There is a choice of 2 power connections
to this drive. One DC power connector is designed to mate with AMP
part 1-480424 (using AMP pins P/N 350078-4). The other (3 pin) DC
power connector is designed to mate with MOLEX 5480-03 (using MOLEX
pins 5479). Equivalent connectors may be used. Pin assignments are
shown below, as viewed from the end of the drive.
IDE signal connector
The drive uses single-ended drivers and
receivers. The connector is designed to mate with 3M part 3417-7000
or equivalent.
Note: It is indented that the
hard disk drive should only be in electrical contact with the
chassis of the PC at a designated set of mounting holes. Other
electrical contact may degrade error rate performance. As a result
of this, it is recommended that there should be no metal contact to
the hard disk drive except at the mounting holes or the side rails
into which the mounting holes are tapped.
Cabling
The maximum cable length from the Host
system to the drive, plus the circuit pattern length inside the Host
systems, must not exceed 18 inches (45.7 cm).
