I IBM 2400-Series Magnetic Tape Units
Original Equipment Manufacturers' Information
This manual will assist designers of accessory equipment for IBM 2401
and 2402 Models 1-6 Magnetic Tape Units, IBM 2403 Models 1-6 and
2404 Models 1-3 Magnetic Tape Units and Controls, and IBM 2803/2804
Models 1 and 2 Tape Control Units.
Additional information about the operation and use of these tape units
in integrated data processing systems can be obtained from the IBM 2400
Magnetic Tape Units and 2816 Switching Unit Component Description,
Form A22-6866, and from the local IBM Sales Office. Information con-
Icerning I/O operations is in IBM System/360 Channel to Control Unit
OEMI, Form A22-6843.
Preface
The term "2400-series magnetic tape units" used in this
manual refers to the 2401 and 2402 Models 1-6 Magnetic
Tape Units, the 2403 Models 1-6 Magnetic Tape Unit and
Control, the 2404 Models 1-3 Magnetic Tape Unit and Con-
trol, and the 2803/2804 Models 1 and 2 Tape Control
Units. Information in this manual pertains to Models 1-6
of the 2400 series, unless otherwise specified.
The IBM 2415 Magnetic Tape Unit and Control contains
two, four, or six tape drives and a control in a single unit.
The drives and control are not marketed separately. There-
fore, the 2415 control-to-drive interface is not described in
in this manual. Tape timings for the 2415 are listed in the
IBM 2400 Magnetic Tape Units and 2816 Switching Unit
Component Description, Form A22-6866.
