Chapter 9. External storage, SANs, QIC, and VXA-2 formats for IBM iSeries and AS/400e servers 379
Notes:
1. Indicates that the capacity can double typically when the compression option is selected.
2. QIC-2DC and QIC-4DC are compression formats. Cartridge capacity is data dependent. Capacities shown are typical.
3. QIC24 format is written by S/36.
4. Available as a migration feature only during an upgrade.
5. Use of DC6150 and DC6525 media can shorten the life of the tape device and require more frequent maintenance.
6. This footnote is not used.
7. The internal 13 GB tape drives with feature code #6385 or #6485 also supports the 16 MB IBM MLR1 tape media. For the correct operation of the
#6385 and #6485 tape drives with the MLR1 tape media, the following PTFs are required:
MF19447 for V3R7
MF19448 for V4R1
MF19449 for V4R2
MF19450 for V4R3
With V4R4, support is built in.
8. Minimum operating system level to support the 25 GB capacity cartridge drive: OS/400 V4R1
