ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS

POWER SUPPLY

The following voltage specification applies to the drive power connector. Connections to the drive should be made in a safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuit.

The drive does not use the +5V supply input pins available on a typical 40-Pin SCA-2 connector. The drive uses the +12V supply input. The 5V ground pins are connected to the common ground plane within the unit.

Adequate secondary over-current protection must be incorporated in the host system (drive enclosure, backplane, etc.). A 10 amp limit is required for safety purposes.

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the drive, power supply voltage transients must not exceed 16 volts.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

The ZeusIOPS 3.5-inch Fibre Channel SSD requires a 12V +/-10% DC power source. If a power failure occurs, the drive design ensures that the data contained in the storage memory is preserved. Data loss or corruption does not occur.
