The LF 6600 implements the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) via standard SCSI-2 micro-
connectors located on the rear panel. Single-ended and differential interface options are available, and
the interface can be changed in the field. Both the single-ended and differential controllers support asynchronous or synchronous data transfer operations. Preventive maintenance for the LF 6600 is minimal (refer to Operator Maintenance section of this manual). Corrective maintenance is simplified by internal diagnostic firmware which detects, isolates and reports malfunctions to the operator and identifies the Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). LM 6000 media is interchangeable between the LF 6602, LF 6600 and the LD 6100. The 6000 series of drives will also read LM 4000 media written by the Plasmon LMS 4000 series of optical drive products (except for media with serial numbers less than X0010000, where X designates an A or B).

AC GROUND

The LF 6600 chassis should be connected to earth ground for operator safety. The AC power cord has a grounding conductor which connects the LF 6600 chassis to safety ground through the site AC power system. If the site AC system ties its ground wire connection to earth ground, then the LF 6600 chassis will also be tied to earth ground. All site AC power connections must be maintained on the same safety ground.
A line grounding connector located on the rear panel can also be used to tie the LF 6600 chassis to earth
ground. This ground connector is a 6-mm (0.24-in.) M4 with a nut and lock washer.

AC POWER CORD

The type of AC power cord supplied with the LF 6600 will depend upon the configuration ordered.

POWER SUPPLY OUT-OF-RANGE PROTECTION FEATURES

The LF 6600 power supply provides over and under voltage protection, over current protection, power failure detection and over temperature protection. Should an out-of-range condition be detected, the LF 6600 will shut down the DC outputs of the power supply. For example, if the internal temperature of the power supply reaches 80° C +/- 5° C (176° F +/- 9° F), the power supply is shut down. After the situation is corrected, power can be restored by turning the AC power switch to the off position and then to the on position again.

TILT RANGE

The LF 6600 is not designed for use when tilted from the vertical position.

HEAT DISSIPATION

The drive will typically present a heat load of 146 kg-calories/hr (580 BTU/hr) during a read/write operation. When media cartridges are inserted, loaded, spun up, spun down, unloaded and removed at the drive's maximum rate, the LF 6600 will typically present a heat load of 182 kg-calories/hr (725 BTU/hr).

PARTICULATE LIMITS

The LF 6600 is designed for use in an office or computer room. The environment must have a low dust level. The LF 6600 filters incoming air for cooling to reduce the quantity of particles entering the drive; however, the filter is not effective against small particles (including tobacco smoke) which will become deposited on optical components and media, causing degradation in drive performance. Refer to the Operator Maintenance section for media cleaning and air filter cleaning instructions.
