Magnetic Tape Subsystem Reference Guide

'PREFACE

,.This

reference~guide

and associated video presentation were created by FE Service Plan-

'ning and Support to assist you in maintaining the 3420/3803 Magnetic Tape Subsystem.

Two approaches were taken:

L',

New information

included as a result

data indicating the areas where more

in-depth knowledge

needed.

2. Currentinformation, which

frequently used, has been condensed from the

MLM/

Pathfinder and included here.

The guide

divided'into four major sections. Each

these sections contains informa-

tion which logically fits into that section. Take the time to glance through the guide and

get an idea

what

included.

Pay particular attention

the "NTF Service Checks" portion

each area.

AND

MODEL

DIFFERENCES

The Model 3

was

designed

attach

370/115s and 125s.

basically a

Modell

with

three major differences. These differences are required because the 115 and 125

don't

use

a standard 370 channel.

-ALUI

modified

interface with the channel on the 115 and 125 and translate the

activity to 370 channel sequences which the rest

the 3803 understands.

-Hardware logic called AUTO DATA TRANSFER

provided

handle the data trans-

fer.

includes the byte counter.

- A 32-BYTE DATA BUFFER

provided for reading and writing. This large a buffet

required in the event

that

data crosses a page boundary. When this happens, time

required for ALUI to set the address

the new page back into the data address con-

trol in the 115 or 125.

The 3803 Model 3 tape subsystem connects to the Magnetic Tape Adaptor (MT

inter-

face

system 3115 or system 3125. The term

A interface refers

a set

lines over

which control and data signals are exchanged between the control unit and the

portion

the system.

The basic 3803-3 Control Unit consists

A interface attachment section, a data

buffer section, a microprogram section, a read section, a write section, a tape unit inter-

face and a

section.

I/O commands received from

CPU

through

MTA

are executed with microprograms resi-

dent in two independent read-only storage (ROS) units within the 3803-3 Control Unit.

One ROS controls the MTA interface lines while the other ROS controls the tape unit

interface.

The 3803-3 Control Unit operates in burst mode for all data transfers and executes com-

mands received across the interface, performing one command

a single tape unit at a

time.

When

a 3803 Mode13

taken offline, all functions from the control

the tape unit

become the same

RECORDING

Group Coded Recording

The progression

IBM

digital recording from NRZI

PE to GRC

the result

IBM's

effort to provide the customer with the lowest cost and highest reliability tape storage

devices.

NRZI coding utilizes a chnage in flux

indicate a one and no change

represent a zero.

NRZI tapes can be written in densities

200, 556 bpi in 7-track format, and 800 bpi in

9-trace format. (See example A.)

PE coding utilizes a change

magnetic flux in the positive direction

indicate a one

and a change in the negative direction

indicate a zero. PE tapes are written

1600

bpi 9-track density only. (See example B.)

GCR coding utilizes a combination

NRZI and PE

achieve the highest density avail-

able on

IBM

drives. Density for GCR

effectively 6250 bpi. (See Example C.)

Group Coded Recording -

6250

bpi

Group Coded Recording (GCR) offers many advantages over previously used recording

methods. This recording offers higher reliability even with existing tape libraries.

Greatly expanded error correction capability has been engineered into GCR. Higher

data rates and lower access times

give

higher throughput and reduced channel time,

re-

sulting in higher system performance. Data

compacted on tape, reducing rewind

times, shortening the length

tape required for a data set, reducing the number

reels, reducing mounts and dismounts, and improving overall tape handling. Other

advantages exist,

but

here

wish

discuss only the recording technique.

The data

still recorded in blocks, or groups

characters. A block

data may be

a single character or byte, or a number

bytes

determined by the programming

system used. The significant improvements in the GCR mode are:

1. The information data

recorded at an effective density

6250 bytes per inch.

2. The separation between blocks (IBG)

0.3 inch, and,

3. That simultaneous errors in any two

the nine tracks are corrected automatically.

A GCR block consists

a preamble, data and a postamble. The preamble and post-

amble are each 80 bytes long and serve to synchronize the read detection circuits in a

manner similar

previous 1600 bpi subsystems. The data portion

the block consists
