aA 0.5 Grms random vibration spectrum is applied to each of three orthogonal axes for a minimum of 30 minutes per axis.

bA 1.06 Grms random vibration spectrum is applied to each of three orthogonal axes for a minimum of 20 minutes per axis.

cThree sweeps at one octave per minute are applied to each axis at 0.75 g (peak) input.

dOne sweep at one-quarter octave per minute are applied to each axis at 0.5 g (peak) input.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS FOR THE VXATAPE CARTRIDGES

Table 7-20summarizes the environmental requirements for the VXAtape cartridges. You should maintain the temperature and humidity at a steady level within these ranges, and also limit fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

Note: When a VXAtape is brought into the room where the VXA tape drive is located, allow the VXAtape to adjust to room temperature and humidity before using it.
