Shock Specifications
Table 6-12 lists the shock specifications for the tape drive. The
operating shock levels indicate how much shock the tape drive can
withstand while it is reading and writing data. The non-operating and
storage shock levels indicate how much shock the tape drive can
withstand when it is not operating. After withstanding this amount of
shock, the tape drive will operate normally.
Operating Storage

or Not Operating
b
Transportation
a
3 g for 5 ms
c
45 g at a velocity change of
192 inch/sec
d
NSTA Project 1A
a
The tape drive has not been unpacked.
b
The tape drive has been unpacked, but no power has been applied.
c
A minimum of 20 shock pulses were applied to each of the three orthogonal axes.
The shock pulses were half-sine waves and were applied at a rate not exceeding
one shock per second.
d
A minimum of three trapezoidal shock pulses of 45 g were applied to each of the
tape drive’s six sides at a velocity change of 192 inches per second (equivalent
height equals 48 inches).
