Manager and accessor for improved availability. The Model HA1 frame includes no storage cells for
tape cartridges and no drives.
Notes:
1. The 3490E, 3590, and 3592 tape drives are supported by the L10, L12 and L22 Library Control Units provided that the appropriate
drive units are installed (3494-D10 for 3490E, 3494-D12 for 3590, 3494-D22 for 3592).
2. The #5300 is the specify feature for a drive unit, and the #5400 is the specify feature for a storage unit. These are each replaced
by the 3494 Models D10 and S10 respectively. Both the #5300 and #5400 are supported by the 3494 Tape Library Dataserver
Models L10 and L12.
3. The #5302 is the specify feature for upgrading a #5300 to support 3590-B1A tape transports in place of 3490-CxA tape transports.
4. The maximum combined total of D10, D12, D22, S10, #5300, #5302, and #5400 is 15.
