System Requirements for Serial ATA

The following are needed to install a Serial ATA

(SATA) drive to a system:

•SATA capable motherboard or controller card

•SATA hard drive

•SATA cable (1 meter or less in length)

Handling precautions

Set the drive down gently to prevent damage

from impact or vibration.

Do not open the ESD bag containing the drive

until needed.

Handle the drive carefully by the edges. Do not

touch the exposed printed circuit board or any

electronic components.

Do not press on the top or bottom of the drive.

Before handling the drive, discharge any static

electricity from yourself and your clothing. With

one hand, touch an unpainted metal surface on

your computer chassis, then touch the ESD bag

with the other hand. Remain in contact with the

chassis and the bag for a minimum of two

seconds.

Quick installation procedure

Note: Back up all data before installing drive.

1. Turn off the computer.

2. Unplug the computer.

3. Remove the computer cover as instructed by

the computer system manual.

4. Discharge static electricity (see Handling

precautions).

5. Note the mounting position of existing drives

and cables. If you are replacing a drive or any

cable, remove it now.

6. Remove the drive from the ESD bag.

7. Record the model, the part number, and the

serial number of the drive for future reference.

8. Attach the Serial ATA cable to the drive. Match

key on cable to connector on drive

Mounting instructions

Note: The mounting hole and connector locations are

shown in figures 1 and 2.

1. Mount the drive securely.

2. Verify all attachments.

3. Replace the computer cover.

4. Plug in the computer.

5. Turn on the computer.

6. Verify that the hard disk is recognized by the

BIOS. Instructions for accessing your BIOS

can be found in the computer system manual

or in the motherboard manufacturer

documentation. If the drive is not recognized in

the BIOS, check the following:

Thread

Interface connector

1) Auto Detect is enabled for the port the hard

disk is connected to.

2) SATA and power cables are connected

securely and not damaged.

3) The latest BIOS version is loaded onto the

system.

7. Many factors must be considered in order to

take advantage of the full capacity of drives

>2.2TB. Some configurations offer a higher

likelihood of success. Please refer to our

High Capacity Technology Brief and visit

our Above 2TB web page

at http://www.hitachigst.com/internal-

drives/above-2tb.

8. Your operating system setup utility will provide

instructions on how to partition and format your

drive before it installs the operating system.

For additional information see:

www.hitachigst.com/support

Note: The hard drive supports 6Gbps, 3Gbps and

1.5Gbps interface speeds. Higher interface speeds

are gated by Host Bus Adapter (HBA) or SATA

chipset of the system.

Mounting Recommendations

The drive will operate in all axes (6 directions).

Performance and error rate will stay within

specification limits if the drive is operated in the other

orientations from which it was formatted.

For reliable operation, the drive must be mounted in

the system securely enough to prevent excessive

motion or vibration of the drive during seek operation

or spindle rotation, using appropriate screws or

equivalent mounting hardware.

The recommended mounting screw torque is 0.6 - 1.0

Nm (6-10 Kgf.cm).

The recommended mounting screw depth is 4 mm

maximum for bottom and 4.5 mm maximum for

horizontal mounting.

Drive level vibration test and shock test are to be

conducted with the drive mounted to the table using

the bottom four screws.

Capacity notice: One GB is equal to one billion bytes and one TB equals 1,000

GB (one trillion bytes) when referring to hard drive capacity. Accessible capacity

will vary from the stated capacity due to formatting and partitioning of the hard

drive, the computer’s operating system, and other factors.
