Power Supply
The tape drive operates from standard +5 VDC and +12
VDC supply voltages; it does not use external AC power.
Safety agency certification requires that the supplied voltage
be from a Safety Extra-Low Voltage source (per IEC 950).
CAUTION
The tape drive does not provide any overvoltage or
overcurrent protection. For this reason, be sure that
the power is off before connecting the tape drive to
power.
Table 6 lists the power specifications for the single-ended
and differential configurations of the tape drive.

Power Connector
The power connector used in the tape drive is compatible
with power connectors used for standard 5.25-inch devices.
To connect the tape drive to a power cable, use an AMP
1-480424-0 series or equivalent female connector. For
information about the specific power connector pin
assignments, refer to the EXB-8205 and EXB-8505 Product
Specification.
