Internal Tape Drive: Operating Temperature and Humidity
Figure 8-3 provides the temperature and humidity requirements for the
internal tape drive. The area within the dotted line represents the operating
environment. Table 8-15 defines the points in the chart.
Caution
The operating temperature and humidity specifications are for the tape path.
When the tape drive is in an enclosure, the ambient temperature typically must be
lower than the maximum temperature to avoid exceeding the maximum at the
tape path.
