Ultrastar 36LZX (FC-AL)
Electrical interface specifications

Models: DDYF-T36950, T18350, T09170
 

FC-AL connector (SCA-2)

The Ultrastar 36LZX uses the 40-pin SCA-2 connector defined by the ANSI SFF-8045 Specification. SFF-8067 will also be supported. The only difference between SFF-8045 and SFF-8067 is the Enclosure Service Interface. The drive will 'discover' the level of Enclosure Service Interface supported by the enclosure and use the proper level for enclosure communication. This 'discovery' process is defined in SFF-8067 specification.

It is expected that the drive will be used in an environment which uses a common connector structure for racking disk drives in a cabinet. The connector allows for plugging a drive directly into a back plane by providing the necessary electrical connection. Mechanical stability and device retention must be provided by some other mechanism outside the drive.
