ST43400N/ND User’s Manual v • Do not remove the head and disc assembly (HDA) from the drive chassis. Return the entire drive for depot repair if the HDA is defective. • Do not attempt to disassemble the HDA. It is not field repairable. If the sealed HDA is opened by personnel not performing depot repair, this will damage components and void the warranty. As a component, this drive is designed to be installed and operated in accordance with UL1950, IEC950, EN60950, CSA C22.2 950, and VDE0806. Ref

1 Section 1. General description The Seagate ST43400N/ND Elite 3 disc drives are high speed, random access digital data storage devices. They communicate with an initiator using the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI). The drive is shown in Figure 1, and its specifications are listed in Table 1 on the following page. The drive is a component for installation in an enclosure designed for the drive. The enclosure design must ensure adequate cooling for the drive, and it must address the require

4 The drive contains all the circuits and mechanical devices necessary to record data on and recover it from its discs. The drive requires DC voltage input from an external power supply, which receives its AC input power from the site main power source. A power supply and DC power cable are available accessories. The drive consists of a head and disc assembly (HDA) and two circuit boards, mounted on a common chassis. The circuit boards contain the electronics required for drive operation. The HD

8 Airflow requirements The enclosure design must ensure adequate cooling for the drive. Note that the fan in the power supply cools only the power supply’s internal parts. The drive’s product specification (document 64403601) describes how to evaluate the airflow design. The evaluation consists of ensuring that the case temperatures of certain critical components remain within acceptable limits during drive operation. We recommend orienting the drive or directing the airflow in a way that create
