To determine the warranty for a specific drive, use a web browser to access the following web page: www.seagate.com/support/service/ From this page, click on the “Verify Your Warranty” link. You will be asked to provide the drive serial number, model number (or part number) and country of purchase.
Time to ready Time to ready Typical Power-on to Ready (sec) Standby to Ready (sec) Power specifications The drive receives DC power (+5V) through the interface connector. 2.9.1 Power consumption Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 9. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, at 25°C ambient temperature.
2.9.1.1 Typical current profile Figure 2. Typical 5V startup and operation current profile 2.9.2 Conducted noise Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5 volt line. Using 5-volt power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 100 mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10 MHz.
2.9.4 Power-management modes The drive provides programmable power management to provide greater energy efficiency. In most systems, you can control power management through the system setup program. The drive features the following power-management modes: Table 3: Power management modes Power modes Heads Active (operating) Tracking...
2.10 Environmental specifications 2.10.1 Ambient temperature Ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of the environment immediately surrounding the drive. Actual drive case temperature should not exceed 65°C (149°F) within the operating ambient conditions. Above 1,000 feet (305 meters), the maximum temperature is derated linearly by 1°C every 1000 feet. Operating 5°...
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 250 Gs based on half-sine shock pulses of 2 msec.
2.11 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.
Information Technology Equipment (ITE). Emission levels are defined by EN 55022, Class B and the immunity levels are defined by EN 55024. Seagate uses an independent laboratory to confirm compliance with the EC directives specified in the previous paragraph. Drives are tested in representative end-user systems. Although CE-marked Seagate drives comply with the directives when used in the test systems, we cannot guarantee that all systems will comply with the directives.
As a subassembly, no Federal Communications Commission verification or certification of the device is required. Seagate Technology LLC has tested this device in enclosures as described above to ensure that the total assembly (enclosure, disc drive, motherboard, power supply, etc.) does comply with the limits for a Class B computing device, pursuant to Subpart J, Part 15 of the FCC rules.

Configuring and mounting the drive This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive. Handling and static discharge precautions After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and electrostatic dis- charge (ESD) hazards. Observe the following standard handling and static-discharge precautions: Caution: •...
Jumper settings 3.2.1 Master/slave configuration Use the options jumper block shown in Figure 3 to configure the drive for operation. This jumper block is the 4- pin header adjacent to pins 1 and 2 of the I/O signal pins. For additional information about using the Cable select option, see Section 3.2.2.
Drive mounting You can mount the drive using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. See Figure 4 for drive mounting dimensions (dimensions in inches with mm in parentheses). Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive: •...
ATA interface These drives use the industry-standard ATA task file interface that supports 16-bit data transfers. It supports ATA programmed input/output (PIO) modes 0–4; multiword DMA modes 0–2, and Ultra DMA modes 0–5. The drive also supports the use of the IORDY signal to provide reliable high-speed data transfers. For detailed information about the ATA interface, refer to the draft of AT Attachment with Packet Interface Extension (ATA/ATAPI-6), NCITS T13 1410D, subsequently referred to as the Draft ATA-6 Standard.
4.1.1 Supported ATA commands The following table lists ATA-standard commands that the drive supports. For a detailed description of the ATA commands, refer to the Draft ATA-6 Standard.

1 = 80-conductor cable detected, CBLID above V 0 = 40-conductor cable detected, CBLID below V 4.1.3 Set Features command This command controls the implementation of various features that the drive supports. When the drive receives this command, it sets BSY, checks the contents of the Features register, clears BSY and generates an inter- rupt.
Special training or tools may be needed to service some mobile computers. In some cases, opening the case may void your warranty. Consult your system documentation. Seagate recommends taking your system to an authorized service technician to replace your hard drive.
System Compatibility Seagate Product Assurance has tested Momentus drives in the systems listed in Table 9. Testing included mul- tiple BIOS versions and operating systems. This testing was done to demonstrate compatibility with various hardware and software configurations. Hardware and software combinations, other than those tested, may also be compatible with this drive.
BIOS versions tested The following list indicates the types of BIOS Seagate tested during the compatibility testing process. The list highlights the major BIOS manufacturers. Individual systems contain variations of these BIOS versions and were tested with regard to their implementation in the individual systems.
