Artifact Details

Description

This object consists of 2 separate units which are bolted together to form a single item. Each unit has its own model and serial numbers. On the left is the master unit, on the right is the slave unit. The master is twice as wide as the slave.

The master unit has 2 center opening doors on the front and on the back. One of the front doors has openings for a small front panel and an emergency power off switch. Opening the front doors reveals a large power cord with a large 4 pin power connector and a 6 gang circuit breaker. There is also an extended front panel. There are 4 sets of TAG and BUS connectors for interfacing to IBM style I/O channels. Opening the rear doors reveals a large card cage which can be pivoted outward for service.

The slave unit has a door in the front and a door in the back. Above the front door are a pair of cartridge tape drives. Each drive has an opening to load a cartridge. Opening the front door allows each of the drives to be slid out for service. Opening the back door reveals a small card cage which can be pivoted outward for service. There is also a pump and associated plumbing. (This probably supplies vacuum for tape handling.) Sticking out the top of the slave unit is a control panel with switches and indicators for each drive.
