7.0 Electrical Interface
7.1 FC-AL Connector
The drive conforms to SFF specifications 8045, 8067 and 8451. The SFF 8045/8067 documents defines the electrical specifi-
cation and SFF-8451 defines the mechanical specification. The only difference between SFF-8045 and SFF-8067 is the
Enclosure Service Interface. The drive will 'discover' the level of Enclosure Service Interface supported by the enclosure, and
use the proper level for enclosure communication. This 'discovery' process is defined in the SFF-8067 specification.

The connector is expected to be used in an environment which uses a common connector structure for racking disk drives in a
cabinet. The connector allows for plugging a drive directly into a backplane by providing the necessary electrical connection.
Mechanical stability and device retention must be provided by a mechanism outside the drive.
