Chapter 4. Automatic Cartridge Facility (ACF) and Magazine This chapter describes the Automatic Cartridge Facility (ACF) and the magazine. ACF Description Figure 13 shows the Automatic Cartridge Facility with a loaded magazine.
8 Magazine LEDs 9 Handle 10 Operator Side of Magazine Note: The operator panel (see item 1 ) is located on top of the front bezel above the ACF . It is moveable for easier viewing by the operator . The ACF holds a total of 10 cartridges.
Notes: 1. A sensing device detects any cartridges positioned beyond the import position and prevents operation of the cartridge transport. 2. Cartridges can be loaded or unloaded from the magazine fr om either side of the magazine before it is installed in the 3590.
ACF Magazine Cartridge Magazine Positions Figure 14 shows a partially loaded magazine. The magazine (see item 1 ) includes two cartridge positions.
Import Position The cartridge is inserted into the magazine (see item 5 ) until it comes to the second detent position towards the ACF . Export Position The cartridge is inserted into the magazine (see item 6 ) until it comes to the first detent position.
ACF Door and Lock Function The magazine has a door ( 3 in Figure 14 on page 52) that extends along the entire length of the magazine. The door is located at the fr ont left side of the magazine when viewed from the fr ont. A hand-operated slider is located in the middle of the magazine frame.
Inserting the Magazine in the 3590 1. One hand holds the handle. The other hand holds the body of the magazine at a 45 ° angle. 2. Insert the lower front of the magazine into the ACF as shown in Figure 15 on page 54 so that the front of the magazine is inside the ACF lip 1 .
Automatic Cartridges that are put into the magazine ar e automatically fed into the drive loader one after another until the entire magazine is processed. System Cartridges that are put into the magazine ar e fed to the drive loader one after another under the attaching system ’ s command.
8. If the ACF is instructed to unload a cartridge to an uninstalled magazine, the ACF tries to unload the cartridge to the priority cell. (See Note 9.) The cell-status indicator LED is set to alert (solid yellow) for the priority cell.
– An attention condition is detected in the ACF; for example, an extra cartridge condition. – The magazine is not installed; choosing Start causes the ACF to return to the disabled state. v Operation 1. If the ACF is disabled and in Manual mode, and the operator chooses Start on the operator panel, the ACF becomes enabled.
magazine cell. This allows the operator to insert specific cartridges into the priority cell. The magazine accumulates processed cartridges for pickup by the operator .
into the priority cell again, if possible. The priority cell cell-status indicator LED is then set to alert (steady yellow). See step 9 on page 57 if the priority cell is also full. Automatic Mode Automatic mode provides the operator a mechanism to keep the drive continually fed with cartridges from the magazine.
so, the ACF indexes down the magazine until it finds the first cell with a cartridge in the import position. The ACF sets the cell-status indicator LED for that cell to in-use (steady green) and moves the cartridge fr om the cell to the device.
– The ACF is initialized so the top cell of the magazine is considered the current cell location. v Enabling conditions: T wo ways to enable System mode follow: – Select Start ACF on the operator panel if there is a loadable cartridge in the magazine.
Random and Random 2-LUN Modes Random mode is designed to act as a small, self-contained library of up to 10 cartridges, controlled by the attaching host. The attaching host uses the SCSI Medium Mover commands to select a cartridge from a given cell and move it to its destination cell.
– Random mode must be selected from the SET ACF MODE menu. v Enabling conditions: Random mode is enabled if all the following conditions are met: – The magazine is installed in the ACF . – The magazine lock is in the locked state. – A valid Move Medium command is received.
v “ Cell Status: Steady Green – In-Use Indicator LED ” on page 66. Cell Status: Flashing Y ellow – Attention indicator LED The device requir es operator assistance. T able 26 describes the Attention condition. There will be a corr esponding operator panel A TTN ACF message in the case where the LEDs indicate attention.
Cell Status: Steady Y ellow – Alert Conditions This condition does not immediately preclude machine operation, but may , unless the condition is cleared soon.
Chapter 5. Cleaning Procedures Clean the tape path and the cartridges. This prevents err ors that are caused by dirt. A cleaning cartridge is shipped with the first B1A and B1 1 in each installation. Replace the cleaning cartridge after 100 uses. Y ou can keep track of the usage number by marking the label provided with each cartridge.
Attention: Do not use a china-marking (grease) pencil on the label. Insert only clean and undamaged cleaning cartridges into a tape subsystem. Cleaning cartridge components from the bottom view: 1.
automatically cleans, when a *CLEAN message is displayed, load a cleaning cartridge in the drive. The cleaning cartridge will complete its cycle and then unload.
Cleaning the T ape Cartridge Before you insert a cartridge into a drive or a magazine, inspect the cartridge for damage or dirt. Damaged or dirty cartridges can reduce subsystem reliability and cause the loss of recorded data. If dirt appears on the cartridge, wipe the outside surfaces.
Cleaning the Magazine The High Performance Cartridge T ape and Extended High Performance Cartridge T ape subsystems are highly refined mechanical devices. T o maintain the maximum performance, the operator should take time to inspect and clean the magazine and the cartridges.

Chapter 6. Identifying Subsystem Problems This chapter identifies some of the problems that can occur with the Subsystem. Unable to Insert a T ape Cartridge If you cannot insert a tape cartridge in the drive, perform the following steps: 1. Inspect the tape cartridge for damage.
3. If the drive does not become ready , and no messages are displayed, call your service repr esentative. If a FID or A TTN message appears on the message display , recor d the code message and see “ FID or A TTN on the Message Display ” on page 73.
Replacement of the leader block is a temporary repair . It allows the operator to insert the cartridge, with the file-protect selector (see item 3 ) set to the file-protect position, once. This, in turn, allows the data to be copied to a new cartridge.
Message Display is Blank If the message display is blank, perform the following steps: 1. If power is not supplied to the rack or device, correct the pr oblem before you proceed to the next step. 2. T o turn on the main power supply , if the main service power to the subsystem is not on, follow the operating procedur es for your host system.
ACF Recovery Procedure ACFs with flashing attention indicator LEDs, or ACFs with continuous attention indicator LEDs that are not flashing, use the r ecovery procedur es that are listed below . Perform the recovery pr ocedure that is appropriate for your loader ’ s condition.
A TTN message appears on the message display , r ecord the err or code and report it to your service r epresentative. 78 3590 Operator Guide.

Chapter 8. Cartridge Care and Handling This chapter describes the care and handling of the IBM 3590 High Performance Cartridge T ape and Extended High Performance Cartridge T ape. Unpacking the Cartridges Unpack and inspect each cartridge to ensure that the leader block is corr ectly latched.
v Do not expose the tape cartridge to moisture or dir ect sunlight. v Do not expose recor ded or blank cartridges to stray magnetic fields greater than 100 oersteds (such as those existing near high-current cables or power supplies). Such exposure can cause the loss of r ecorded data or make the blank cartridge unusable.
There ar e two kinds of cartridge labels: A customer label and either a volume or a serial number label. Attach the customer label to the top surface of the cartridge. Then, attach the volume or serial number label to the side opposite the file-protect selector as shown in Figur e 20 on page 86.
v Do not load a damaged cartridge into a tape subsystem . During an emergency , if you need to recover data from a damaged cartridge, call your service repr esentative. (IBM charges the customer for the time and materials that are used during the service call.
v The tape (see item 4 ) was wound completely out of the cartridge (see item 1 ) onto the machine reel (not shown). It was then r eattached to the cartridge reel (not shown) by the service r epresentative. This r epair is temporary and permits the cartridge to be loaded one time.
Leader Block Replacement Figure 22 illustrates the replacement procedur e. The following lists the components requir ed to replace the leader block: 1 Leader Block 2 Cartridge 3 Clut.
1. The replacement leader block must be an exact r eplacement for either the High Performance Cartridge T ape or the Extended High Performance Cartridge T ape. See Figure 19 on page 79. 2. Use care in aligning the tape leader , the insert, and the leader block to ensure pr oper loading of the repair ed cartridge.
Note: Use care to ensur e that the tape is centered over the leader block. When the tape is centered over the leader block, ther e will be a 1.9 mm (0.075 inch) gap on both sides of the leader block. See Figure 23 on page 93. Failure to pr operly center the leader block on the tape will cause the repair ed cartridge to fail.
Leader Block Inspection See Figure 23 to inspect the tape in the leader block. The following lists the components requir ed for installation of the leader block: 1 Incorrectly Installed T ape on.
