4362.0. "VAXstation 4060 & TZ30" by HGOVC::JIMMYWONG () Mon Apr 21 1997 06:39

    Hi,
    
    From SOC, TZ30 should be installed in SZ16 expansion box. One customer
    wants to install TZ30 inside a VAXstation 4060 as they don't have a
    SZ16 box.
    
    Is there any suitable mounting kit available ? Any body has similar
    experience ?
    
    
    Thanks in advance,

    After looking at my old SOC's, I don't think the TZ30 was ever
    qualified in the 4060, so I doubt that mounting hardware would have
    been created.

4362.2Use Newer Drive, Or Find SZ16XDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringTue Apr 22 1997 11:3611
   I'd replace the TZ30 with a more recent device, as this will greatly reduce
   the number of cassettes needed for BACKUPs of recent-generation disks.
   Most current-generation TZKnn drives -- confirm that the particular model
   being ordered can, before ordering -- can read TK50/TZ30-class cassettes.

   I'd also use a TZK-class drive qualified for use in StorageWorks.

   If the customer insists on reusing the TZ30 -- or has a need to write
   TZ30-class cassettes -- then I'd spend my time looking for an SZ16...
