Vibration specifications The following table shows the vibration specifications for the autoloader during
operation, non-operation, storage, and transportation. The operating
specifications indicate the amount of vibration the autoloader can withstand
while the enclosed tape drive is reading and writing data.
(1) A 0.3 g rms random vibration spectrum is applied to the bottom/top axis for a
minimum of 20 minutes per axis.
(2) A 1.06 g rms random vibration spectrum is appli ed to each of three orthogo-
nal axes for a minimum of 20 minutes per axis.
(3) The autoloader has been unpacked, but is not operating.
(4) The autoloader is packaged in its original shipping container.
(5) Three sweeps at one octave per minute are applied to each axis at 0.75 g
(0 . peak) input.
(6) Three sweeps at one octave per minute are applied to the top/bottom axis at
0.3 g (0 . peak) input.
Random vibration (1) applied during operation
1 Hz PSD = 0.0000040 g2/Hz
5 Hz PSD = 0.0000270 g2/Hz
10-150 Hz PSD = 0.0004048 g2/Hz
200-400 Hz PSD = 0.0001079 g2/Hz
Random vibration (2) applied d uring no n-operat ion (3) an d storage (4)
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
