Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, at 25°C ambient temperature. •...
  • Page 14: Deferred Spinup

    Out-Of-Band (OOB) signals with a functional host-side Serial ATA port. In desktop systems, SATA transceivers should initialize OOB as soon as power comes ready to guarantee the drive spins up quickly. Seagate disc drives will not spin up without an operational host-side Serial ATA transceiver. LD25 Series SATA Product Manual, Rev. C...
  • Page 15: Conducted Noise

    Additional details Upon system power up, PHY communication is initiated with a COMRESET signal, which is generated by the host-side transceiver. COMRESET is followed by a COMINIT signal generated by the disc drive transceiver. COMRESET and COMINIT are followed by an exchange of COMWAKE signals and Align primitives. The disc drive will spin up after the successful exchange of Align primitives cause the PHY to come ready.
  • Page 16 • Standby mode The drive enters Standby mode when the host sends a Standby Immediate command. If the host has set the standby timer, the drive can also enter Standby mode automatically after the drive has been inactive for a specifiable length of time.
  • Page 17: Environmental Specifications

    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°...
  • Page 18: Shock

    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 100 Gs based on half-sine shock pulses of 2 msec.
  • Page 19: Acoustics

    2.11 Acoustics Drive acoustics are measured as overall A-weighted acoustic sound power levels. All measurements are con- sistent 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.

    Configuring the drive Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave relationship because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point relationships. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system views the two devices as if they were both “masters”...
