3.3 Connections with Host System
3.3.4 SATA interface cable connection
The cable that connects the disk drive to the host system must be compliant with the Serial ATA Revision 2.6 specification.
3.3.5 Note about SATA interface cable connection
Take note of the following precaution about plugging a SATA interface cable into the SATA interface connector of the disk drive and plugging the connector into a host receptacle:
When plugging together the disk drive SATA interface connector and the host receptacle or SATA interface cable connector, do not apply more than 10 kgf of force in the connection direction once they are snugly and securely in position.
Connecting/removing the cable without releasing the SATA interface Latch may lead to connector damage and the loss of the Latch function. Accordingly, be sure to connect/remove the cable while releasing the Latch.
