+12 Volt supply
   +\- 5.0% (during run)
   - 7.0% + 5.0% (during spin-up)

R/W power         average      11.99 watts    .496 amps

Note: The file automatically goes into standby after 3 seconds of idle. There is no additional command overhead incurred when coming out of standby. The spindle motor is not shut off during standby.

Note: The current at start is the total 12 volt current required (ie, the motor start current, module current and voice coil retract current).

Operating environment

The drive operates within its' performance limits when the following environment is maintained. Product life calculations are based on the no environment for a typical application.

Humidity:
Operating                5% to 90% noncondensing
Storage                  5% to 95% noncondensing
Shipping                 5% to 100%
(applies at a packaged level)

Wet Bulb Temperature:
Operating                80 degrees F (26.7 degrees C) maximum
Shipping/Storage         85 degrees F (29.4 degrees C) maximum

Elevation:
Operating                -1000 to 10000 feet
                         (-304 to 3048 meters)
Shipping/Storage         -1000 to 40000 feet
                         (-304 to 12912 meters)

Temperature:
Operating ambient        41 to 131 degrees F (5 to 55 degrees C)
Operating casting        41 to 140 degrees F (5 to 60 degrees C)
temperature
Shipping                 -40 to 149 degrees F (-40 to 65 degrees C)
Storage                  34 to 149 degrees F (1.1 to 65 degrees C)

Temperature Gradient:
Operating                18 degrees F (10 degrees C) per hour
Shipping/Storage         below condensation
These temperature limits are extremely important and must not be exceeded at the worst case drive and system operating conditions with the drive randomly seeking, reading, and writing.

Ripple

Externally generated ripple as seen at drive connector:

Voltage       Maximum                 Notes

+5 VDC         100 mV peak-to-peak        0-10 MHz
+12 VDC        150 mV peak-to-peak        0-10 MHz
During 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 window of +\- 5%. A common drive supply with separate power leads to each drive is a more desirable method of power distribution.

The file's mounting holes are electrically isolated from the file's disk enclosure. The disk enclosure is not a ground potential; therefore, any user mounting scheme must not result in the disk enclosure being shorted to ground.

Note: Hot plugging is not supported.

Start and stop times

Time          Nominal              Maximum
Power-up        2.0 sec                2.4 sec
Start-up        15 sec                 30 sec
Spin-up         6.7 sec                15 sec
Stop time       9.0 sec                12.5 sec
Start-up sequence
Bring-up sequence times and stop times

Notes:
  1. BATS is the abbreviation for basic assurance tests. Start-up sequence spins up the spindle motor, uploads code, performs BATS2 (verifies read/write hardware), resume "Reassign in Progress" operations, and more. 

  2. If a reset is issued before the drive comes ready the power on sequence will start again. In all other cases when a reset is issued the present state of the motor is not altered.
