Internal Temperature
The current temperature reported by the sensor located
on the drive controller board. The current temperature Current Temperature
value will be significantly higher than ambient
temperature but dependent on it, as well as drive usage
and air flow. The algorithm that assesses whether the
drive is in specification takes account of the location of
the sensor and uses that to estimate the thermal
conditions of the tape path.
If a warning is shown, the airflow for the drive should
be improved. If this cannot be corrected, contact HP
support. Note that a warning will normally trigger an
alert.
The maximum operational temperature reported by the
sensor located on the drive controller board since the Max Temperature (since last power cycle)
last power cycle with an assessment of whether the
maximum temperature of the tape path is within
specification. The maximum temperature value will be
significantly higher than ambient temperature but
dependent on it as well as drive usage and air flow.
