[1]Measured with an average reading DC ammeter. Instanta- neous +12V current peaks will exceed these values.

[2]A –10% droop is permissible during initial start of the spindle but must return to ±5% before reaching 7,200 RPM. 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]For +12V current profile information, call Seagate technical support services.

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