Power Specifications

This section lists the power specifications for the tape drive.

Voltages

The tape drive operates from standard +5 VDC and +12 VDC supply voltages, as specified in Table 6-7.All specified voltages are DC; no external AC power is used by the tape drive. The tape drive does not provide any overvoltage or overcurrent protection.

aThe ripple voltage is included in the total voltage tolerance.

bNominal current occurs during streaming write or read operation.

cThe SLDS card is the single-ended card; the SLDD card is the differential card.

dThe peak current occurs during load, unload, or at the start of search or rewind operations, and lasts for less than 1.5 seconds.

Safety agency certification requires that the supplied voltages be from a Safety Extra-Low Voltage source (per IEC 950).
