AC GROUND
The LF 8600 chassis should be connected to earth ground for operator safety. The AC power cord has a
grounding conductor which connects the LF 8600 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 8600 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 8600 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 8600 will depend upon the configuration ordered.
POWER SUPPLY OUT-OF-RANGE PROTECTION FEATURES
The LF 8600 power supply provides over and under voltage protection, over current protection, and power
failure detection. Should an out-of-range condition be detected, the LF 8600 will shut down the DC outputs
of the power supply. 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.
PLASMON L M S - LF 8600 USER MANUAL
Page 18
TILT RANGE
The LF 8600 is not designed for use when tilted from the vertical position.
HEAT DISSIPATION
The drive will typically present a heat load of 95 kg-calories/hr (376 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 8600 will typically present a heat load of 138 kg-calories/hr (546 BTU/hr).
PARTICULATE LIMITS
The LF 8600 is designed for use in an office or computer room. The environment must have a low dust
level. The LF 8600 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.
WARNING LABELS
The LF 8600 is classified as a laser product and meets all United States federal requirements. The warning
labels shown in the figure below have been applied to the Drive to ensure compliance with federal
