Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis. Shock is not to be repeated more than once every 2 seconds.
b. Operating—abnormal
Equipment, as installed for normal operation, does not incur physical damage while subjected to intermit-
tent shock not exceeding 40 Gs at a duration of 11 msec (half sinewave). Shock occurring at abnormal lev-
els may promote degraded operational performance during the abnormal shock period. Specified
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 once every 2 seconds.
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 the three values below, shall not exhibit device
damage or performance degradation.
• 80 Gs at a duration of 11 msec (half sinewave)
• 300 Gs at a duration of 2 msec (half sinewave)
• 150 Gs at a duration of 0.5 msec (half sinewave)
Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.
d. Packaged
disk 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).
Drives packaged in single or multipacks with a gross weight of 20 pounds (8.95 kg) or less by Seagate for
general freight shipment shall withstand a drop test from 48 inches (1,070 mm) against a concrete floor or
equivalent.
