TS3500 - change tape drive 3592 J1a / TS1130

[mathiasbx]

Hi @ll,

We have a library with a lot of old J1A drives in the first frame and a lot of TS1130 drives in the fifth frame.
Now i will replace some J1A drives by TS1130.

My question is, if the "old" power supplies of the J1A have enough power for the TS1130 drives.

I look forward to your answers.

Greeting
Mathias

This is best answered by an IBM CE. I would, for the sake of uniformity, change the power supplies since new drives are being installed anyways.
