#2624 STORAGE DEVICE CONTROLLER
(#2624) Storage Device Controller
(Only available as REFURBISHED as of December 28, 2001)
#2624 is an IOP capable of controlling up to three internal SCSI tape or CD-ROM devices and one diskette device with the addition of #6146. #2624 will be specified when diskette or CD-ROM is required on the migration side of his system. #2624 will not be specified for controlling tape; however, an installed #2624 or a #2624 specified to support the addition of diskette or CD-ROM can also be used to control supported tape devices. When tape devices are selected, the configurator will specify #6513 unless a #2624 already exists or has been specified for diskette or CD-ROM.
When controlling internal tape or CD-ROM the #2624 must be placed into slot three of the #5072/#5073 or slot four of the 5077, Migration Tower II.
The #2624 can not be used to support tape or CD-ROM in the 503X Migration Tower I or #5064/#9364 System Unit Expansion because the #2624 does not support device concurrent maintenance. When controlling external diskette, #2624 can be placed into slots three through ten of the #5072/#5073 or any slot in the #5064/#9364, System Unit Expansion with #9331.
When #2624 is used to control diskettes only, it is not considered a high-workload IOP.
SPD I/O card slots required: One.
