Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
For best performance of your VLS, please observe the
following guidelines:
p
If you expose cartridges to temperatures outside the
operating limits – 40-113°F (5-40°C) – stabilize
them by leaving the cartridges in the operating
temperature for a minimum of two hours before you
use them.
p
Avoid temperature problems by ensuring that the
VLS's rear and bottom are not obstructed, so that the
drive has adequate ventilation.
p
Position the VLS where the temperature is relatively
stable (i.e. away from open windows, fan heaters
and doors).
p
Avoid leaving cartridges in severe temperature
conditions, for example, in a car standing in bright
sunlight.
p
Avoid transferring data (reading from and writing to
cartridges) when the temperature is changing by
more than 20ºF (10ºC) per hour.
Before calling ADIC Customer Assistance, follow these
steps – which will help you take full advantage of your call:
p
