Removable Storage Media Devices
The 7208 Model 345 can be used for save/restore or archiving. It can provide a media
capacity of up to 150 GB of data storage per cartridge using the Adaptive Lossless Data
Compression (ALDC) algorithm for compression. It has a sustained data rate of 12 M per
second (20 M per second with a 2.5:1 compression ratio). This gives three times the capacity
and four times the date rate of the 7208 Model 342.
The 7208 Model 345 has the ability to read (but not write) the 20 GB 8mm AME format.
The 7208 Model 345 attaches to the AS/400e and iSeries servers in these ways:
• #2718 PCI Magnetic Media Controller
• #2768 PCI Magnetic Media Controller
For a description of the #2718 and #2768, see “I/O Adapters and Controllers” on page 291.
Prerequisites
The minimum OS/400 release required is V4R5.
