6.6.4.2
Vibration
a. Operating—normal
The drive as installed for normal operation, shall comply with the complete specified performance while subjected to continuous
vibration not exceeding
5 - 22 Hz
0.25 Gs, limited displacement
22 - 350 Hz
0.5 Gs
350 - 500 Hz
0.25 Gs
Vibration may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.
b. Operating—abnormal
Equipment as installed for normal operation shall not incur physical damage while subjected to periodic vibration not exceeding:
15 minutes of duration at major resonant frequency
Vibration occurring at these levels may degrade operational performance during the abnormal vibration period. Specified
operational performance will continue when normal operating vibration levels are resumed. This assumes system recovery
routines are available.
Operating abnormal translational random flat profile
5-500 Hz @ 0.75 G (X, Y, or Z axis)
c. Non-operating
The limits of non-operating vibration shall apply to all conditions of handling and transportation. This includes both isolated
drives and integrated drives.
The drive shall not incur physical damage or degraded performance as a result of continuous vibration not exceeding.
.
Vibration may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.
6.6.5
Acoustics
Sound power during idle mode shall be 2.8 bels typical when measured to ISO 7779 specification.
Sound power while operating shall be 3.0 bels typical when measured to ISO 7779 specification.
There will not be any discrete tones more than 9 dB above the masking noise when measured according to
Seagate specification 30553-001.
6.6.6
Air cleanliness
The drive is designed to operate in a typical office environment with minimal environmental control.
6.6.7
Corrosive environment
Seagate electronic drive components pass accelerated corrosion testing equivalent to 10 years exposure to light industrial environments
containing sulfurous gases, chlorine and nitric oxide, classes G and H per ASTM B845. However, this accelerated testing cannot duplicate every
potential application environment.
Users should use caution exposing any electronic components to uncontrolled chemical pollutants and corrosive chemicals as electronic drive
component reliability can be affected by the installation environment. The silver, copper, nickel and gold films used in hard disk drives are especially
sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. Materials used in cabinet
fabrication, such as vulcanized rubber, that can outgas corrosive compounds should be minimized or eliminated. The useful life of any electronic
equipment may be extended by replacing materials near circuitry with sulfide-free alternatives.
Seagate recommends that data centers be kept clean by monitoring and controlling the dust and gaseous contamination. Gaseous contamination
should be within ANSI/ISA S71.04-2013 G2 classification levels (as measured on copper and silver coupons), and dust contamination to ISO 14644-1
Class 8 standards, and MTBF rated conditions as defined in the Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) section.
