Power Supply

The tape drive operates from standard +5 VDC and +12 VDC supply voltages; it does not use external AC power. Safety agency certification requires that the supplied voltage be from a Safety Extra-Low Voltage source (per IEC 950).

CAUTION

The tape drive does not provide any overvoltage or overcurrent protection. For this reason, be sure that the power is off before connecting the tape drive to power.

Table 6 lists the power specifications for the single-ended and differential configurations of the tape drive.

Power Connector

The power connector used in the tape drive is compatible with power connectors used for standard 5.25-inch devices. To connect the tape drive to a power cable, use an AMP 1-480424-0 series or equivalent female connector. For information about the specific power connector pin assignments, refer to the EXB-8205 and EXB-8505 Product Specification.
