Seagate ST3400755FC, ST3300955FC manual Effective altitude sea level, Shock and vibration

6.4.3Effective altitude (sea level)

a.Operating

–200 to +10,000 feet (–61 to +3,048 meters)

b.Non-operating

–200 to +40,000 feet (–61 to +12,210 meters)

6.4.4Shock and vibration

Shock and vibration limits specified in this document are measured directly on the drive chassis. If the drive is installed in an enclosure to which the stated shock and/or vibration criteria is applied, resonances may occur internally to the enclosure resulting in drive movement in excess of the stated limits. If this situation is apparent, it may be necessary to modify the enclosure to minimize drive movement.

The limits of shock and vibration defined within this document are specified with the drive mounted by any of the four methods shown in Figure 6, and in accordance with the restrictions of Section 8.4.

6.4.4.1Shock

a.Operating—normal

The drive, as installed for normal operation, shall operate error free while subjected to intermittent shock not exceeding 25 G at a maximum duration of 2 msec (half sinewave). Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.

b.Operating—abnormal

Equipment, as installed for normal operation, does not incur physical damage while subjected to intermit- tent shock not exceeding 40 G at a maximum duration of 11 msec (half sinewave). Shock occurring at abnormal levels may promote degraded operational performance during the abnormal shock period. Speci- fied operational performance will continue when normal operating shock levels resume. Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis. Shock is not to be repeated more than two times per second.

c.Non-operating

The limits of non-operating shock shall apply to all conditions of handling and transportation. This includes both isolated drives and integrated drives.

The drive subjected to nonrepetitive shock not exceeding 80 G at a maximum duration of 11 msec (half sin- ewave) shall not exhibit device damage or performance degradation. Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.

The drive subjected to nonrepetitive shock not exceeding 300 G at a maximum duration of 2 msec (half sin- ewave) does not exhibit device damage or performance degradation. Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.

The drive subjected to nonrepetitve shock not exceeding 150 G at a maximum duration of 0.5 msec (half sinewave) does not exhibit device damage or performance degradation. Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.

d.Packaged

Disc drives shipped as loose load (not palletized) general freight will be packaged to withstand drops from heights as defined in the table below. For additional details refer to Seagate specifications 30190-001 (under 100 lbs/45 kg) or 30191-001 (over 100 lbs/45 Kg).

Package size	Packaged/product weight	Drop height
<600 cu in (<9,800 cu cm)	Any	60 in (1524 mm)
600-1800 cu in (9,800-19,700 cu cm)	0-20 lb (0 to 9.1 kg)	48 in (1219 mm)
>1800 cu in (>19,700 cu cm)	0-20 lb (0 to 9.1 kg)	42 in (1067 mm)
>600 cu in (>9,800 cu cm)	20-40 lb (9.1 to 18.1 kg)	36 in (914 mm)
