2.3.11. Mean Time Between Failures
The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) for the SDX-570V is 300,000 power-on hours, assuming a duty cycle of
100%, where:
2.3.12. Mean Time to Repair
The Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) of the SDX-570V is 30 minutes. Since at the field level the entire drive is
considered a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) the time to replace the drive with a new one is less that 30 minutes.
2.3.13. Component Life
The specified life of the SDX-570V is 5 years average.
2.3.14. Durability
The durability of the components in the SDX-570V will exceed the number of operations listed on the following table:
Start/Stop
Reposition
Thread/Unthread
Load/Eject
2.4. Safety
The SDX-570V conforms to the following safety Standards:
• UL/cUL (Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.)
UL 60950-1, First Edition/CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1-03
Safety of Information Technology Equipment.
• TUV

Conditions of Acceptability
2.4.1.
The SDX-570V is for use only in equipment where the suitability of the combination has been determined by an
appropriate certification organization (for example, Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. or the Canadian Standards
Association in North America, and the British Standards Institution or Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker in
Europe). Other considerations include the following:
1.
An enclosure must be supplied to limit the operator's access to live parts, to provide system stability, and to
furnish the drive with the necessary grounding integrity.
2.
The necessary voltage supplies must be provided. These supplies are Extra Low Voltage SEC for UL and CSA,
or Safety Extra Low Voltage for BSI, VDE, and so on, of +5V and +12V DC.
2.5. Installation Requirements
Note: Do not move the drive while it is operating. It may cause malfunction.
