For drives using single-ended interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 10.0 watts
(34.12 BTUs per hour).
For drives using low voltage differential interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 10.0
watts (34.12 BTUs per hour).
To obtain operating power for typical random read operations, refer to the following two I/O rate curves (see
Figures 8). Locate the typical I/O rate for a drive in your system on the horizontal axis and read the correspond-
ing +5 volt current, +12 volt current, and total watts on the vertical axis. To calculate BTUs per hour, multiply
watts by 3.4123.

6.4 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 85°F (29.4°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 68°F (20°C)
per hour. The enclosure for the drive should be designed such that the temperatures are not exceeded. Air
flow may be needed to achieve these temperature values (see Section 8.3). Operation at case tempera-
tures above these values may adversely affect the drives ability to meet specifications.
The MTBF specification for the drive is based on operating in an environment that ensures that the case
temperatures specified are 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. The maximum allowable continuous or sustained HDA case temperatures for rated MTBF is
122°F (50°C).
To confirm that the required cooling for the HDA 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 drive.
