2
The SDLT 600 tape drive system uses the Partial Response Maximum
Likelihood (PRML) 32/33 encoding method for reading/writing SDLT
600 tape drive format. It uses the same algorithmm for reading SDLT 220,
SDLT 320, and the DLT VS160 tape drive formats.
Environmental Specifications 2
The SDLT 600 tape drive system operates in environments that include
general offices and work spaces with systems capable of maintaining
standard comfort levels.
The following subsections provide the environmental specifications for
the SDLT 600 tape drive systems (both the internal and the tabletop
configurations). For long-term trouble-free operation, the manufacturer
strongly recommends that SDLT 600 tape drives be used in a clean,
smoke-free environment.
Air Flow Requirements 2 The internal tape drive requires adequate air flow to dissipate the heat
resulting from continuous drive operation. Specifically, the air flow must
be sufficient to keep the tape path temperature below 50 °C.
To allow enough air into the tape drive to keep the tape path below this
temperature, it is important to keep the cooling holes in the rear and the
grill in the front of the tape drive clear of any obstructions that may
hinder the air flow. For more details about airflow, see the S
DLT 600
Design and Integration Guide (81-81196-xx)
.
Note: It is also important to limit the ambient air temperature to no
greater than 40 °C.
