1.    See “Noise Emission Notes” on page 336 for definitions of noise emissions positions. 
2.    The amount of space needed by the unit during normal operation is indicated by the footprint dimensions. 
3.    Inrush currents occur only at initial application of power, no inrush occurs during normal power off-on cycle. 
4.    Width measurement includes the optional vertical stand. 
5.    For systems with FC 6120: 80/160 GB Internal Tape Drive with VXA Technology or FC 6134: 60/150 GB 16-bit 
8mm Internal Tape Drive, the maximum operating temperature is limited. For additional information about this 
limitation, refer to the following table.
