The SL8500 library supports a wide variety of tape drives with one requirement, the interface to these drives must
be fiber-optic based, meaning Fibre Channel, FICON

attachments.
Note: SCSI interfaces are not supported.
See
Appendix C, “Tape Drives”
for specific information about the drives.
1.
Fiber Connection
, or
Fiber Connectivity (FICON)
—IBM’s fiber optic channel technology that extends the
capabilities of ESCON. FICON supports full duplex data transfers over longer distances.
2.
Enterprise Systems Connection
, or
Enterprise Systems Connectivity (ESCON)
—an IBM fiber optic
channel technology that supports half duplex data transfers up to 200 Mb/s.
T9840
A, B, C, & D
StorageTek T9840
are
access-centric
tape drives that are ideal for
applications that demand high data throughput and
fast recall.
These drives use a
