Tape Cartridges (3592 E06, EU6, E05, and J1A tape drives)
The 3494 Tape Library supports the following 3592 tape cartridges:
v
Enterprise Tape Cartridge (JA)
v Enterprise Economy Tape Cartridge (JJ)
v Enterprise WORM Tape Cartridge (JW)
v
Enterprise Economy WORM Tape Cartridge (JR)
v Enterprise Extended Length Tape Cartridge (JB) (3592 E06 and EU6 Tape Drive
and 3592 E05 Tape Drive only)
v
Enterprise Extended Length WORM Tape Cartridge (JX) (3592 E06 and EU6
Tape Drive and 3592 E05 Tape Drive only)
Capacity of the Enterprise Tape Cartridge depends on whether it is used by the
Model J1A, Model E05, or Model E06 or EU6. The J1A uses Enterprise Format 1
(E1) recording technology. The E05 also uses E1 when emulating the J1A, but when
operating as a native E05, it can also use Enterprise Format 2 (E2) technology,
which records at increased density. The J1A cannot read or write using E2.
Therefore, tapes using E2 can only be used in the 3592 Model E05 Tape Drive. The
E06 and EU6 read and write in E2, as well as in Enterprise Format 3 (E3). The E06
and EU6 will read, but not write, Enterprise Format 1.
