Shock Specifications

Table 6-12lists the shock specifications for the tape drive. The operating shock levels indicate how much shock the tape drive can withstand while it is reading and writing data. The non-operating and storage shock levels indicate how much shock the tape drive can withstand when it is not operating. After withstanding this amount of shock, the tape drive will operate normally.

aThe tape drive has not been unpacked.

bThe tape drive has been unpacked, but no power has been applied.

cA minimum of 20 shock pulses were applied to each of the three orthogonal axes. The shock pulses were half-sine waves and were applied at a rate not exceeding one shock per second.

dA minimum of three trapezoidal shock pulses of 45 g were applied to each of the tape drive’s six sides at a velocity change of 192 inches per second (equivalent height equals 48 inches).
