximum: One
#5211
#5213
RS-232 Host Attachment
The #5211 and #5213 support attachment of iSeries or AS/400 processors and provide communications between the
iSeries and AS/400 system and the tape library using the Media Library Device Driver. The RS232 attached distance for
the #5211 is 50 ft and for the #5213 is 400 ft The #5211 or #5213 is required for AS/400 Host Attachment for releases
