This current measurement determines the stated power and maximum heat dissipation of the Drive (546 BTU/hr) based on RMS
current over the 10S cycle derated by the Power Factor. It also determines the 2.0 A UL plate rating.
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.

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
regulations and must not be removed from the LF 8600.

SCSI BUS CONSIDERATIONS
The length of the SCSI interface cables used to interconnect the LF 8600 with other SCSI devices is
dictated by the type of SCSI controller installed in each LF 8600. A maximum of seven LF 8600's can be
connected to a host computer in a daisy chained configuration using the appropriate SCSI controller and
cable options.
When the single-ended interface controller is used on all SCSI devices, the total length of the SCSI
interface cable cannot exceed 6 m (19.5 ft). (Plasmon LMS does not recommend single-ended fast
synchronous.) When a differential interface controller is used on all SCSI devices, the total SCSI interface
cable length cannot exceed 25 m (82 ft).
NOTE
The internal SCSI cable for each LF 8600 is approximately 22.86 cm
(9.0 in.). This distance must be considered as part of the total SCSI
cable length.
The SCSI interface cabling used to interconnect an LF 8600 to a host can be daisy chained between SCSI
devices as illustrated below. One interface cable is required to interface each pair of SCSI devices.

Figure 25. Host-to-LF 8600 Daisy Chain Cable Connections
A terminator must be installed on the vacant connector of the last SCSI device in the SCSI bus chain. The
SCSI bus must be terminated externally on the LF 8600 rear panel when an LF 8600 is the last SCSI
device on the bus.
PLASMON L M S - LF 8600 USER MANUAL
Page 46
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
NOTE
You must first determine the type of termination your host system
requires.
In a daisy chain configuration, a terminator must be used on both the first and last devices on the bus.
One of these devices may be the host adapter. All other LF 8600's between the first and last device in the
daisy chain should not be terminated.
NOTE
Installation of both an active single-ended terminator and a passive
single-ended terminator on the same bus is not recommended.
If only one LF 8600 is attached to a host, the bus must be terminated at the host adapter and the LF 8600.
Normally, the termination function is built into the host adapter. Power for the external terminator is
supplied from the LF 8600 and may also be supplied from another device in the SCSI daisy chain.
Terminator power for external terminators is provided by the LF 8600 power supply.

CONNECTING POWER AND SCSI CABLES
After the LF 8600 has been installed in its operating location, refer to the next three sections for power cord
installation and SCSI cable installation for a single device.
The LF 8600 has two SCSI input/output (I/O) connectors on the rear panel that are used to interface the
drive with other SCSI devices (see figure below). Either SCSI connector can be used as the input or output
port because the internal controller cable connection is common to both connectors.

MEDIA INSERTION AND REMOVAL
Individual media cartridges are inserted and removed through the front panel media access door. When
fully closed, the door is held by magnetic contacts. A safety switch prevents operation of the shuttle if the
door is open. When the door is opened and closed, the drive tests the six slots to determine which slots
have media cartridges present.
The door is automatically locked by a electrical safety lock when the drive begins operation. An
independent manual key lock, located in the bezel assembly, provides an additional locking method for
preventing unauthorized media access.
Operator access to the media requires the shuttle to be in the home position. The home shuttle position
squarely aligns all six cartridge slots with the media access door as illustrated in the next figure.

the drive. This will create high temperatures in the LF 8600 which may
shorten the life of the drive.
Perform the following procedure to clean the Filter Elements:
1. Set the drive's AC power switch to the OFF ( O ) position and verify that the fan and blower
have stopped running.
2. Remove each Outer Grill Half by grasping its sides and pulling it away from the chassis.
3. Remove each Filter Element by pulling it away from the inside of the Grill.
4. Wash the Filter Element in warm soapy water.
5. Rinse the Element thoroughly and let it air dry.
6. Re-install the Filter Element in the Outer Grill Half.
7. Replace the Outer Grill Half by snapping it onto the inner Grill

HINWEIS
Nach Ausschalten des Stroms muß die Bedienperson 1 Sekunde
warten, bevor der Strom wieder eingeschaltet werden darf.
WECHSELSTROMERDUNG
Um einen sicheren Betrieb zu gewährleisten, muß das Gehäuse des LF 8600 geerdet sein. Das
Wechselstromkabel enthält eine Erdleitung, die das Gehäuse des LF 8600 durch die
Wechselstromversorgung des Standorts an Sicherheitserde legt. Die Wechselstromversorgung des
Standorts wiederum muß diese Erdung an einen Erdanschluß legen. Alle Wechselstromverbindungen am
Standort müssen denselben Erdanschluß verwenden.
Ein Erdanschlußteil an der Geräterückseite (vgl. Abschnitt 2.2.) kann ebenfalls dazu verwendet werden,
den LF 8600 an einen Erdanschluß zu legen. Dieser Erdanschlußteil ist ein 6 mm M4-Bolzen mit Mutter
und Sicherungsscheibe.
KIPPTOLERANZ
Ermöglicht den Kippbetrieb von der waagrechten Stellung.
WÄRMEAUSSTRAHLUNG
Das Laufwerk weist während eines Schreib-Lese-Vorgangs eine typische Wärmeabgabe von 146 kcal/h
(BTU/h) auf. Wenn Datenträgerkassetten mit der Maximalgeschwindigkeit des Laufwerks eingelegt,
geladen, eingeschaltet, ausgeschaltet, entladen und entfernt werden, weist der LF 8600 eine typische
Wärmeabgabe von 182 kcal/h (725 BTU/h) auf.
GRENZWERTE FÜR DIE STAUBKONZENTRATION
Der LF 8600 ist für den Betrieb in einem Büro- oder Computerraum konstruiert.Die Umgebung muß
niedrige Staubwerte aufweisen.
Der LF 8600 filtert die eingehende Luft, um die Menge an Feststoffteilchen, die in das Laufwerk eintreten,
zu vermindern. Dieser Filter ist jedoch gegen kleine Teilchen (dazu gehört auch Tabakrauch), die sich auf
den Datenträgern und optischen Komponenten absetzen, nicht effektiv, was eine Verschlechterung der
Laufwerksleistung zur Folge hätte.
WARNHINWEISE
Der LF 8600 ist als Lasergerät eingestuft. Als solches unterliegt es den US-amerikanischen
Anforderungen an Lasergeräte. Die in Abbildung 6 dargestellten Warnhinweise sind gemäß
Bundesverordnungen erforderlich und dürfen nicht vom LF 8600 entfernt werden.
