Chapter 1. Introduction
The 3494 Tape Library automates the retrieval, storage, and control of Cartridge System Tape, Enhanced Capacity Cartridge System Tape, and High Performance Cartridge Tape. In conjunction with supporting software and 3490E Models C1A, C2A and F1A, 3590 Model B1A, 3590 Model A00 or A50, 3494 Model B16 and B18 Virtual Tape Servers, and Model HA1 High Availability Unit, the 3494 allows cartridges to be mounted and demounted automatically on tape drives.
Note: The 3494 Operator Training Video Tape and the 3494 Operator's Quick
Guide are supplied with accessories.

IBM 3494 Tape Libraries
Figure 1 on page 3 shows three possible con®gurations of the 3494. The 3494 is available in multiple con®gurations using one control unit frame and up to ®fteen optional frames. The available frame types are:
vThe tape library control unit frame, „1… or „3…, includes the operator panel, a tape subsystem (3490E Model CxA or F1A with drives, 3590 Model B1A tape drives, or 3590 Model A00 or A50 Control Unit with drives), a library manager, cartridge storage cells, a cartridge accessor, and if ordered, the Convenience Input¤Output Station. One control unit frame is required in every library con®guration.
vThe optional drive unit frame „4… contains additional cartridge storage and may contain a 3490E Model CxA or F1A tape subsystem, 3590 Model B1A tape drives, or a 3590 Model A00 or A50 Control Unit with drives.
vThe optional Model B16 Virtual Tape Server (VTS) frame „5… contains additional
cartridge storage and the controller and associated disk storage for the VTS. A drive unit frame„4… that holds the 3590 Model B1A tape drives, managed by the Model B16 VTS, must be located to the left of the Model B16 Virtual Tape Server frame.
vThe optional stand-alone 3494 Model B18 Virtual Tape Server frame „8… contains the controller and associated disk storage for the VTS. A drive unit frame „4… that holds the 3590 Model B1A tape drives, managed by the Model B18 VTS, may be located at any position in the library (except frame 1) but must be within a distance of 14 m (46 ft.) from the Model B18.
vThe optional frame „6… contains additional cartridge storage only.
vThe Optional HA1 Service Bays (left „2… and right „7…) contain a service area for the accessors.

Note: For additional 3494 con®gurations, seeIBM 3494 Tape Library Introduction and Planning Guide, GA32-0279.
The control unit frame provides full library function without the other optional frames. Adding the optional frames to the control unit frame provides for additional storage and tape drive capabilities. See Table 2 on page 25 for the cartridge capacity of each frame.
Chapter 1. Introduction 3
Functional Components
Figure 2 on page 5 and Figure 3 on page 6 show the following functional components of the control unit frame, viewable from the front:
„1… Cartridge storage cells
Are located on the interior side of front doors and on the back walls of the 3494. See „1… in Figure 2 on page 5 or in Figure 3 on page 6.
„2… Magnetic tape subsystem
The 3494 uses either the 3490E Magnetic Tape Subsystem Model C1A or C2A, Figure 2 on page 5, 3490E Magnetic Tape Subsystem Model F1A, or the 3590 High Performance Magnetic Tape Subsystem Model B1A, Figure 3 on page 6, with or without a 3590 Model A00 or A50 Control Unit.
„3… Rail system
The cartridge accessor is carried through the library on the rail system. The rail system consists of two horizontal rails, one at the top and one at the bottom.
„4… Convenience Input¤Output Station
|
The 3494 may have a Convenience Input¤Output Station feature installed for |
|
inserting or ejecting cartridges without interrupting the normal automated |
|
operations. |
|
Two features are available: either the ten-cartridge capacity Convenience |
|
Input¤Output Station as shown in Figure 2 on page 5 or the 30-cartridge |
| |
capacity Convenience Input¤Output Station (not shown). |
| |
Note: The Convenience Input¤Output Station feature is required for |
| |
Import/Export operations in the Model B18 VTS with the Advanced |
| |
Function Feature. |
| |
„5… Operator panel |
|
The basic operating procedures are performed from the operator panel. |

Figure 4 on page 7 shows the following functional components of the control unit frame, viewable from the rear:
„1… Library manager
Controls all operations in the 3494. Its hardware consists of a controller, display, pointing device, and keyboard. An optional Remote Library Manager Console feature is also available for remote installation on a Local Area Network (LAN) environment. During normal operations, the operator panel controls are used to operate the 3494. The library manager is used for error recovery, operations status, and service.
„2… Cartridge storage cells
Are located on the interior side of the front doors on the 3494 and on the back interior wall.
„3… Cartridge accessor
Moves on horizontal and vertical axes, moving cartridges between the storage cells, devices, and input and output facilities. The vision system (barcode reader) on the cartridge accessor identi®es cartridges.
„4… Picker
Is the part of the cartridge accessor that actually picks cartridges. The picker comes standard with one gripper installed or two grippers if the optional Dual Gripper feature is installed.
„5… 3590 Model A00 or A50 Control Unit
is the 3590 Model A00 or A50 Control Unit.

„1… Cartridge storage cells
Are located on the interior side of the front door and on the back wall of the frame.
„2… Magnetic tape subsystems
The magnetic tape subsystems that can be installed in a drive frame are the 3490E Magnetic Tape Subsystem Model C1A or C2A (not shown), the 3590 Magnetic Tape Subsystem Model F1A (one or two per frame), or the 3590 High Performance Magnetic Tape Subsystem Model B1A with or without a 3590 Model A00 or A50 Control Unit.
„3… Rail system
The cartridge accessor is carried through the library on the rail system installed in each frame. The rail system consists of two horizontal rails, one at the top and one at the bottom of the frame.
