#2624 Storage Device Controller SPD
The #2624 Storage Device Controller supports the ¼-inch cartridge and 8mm cartridge
internal tape devices, 9331-011, 9331-012, or #6135 external diskette devices, and internal
CD-ROM devices. CD-ROM device support requires V4R4.
As a feature on the 9406 Model 740 and SB1, the #2624 controls up to two media devices
installed in the system unit and one external diskette unit. For 9406 Models 170 and 720, the
MFIOP or base PCI Disk Unit Controller supports the base CD-ROM and one internal tape in
the system unit.
As a feature on a #5072, #5073, or #5044 System Unit Expansion Tower, the #2624 supports
up to three internal tape or CD-ROM devices and one external diskette unit.
The internal tapes that are supported by the #2624 are:
• 1.2G ¼-inch Cartridge Migration Kit #1379
• 2.5G ¼-inch Cartridge Migration Kit #1380
• 2.5G ¼-inch Cartridge #6380
• 7G 8mm Cartridge #6390

The #2624 does not support any other internal media.
The #2624 is not supported on the 9406 Model 170 or Model 720 with no SPD card slots.
Unless the customer requires a #2624 to support a diskette drive or CD-ROM, the #6513
