The drives comply with the performance levels specified in this document when subjected to a maximum oper-
ating shock of 70 Gs (Read) and 30 Gs (Write) based on half-sine shock pulses of 2 msec. Shocks should not
be repeated more than two times per second.
2.9.5.2 Non-operating shock
The non-operating shock level that the drive can experience without incurring physical damage or degradation
in performance when subsequently put into operation is 350 Gs based on a nonrepetitive half-sine shock pulse
of 2 msec duration.
2.9.6 Vibration
All vibration specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input vibration applied at the
drive mounting screws. Vibration may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis.
