Page 39: Chapter 2. Introduction
Chapter 2. Introduction 3592 introduction The IBM 3592 tape drives provide high capacity, performance, reliability, and a wide range of host connectivity by using Fibre Channel technology. Table 7 on page 19 provides a summary of drive functions and capabilities.
Page 40: Ras Characteristics
Supported in stand-alone rack installations Each 3592 drive canister is a single FRU. After the drive is varied offline to the host, each drive canister can be removed and replaced with power ON (hot-pluggable), with minimal impact to customer operations. Power to the drive canisters is supplied by two redundant DC power supplies. If one power supply fails, another provides shared power until the failed supply is replaced.
Page 41: Reliability
Reliability • Fewer cables because of integral canister plug-in enclosure • Reliable, brushless motors • Continuous channel calibration for improved data integrity • Durable cartridge loader design • Drive canister is a single FRU • No pneumatics • Reliable electronics because of one card versus multiple cards •...
Page 42: Maintenance Strategy
If the host system does not support SIMs and MIMs, sense data is available if the subsystem is able to present it. In addition, the FID is displayed on the 3592 operator message display and service panel, and it is placed into the drive error log.
Page 43: Federal Information Processing Standards (Fips)
The SIM and MIM functions were developed to improve 3592 product serviceability. See “Service and Media Information messages (SIMs and MIMs)” on page 39 and “Statistical Analysis and Reporting System (SARS)” on page 43 for details. Another accommodation of the 3592 is the ability to use the TapeAlert industry standard.
Page 44: Device Characteristics
The 3592 drive can be direct-attached to various host systems by one or two Fibre Channel ports . The 3592 tape drive support also is available for AIX, UNIX, or numerous other hosts with one or both ports of the Fibre Channel.

• Figure 1 on page 26 provides an illustration of a 3592 data cartridge. • Table 13 on page 26 provides descriptions of the 3592 data cartridge types, with the actual identifier (JC, JD, JE, JK, JL, JM, JV, JY, or JZ).
Page 47: Cartridge Capacity Scaling
Some records retention and data security applications require the write-once read-many (WORM) function of tape data storage. This WORM function is accomplished on the 3592 by a combination of microcode controls in the drive, and a special WORM tape cartridge.
Page 48: Tape Drive
Tape drive The 3592 tape drive is housed in a canister. The two components are assembled into a single FRU called a drive canister. The drive canister is installed in a rack enclosure that can house two canisters. The enclosure includes redundant DC power supplies and appropriate cables and cards that provide power and signals to the drives.

Page 53: Power Distribution Diagram
AC LED: ON - good, OFF - fault ! LED: OFF - good, ON - fault Power in the 3592 is supplied by a redundant pair of power supplies . The AC power cord each supply is plugged into the AC power distribution unit of the rack into which the 3592 is mounted.
Page 54: Power Switch And Power Sequence
The power supply is packaged in a metal housing for structural and safety purposes. The power supply converts AC input to +12 V DC and +5 V DC, and provides DC power to the 3592 through a separate (removable) cable that connects to the drive canister FRU.
Page 55: Redundant Power
During an initial microprogram load (IML), a microcode image that permits the subsystem to become functional is loaded into the RAM. Anytime the unit is initially powered ON, the 3592 attempts to complete an IML from nonvolatile storage. Power sequencing When power is applied, internal diagnostic tests check the voltages.
Page 56: Cleaning Cartridge
Cleaning cartridge Use the 3592 cleaning cartridge only in a 3592 drive to clean the head guide assembly. See the attention notices in “Cleaning the operator bezel” on page 193, and refer to the 3592 Drive Operator Guide for drive cleaning and cleaning cartridge information.

Cartridge manual-rewinding tool Leader pins and C-clips (Not shown) Instructions (refer to the 3592 Operator Guide) Note: Replacing the leader pin is used only as a temporary measure to retrieve the data from the tape; it is not a permanent fix.
Page 58: Esd Kit
Use only IBM tape unit cleaner (P/N 05H3929) to clean the 3592 tape cartridge and the drive bezel. Since the IBM tape unit cleaner might not be available in your area, consider the use of tap water as a cleaning agent.

Complete this inspection before the normal inspection for a maintenance agreement. Suspect that the 3592 is unsafe until you verify that it is safe. If any unsafe conditions are present, decide how serious the hazard is and whether you can continue without first correcting the problem. Possible safety hazards are - Electrical An electrically charged frame can cause serious or lethal electrical shock.

Powering the device ON and OFF Although there are no power ON/OFF switches on the 3592 drive canister or on the power supplies, you must use the following procedure sparingly. Because the drive canister and the power supplies are all single FRUs and are hot-pluggable, they do not require power ON/OFF switches for you to complete service activities.

Figure 64 on page 184). Note: Wait at least 5 seconds after power is removed from the 3592 tape drive before power is restored. The power-on self-test (POST) runs when power is applied to the drive canister. This POST takes less than 1 minute to complete.
Page 205: End Of Call
If the Operator messages do not follow this described sequence, or if an FID message appears on the display, the POST test failed. Go to “Maintenance starting point” on page 1 and isolate the failure. Communications with the interface are not acknowledged during the POST.

See Figure 79 on page 251 for FRU location 82. Use Figure 80 on page 252 as you follow this procedure. All 3592 dc power supplies are hot-pluggable. To minimize the impact on customer operations, one dc power supply can be unplugged and removed while the remaining power supply continues to provide dc power to both 3592 drives in the enclosure.
Page 273: Drive Canister Connectors
Notes: • The 3592 drive canisters are hot-pluggable. To minimize the impact on the customer's operation, one of the drive canisters can be unplugged and removed while power is still supplied to the remaining drive in the enclosure. • Avoid touching the bezel while this procedure is completed. Contaminants from your fingers can affect performance of the library accessor.
