This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive.

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:

Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects point-to-point with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave 
relationship because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point relationship. 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.

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). 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, users can connect the drive as illustrated in 
Figure 8.

Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD Serial ATA drives support latching SATA 
connectors. 

Users can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side-mounting 
holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. See Figure 10 and 11 for drive 
mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting 
the drive:

• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 in (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 in (3.81mm) into the bottom or side 

mounting holes.

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

• Do not cover breather hole on top cover.

• 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 mounting 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 war-

ranty. Some factory-installed labels contain information needed to service the drive. Other labels are used to seal out 
dirt and contamination.
