ST310014ACE Product Manual, Rev. B 1.0 Drive specifications Unless otherwise noted, all specifications are measured under ambient conditions, at 25°C, and nominal power. For convenience, the phrases the drive and this drive are used throughout this manual to indicate the ST310014ACE.
ST310014ACE Product Manual, Rev. B Note. These drives are designed to meet the seek times represented in this manual consistently. Physical seeks, regardless of mode (such as track-to-track and average), are expected to meet or exceed the noted values. However, due to the manner in which these drives are formatted, benchmark tests that include com- mand overhead or measure logical seeks may produce results that vary from these specifications.

EN 55022, Class B and the immunity levels are defined by EN 55024. Seagate uses an independent laboratory to confirm compliance with the EC directives specified in the previous paragraph. Drives are tested in representative end-user systems. Although CE-marked Seagate drives comply with the directives when used in the test systems, we cannot guarantee that all systems will comply with the directives.
As a subassembly, no Federal Communications Commis- sion verification or certification of the device is required. Seagate Technology, LLC has tested this device in enclosures as described above to ensure that the total assembly (enclosure, disc drive, motherboard, power supply, etc.) does comply with the limits for a Class...
ST310014ACE Product Manual, Rev. B 2.0 Configuring and mounting the drive This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive. 2.1 Handling and static-discharge precautions After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazards.
ST310014ACE Product Manual, Rev. B 2.2 Jumper settings 2.2.1 Master/slave configuration The options jumper block shown in Figure 2 is used to configure the drive for operation. It is the 8-pin dual header between the interface connector and the power connector. Use the following settings to configure the drive as a master or a slave.
ST310014ACE Product Manual, Rev. B 2.2.2 Cable-select option Computers that use cable-select determine the master and slave drives by selecting or deselecting pin 28, CSEL, on the interface bus. Master and slave drives are determined by their physical position on the cable. To enable cable select, set a jumper on pins 5 and 6 as shown in Figure 2 on page 16.
ST310014ACE Product Manual, Rev. B 2.1 Drive mounting You 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 3 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive: •...
ST310014ACE Product Manual, Rev. B 3.0 ATA interface These drives use the industry-standard ATA task file interface that supports 16-bit data transfers. It supports ATA programmed input/output (PIO) modes 0–4; multiword DMA modes 0–2, and Ultra DMA modes 0–5. The drive also supports the use of the IORDY signal to provide reliable high-speed data transfers.
