4.1 Mounting Requirements
(6) Environmental temperature
Temperature condition at installed in a cabinet is indicated with ambient temperature measured
30 mm from the HDD. At designing the system cabinet, consider following points.
• Make a suitable air flow so that the DE surface temperature never exceed 60°C.
• Cool the PCBA side especially with air circulation inside the cabinet. Confirm the cooling effect
by measuring the surface temperature of specific ICs and the DE. These measurement results
must satisfy the temperature condition listed in Table 4.1.
• Keep the DE surface temperature at 50°C or below to meet the condition for assuring an MTBF
of 1,400,000 hours. An air flow of 0.5m/s or more is required at ambient temperature 30°C.

(7) Environmental magnetic field
Do not install the HDDs in the vicinity of equipment giving off strong magnetic fields, such as
monitors, televisions, or loudspeakers.
(8) Leakage magnetic flux
Do not mount the HDDs near the devices that the leakage magnetic flux influence easily.
