Environmental limits
Temperature and humidity values experienced by the drive must be such that condensation does not occur on
any drive part. Altitude and atmospheric pressure specifications are referenced to a standard day at 58.7°F
(14.8°C). Maximum wet bulb temperature is 82°F (28°C).
6.4.1
Temperature
a. Operating
With cooling designed to maintain the case temperature, the drive meets all specifications over a 41°F to
131°F (5°C to 55°C) drive ambient temperature range with a maximum temperature gradient of 36°F (20°C)
per hour. The enclosure for the drive should be designed such that the temperature at the location specified
in note [3] is not exceeded. Air flow may be needed to achieve these temperature values (see note [1]).
Operation at case temperatures above these values may adversely affect the drives ability to meet specifi-
cations.
The MTBF specification for the drive is based on operating in an environment that ensures that the case
temperature is not exceeded. Occasional excursions to drive ambient temperatures of 131°F (55°C) or 41°F
(5°C) may occur without impact to specified MTBF. Air flow may be needed to achieve these temperatures
(see note [1]). The maximum allowable continuous or sustained temperature for rated MTBF is 113°F
(45°C).
To confirm that the required cooling for the drive is provided, place the drive in its final mechanical configu-
ration, perform random write/read operations. After the temperatures stabilize, measure the case tempera-
ture of the HDA (see note [3]).
The maximum allowable HDA case temperature is 60°C. Operation of the drive at the maximum case tem-
perature is intended for short time periods only. Continuous operation at the elevated temperatures will
reduce product reliability.
Notes.
[1]
Section 8.2.1 describes the air-flow patterns to be used to meet HDA temperature. Air flow was oppo-
site that shown in Section 8.2.1. Air velocity should be adequate to ensure that the HDA temperature is
not exceeded during drive operation.
[2]
The temperatures in columns 1 and 2 are calculated and may not reflect actual operating values. Suffi-
cient cooling is required to ensure that these values are not exceeded.
[3]
Measure HDA temp at point labeled “HDA Temp. Check Point” on Figure 10.
b. Non-operating
–40° to 163°F (–40° to 70°C) package ambient with a maximum gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. This
specification assumes that the drive is packaged in the shipping container designed by Seagate for use with
drive.
