Configuring the drive
Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host 
adapter. There is no master/slave relationship because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point 
relationships. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system views the 
two devices as if they were both “masters” on two separate ports. This means both drives behave as if they are 
Device 0 (master) devices.
Serial ATA drives are designed for easy installation with no jumpers, terminators, or other settings. It is not nec-
essary to set any jumpers on this drive for proper operation. The jumper block adjacent to the signal connector 
is for factory use only.

Serial ATA cables and connectors
The Serial ATA interface cable consists of four conductors in two differential pairs, plus three ground connec-
tions. The cable size may be 30 to 26 AWG with a maximum length of one meter (39.37 inches). See Table 7
for connector pin definitions. Either end of the SATA signal cable can be attached to the drive or host.
For direct backplane connection, the drive connectors are inserted directly into the host receptacle. The drive 
and the host receptacle incorporate features that enable the direct connection to be hot pluggable and blind 
mateable.
For installations which require cables, you can connect the drive as illustrated in Figure 3.
