CHAPTER 3
Electrical Specifications
3.1 Current and Power Requirements
Table 3-1 on page 3-3 lists the current and power requirements for both versions of
the tape system (internal and tabletop). The tabletop version requires AC power.
The highest current (and power) is drawn during the native write modes and
backward-read compatibility (BRC) read modes, so they are outlined in Table 3-1
on page 3-3. Standby is measured with the tape loaded and tensioned or
untensioned, and Idle is measured with power on with no tape loaded. (The
power drawn in these two modes is similar enough that they are listed together.)
Power-up current surges are less than those encountered during motor
accelerations, and so are not listed separately.
NOTE: In Table 3-1 on page 3-3, the current and DC power values
are relevant to the internal drive, while the AC power
values are relevant to the tabletop drive.
