INSTALLATION
4.3.2
Ventilation
The Spinpoint M9T hard disk drive is designed to operate without the need of a cooling fan provided the
ambient air temperature does not exceed 60ºC. Any user-designed cabinet must provide adequate air
circulation to prevent exceeding the maximum temperature.
4.4
Cable Connectors
The Interface/Power connector consists of two cables; a SATA 15-pin DC power connector, and the
standard SATA 7-pin Interface connector.
4.4.1 SATA Connectivity
The SATA interface is connected within a point to point configuration with the SATA host port. There is
no master or slave relationship within the devices. Thus SATA does not require master/slave jumper. The
drive interface section of the host adapter employs a new design which processed data into a serial data-
control system.
Figure 4.4 illustrates the connection for the SATA.
There are two cables for SATA drives. One is for data transmission. The other is for power. Figure 4-4
illustrates (a) device signal plug connector, (b) device
power plug connector, (c) signal cable receptacle
connector mating with (a), and (d) power cable receptacle connector to be mated with (b). For more
information, please refer to SATA Specifications cited in the reference.
