Exabyte EXB-8505 8mm manual Unpacking and Packing Instructions

4Requirements for Use

Both the single-pack and the multi-pack shipping cartons and internal packing materials are designed so that an enclosed tape drive does not receive a shock greater than 45 g when the carton is dropped on any surface, corner, or edge from the following heights:

48 inches (121.9 cm) at a velocity change of 192 inches per second (488 cm/sec) for the single-pack carton

36 inches (91.4 cm) at a velocity change of 167 inches per second (424 cm/sec) for the multi-pack carton

Both sizes of shipping carton pass the tests described in the National Safe Transit Association (NSTA) Project 1A for packaged products weighing less than 100 pounds.

Note: Do not use a multi-pack shipping carton when shipping a single tape drive. If you use a multi-pack shipping carton, you must place three, four, or five tape drives in the carton.

The packing materials are unbleached, reusable, recyclable, and environmentally safe. The materials contain no chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or heavy metals.

Unpacking and Packing Instructions

Unpacking and packing instructions for the tape drive are included in EXB-8205 and EXB-8505 8mm Cartridge Tape Subsystem Installation and Operation.

To avoid damaging the tape drive, use the original shipping carton and packing materials (or replacement packaging obtained from the vendor) when repacking and shipping the tape drives. The shipping carton and packing materials are not intended to be used for shipping items other than an Exabyte half-high tape drive.
