SimpleTech ZeusIOPS manual Electrostatic Discharge ESD, ESD Requirements

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)

The SSDs will meet the ESD limits specified in the 61000-4-2 guidelines and the customer’s enhanced ESD procedure. The specification will determine whether the contact or air discharge method should be used. Performance degradation is defined as a decreased throughput rate. No data errors are allowed. Table 43 lists the ESD requirements.

	Table 43.	ESD Requirements
	Climatic Conditions
Ambient Temperature	15oC to 35oC
Relative Humidity	30% to 60%
Atmospheric Pressure	86kPa (860 millibar) to 106 kPa (1,060 millibar)
Voltage Level	Discharge Type		Pass/Fail Performance Criteria
+/-2 kV	Contact		A
+/-4 kV	Contact		B
+/-6 kV	Contact		B
+/-8 kV	Contact		C
+/-2 kV	Air		A
+/-4 kV	Air		A
+/-8 kV	Air		B
+/-12 kV	Air		B
+/-15 kV	Air		C

ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA DEFINITIONS

The following table lists the acceptance criteria definitions for the ESD limits.

Table 44. Acceptance Criteria Definitions

AThe apparatus will continue to operate as intended, i.e., normal unit operation with no degradation of performance.

The apparatus will continue to operate as intended after completion of the test. However,

Bduring the test, some degradation of performance is allowed, provided there is no data lost or operator intervention to restore apparatus function.

CTemporary loss of function is allowed. Operator intervention is acceptable to restore apparatus function.

Note: Hardware failures are not acceptable for any level of the above performance criteria.
