DC Voltages
The internal tape drive operates from st5 and +12 VDC supply
voltages (all specified voltages are DC, no external AC power is used).
Note:
The VXA-320 tape drive does not provide overvoltage or overcurrent
protection, except for TERMPWR, which has a resettable fuse. Safety
agency certifications are based on the voltages being supplied by a Safety
Extra Low Voltage (SELV) source (per IEC 950).
