2.10.5
Shock
All shock specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input shock applied at the drive
mounting screws. Shock may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis.
2.10.5.1
Operating shock
These drives comply with the performance levels specified in this document when subjected to a maximum
operating shock of 63 Gs based on half-sine shock pulses of 2 msec. Shocks should not be repeated more
than two times per second.
2.10.5.2
Nonoperating shock
The nonoperating shock level that the drive can experience without incurring physical damage or degradation
in performance when subsequently put into operation is 350 Gs based on a nonrepetitive half-sine shock pulse
of 2 msec duration.
2.10.6
Vibration
All vibration specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input vibration applied at the
drive mounting screws. Vibration may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis.
2.10.6.1
Operating vibration
The following table lists the maximum vibration levels that the drive may experience while meeting the perfor-
mance standards specified in this document.
5–350 Hz
1.0 G acceleration (zero to peak)
2.10.6.2
Nonoperating vibration
The following table lists the maximum nonoperating vibration that the drive may experience without incurring
physical damage or degradation in performance when subsequently put into operation.
5–22 Hz
1.0-inch displacement (zero to peak)
22–350 Hz
5.0 Gs acceleration (zero to peak)

Acoustics
Drive acoustics are measured as overall A-weighted acoustic sound power levels (no pure tones). All mea-
surements are consistent with ISO document 7779. Sound power measurements are taken under essentially
free-field conditions over a reflecting plane. For all tests, the drive is oriented with the cover facing upward.
Note. For seek mode tests, the drive is placed in seek mode only. The number of seeks per second is defined
by the following equation:
(Number of seeks per second = 0.4 / (average latency + average access time)
