Test description
Unit is dropped on each of the 4 edges of the base of the product on a
typically used bench surface.
Operating mode: Each edge is dropped 25 times at 10-second intervals,
from a height of 7 cm.
Nonoperating mode: Each edge is dropped 50 times at 10-second intervals,
from a height of 10 cm.
Unit external contacts, connectors, and screws are subjected to 5 discharges
per polarity per kV, first with no external power and second with external
power, and then with peripherals.
At ± 4kV: No noticeable effects
At ± 8kV: No data or program loss; unit reboots, resets
At ± 15kV: No component failure (hard error)
Unit is operating, accessing disk.
Removable hard drive is checked after the drive is dropped onto a typical
bench surface from a height of 5 cm, 25 times, with a time interval of
5 seconds between drops.
Drive is tested while removed from unit and therefore is nonoperating.
