Conducted noise immunity
Noise is specified as a periodic and random distribution of frequencies covering a band from DC to 10 MHz.
Maximum allowed noise values given below are peak-to-peak measurements and apply at the drive connector.

6.2.2
Power sequencing
The drive does not require power sequencing. The drive protects against inadvertent writing during power-up
and down.

Power is applied to the drive.
T1
Controller self-tests are performed.
T2
Spindle begins to accelerate under current limiting after performing internal diagnostics.
T3
Spindle is up to speed and the head and arm restraint is unlocked.
Note: All times and currents are typical. See Table 1 for maximum current requirements.

Power dissipation
Typical seek power dissipation is 23.3 watts (79.4 BTUs per hour) of DC power average at nominal voltages.
Typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 17.1 watts (58.4 BTUs per hour).
