Environmental Specifications

Chapter 6
This chapter describes the environmental specifications of the DLT VS160 tape drive.
The tape drive operates in environments that include general offices and workspaces that consist of:
• Conditioned and marginally-conditioned areas with central or remote air-conditioning
• Complete temperature and humidity controls
• Moderate control tolerances
• Systems capable of maintaining consistent comfort levels.
The tape drive does not conform to environments that consist of:
• Marginal heating or cooling apparatus
• No humidity conditioning
• Uncontrolled tolerances
• Systems inadequate to maintain constant comfort levels.
For long-term trouble-free operation, we strongly recommend that you operate and store your
DLT VS160 tape drive in a clean, smoke-free environment.
The following tables provide the operating, non-operating, storage, and shipping environmental
specifications for the DLT VS160 tape drive systems (both the internal and the tabletop
configurations).
