Bar code labels
The LTO Ultrium 6 tape drives do not require cartridge bar code labels. However, if you use your data cartridges or cleaning cartridges in an IBM tape library product, you might need cartridge bar code labels if your tape library product requires them. You can order these labels separately from the IBM data cartridges and cleaning cartridges.
You can order bar code labels directly from the authorized label suppliers that are listed in Table A-9 on page 420.
IBM 3599 tape cartridges
This section provides information about how to order media supplies, including feature codes and part numbers for ordering media supplies for 3592 tape drives. Selected media supplies can be ordered by using feature codes when a 3592 drive is purchased. This method is the pack-in method of ordering, and the media is shipped with the hardware order. Not all media types are available with this method.
The 3599 tape media method is available for ordering all types of data and cleaning cartridges. This method is typically used for ordering larger quantities and for ordering initialized and pre-labeled cartridges. Media supplies also can be ordered by using part numbers through distributors that are authorized by IBM.
Model description
For clients who order media by using the 3599 tape media method, with IBM Enterprise Tape Media 3599, you can order unlabeled, prelabeled, initialized, and bulk-packaged tape data cartridges. You can order them in various combinations. You also can order cleaning cartridges for the 3592-J1A, TS1150, TS1140, TS1130, and TS1120 tape drives.
Each 3592 data cartridge contains a passive, contactless, silicon storage device called cartridge memory (CM). The CM module holds information about that specific cartridge, the media in the cartridge, and the data on the media. The cartridge and media information is stored in a protected, read-only area of the CM. When the cartridge is loaded into the drive, a CM reader in the drive uses a contactless, radio-frequency interface to read the information. Each cleaning cartridge also contains a CM module, which tracks the number of cleaning uses and the location of the used cleaning media.
Cartridge capacity depends on the following recording formats of the tape drive that is writing the cartridges:
TS1150 can write in Enterprise Format 5 (EFMT5) and in Enterprise Format 4 (EFMT4). Models E08 and EH8 can also write in Enterprise Encrypted Format 5 (EEFMT5) and Enterprise Encrypted Format 4 (EEFMT4), an encrypted format, which does not change the capacity of the cartridge compared to the non-encrypted format
TS1140 can write in Enterprise Format 4 (EFMT4) and in Enterprise Format 3 (EFMT3). Models E07 and EH7 can also write in Enterprise Encrypted Format 4 (EEFMT4) and Enterprise Encrypted Format 3 (EEFMT3), an encrypted format, which does not change the capacity of the cartridge compared to the non-encrypted format
TS1130 can write in the EFMT3 and in EFMT2 format. Models E06 can also write in an encrypted format EEFMT3 and EEFMT2, which does not change the capacity of the cartridge compared to the non-encrypted format
TS1120 writes in EFMT1 or EFMT2 format, and the E05 also can write in an encrypted format EEFMT2, which does not change the capacity of the cartridge compared to the non-encrypted format
3592-J1A writes in EFMT1 only
3592 media types
The TS1150 tape drive uses the Advanced Data (type JD) and Advanced WORM (type JZ) cartridges. The type JD and JZ cartridges have a maximum capacity of 10000 GB.
TS1150 and TS1140 tape drives uses the Advanced Data (type JC) and Advanced WORM (type JY) cartridges. The type JC and JY cartridges have a maximum capacity of 4000 GB in EFMT4 format and 7000 GB in EFMT5 format.
Tape drive TS1140, TS1130, TS1120 all can use 3592 Extended Data (type JB) and Extended WORM (type JX) with a maximum capacity of 1600 GB that uses the EFMT4 format, 1000 GB that uses the EFMT3 format, and 700 GB that uses the EFMT2 format. The 3592 E07 tape drive can read format EFMT2 only.
Tape drive TS1130, TS1120, and 3592 JIA use 3592 Standard Data (type JA) and Standard WORM (type JW) cartridges with a maximum capacity of 640 GB that uses EFMT3 format, 500 GB that uses EFMT2 format, and 300 GB that uses EFMT1 format. The TS1140 tape drive does support cartridge types JA and JW in read-only on any format.
Tape drive TS1130, TS1140, and 3592 JIA use 3592 Economy Data (type JJ) and Economy WORM (type JR) cartridges with a maximum capacity of 128 GB that uses EFMT3 format, 100 GB that uses EFMT2 format, and 60 GB that uses EFMT1 format. The 3592 E07 tape drive supports cartridge types JJ and JR in read-only on any format.
The 3592 E07 and E08 tape drive uses the 3592 Advanced Economy (type JK) cartridge with a maximum capacity of 500 GB that uses EFMT4 format and 900 GB in EFMT5 format.
The 3592 E08 tape drive uses the 3592 Advanced Economy (type JL) cartridge with a maximum capacity of 2000 GB in EFMT5 format.
Ordering 3592 media supplies by using the 3599 tape media method
If you order media by using the 3599 tape media method, IBM Enterprise Tape Media 3599 you can order unlabeled, pre-labeled, initialized, and bulk-packaged data cartridges in various combinations. You also can order cleaning cartridges. Table A-6 shows a list of data cartridges that can be ordered by using the 3599 tape media method.

With the 3599 tape media method of ordering, model numbers are used to identify the cartridge types. Feature code combinations are used to specify the quantities, labeling, and initialization options.
IBM 3599 supports volume serial number (VOLSER) labels with embedded radio frequency identification (RFID)-enabled bar code labels, which store and allow remote retrieval of VOLSER information. RFID labels contain a 216-bit unique pre-programmed field and a 256-bit user-defined field. These RFID labels work with most standard asset tracking and management software.
 
Important: For cartridges that are not initialized, the actual cartridge capacity depends on the format that is used to write the cartridge.
Table A-7 on page 418 lists the data cartridges and media supplies that you can order for the 3592 tape drives. You can use one of the following methods to order the cartridges:
Order by part number through an IBM authorized distributor. For more information about the nearest distributor, see the IBM Storage media page at this website:
If you do not have Internet access, you can order the cartridges from any authorized IBM Business Partner or your IBM marketing representative.
Call 1-888-IBM-MEDIA
 
Note: All WORM cartridges must be ordered by using their part number, as shown in Table A-7 on page 418.

Labeling service
The labeling service applies to IBM 3589 and IBM 3599 media types that have labels, as described in the previous sections.
Six characters are in the VOLSER. IBM provides specific codes to give you the flexibility to choose where to begin the volume range that you require. The sixth character is always a 0 character because your volume serial range always must begin at a 0 boundary for labeling. Also, the labels that are supplied are sequential. For example, if you order 20 cartridges, the first cartridge is labeled with a sixth digit of 0, and the 20th cartridge is labeled with a sixth digit of 9.
The character identifier features are four-digit feature numbers in the form 9nnn, where:
The first digit (9) indicates that the feature carries no charge
A second digit of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 indicates which character in the VOLSER this feature is specifying (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th)
The third and fourth digits range 00 - 35, where 00 - 09 represent the characters  
1 - 9, and 10 - 35 represent the characters A - Z
Choose the first 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 digits by using the following feature numbers:
For the first alphanumeric digit (0 - 9 or A - Z), use FC9100 (0) to FC9135 (Z)
For the second alphanumeric digit (0 - 9 or A - Z), use FC9200 (0) to FC9235 (Z)
For the third alphanumeric digit (0 - 9 or A - Z), use FC9300 (0) to FC9335 (Z)
For the fourth numeric digit (0 - 9), use FC9400 (0) to FC9409 (9)
For the fifth numeric digit (0 - 9), use FC9500 (0) to FC9509 (9)
The sixth numeric digit is set to 0 as standard
The seventh and eighth characters of the VOLSER are set based on media type. For more information, see the “Media identifier” column in Table A-4 on page 409 and “Labeling service” on page 418.
If you do not specify a feature code, the supplied starting character is a 0. Therefore, if you specify features for the first three characters as ABC but no more, the sequence of labels begins ABC000.
The following specific features indicate requirements for colored labels:
FC9077 specifies a white background
FC9022 specifies a colored background for alphabetic characters
If you specify FC9022, you can choose from 10 available colors, as shown in Table A-8.
