Chapter 2. A14, C10, and C14 Control Unit Operator Panel The operator panel, shown in Figure 1, provides a means for the customer to either power on or power off the 3590 A00, A50, or A60 Subsystem. In addition, it provides power status feedback, whether or not errors are present on the A00, A50, or A60 control unit. The following information describes the operator panel switches and indicators: Figure 1. A14, C10, and C14 Operator Panel © Copyright IBM Corp.
The following lists the components of the operator panel: 1. 1 Unit Emergency Switch v With the unit emergency power off (EPO) switch in the up position, it is turned “on” and the AC power is applied to the entire subsystem. v With the EPO switch in the down position, it is turned “off” and all power is removed from the subsystem. 2. 2 System Power Switch v In the upward position, a power on sequence will initiate. v In the downward position, a power off sequence will initiate. 3.
Chapter 3. Drive Operator Panel and Controls Operator Panel Display The operator panel provides a menu-driven operator and service interface through a liquid crystal display assembly. Displays include operator menus and service menus, device status, activities, error conditions, and data. See Table 1 for panel displayed characters. Table 1. Message-Display Symbols Characters Symbols Alphabetic A through Z Numeric 0123456789 National “@ $ #” Special “, .
specifies the SCSI ID for that interface. (0 through 9 and A through F correspond with bits 0 through 15 on the SCSI 2-byte wide interface.) Each Fibre Channel ID consists of six hexidecimal characters that specify the Fibre ID for that interface. At each power-on, this address is retrieved from nonvolatile storage. The online and offline selections control determines whether or not the device is logically enabled to communicate on the interface. Use “Services Menu” on page 33 to access this function.
Figure 2. Operator Panel From left to right in Figure 2, the push buttons and the indicator are as follows: Reset 1 A push button that allows the service representative to perform a device power-on reset. Note: It is recommended that all SCSI ports be taken offline before resetting the drive. See “Services Menu” on page 33. Change Mode 2 A push button that allows the service representative to toggle between service representative mode and Normal mode.
Enter 5 A push button that allows the operator or the service representative to select the menu option at the location of the cursor arrow. Processor Check 6 An indicator LED that switches on for 10 to 20 seconds during a normal power-on or a power-on reset. If no fault is detected, the LED switches off. If the LED remains on, the 3590 requires service.
Table 2 identifies the various drive type indicators 2 of Figure 3 and Table 3 describes the panel areas it illustrates. Figure 3. Options and Status Screen Table 2.
Table 3. Options and Status Area ACF Mode 1 Description Displays as manual, automatic, system, accumulate, or random when the ACF is installed. When the operator changes modes, any current ACF operation (cartridges in transit) are completed before the request is granted. Drive Type 2 Table 2 provides the history of drive type indicators. v Cleaning: A cleaning cartridge is in the device.
Table 3. Options and Status (continued) Area Description Messages: v Area 4 and 5 is a dual-use area that can be used for prompts and messages. – SCSI messages include: PORT0 ADDR=n ONLINE or OFFLINE . PORT1 ADDR=n ONLINE or OFFLINE . (‘n’ can be in the range 0–F.) For SCSI port 0 or 1 (PORT0 or PORT1), the last assigned SCSI address (ADDR=n) is listed with each port’s online or offline status (ONLINE or OFFLINE ).
Note: The 3590 tape drives that are capable to receive the Extended High Performance Cartridge Tape are labeled 2x on the back of drive chassis. For B Model drives, the 2x label is placed below the serial number label. For Ultra and E Model drives, the 2x label is located below the respective Ultra and E labels which, in turn, are located below the serial number label. See Figure 4 for an illustration of the tape-icon label. The 2x information is available in Table 3 on page 10. Figure 4.
Fiducials Figure 5. Library Locating Fiducials Figure 5 shows a B1A or E1A with a single fiducial 1 . The fiducial is used by cartridge-handling devices to locate and remember where the tape subsystem device is installed. Do not cover or change the fiducial. Drive Power The power switch is located on the back of each device. This toggle switch controls the distribution of ac power to the associated device.
Processor Check Indicator The processor check indicator indicates that the model-unique Licensed Internal Code is not following its normal sequence. A symbol that looks like a wrench identifies the Processor Check indicator on the operator panel. See Figure 2 on page 7 definitions for more details. File Protected Icons The status icons area of the operator panel displays the file-protected icons (see Figure 3 on page 9).
relative to the beginning and end-of-volume. If the device is rewinding, the tape-position indicator illustrates the beginning and end-of-tape. Logically shortened tape is displayed normally, but the rate of change is faster than normal length tapes. Dump Icon The status area of the operator panel displays the dump icon, (see Figure 3 on page 9). The dump icon appears when a trace is available and remains on the screen to indicate that the 3590 stores the trace data.
Intervention Messages The intervention screen displays intervention messages on the operator panel. The intervention screen consists of an 8-character intervention message that is displayed in a large font and a prompt. The prompt indicates that pressing Enter allows access to the Options menu. The screen also has device status information and a 2-line message area in the standard font. A drive type is displayed (see Table 2 on page 9).

v Stored: A Mount message is stored when a cartridge is unloading and a Demount message is displayed. v Displayed: A stored Mount message is displayed when the previous Demount message is deleted. Previous Demount messages are deleted when the accessor removes a cartridge from the loader. v Deletion: The device removes a Mount message from the display when it initiates a cartridge load. When the device transitions to the Ready state (stored or displayed message), it deletes the Mount message.
mount portion of the demount/mount message is displayed. For a loaded cartridge, the demount portion of the message is deleted when the accessor removes a cartridge from the loader. A message control of “100” (alternate message) will cause the demount and mount messages to alternate as long as a cartridge is loaded. Demount is deleted when a cartridge is unloaded. Routine Messages—General (Custom): v Creation: A General message is created when a Display Message is received that requests a General message.
FID 2: v Creation: A FID 2 message is created when the device microcode detects a permanent failure of a serious nature that puts the device in a degraded state. The drive can still be used, but it is in a less available state. If a subsequent FID 2 message is generated, it replaces any earlier FID 2 messages. v Stored: A FID 2 message is stored and overlaid when a higher priority message is displayed. v Displayed: A FID 2 message is displayed when it is not overlaid by a higher priority message.

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. Figure 13. 3590 ACF and Magazine The following lists the ACF components: 1 Operator Panel 2 Priority Cell 3 Magazine 4 Machine Side of Magazine 5 Magazine Cartridge Lock 6 Magazine Door 7 Lock Button © Copyright IBM Corp.
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. Cartridges are contained in both a magazine, and in a single priority cell (see item 2 ) which has a capacity of one cartridge. The ACF is attached to the tape subsystem mechanism.
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 from either side of the magazine before it is installed in the 3590. All cartridges must be loaded with the label side up and the leader block towards the machine side of the magazine. When the drive ejects a cartridge, in all modes except Random mode, a cartridge is placed in the export position.
ACF Magazine Cartridge Magazine Positions Figure 14 shows a partially loaded magazine. The magazine (see item 1 ) includes two cartridge positions. 1 6 2 5 4 3 A14U0003 7 Figure 14. Left View of the 3590 Magazine Cartridge Positions The following lists the Magazine Cartridge positions: 1 3 5 7 Magazine Magazine Door Import Position Label Positioning 2 Cartridges 4 Cartridge Lock 6 Export Position Notes: 1.
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. The export position protrudes from the magazine body (away from the ACF). Magazine Weight The ACF magazine, 3M part 78-A068-2883-2, weighs 0.68 Kg (1.5 lbs) and each cartridge weighs 0.23 Kg (0.5 lbs).
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 front left side of the magazine when viewed from the front. A hand-operated slider is located in the middle of the magazine frame. The two positions for the magazine lock are as follows: Unlocked The slider is towards the front of the magazine to enable insertion and removal of the cartridge from the magazine.
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 . 3. Pivot the magazine top towards the ACF, until the magazine is flush with the front of the ACF. 4. Push the magazine handle into the ACF lockbar to secure the magazine in the ACF.
Automatic Cartridges that are put into the magazine are automatically fed into the drive loader one after another until the entire magazine is processed. System Cartridges that are put into the magazine are fed to the drive loader one after another under the attaching system’s command. This continues until the entire magazine is processed. Note: Not all hosts support System mode. Random and Random 2-LUN Operates as a small library. All cartridge moves are made under the attaching system’s commands.
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. 9.
– 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. It then verifies that at least one cartridge is in the import position of the magazine.
magazine cell. This allows the operator to insert specific cartridges into the priority cell. The magazine accumulates processed cartridges for pickup by the operator. When the ACF is in Accumulate mode, the following applies (see also “ACF Notes” on page 56): v Initial conditions – Accumulate mode must be selected from the SET ACF MODE menu. – We recommend that, initially, the magazine be empty, even though this is not a required condition.
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. After enabling the ACF, it automatically feeds cartridges to the device until all the cartridges in the magazines are processed.
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 from the cell to the device. 2. If the ACF is disabled and in Automatic mode and a cartridge is placed in the import position of the priority cell, the ACF is enabled. It then loads the cartridge in the device, and sets the cell-status indicator LED to in-use (steady green) for the priority cell.
– The ACF is initialized so the top cell of the magazine is considered the current cell location. v Enabling conditions: Two ways to enable System mode follow: – Select Start ACF on the operator panel if there is a loadable cartridge in the magazine. – Insert a cartridge in the import position of the priority cell. v Disabling conditions: The ACF becomes disabled in System mode as follows: – A magazine or priority cartridge is processed and returned to its original cell.
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. Control of the source and destination cells are left entirely to the attaching host. Random 2-LUN mode behaves the same as Random mode. The 2-LUN allows software to control the ACF in a different manner.
– 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 Disabling conditions: The ACF is disabled in Random mode if one of the following conditions are met: – The magazine is removed from the ACF. – The magazine is unlocked.
v “Cell Status: Steady Green–In-Use Indicator LED” on page 66. Cell Status: Flashing Yellow–Attention indicator LED The device requires operator assistance. Table 26 describes the Attention condition. There will be a corresponding operator panel ATTN ACF message in the case where the LEDs indicate attention. Table 26.
Cell Status: Steady Yellow–Alert Conditions This condition does not immediately preclude machine operation, but may, unless the condition is cleared soon. Table 27 describes the Alert condition: Table 27. Cell Status Indicator LEDs Steady Yellow–Alert Conditions Indicator LED State Description of the Condition Accumulate, Automatic, Manual, or System modes only–Magazine Not Installed or is locked. LEDs return to normal when condition is cleared.
Chapter 5. Cleaning Procedures Clean the tape path and the cartridges. This prevents errors that are caused by dirt. A cleaning cartridge is shipped with the first B1A and B11 in each installation. Replace the cleaning cartridge after 100 uses. You can keep track of the usage number by marking the label provided with each cartridge. Note: The 3590 cleaning cartridge, IBM part 05H4435, or equivalent, is for use only in a 3590 tape subsystem. Properly label all cleaner cartridges for their intended use.
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 gray plastic inserts 2 identifier notches 3 leader block 4 finger notch Cleaning the Tape Path The drive will display a *CLEAN message and display a CLEAN ICON after processing a predetermined amount of tape, or when reaching certain conditions.
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 Notification Two types of cleaning notification are available: v Operator Panel Cleaning Notification v SCSI interface cleaning notification The sections that follow describe each type of notification.
Cleaning the Tape 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. Especially wipe the sides of the cartridge, with a lint-free cloth (IBM part 2108930). Lightly moisten the cloth with IBM Tape Unit Cleaner, 05H3929. For cleaning magazines, see “Cleaning the Magazine” on page 71.
Cleaning the Magazine The High Performance Cartridge Tape and Extended High Performance Cartridge Tape subsystems are highly refined mechanical devices. To maintain the maximum performance, the operator should take time to inspect and clean the magazine and the cartridges. Damaged or dirty magazines or cartridges can reduce subsystem reliability and cause the loss of recorded data. Monitor the conditions of all magazines and cartridges for contaminants.

Chapter 6. Identifying Subsystem Problems This chapter identifies some of the problems that can occur with the Subsystem. Unable to Insert a Tape Cartridge If you cannot insert a tape cartridge in the drive, perform the following steps: 1. Inspect the tape cartridge for damage. See “Damaged Cartridges” on page 87. 2. Try to load another cartridge in the tape subsystem. If the new cartridge can be inserted in the drive, the original cartridge may be defective. Inspect the cartridge for damage.
3. If the drive does not become ready, and no messages are displayed, call your service representative. If a FID or ATTN message appears on the message display, record the code message and see “FID or ATTN on the Message Display” on page 73. Leader Block Detaches from the Tape Figure 18 shows a cartridge with a detached leader block. Figure 18.
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. After you repair the leader block and recover the data, do not use the cartridge again. SCSI Bus Problems See “SCSI Bus” on page 105. Fibre Channel Problems See “Fibre Channel” on page 109.
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 problem before you proceed to the next step. 2. To turn on the main power supply, if the main service power to the subsystem is not on, follow the operating procedures for your host system. 3. If the message display is blank after this procedure, call your service representative. Tape/Drive Read or Write Problems See “Appendix A.
ACF Recovery Procedure ACFs with flashing attention indicator LEDs, or ACFs with continuous attention indicator LEDs that are not flashing, use the recovery procedures that are listed below. Perform the recovery procedure that is appropriate for your loader’s condition. Attention Indicator LED Flashes If the attention indicator LED flashes, do the following: 1. Remove the cartridge from the feed position (if present). 2. Add cartridges to the magazine if the loader is in Auto or System mode. 3.
ATTN message appears on the message display, record the error code and report it to your service representative.
Chapter 7. 3590 High Performance Cartridge Tape and Extended High Performance Cartridge Tape The 3590 tape drive has a bidirectional read/write head with a recording format of 256 tracks for Exx models and 128 tracks for Bxx models. Both series of models concurrently processes 16 tracks per group. The bidirectional head writes 16 tracks from the load point to the physical end of tape. It then writes 16 tracks from the physical end of tape back to the load point.

This is for illustration purposes only.
The tape cartridges have blue insert identification notches for High Performance Cartridge Tape and green notches for Extended High Performance Cartridge Tape. The leader block assembly is blue for High Performance Cartridge Tape and green for Extended High Performance Cartridge Tape. The 3590 cleaning cartridge has gray insert identification notches and a gray leader block assembly. The IBM 3590 High Performance Cartridge Tape is not compatible with 3480, 3490, or 3490E drives.
Tape Handling and Storage Advantages Magnetic tape storage and handling costs can be decreased when tape data capacity increases. Table 30 illustrates that the cartridge storage capacity of a 3490 subsystem is contrasted with available capacity improvements. As the compression ratio depends on dataset characteristics and the operating environment, three typical compression ratios (1:1, 2:1, and 3:1) are listed.
Table 30.

Chapter 8. Cartridge Care and Handling This chapter describes the care and handling of the IBM 3590 High Performance Cartridge Tape and Extended High Performance Cartridge Tape. Unpacking the Cartridges Unpack and inspect each cartridge to ensure that the leader block is correctly latched. If not, push the leader block toward the cartridge until it catches in the latch. Before you use the cartridges, condition them, for at least 24 hours, to the normal operating environment.
v Do not expose the tape cartridge to moisture or direct sunlight. v Do not expose recorded 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 recorded data or make the blank cartridge unusable. Note: Do not attempt to degauss or ac bulk erase a tape cartridge. Degaussing makes the tape cartridge unusable.
There are 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 Figure 20 on page 86. Place the labels in the recessed cartridge label areas only. Labels that extend outside of the recess areas can cause loading problems in the drive, particularly when using the automatic cartridge facility.
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 representative. (IBM charges the customer for the time and materials that are used during the service call.) See Figure 21 to identify the parts of a cartridge that may become damaged. Figure 21. Cartridge Parts. The leader block 3 is shown unlatched with a length of tape 4 extending from the cartridge 1 for illustration purposes only.
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 reattached to the cartridge reel (not shown) by the service representative. This repair is temporary and permits the cartridge to be loaded one time. This allows the data to be copied to a replacement cartridge. v The file-protect selector (see item 5 ) is damaged. v The braking mechanism (not shown) is jammed or broken. v The cartridge has other obvious damage.
Leader Block Replacement Figure 22 illustrates the replacement procedure. Figure 22. Leader Block Replacement Procedure The following lists the components required to replace the leader block: 1 3 5 7 9 Leader Block Clutch Tool Attachment Tool Cavity Attachment Tool Insertion Lever 2 4 6 8 Cartridge Guide Guide Groove Insert Pin Perform the following steps to replace the leader block when it has separated from the magnetic tape.
1. The replacement leader block must be an exact replacement for either the High Performance Cartridge Tape or the Extended High Performance Cartridge Tape. See Figure 19 on page 79. 2. Use care in aligning the tape leader, the insert, and the leader block to ensure proper loading of the repaired cartridge. 3. Never pull on the tape without using the brake release tool that is contained in the kit. Pulling on the tape with the brake engaged may damage the tape or brake mechanism in the cartridge.
Note: Use care to ensure that the tape is centered over the leader block. When the tape is centered over the leader block, there 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 properly center the leader block on the tape will cause the repaired cartridge to fail. 7. Carefully close the insert guide 4 , and then place the insert pin 8 into the opening of the guide.
Leader Block Inspection A1400214 See Figure 23 to inspect the tape in the leader block. Figure 23.

Appendix A. Media/Hardware Problem Isolation An error code (FID FE) will be generated when the drive experiences an error and cannot determine if the error was caused by the tape cartridge or by a problem in the drive hardware. The FID FE is not displayed on the drive, but is logged in the sense information that is returned to the host system. Follow this procedure if you receive an error when reading or writing to the drive and there is no FID displayed.
Note: A repaired cartridge may be used long enough to recover data on that cartridge. When the data has been recovered, the cartridge should then be taken out of service and discarded or returned to the plant of origin. – If the cartridges look OK, and you have access to another 3590, try the operation with the suspect cartridges in another 3590. If your cartridges fail in the other 3590, replace the media. v Determine if the drive is bad. – Try a new tape on the suspect drive.
Appendix B. FID Messages Table 34 describes FID messages and customer action for the FID. A FID can be displayed on the drive panel or obtained from host software or error logs. See “Intervention Messages” on page 16 for an example of a FID on the drive panel. Table 34.

Appendix C. Problem Determination SCSI Bus Devices on the SCSI bus must be varied off-line before the problem determination procedure can be performed. Due to the 3590 Ultra/Wide device speed, SCSI time-outs may occur to other peripherals if it is placed on a shared SCSI bus with multiple peripherals. To prevent this, both the Host Adapter SCSI address, and the 3590 Ultra SCSI address should be lower (0 or 1) then the SCSI addresses of the peripherals (E or F).

Appendix D. Host Reporting Statistical Analysis and Reporting System The Statistical Analysis and Reporting System (SARS) assists in determining whether read and write errors are caused by the media (tape) or the hardware in the drive. The 3590 microcode contains a Volume SARS (VSARS) algorithm and a Hardware SARS (HSARS) algorithm to analyze errors. SARS algorithms report messages through SIMs and MIMs. Algorithms are executed in the 3590 just before a tape is unloaded.
You can select, depending on your software, the severities you wish to see. For example, you may only want to see the acute SIM/MIM, or prefer to see all SIMs and MIMs sent to the host. SIM/MIM filtering by severity can be done through configuration options. The four severity codes are listed below: v Severity 0 (FID4) code means the device requires service, but normal drive function is not affected. v Severity 1 (FID3) code means the problem is moderate.
