1.8.6.2 Nonoperating vibration
The following table lists the maximum nonoperating vibration that the
drive may experience without incurring physical damage or degradation
in performance.
5–22 Hz 0.2-inch displacement (peak-to-peak)
22–400 Hz 4 Gs acceleration (0 to peak)
400–22 Hz 4 Gs acceleration (0 to peak)
22–5 Hz 0.2-inch displacement (peak-to-peak)
1.9 Drive acoustics
Drive acoustics are measured as sound power, using techniques that are
generally consistent with ISO document 7779. Measurements are taken
under essentially free-field conditions over a reflecting plane, using a total
of nine microphones that measure in the 250–4,000 Hz band. This method-
ology determines broad-band and narrow-band noise, and discrete fre-
quency components. For all tests, the drive is oriented with the cover facing
upward.
Mode Typical Maximum
Idle (sound power-bels) 3.5 3.8
Seek (sound power-bels) 3.8 4.1
