Installation

The following points should be noted:

All pins are in a single row, with a 1.27 mm (.050”) pitch.

•The comments on the mating sequence apply to the case of backplane blindmate connector only. In this case, the mating sequences are: (1) the ground pins P4 and P12; (2) the pre-charge power pins and the other ground pins; and (3) the signal pins and the rest of the power pins.

•There are three power pins for each voltage. One pin from each voltage is used for precharge in the backplane blind-mate situation.

•If a device uses 5.0 V, then all V5 pins must be terminated. Otherwise, it is optional to terminate any of the V5 pins.

•If a device uses 12.0 V, then all V12 pins must be terminated. Otherwise, it is optional to terminate any of the V12 pins.

3.4ATA Bus Interface Connector (J1, Section C)

On the QuickView Serial ATA hard disk drives, the Serial ATA bus interface cable connector (J1, section C) is a standard 7-pin Serial ATA. See Figure 3-4.

To prevent the possibility of incorrect installation, the connector has been keyed. This ensures that a connector cannot be installed upside down.

3.5MOUNTING

Drive mounting orientation, clearance, and ventilation requirements are described in the following subsections.

3.5.1Orientation

The mounting holes on the QuickView Serial ATA hard disk drives allow the drive to be mounted in any orientation. Figure 3-5and Figure 3-6show the location of the three mounting holes on each side of the drive. The drive can also be mounted using the four mounting hole locations on the PCB side of the drive. Mounting dimensions are shown in Figure 3-6.

Note: It is highly recommended that the drive is hard mounted on to the chassis of the system being used for general operation, as well as for test purposes. Failure to hard mount the drive can result in erroneous errors during testing.

Drives can be mounted in any orientation. Normal position is with the PCB facing down.

All dimensions are in millimeters. For mounting, #6-32 UNC screws are recommended.
