Planning
The LTO tape drive requires an environment able to accommodate the appropriate space, power, location, and other technical specifications. Use this section as a
reference for onsite requirements to allow for optimum operation of the drive.
Tape storage equipment must be gradually acclimated to the surrounding environment to prevent condensation.
Information for planning the installation and layout of your LTO tape drive, including various specifications for optimal performance.
The drive is supported by a wide variety of servers, operating systems, and adapters. Many ways to determine the servers and software that supports this
drive are available.
Acclimation
Tape storage equipment must be gradually acclimated to the surrounding environment to prevent condensation.
When storage equipment is shipped in a climate where the outside temperature is below the dew point of the destination (indoor location), water condensation can
form on the cooler inside and outside surfaces of the equipment when the equipment is brought indoors.
Sufficient time must be allowed for the shipped equipment to gradually reach thermal equilibrium with the indoor environment before you remove the shipping bag
and energize the equipment. Follow these guidelines to properly acclimate your equipment:
Leave the system in the shipping bag. If the installation or staging environment allows it, leave the product in the full package to minimize condensation on
or within the equipment.
Allow the packaged product to acclimate for 24 hours
1
. If visible signs of condensation (either external or internal to the product) are seen after 24 hours,
acclimate the system without the shipping bag for an extra 12 - 24 hours or until no visible condensation remains.
Acclimate the product away from perforated tiles or other direct sources of forced air convection to minimize excessive condensation on or within the
equipment.
