AC GROUND
The LF 6600 chassis should be connected to earth ground for operator safety. The AC power cord has a
grounding conductor which connects the LF 6600 chassis to safety ground through the site AC power
system. If the site AC system ties its ground wire connection to earth ground, then the LF 6600 chassis will
also be tied to earth ground. All site AC power connections must be maintained on the same safety
ground.
A line grounding connector located on the rear panel can also be used to tie the LF 6600 chassis to earth
ground. This ground connector is a 6-mm (0.24-in.) M4 with a nut and lock washer.
AC POWER CORD
The type of AC power cord supplied with the LF 6600 will depend upon the configuration ordered.
POWER SUPPLY OUT-OF-RANGE PROTECTION FEATURES
The LF 6600 power supply provides over and under voltage protection, over current protection, power
failure detection and over temperature protection. Should an out-of-range condition be detected, the LF
6600 will shut down the DC outputs of the power supply. For example, if the internal temperature of the
power supply reaches 80° C +/- 5° C (176° F +/- 9° F), the power supply is shut down. After the situation
is corrected, power can be restored by turning the AC power switch to the off position and then to the on
position again.
TILT RANGE
The LF 6600 is not designed for use when tilted from the vertical position.
HEAT DISSIPATION
The drive will typically present a heat load of 146 kg-calories/hr (580 BTU/hr) during a read/write operation.
When media cartridges are inserted, loaded, spun up, spun down, unloaded and removed at the drive's
maximum rate, the LF 6600 will typically present a heat load of 182 kg-calories/hr (725 BTU/hr).
PARTICULATE LIMITS
The LF 6600 is designed for use in an office or computer room. The environment must have a low dust
level. The LF 6600 filters incoming air for cooling to reduce the quantity of particles entering the drive;
however, the filter is not effective against small particles (including tobacco smoke) which will become
deposited on optical components and media, causing degradation in drive performance. Refer to the
Operator Maintenance section for media cleaning and air filter cleaning instructions.
