Definition of Failure
A failure is defined as any permanent manufacture of the drive that prevents the user from retrieving data from tape.
This includes failure to power up, failure to unload or eject a cassette, or failure to write and read data to and from the
tape, providing that both the drive and tape are being used within specification.
Faults are not considered failures when they are related to operator error mishandling and abuse, system-related
faults (cabling problems unsupported systems, operating software and so on) no trouble found, and transportation
damage.
2.3.11.
Mean Time Between Failures
The Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) for the SDX-800V is 400,000 power-on hours, assuming a duty cycle of
100%, where:
