drive head
The component that records an electrical
signal onto magnetic tape, or reads a
signal from tape into an electrical signal.
DTE
See
data transfer element
.
dual-gripper transport mechanism
Located on the cartridge accessor of the
TS3500 Tape Library and mounted on the
pivot assembly, the device that contains
the two grippers which get and put
cartridges into storage slots, drives, or the
I/O stations.
E
eject
To remove or force out from within.
electronic mail
Correspondence in the form of messages
transmitted between user terminals over a
computer network.
element address
The SCSI term for the host's view of a
cartridge location.
See
electronic mail
.
enable
To make functional.
encrypt
In Cryptographic Support, to
systematically scramble information so
that it cannot be read without knowing
the coding key. See also
decrypt
.
encryption
The conversion of data into a cipher. A
key is required to encrypt and decrypt the
data. Encryption provides protection from
persons or software that attempt to access
the data without the key.
encryption key manager
A software program that assists
IBM-encrypting tape drives in generating,
protecting, storing, and maintaining
encryption keys, which encrypt
information written to and decrypt
information read from tape media.
enhanced frame control assembly
The power structure for Models L23, D23,
L53, and D53. The assembly combines
drive power, library power, and dual AC
line cord capabilities into a 2N power
design with no single point of failure or
single point of repair.
enhanced node cards
Node cards with increased synchronous
dynamic and nonvolatile random-access
memory (RAM).
error-recovery procedures (ERP)
Procedures designed to help isolate and,
where possible, to recover from errors in
equipment. The procedures are often used
with programs that record the statistics of
machine malfunctions.
Ethernet
A 10-Mbps baseband local area network
that allows multiple stations to access the
transmission medium at will without
prior coordination, avoids contention by
using carrier sense and deference, and
resolves contention by using collision
detection and delayed retransmission.
Expanded I/O Station
On the front door of the TS3500 Tape
Library, the lower compartment into
which you insert and remove cartridges
into and from the library. Both stations
are accessed by the cartridge accessor.
expansion frame
A unit that may be added to the base
frame of the TS3500 Tape Library. Also
known as the Model D22, D23, D32, D52,
D53, S24, or S54, the expansion frame
includes a rail assembly for the cartridge
accessor and up to 12 tape drives.

Fibre Channel
A high-speed, full-duplex, serial
communications technology that is
capable of interconnecting Ultrium tape
