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

Operating shock
The hard disk drive will meet the following criteria while operating in the respective conditions described below. There must be a delay between shock pulses, long enough to allow the drive to complete all necessary error recovery procedures.

Criteria                    Condition
No errors                   5 G, 11 ms half-sine shock pulse
No data loss, seek errors
  or permanent damage       10 G, 11 ms half-sine shock pulse

No data loss or             15 G, 5 ms half-sine shock pulse
  permanent damage          30 G, 4 ms half-sine shock pulse

Non operating shock
The drive will withstand without damage or degradation of performance, a 75 G half-sine wave shock pulse of 11 ms duration when heads are parked. When power is not applied to the unit, the heads are automatically located in the parked position. The above specification is for shocks applied in each direction of the drives' three mutually perpendicular axis, one axis at a time.

Operating vibration
Due to the complexity of this subject we recommend that users contact the IBM Hard Disk Drive Technical Support group representative to discuss how to perform the necessary measurements.

DC power requirement

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 is no special power on/off sequencing required.

Input voltage

+5 volts supply       5V (+/-5% during run and spin up)1
+12 volts supply      12V (+10%, -8% during run and spin up)2

1To avoid damage to the file electonics 5V, power supply voltage spikes must not exceed 7V.
2To avoid damages to the file electronics 12V, power supply voltage spikes must not exceed 15V.

2Seek duty = 30%, W/R duty = 45%, idle duty = 25%.

Power supply generated ripple as seen at the drive's power connector.

                         Maximum     Notes
+5V DC                   100 mV pp   0-10 MHz
+12V DC                  150 mV pp   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 the ripple from 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 difference at the four screws position, and has less than +/-300 mV peak to peak level difference to the drive's power connector ground.
