Vibration Specifications

Table 6-13lists the vibration specifications for the tape drive during operation, non-operation, storage, and transportation. The operating specifications listed in this table indicate the amount of vibration that the tape drive can withstand while reading and writing data.

Table 6-13Vibration specifications

Random vibrationa applied during operation

1 Hz	PSD = 0.000003 g2/Hz
5 Hz	PSD = 0.00002 g2/Hz
10-150 Hz	PSD = 0.0003 g2/Hz
200-400 Hz	PSD = 0.00008 g2/Hz

Random vibrationb applied during non-operationcand storaged

1 Hz	PSD = 0.0003 g2/Hz
3 Hz	PSD = 0.00055 g2/Hz
12-100 Hz	PSD = 0.01 g2/Hz
400 Hz	PSD = 0.000003 g2/Hz
