Exabyte EXB-8505 8mm - Manual (Page 84)

Both the single-pack and the multi-pack shipping cartons and internal
packing materials are designed so that an enclosed tape drive does
not receive a shock greater than 45 g when the carton is dropped on
any surface, corner, or edge from the following heights:
48 inches (121.9 cm) at a velocity change of 192 inches per second
(488 cm/sec) for the single-pack carton
36 inches (91.4 cm) at a velocity change of 167 inches per second
(424 cm/sec) for the multi-pack carton
Both sizes of shipping carton pass the tests described in the National
Safe Transit Association (NSTA) Project 1A for packaged products
weighing less than 100 pounds.
Note: Do not use a multi-pack shipping carton when shipping a
single tape drive. If you use a multi-pack shipping carton, you
must place three, four, or five tape drives in the carton.
The packing materials are unbleached, reusable, recyclable, and
environmentally safe. The materials contain no chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs) or heavy metals.
Unpacking and Packing Instructions
Unpacking and packing instructions for the tape drive are included in
EXB-8205 and EXB-8505 8mm Cartridge Tape Subsystem Installation and
Operation.
To avoid damaging the tape drive, use the original shipping carton
and packing materials (or replacement packaging obtained from the
vendor) when repacking and shipping the tape drives. The shipping
carton and packing materials are not intended to be used for shipping
items other than an Exabyte half-high tape drive.
