Figure 2 Attaching SATA cabling

Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. Desktop SSHD drives support latching SATA connectors. 

You can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the 
bottom-mounting holes. Refer to 

 and 

 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important 

mounting precautions when mounting the drive:

• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 inches (0.76mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.

• Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws.

• The screws should be inserted no more than 0.150 inch (3.81mm) into the bottom or side mounting holes.

• Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 6 inch-lb).
