SDLT 600A Tape Drive Recording Method

Environmental Specifications

The SDLT 600A tape drive uses the Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) 32/33 encoding method for reading/writing SDLT 600A tape drive format. It uses the same algorithm for reading SDLT 220, SDLT 320, and the DLT VS160 tape drive formats.

Environmental Specifications

Air Flow Requirements

The SDLT 600A tape drive operates in environments that include general offices and work spaces with systems capable of maintaining standard comfort levels.

The following subsections provide the environmental specifications for the SDLT 600A tape drives (both the internal and the tabletop configurations). For long-term trouble-free operation, the manufacturer strongly recommends that SDLT 600A tape drives be used in a clean, smoke-free environment.

The internal tape drive requires adequate air flow to dissipate the heat resulting from continuous drive operation. Specifically, the air flow must be sufficient to keep the tape path temperature below 50 °C.

To allow enough air into the tape drive to keep the tape path below this temperature, it is important to keep the cooling holes in the rear and the grill in the front of the tape drive clear of any obstructions that may hinder the air flow.

Note: It is also important to limit the ambient air temperature to no greater than 40 °C.

Temperature and

The ambient operating environment for the tape drive may not exceed

Humidity

the limits shown in table 14.
