RECAUTIONS
After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD) 
hazards. Observe the following standard handling and static-discharge precautions.

ONFIGURING THE 
D
RIVE
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. Both drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master) devices.
3.2.1
Serial ATA Cables and Connectors
The Serial ATA interface cable consists of four conductors in two differential pairs, plus three ground connections. The cable 
size may be 30 to 26 AWG with a maximum length of one meter (39.37 in). Refer to 
 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 
Figure 3 Attaching SATA Cabling
Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. Seagate Ultra Mobile SSHD drives support latching SATA connectors. 
CAUTION
• Keep the drive in the electrostatic discharge (ESD) bag until users are ready for installation to limit the 
drive’s exposure to ESD.
• Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground oneself frequently by touching the 
metal chassis of a computer that is plugged into a grounded outlet. Wear a grounded wrist strap 
throughout the entire installation procedure.
• Handle the drive by its edges or frame only.
• The drive is extremely fragile—handle it with care. Do not press down on the drive top cover.
• Always rest the drive on a padded, antistatic surface until users mount it in the computer.
• Do not touch the connector pins or the printed circuit board.
• Do not remove the factory-installed labels from the drive or cover them with additional labels. Removal 
voids the warranty. Some factory-installed labels contain information needed to service the drive. Other 
labels are used to seal out dirt and contamination.
