Shared requirements across all categories

Table 3. Shared requirements across all categoriesThis table describes Shared requirements across all categories.
Allowable operations
Maximum temperature gradient (applies to both operation and non-operation) 20°C in an hour* (36°F in an hour) and 5°C in 15 minutes (9°F in 15 minutes), 5°C in an hour* (9°F in an hour) for tape hardware
Non-operational temperature limits -40 to 65°C (-40 to 149°F)
Non-operational humidity limits 5% to 95% RH with 27°C (80.6°F) maximum dew point
Maximum non-operational altitude 12,000 meters (39,370 feet)

*: Per ASHRAE thermal guidelines, these are not instantaneous rates of temperature change.

Table 4. Maximum vibration specificationsThe maximum vibration specification of an operational system is 0.26 Grms at 5 Hz to 350 Hz (all operation orientations).The maximum vibration specification of a nonoperational system is 1.88 Grms at 10 Hz to 500 Hz for 15 minutes (all six sides tested).
Maximum vibration Specifications
Operating 0.26 Grms at 5 Hz to 350 Hz (all operation orientations)
Storage 1.88 Grms at 10 Hz to 500 Hz for 15 minutes (all six sides tested)
Table 5. Maximum shock pulse specificationsThe maximum shock specification of an operational system is 24 consecutively executed shock pulses in the positive and negative x, y, and z axis of 40 G for up to 2.3 ms (4 pulse on each side of the system). The maximum shock specification of a nonoperational system is six consecutively executed shock pulses in the positive and negative x, y, and z axis (one pulse on each side of the system) of 71 G for up to 2 ms.
Maximum shock pulse Specifications
Operating 24 executed shock pulses in the positive and negative x, y, and z axis of 6 G for up to 11 ms. (4 pulse on each side of the system)
Storage Six consecutively executed shock pulses in the positive and negative x, y, and z axis (one pulse on each side of the system) of 71 G for up to 2 ms.
