Acoustic noise limits
The overall, averaged A-weighted sound pressure level (in decibels) for the
autoloader does not exceed the upper limits specified in the following table.
Operating mode
The autoloader is turned on and idle.
The autoloader is operational (the carousel
or cartridge loader is moving) and the tape
drive is in streaming mode.
(1) LpA is the average A-weighted sound pressure level over the following fre-
quency range: 5 Hz to 12.5 KHz.
(2) Represents a maximum sustained operational level.
Shock and vibration
Shock specifications
The autoloader will operate normally after experiencing shock loads as specified
in the following table. The operating shock levels indicate how much shock
the autoloader can withstand while the enclosed tape drive is reading and
writing data. The non-operating and storage shock levels indicate how much
shock the autoloader can withstand when it is not operating. After experiencing
this amount of shock, the autoloader will operate normally.
Operating (1)
3 g for 5 msec (4)
(1) The autoloader is unpacked and is picking and placing cartridges from the
cartridge slots and tape drive.
(2) The autoloader has not been unpacked.
(3) The autoloader has been unpacked, but it is not turned on.
(4) A minimum of 20 shock pulses were applied to the bottom/top axis. The
shock pulses were half-sine waves and were applied at a rate not exceeding
one shock per second.
(5) A minimum of three 45 g shock pulses were applied to each of the auto-
loader's six sides.
Storage (2) or non-operating (3)
45 g at 152 in/sec (5)
