It is a physical 3590 cart not a 3592 cart which is incompatible with our old 3590 drives as is the 3590 cart on 3592 drives (tried it). The cart is still in our ATL. If you only have 3592 drives, ask SAS for delivery on 3592 media, hopefully they can write 3592 media.
I did go through the pain of trying both downloading to PC and DVD installations and basically gave up and asked our local SAS office for 3590 media which they provided.
