Internal Magnetic Media 355
Internal Magnetic Media
Tape tensioning control improvements in the tape unit eliminate the need for an
auto-retension pass during the data cartridge load sequence. This is a major time saving
since the auto-retension pass on earlier QIC tape units can take up to five minutes. The
#6386 Tape Unit retensions the date cartridge only when a loss of tension is detected. For
typical operating conditions, this should be very infrequent.
It may be used for save/restore, Alternate IPL, program distribution, migration, and QIC
cartridge tape exchange.
#6490 7 GB 8mm Cartridge Tape Unit
Can be used for save/restore, Alternate IPL, migration, and 8mm cartridge tape exchange
using appropriate media and density.
CD-ROM
Internal CD-ROM Drives
AS/400e server code is distributed on CD-ROM media. One CD-ROM drive is required on all
270 and 8xx models and must be ordered as a separate feature on the system unit. It can
also be used for Alternate IPL but not as a save/restore device for the system.
