IBM TS3500 Introduction And Planning Guide

Ordering 3592 media supplies by using the 3599 tape media
method
If you order media by using the 3599 tape media method, IBM TotalStorage
Enterprise Tape Media 3599 provides the ability to order unlabeled, pre-labeled,
initialized, and bulk-packaged data cartridges in a variety of combinations. You
can also order cleaning cartridges. See Table 59 for a list of data cartridges that can
be ordered by using the 3599 tape media method.
With the 3599 tape media method of ordering, model numbers are used to identify
the cartridge types, and feature code combinations are used to specify the
quantities, labeling, and initialization options. Table 59 shows a few examples of
ordering options for each cartridge type. Note that additional feature codes are
required to completely specify all the characteristics that you want of the
cartridges. Orders may be placed by calling 1-800-IBM-CALL (1-800-426-2255).
