The 3584-S24 is a storage-only expansion frame, a first-generation HD (HD1) frame for 3592 data cartridges. It holds no tape drives. Slot count is 600 as shipped and 1,000 with HD capacity on demand, and the frame is used in frame position 2 or later.
These frames were attached to TS3500 tape libraries. Up to 17 S24 frames can also be added to the right of the base frame of a TS4500 library, each supporting up to 1,000 3592 cartridge slots. Attaching to a TS4500 needs feature 1742, which converted the frame; that feature was withdrawn on 13 September 2022, although S24 frames are still supported. Installed in a TS4500, an S24 must sit to the right of the base frame, and a TS4500 holds 18 expansion frames in total including that base frame.
A top rack (Model TR1 or TR2) can be added to the frame as an option. In an HD frame the cartridge retention latch is on the right side of a 3592 slot, and on the left side of an LTO slot, which tells the two frame types apart.
The LTO counterpart is the 3584-S54, and the 3592 drive for the library is the 3592-E07. More tape parts are on the IBM tape and Storwize parts page.
