1. See Clean quarter-inch tape drives to
correlate the feature code number of the
tape unit to the front bezel of the tape
unit label.
2. In the tape unit feature
code columns, R/W indicates both read and
write support of the associated media type
and format. An R indicates read only. No
indicates that the media type and format
is not supported.
3. Data Compaction is a term
used to describe a data recording option
for compacting (or compressing) data before
writing to the tape media. Selecting the
data compaction option will usually result
in an increase in both capacity and data
transfer rate. The typical compaction ratio
is 2:1, but is dependent on the type of
data. Yes in the Data Compaction column
means that the associated media type and
format supports data compaction. Use the
COMPACT parameter of the OS/400(R) SAVE
command to select the data compaction option,
except for those cases identified by Yes*.
Yes* indicates that the compaction option
is controlled entirely by the format (density)
that is selected during the tape initialization
operation. The COMPACT parameter of the
SAVE command has no effect in these cases.
-----QIC2DC is a compaction format (density)
for the DC9250 and DC9200 media type.
-----QIC4DC is a compaction format (density)
for the SLR5-4 GB media type.
4. Cartridge capacities and
data transfer rates shown are for noncompacted
data, except for the QIC4DC and QIC2DC cases.
For the QIC4DC and QIC2DC formats (densities),
the capacities and the data transfer rates
shown assume a typical 2:1 data compaction.
See Note 2.
****If the quarter-inch
cartridge (QIC) format and the tape cartridge
are not compatible, an error is message
displayed. Errors that can occur are as
follows:
---While selecting a QIC format that cannot
be written on the tape. For example, inserting
a DC6150 tape cartridge and specifying a
QIC1000 format.
---While attempting to process a high-density
tape cartridge in a low-density tape unit.
For example, you try to process an SLR5-4
GB cartridge in a 6381 tape unit.
---While attempting to add a file and selecting
a QIC format different from the format previously
recorded on the tape. For example, inserting
a tape cartridge recorded in QIC525 format
and specifying a QIC120 format.
