DC power requirements
 
The following voltage specifications apply at the drive power connector. Damage to the drive electronics may result if the power supply cable is connected or disconnected while power is being applied to the drive (No hot plug/unplug is allowed). There are inductive loads in the drive which could cause destructively high voltage spikes on the drive if the power connection is opened. There is no special power on/off sequencing required.

Nominal supply voltages +5 Volts +12 Volts
Maximum ripple (0-10 MHz) 100mV p-p 150mV p-p
Voltage supply tolerance (including ripple) +/-5% +10%/-8%

Power supply current (Amps)
     Start peak 0.50 0.52
     Idle average 0.18 0.14
     R/W average 0.49 0.17

During the drive start up and seeking, 12 volt ripple is generated by the drive (referred to as dynamic load-ing). If several drives have their power daisy chained together, then the power supply ripple plus other drive's dynamic loading must remain within the regulation tolerance of +10/-8%. A common supply with separate power leads to each drive is a more desirable method of power distribution.

To prevent external electrical noise from interfering with the drive's performance, the drive must be held by four screws in a user system frame which has no electrical level deference at the four screws position, and has less than +/-300 millivolts peak to peak level deference to the drive power connector ground.


Operating environment

Operating conditions
Temperature  5 to 55 degrees C*
Relative humidity 8 to 90% non-condensing
Maximum wet bulb temperature 29.4 degrees C non-condensing
Maximum temperature gradient 15 degrees C/Hour
Altitude -300 to 3000m

Non-operating conditions
Temperature (shipping) -40 to 65 degrees C
Temperature (storage) 0 to 65 degrees C
Relative humidity 5 to 95% non-condensing
Maximum wet bulb temperature 35 degrees C non-condensing
Altitude  -300 to 12,000m

Note:
The system is responsible to provide sufficient air movement to maintain surface temperature below 60 degrees C at the center of top cover of the drive.

Operating shock

The hard disk drive meets the following criteria while operating in respective conditions described below. The shock test consists of ten shocks inputs in each axis and direction for total of 60. There must be a delay between shock pulses, long enough to allow the drive to complete all necessary error recovery procedure.

No errors

5 G, 11ms half-sine shock pulse.

No data loss, seek errors or permanent damage

10 G, 11ms half-sine shock pulse.

No data loss or permanent damage

15 G, 5ms half-sine shock pulse
30 G, 4ms half-sine shock pulse
