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

8. Your operating system setup utility will provide
instructions on how to partition and format your
drive before it installs the operating system.

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.
