Does anyone have any suggestions on how to best measure temperature of hard
drive critical components?
I am working from a more macro level, assembling hard drives into swappable
sleds in electronic enclosures. Enclosure design may or may not be
providing sufficient air flow past the hard drive HDA, and other chips
commonly identified as U14, U5, etc.
I am duct-taping stiff thermocouple wires onto the chip outer surfaces, and
flipping the drive over and mounting it onto a sled (the thermocouples and
exposed chips are wrapped by my metal sled). I'm then taking the other end
of the wires, and with K connections, using a Fluke 52.
Duct tape is horrendous for a thousand reasons.
Adhesive with activator won't hold the stiff wire tip in place long enough
to cure.
I'm looking into thermocouple wires with self-adhesive tabs.
Any added suggestions I'd greatly appreciate.
Thank you,
Sandra Davis
