Attention: Acclimation time is required if the temperature of the drive when unpacked is different than the temperature of its operating environment (measured at the front of the bezel near the air intake area as shown in Figure 4). The recommended acclimation time is four hours after the drive has been unpacked or one hour after any condensation that you can see has evaporated, whichever is greater. When acclimating the drive, apply the following measures: v If the drive is colder than its operating environment and the air contains sufficient humidity, condensation may occur in the drive and damage it. When the drive has warmed to the operating temperature range (greater than 10°C or 50°F) and no danger of condensation is present (the air is dry), warm the drive more quickly by powering it on for 30 minutes. Use a diagnostic tape to test the drive before inserting a tape that contains data. v If the drive is hotter than its operating environment, the tape can stick to the drive head. When the drive has cooled to the operating temperature range (less than 40°C or 104°F), cool the drive more quickly by applying airflow for 30 minutes. Power-on the drive and use a diagnostic tape to test it before inserting a tape that contains data. If you are uncertain about whether the temperature of the drive is within the recommended operating range or the humidity is sufficient to cause condensation, acclimate the drive for the full four hours.
