connector at any frequency between 45 Hz and 20 MHz.
Reliability Specifications
The PowerVault LTO-4-120 Half-Height tape drive is designed for maximum reliability and data integrity. Table 6-6 lists the reliability specifications.
Table 6-6. Reliability Specifications
Mean Time Between Failures
The mean time between failures (MTBF) is specified at 250,000 hours minimum. This specification includes all power-on and operational time but excludes
maintenance periods. Operational time is assumed to be 100% of the power-on time. Operational time is the time the tape is loaded.
Mean Time to Replace
The mean time to replace (MTTR) is the average time required by a qualified service technician to diagnose a defective drive and to install a replacement drive.
The MTTR for LTO products is less than 0.5 hour (30 minutes).
The LTO drives are field-replaceable units. If a problem occurs with a subassembly or component in the drive, you should replace the entire unit. Return the
drive to the factory in its original packaging. Contact your distributor, dealer, or computer system company, or the relevant representative to arrange the
return.
