TKZ62/63 Tape drive family A range of options for IBM media compatibility and data interchange or backup via a SCSI interface Using IBM 3480/3490/3490E compatible half-inch tape formats, the TKZ6x tape drive family has proven to be an effective way to maintain your IBM-compatible storage capabilities or add IBM-tape compatible media to your operation. The TKZ6x tape drive family provides fast, dependable data interchange and/or unattended backup for IBM(R) 3480/3490/3490E users. With the SCSI-2 interface, connectivity is available on most Compaq CPUs and SCSI adapters, thereby allowing customers to maintain their IBM tape format across their entire enterprise. The TKZ6x tape drive family provides a 10-cartridge loader, and a single loading drive in a 18/36-track IBM 3480/3490/3490E compatible format. Benefits o Enables you to maintain the same IBM tape format across your entire enterprise - not just in the datacenter o Provides a range of variants from manual loaded drives for sporadic data interchange needs to a 10-cartridge loader version for large unattended backups o Fast SCSI selectability allows maximum performance on systems supporting Fast SCSI o Compact size and low power consumption minimizes the valuable floor space required, decreases maintenance costs, and reduces cooling costs compared to TA9x series drives o Tabletop and pedestal versions provide quiet operation ideal for office environments o The differential SCSI variants allows placement of the tape drives at a considerable distance from the CPU Highlights o The TKZ6x tape drive family is available in a variety of models in either desktop, pedestal or flush-mounted cabinet configurations including the StorageWorks(TM) SW500 and SW800 datacenter cabinet o The TKZ62/63 drives provide complete data interchange coverage with its read/write compatibility in both 18-track and 36-track formats o With OpenVMS(TM) VAX, OpenVMS Alpha, Alpha Windows NT(TM)*, and Tru64 operating system support, the TKZ6x tape drive family is ideal for open, client/server environments o All TKZ6x family drives-except the FWD SCSI variants-are field configurable between single-ended and differential SCSI o All TKZ6x family drives have IBM IDRC compatible data compression capability o All TKZ6x family drives have an autoranging power supply o FWD SCSI variants provide even faster data transfer rates o Windows NT support requires optional QB-4STAA-SA software or QB4STAB-SA TKZ62 series: 18- and 36-track format The TKZ62 series drives read and write 18-track format on common 540-ft and 600-ft half inch tape cartridges. Please note that it is not possible to do write appends to an 18-track tape cartridge already containing data. The TKZ62 series can also read and write 36-track format on the 1,100-foot thin-tape cartridge used by the Compaq TA92, IBM, and IBM-compatible 3490E tape drives. This ability of a 36-track drive to read and write 18-track format is unique in the industry. The TKZ62 series is available only as a 10-cartridge loader in either tabletop, pedestal, or rackmount configurations. TKZ63 series Like the TKZ62 drive, the TKZ63 series can read and write 18- and 36-track format tape but does not have the 10-cartridge loader mechanism. Thus, the TKZ63 is a manual load, single-cartridge drive. The TKZ63 is available as a tabletop unit. With an optional rackmount kit, the TKZ63 tabletop unit can be cabinet mounted.

Custom capabilities to enhance your information systems environment Build up, not out with rackmount systems Rackmount systems pack more compute power and storage capacity per square foot of floor space than conventional deskside or cabinet models. But it's rackmounting's configuration flexibility that can really make a difference in meeting your needs. Using a building- block approach, you can configure the optimum system to meet its goals with both Compaq and third-party components. At the same time, there's built-in flexibility to upgrade configurations as needs change. Rapid deployment, reliable systems with VIS Once you've made an acquisition decision, you don't want to wait forever to deploy the solution, or disrupt operations as you bring it online. Compaq CustomSystems has the answer with its Value-added Implementation Services (VIS). VIS provides dedicated factory integration, mission-critical delivery and installation, and custom configuration documentation capabilities unique in the industry.
