Barracuda ATA III Family Product Manual, Rev. B 1.10 Electromagnetic immunity When properly installed in a representative host system, the drive operates without errors or degradation in performance when subjected to the radio frequency (RF) environments defined in the following table:...
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 Commission 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...
Barracuda ATA III Family 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.
Barracuda ATA III Family 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.
Barracuda ATA III Family 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.
Barracuda ATA III Family Product Manual, Rev. B 2.2.4 Ultra ATA/100 cable An 80-conductor 40-pin cable is required to run Ultra DMA mode 3, mode 4 and mode 5. This cable uses even-numbered conductors connected to the ground pins to improve signal integrity.
