Medalist 17242, 13032, 10232, 8422 and 4312, Rev. A 9 Operating power and current are measured using 40 percent random seeks, 40 percent read/write mode (1 write for each 10 reads), and 20 percent drive inactive. Idle mode power is measured with the drive up to speed, with servo electronics active, and with the heads in a random track location. During Standby mode, the drive accepts commands, but the drive is not spinning, and servo and read/write electronics are in power-down mode.
10 Medalist 17242, 13032, 10232, 8422 and 4312, Rev. A 1.7.2 Conducted noise Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 80-ohm resistive load on the +12 volt line or an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5 volt line. • Using 12-volt power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 120 mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10 MHz.
Medalist 17242, 13032, 10232, 8422 and 4312, Rev. A 11 Sleep mode. The drive enters Sleep mode after receiving a Sleep command from the host. The heads are parked and the spindle is at rest. The drive leaves Sleep mode after it receives a Hard Reset or Soft Reset from the host. After receiving a reset, the drive exits Sleep mode and enters Active mode with all current translation parameters intact. Idle and Standby timers.

Medalist 17242, 13032, 10232, 8422 and 4312, Rev. A 15 1.12.3 FCC verification These drives are intended to be contained solely within a personal computer or similar enclosure (not attached as an external device). As such, each drive is considered to be a subassembly even when it is individually marketed to the customer. As a subassembly, no Federal Communications Commission verification or certification of the device is required. Seagate Technology, Inc.

A 17 2.0 Drive mounting and configuration 2.1 Handling and static-discharge precautions After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazards. Observe the following standard handling and static-discharge precautions: Caution: • Keep the drive in its static-shielded bag until you are ready to complete the installation.
18 Medalist 17242, 13032, 10232, 8422 and 4312, Rev. A be configured for cable select. To configure this drive for cable select, install a jumper as shown in Figure 2. For the master drive to recognize the slave drive using the DASP– signal, the slave drive must assert the DASP– signal at power up, and the master drive must monitor DASP– at power up. 2.2.2 Alternate capacity jumper Some older computers may “hang” if their BIOS detects a hard drive that has more than 4,092 cylinders at startup.
