Air Flow/Cooling Requirements
When mounted in the host enclosure, the tape drive must have adequate air
flow. Ensure that ambient air is allowed to pass through the ventilation holes
shown in
Figure 3-1 on page 19
. These ventilation holes must not be blocked.
The air flow around the tape drive must be sufficient to prevent tape path
temperatures from exceeding 45 °C (113 °F).
The tape drive is equipped with a temperature sensor. It issues an
overtemperature signal through the LOG SENSE command if the above
temperature is exceeded. You can access temperature data through the LOG
SENSE command. See the
VXA-320 (VXA-3) SCSI Reference Manual
.
Particulate Contamination Limits
The VXA-320 tape drive is designed to operate in environments that do not
exceed the limits listed in
Table 7-17
.
Shock Specifications
The storage and nonoperating shock levels indicate how much shock the tape
drive can withstand when it is not operating. The operating shock levels
indicate how much shock the tape drive can withstand while reading and
writing data. After withstanding this amount of shock, the tape drive operates
normally.
Table 7-18
lists the shock specifications for the tape drive.

The tape drive has been unpacked, but no power is applied.
b
Half-sine shock pulses are applied to each of the three orthogonal axes. (Three shocks at 60 g at a rate not
exceeding 1 shock per second. One shock at 50 g.)
