6 Barracuda 18XL Product Manual, Rev. A
The head and disc assembly (HDA) is sealed at the factory. Air circulates within the HDA through a non-
replaceable filter to maintain a contamination-free HDA environment.
Refer to Figure 2 for an exploded view of the drive. This exploded view is for information only—never disassem-
ble the HDA and do not attempt to service items in the sealed enclosure (heads, media, actuator, etc.) as this
requires special facilities. The drive contains no replaceable parts. Opening the HDA voids your warranty.
Barracuda 18XL drives use a dedicated landing zone at the innermost radius of the media to eliminate the pos-
sibility of destroying or degrading data by landing in the data zone. The drive automatically goes to the landing
zone when power is removed.
An automatic shipping lock prevents potential damage to the heads and discs that results from movement dur-
ing shipping and handling. The shipping lock automatically disengages when power is applied to the drive and
the head load process begins.
Barracuda 18XL drives decode track 0 location data from the servo data embedded on each surface to elimi-
nate mechanical transducer adjustments and related reliability concerns.
A high-performance actuator assembly with a low-inertia, balanced, patented, straight-arm design provides
excellent performance with minimal power dissipation.
