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 C/Hour
Altitude -300 to 3048m

Non operating conditions
Temperature -40 to 65 degrees C
Relative Humidity 5 to 95% non-condensing
Maximum Wet Bulb Temperature 35 degrees C non-condensing
Maximum Temperature Gradient 15 C/Hour
Altitude -300 to 12,000m

Note:  The system is responsible to provide sufficient air movement to maintain surface temperature below 60 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 five shocks inputs in each axis and direction for total of 30. There must be a delay between shock pulses, long enough to allow the drive to complete all necessary error recovery procedure.

No errors

5G, 11 ms half-sine shock pulse

No data loss, seek error or permanent damage

10G 11 ms half-sine shock pulse

No data loss, or permanent damage

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


Operating vibration

Due to the complexity of this subject we recommend that users contact the IBM technical Support Group representative to discuss how to perform the necessary measurements if they believe this to be an area which requires evaluation.

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 +12
Power Supply Ripple
{mV}(0-10{Mhz}P-P)
100 max 150 max
Voltage Supply Tolerance
(including ripple)
+/-5% +10%/-8%

Power Supply Current
     Start up (Peak) 0.51A 1.16A
     Idle (average) 0.23A 0.12A
     R/W (average) 0.57A 0.14A
     Seek (average) 0.41A 0.27A
     Standby 0.20A  0.01A

During the drive start up and seeking, 12 volt ripple is generated by the drive (referred to as dynamic loading). 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.
