2.9.5 Shock
All shock specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input shock applied at the drive
mounting screws. Shock may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis.
2.9.5.1 Operating shock
These drives comply with the performance levels specified in this document when subjected to a maximum
operating shock of 63 Gs based on half-sine shock pulses of 2 msec. Shocks should not be repeated more
than two times per second.
2.9.5.2 Nonoperating shock
The nonoperating shock level that the drive can experience without incurring physical damage or degradation
in performance when subsequently put into operation is 300 Gs for 500 GB drives and 350 Gs for 250 and 160
GB drives, 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.
2.9.6.1 Operating vibration
The maximum vibration levels that the drive may experience while meeting the performance standards speci-
fied in this document are specified below.
2.9.6.2 Nonoperating vibration
The following table lists the maximum nonoperating vibration that the drive may experience without incurring
physical damage or degradation in performance when subsequently put into operation.
5–22 Hz +/-0.25”, Displacement limited
22–350 Hz 0.50 Gs
350–500 Hz 0.25 Gs
5–22 Hz 0.25 G (Limited displacement)
22–350 Hz 5.0 Gs
350–500 Hz 1.0 Gs
