Sleep mode. The drive enters Sleep mode after receiving a Sleep
command from the host. The heads are parked and the spindle is at rest.
The drive leaves Sleep mode after it receives a Hard Reset or Soft Reset
from the host. After receiving a reset, the drive exits Sleep mode and
enters Active mode with all current translation parameters intact.
Idle and Standby timers. Each time the drive performs an Active
function (read, write or seek), the standby timer is reinitialized and begins
counting down from its specified delay times to zero. If the standby timer
reaches zero before any drive activity is required, the drive makes a
transition to Standby mode. In both Idle and Standby mode, the drive
accepts all commands and returns to Active mode when disc access is
necessary.

1.8 Environmental tolerances

1.8.1 Ambient temperature

Operating 5° to 55°C (41° to 131°F)
Nonoperating –40° to 70°C (–40° to 158°F)
Note. Above 1,000 feet (305 meters), the maximum temperature is
derated linearly to 112°F (44°C) at 10,000 feet (3,048 meters).
Operating ambient temperature is defined as the temperature of
the environment immediately surrounding the drive.
