Magnetic Media Controllers
386 AS/400e System Handbook
IOP workload and bus data traffic may need to be considered for Tape, DASD, and LAN
subsystems.
If you are placing any of the following IOPs in combination on the same SPD bus, follow the
rules provided in the table. Refer to the
AS/400 System Builder
, SG24-2155, for additional
details.

Notes:
1. SPD cards in 8xx and SBx models are only supported in migration towers and towers attached to these
migration towers via the SPD Bus.
2. #2624 can support internal tape and diskette devices only.
3. No longer available, but is supported during migrations to these systems.
4. Supported in the #5065 Storage/PCI Expansion Tower only.
None of the above magnetic media controllers are supported on the 9401 models.
