7.1.1 Temperature Measurement Points

The following isa list of measurement points and their temperatures (maximum and reliability). Maximum
temperatures must not be exceeded at the worst case drive a nd system operating conditions with the drive
randomly seeking, reading and writing. Reliability temperatures must not be exceeded at the nominal drive
and system operating conditions with the drive randomly seeking, reading, an d writing.
There must be significant air flow through the drive so that the casting and module temperature limits define
in Table 15are no t exceeded. Figure 22on page 78 defines where measurements should be made to deter-
mine the top casting temperature during drive operation. Figure 23 on page 79 identify the module
locations on the bottom side of the card and the measurement location on the bottom of the casting.
