6.0Physical/electrical specifications

This section provides information relating to the physical and electrical characteristics of the Barracuda 36ES2 drive.

6.1AC power requirements

None.

6.2DC power requirements

The voltage and current requirements for a single drive are shown in the following table. Values indicated apply at the drive power connector. The table shows current values in Amperes.

[1]Measured with average reading DC ammeter or equivalent sampling scope. Instantaneous current peaks will exceed these values. Power supply at nominal voltage. Number of units tested = 6 at ambient.

[2]For +12 V, a –10% tolerance is permissible during initial start of spindle, and must return to ±5% before 7,200 rpm is reached. The ±5% must be maintained after the drive signifies that its power-up sequence has been completed and that the drive is able to accept selection by the host initiator.

[3]See +12 V current profile in Figure 2.

[4]This condition occurs when the Motor Start Option is enabled and the drive has not yet received a Start Motor command.

[5]See Section 6.2.1 “Conducted Noise Immunity.” Specified voltage tolerance is inclusive of ripple, noise, and transient response.

[6]Operating condition is defined as 8 random block reads at 133 I/Os per second. Current and power spec- ified at nominal voltages. Decreasing +5 volts by 5% increases +5 volt current by 4%.

[7]During idle, the drive heads are relocated every 60 seconds to a random location within the band from track zero to one-fourth of maximum track.

General Notes from Table 2:

1.Minimum current loading for each supply voltage is not less than 1.5% of the maximum operating current shown.

2.The +5 and +12 volt supplies shall employ separate ground returns.

3.Where power is provided to multiple drives from a common supply, careful consideration for individual drive power requirements should be noted. Where multiple units are powered on simultaneously, the peak starting current must be available to each device.

4.Parameters, other than spindle start, are measured after a 10-minute warm up.

5.No terminator power.
