In addition, in the 0° axis, the drive will operate with +20°nose-up tilt.
3 Electrical requirements PSU requirements Internal and rack-mounted drives The drives are specified to operate at 5V±5% and 12V±10%. Any PSU used to power the drive must be capable of providing 5V nominal (when the drive pulls 5A on the 5V rail) and 12V nominal (when the drive pulls 2A on the 12V rail). HP recommends a 10% buffer when selecting a power supply source capable of delivering the amperage and power required. SCSI Drives Specification FC Drives 5V 12V 5V 12V Maximum voltage 5.25V 13.

4 Electromagnetic compatibility NOTE: The EMC performance of internal storage products depends on the characteristics of the system in which the product is installed. HP has tested products installed in network storage system enclosures and in external desktop enclosures to verify EMC performance against the regulatory standards in force at the time of introduction.

The actual capacity depends on the compression ratio of the data. This is typically 2:1 but can be anywhere between 1:1 and 110:1.
Environmental specifications (media) Operating Parameter Specification Ambient Temperature 10°C to 45°C (50°F to 113°F) Relative Humidity (non-condensing) 10% to 80% Maximum Wet Bulb Temperature 26°C (78.8°F) Storage (day-to-day) Parameter Specification Ambient Temperature 16°C to 35°C (60°F to 95°F) Relative Humidity (non-condensing) 20% to 80% Maximum Wet Bulb Temperature 26°C (78.8°F) Storage (transportation) Parameter Specification Ambient Temperature -23°C to 49°C (-9.
Interface specification • Contactless, passive RF interface using a proximity inductive coupling with a range in the order of millimeters. • Power to the transponder is coupled through the interface. • The range depends on implementation (10 to 20 mm is the maximum). The best error rate performance will occur at short distances. • The memory can be read from below (by a drive) or from the front (in libraries).
8 Ultrium format standard Compatibility HP Gen 3 Ultrium drives are specified to interchange data cartridges with other tape drives that comply to the LTO U-18, U-28, and U-316 specification documents: Capacity (2:1 compression) Format Write Read 800 GB WORM Ultrium-3 Yes Yes 800 GB (680m) Ultrium-3 Yes Yes 400 GB (580m) Ultrium-2 Yes Yes 200 GB (580m) Ultrium-1 No Yes 100 GB (290m) Ultrium-1 No Yes This specification is only applicable when: • Cartridges carry the Ultrium logo.

11 Automation Control Interface Specification Physical interface • RS-422, Drive Sense, Library Sense, Reset and Attention signals • A default of 9600 baud at power-on, after a tape drive reset and after an ACI reset. After that, the library can configure the tape drive to use other baud rates (19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200 baud for HP Ultrium drives) using the Set Baud Rate command.
