Grounding
Signal ground (PCB) and HDA ground are connected together in the
Barracuda 4 family drives—do not separate this connection. Maximizing the
conductive contact area between HDA ground and system ground may
reduce radiated emissions. A bracket shield with tapped holes is available to
system integrators. This shield makes it easier to attach a braid or similar
high-frequency grounding device. If you do not want the system chassis to
be connected to the HDA/PCB ground, you must provide a nonconductive
(electrically isolating) method of mounting the drive in the host equipment;
however, this may increase radiated emissions and is the system designer’s
responsibility.
