3.2Breather filter hole precautions

This section contains information regarding the precautions to take with the breather filter hole in Seagate hard disc drives. Take the proper precautions to ensure full functionality and to prevent possible damage to the drive.

Breather hole

Do not cover or seal this hole.

Figure 3. Breather filter hole location

Caution: Do not cover, seal, or insert any object into this hole.

This hole has two purposes:

•To allow condensation inside the hard disc to escape

•To allow air pressure inside the hard disc to equalize with ambient pressure

Note. If this hole is covered, sealed, or penetrated by any object, drive reliability may be compromised and could lead to permanent damage--doing so voids the warranty.
