7.0 Physical/electrical specifications
7.1 AC power requirements: None
7.2 DC Power requirements
The voltage and current requirements for a single drive are shown in the following table. Values indicated
apply at the drive power connector.
Table 7.2-1. DC power requirements

[1] Measured with average reading DC ammeter. Instantaneous +12 V current peaks will exceed these
values.
[2] A -10% tolerance is permissible during power up. 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] See +12 V current profile level T6 in Figure 7.2.2-1.
[4] This condition occurs when the Motor Start Option is enabled and the drive has not yet received a Start
Motor command.
[5] See paragraph 7.2.1 “Conducted Noise Immunity”.
[6] Instantaneous peaks less than 5 msec. in duration are allowed.

General Notes from Table 7.2-1:
1. At powerup, the motor current regulator limits the 12 volt current to a peak value of less than 2.0
amperes, although instantaneous peaks may exceed this value. These peaks should measure 5 msec.
duration or less.
2. Operating condition is defined as Random Seek Reads of 64 blocks.
3. Minimum current loading for each supply voltage is not less than 30% of the maximum operating current
shown.
4. The +5 and +12 volt supplies shall employ separate ground returns.
5. Where power is provided to multiple drives from a common supply, careful consideration for individual
drive power requirements should be noted. Where multiple units are powered on simultaneously, the
peak starting current must be available to each device.
