3.3

Environmental Specifications

The SDLT 220/320 tape drive operates in environments that include general
offices and workspaces with systems capable of maintaining standard comfort
levels.

The following subsections provide the environmental specifications for the SDLT
systems (both the internal and the tabletop configurations). For long-term trouble-
free operation, it is strongly recommended that SDLT tape drives be used in a
clean, smoke-free environment.

3.3.1 Air Flow Requirements

Adequate air flow must be provided for the internal tape drive to dissipate the heat
resulting from continuous drive operation. Specifically, the air flow must be
sufficient to keep the tape path temperature below 52°C.

N

OTE

: It is important to realize that the amount of air flow

provided for the tape drive determines the maximum
ambient temperature in which the drive can operate.

For more details about specific temperatures inside the drive at specific locations,
refer to a separate document, SDLT 220 and SDLT 320 Design and Integration
Guide, 81-81148-01.
