Preface

This manual contains information for users of the Seagate®
Barr acuda 36 SCSI disc driv es. It pro vides support services, per ­formance specifications, and initial setup information. Additional
information is available in the

Barracuda 36 Product Manual

(part number 77767528). Contact your Seagate sales represen­tative if you need to order this publication.

Electrostatic discharge protection

Caution.

All drive electronic assemblies are sensitive to static electricity,
due to the electrostatically sensitive devices used within the
drive circuitry. Although some devices such as metal-ox ide semi­conductors are extremely sensitive, all semiconductors, as well
as some resisto rs and capacitors, may be damaged or degraded
by exposure to static electricity.

Removal of circuit boards by personnel not perform­ing depot repair will damage components and may
void the warr anty.

Electr ost atic damage t o electr onic de vices may be caus ed by the
direct discharge of a charged conductor or by exposure to the
static fields surrounding charged objects. To avoid damaging
drive electronic assemblies, observe the following precautions
when installing or servicing the drive:

• Ground yourself to the drive whenever the drive electronics
are or will be exposed. Connect yourself to ground with a wrist
strap (Seagate part number 12263496). Connection may be
made to any grounded metal assembly. As a general rule,
remember that you and the drive electronics must all be
grounded to avoi d potentially damaging static discharges.

2 Barr acuda 36 Installation G uide, Re v. B

• Turn off the power before removing or installing the DC power
cable.

• Do not remove any circuit boards from the driv e.

• Never use an ohmmeter on any circuit boards.

• When inst alli ng the drive on a carrier or t ra y, disch arge the car -

rie r o r tray pr io r to ins e rting it into th e sy st e m.

Importan t safety information and precautions

Caution.

Use forced-air ventilation when bench-testing the
drive to ensure prop er cooling of driv e com ponents.

Use proper safety techniques for safe, reliable operation of this
unit.

The procedures in this manual and labels on the unit contain
warnings and cautions that must be carefully read and followed
to minim ize or eliminat e the risk of pers onal injury. The warnings
point out conditions or practices that may endanger you or oth­ers. The cautions point out conditions or pr actices that may dam­age the uni t, possibly making it unsafe for use.

Always observe the fo ll owing warnin gs and precautions:

• Follow all cautions and warnings in the procedures.

• Use sound safety practices when operating, installing, or

removing the unit.

• Use caution when troubleshooting a unit that has voltages
present. Turn off power to the unit before re mo ving it.

• Ensure that the internal temperature of the rack or cabinet
does not exceed the limits defined for the drive when the drive
is mounted in an equipment rack or cabinet. When units are
stacked vertically, pay special attention to the top where tem­peratures are usually highest.

Barracuda 36 Installation Guide, Rev. B 3

• Follow the precautions listed above in “Electrostatic discharge
protection.”

• Do not remove any circuit boards from the drive. Return the
entire drive for depot repair if any circuit board is defective.
Removal of circuit boards by personnel not performing depot
repai r will damage components and may void the warranty.

• Do not remove the head and disc assembly (HDA) from the
drive. Return the entire drive for depot repair if the HDA is
defective.

• Do not attempt to disassemble the HDA. It is not field repair­abl e. If the sealed HDA is opened b y personnel not per forming
depot repair, this will damage components and void the
warranty.

As a component, this drive is designed to be installed and oper­ated in accordance with UL1950, EN60950, CAN/CSA C22.2
950-95, and VDE0805.

Seagate takes all reasonable steps to ensure that its products
are certifiable to currently accepted standards. Typical applica­tions of these disc drives include customer packaging and sub­system design. Safety agencies conditionally certify component
assemblies, such as the Barracuda disc drive, based on their
final acceptability in the end-use product. The subsystem
designers are responsible for meeting these conditions of
acceptabilit y in obtaining saf ety-re gulatory agency com pliance in
their end-use products and for certifying where required by law.
A necessary part of meeting safety requirements is the provision
for overcurre nt pr otection on driv e SELV supply voltages.

This unit is a component part and as such is not meant to com­ply with FCC or similar national requirements as a stand-alone
unit. Engineering radiated emissions test results are available

General description

Barracuda 36 SCSI disc drives are high-speed, random-access
digital-data storage device s.

The drive is a component for installation in an enclosure
designed for the drive. This is often a rack within the system or
an ex ternal encl osure desi gned to house one or more disc driv es
or other peripher al units. In either case, the disc dri ve must
receive adequate cooling (refer to “Providing adequate cooling”)
and it must be sufficiently grounded and shielded from emis­sions. The

Barracuda 36 Product Manual

(par t number

77767528) contains guidelines for a properly designed
enclosure.

20 Barr acuda 36 Inst allation Guide, Re v. B

SC SI ID jum p e r s

Each device on the SCSI chain must have a unique SCSI ID.
The host system’s SCSI controller usually uses the ID that has
the highest priority interrupt in the SCSI I/O system. This is
always ID7. ID0 is lowest priority in an 8-bit I/O system. ID8 is
lowest priority in a 16-bit I/O system. The lower priority SCSI IDs
are normall y used for ot her SCSI devices such as this Barracuda
disc drive.

Note.

Note.

Most SCSI controllers (host adapters) allow you to skip a
SCSI ID. For example, you can have ID0, ID1, and ID3
(skipping ID2). Other controllers do not allow this so be
sure to refer to your system or controller user’s manual
for details about its requirements for proper SCSI device
installation.

This drive is a SCAM (SCSI Configured Auto Magically)
compli ant drive. If the system int o which y ou are i nstalling
this drive requires SCAM compliant drives, you do not
need to be concerned about the drive ID jumper settings,
as the system automatically assigns your new drive the
ID it wants it to have. The sys tem m ay or may not use the
existing drive ID jumper settings. Setting the drive ID
doesn’t hurt anything, but is not necessary in a SCAM
compli ant system.

Most Barracuda disc drives are factor y set with the SCSI ID set
at 0. To change the SCSI ID, refer to the appropriate drive sec­tion for your model.

If, after completing the installation process, the drive’s LED does
not show on/off activity when the host is trying to communicate
with the drive, a duplicate SCSI ID may be the problem. If this is

Barracuda 36 Installation Guide, Rev. B 21
the case, change the ID so that each device on the SCSI chain

has its own unique ID. Also check your system or controller
user’s manual to ensure that you have not violated its SCSI ID
numberi ng recommendations.

Drive termination

If you are installing a Barracuda drive in a system that has other
SCSI devices installed, terminate only the end devices on the
SCSI chain. A SCSI “device” is any disc drive, scanner, tape
backup unit, or other piece of hardware connected to your sys­tem using the SCSI bus.

The top example in Figure 2 shows an internal hard disc at one
end of the SCSI bus with the SCSI controller at the other end
(bot h are terminated). The bottom example shows two additional
SCSI devices connected externally—this means the SCSI con­troller is no longer on the end of the SCSI chain and should not
be terminated.

Note.

Some controllers prefer to remain terminated e ven if they
are in the middl e of the chain. Als o, some cont rollers treat
the internal and external chains as separate logical
buses. This means you may need to terminate both the
first and last devices on both logical buses to achieve
proper termination. If necessary, refer to your system or
controller documentation to see how this is handled in
your particular system.

I/O circuits and data path widths

•“LW” and “LC” models use SCSI multimode I/O circuits. Multi-

mode circuits operate either in single-ended mode or low volt­age differential mode. No high voltage differential devices
should be connected in the I/O daisy chain with “LW” or “LC”
model drives. The state of the I/O “DIFFSNS” line determines
whether the devices on the SCSI bus operate their I/O circuits
in single-ended or low voltage differential mode. The host
device on the SCSI bus operates the “DIFFSNS” line. How­ever, the SE jumper on J2 forces “DIFFSNS” to nominal

Barracuda 36 Installation Guide, Rev. B 23

ground (see Figure 12). The host device cannot override the
SE jum per. If “DIFFSNS” is at nominal ground (0V to .6V), all
of the bus receivers/drivers operate in single-ended mode. If
“DIFFSNS” is between .7V and 1.9V, all bus receiver/drivers
operate in low voltage differential (LVD) mode.

•“LC” and “LW” models have a “wide” (16-bit) SCSI data bus

rather than the standard (non-wide) 8-bit SCSI data bus; how­ever, you can use these wide drives on a standard (non-wide)
8-bit data bus. However, the unused lines must be ter minated
the same as the used lines.

Providing a dequa te co ol in g

The enclosure design must ensure adequate cooling for the
drive. The maximum ambient air temperature around the drive
should not exceed 50°C. However, to achieve maximum reliabil­ity, the ambient temperature should be about 15°C below this
value most of the tim e.

The drive’s product manual (77767528) describes how to evalu-
ate the air-flow design. The evaluation consists of ensuring that
the case temperature of certain critical components remains
within acceptable limits during drive operation.

We recommend orienting the drive or directing the air flow in a
way that creates the least amount of air-flow resistance while
providing air flow above the circuit boards and around the head
and disc assembly (HDA). Also, choose the shortest possible
path between the air inlet and exit. This minimizes the distance
traveled by air that is heated by the drive and by other nearby
heat sources.

Figure 4 shows two design approaches with one or more fans
used to generate air flow. The air-flow patterns can be created
by t he fans eithe r pushing or drawin g air. The o veral l flow pattern
can be directed from front to back, back to front, or side to side.

Mounting the drive and connecting cables

Do not touch the connector pins or any components on the con­trol board without observing static-discharge precautions.
Always handle the driv e by the frame only.

The drive may be mounted in any orientation (horizontally, ver ti­cally, and any combination thereof); however, you must ensure
that the drive recei ves adequate air flow for cooling.

1. Mount the drive to the host system’s chassis using four 6-32
UNC screws. Two mounting holes are in each side of the
drive and there are four mounting holes in the bottom of the
drive.

The maximum length that the screws should extend into the
chassis mounting holes is 0.15 inch (3.81 mm), measured
from the outer surface of the chassis. Tighten the screws
down evenly. Do not over-tighten or force the scre w if it does
not s eem to screw in e asily, because thi s m eans the t hreads
are not properly aligned. In this case, back the screw out
and tr y again.

statischer Aufladung. Fassen Sie das Laufwerk nur am Rahmen
an.

Das Laufwerk kann in beliebiger Orientierung (horizontal, ver­tikal oder schräg) installiert werden; jedoch muß dafür gesorgt
werd en, daß ei n ausreichender Luftstrom zur Kühlung des Lauf-
werkes vor handen ist.

Barracuda 36 Installation Guide, Rev. B 33

1. Befestigen Sie das Laufwerk mit vier 6-32-UNC-Schrauben
am G ehäu se des Host-System s. Die beiden Sei ten des
Laufwerkes sind mit jeweils zwei Befestigungslöchern
versehen, die Unterseite des Laufwerkes weist vier weitere
Befestigungslöcher auf.

Gemess en von der Außenfläch e des Gehäuses dürfen die
Schrauben maximal 3,81 mm in die Befestigungslöcher des
Gehüus es hine inragen . Die S chrauben m üssen g leich-

4. Connect the SCSI cable into the drive’s SCSI connector.
Take care not to str etch or crimp this cable, and do not bloc k
the system’s cooling air flow with the cable.

The drive receives DC power through a 4-pin connector
mounted next to the SCSI connector. The output of a power
supply must meet SELV (safety extra low voltage) as
defined in IEC 950. Figure 5 provides the pin inform ation for

Note. Signal ground on the printed circuit board assembly

(PCBA) and the head and disc assembly (HDA) are con­nected together in this drive and you cannot separate
them. The equipment in which you have mounted the
drive is connected directly to the HDA and PCBA without
electrically isolating shock mounts. Maximizing the con­ductive contact area between HDA ground and system
ground may reduce radiated emission s.

If you do not want the system chassis to be connected to
the HDA/PCBA ground, you must provide a nonconduc­tive (electricall y isola ti ng) method of mounti ng the dri ve in
the host system. This may increase radiated emissions
and is the system designer’s responsibility.

Formatting the drive

Warning.

Formatting a drive erases all user data. Be sure that
you understand this principle before formatting any
hard disc drive. It is not necessary to format a drive
that previously has been used to store data, unless
your intenti on is to erase all user dat a.

Note.

Seagate is not responsible for lost user data.

1. Turn on DC power.

2. Boot the system from a system floppy disc or from a previ­ously installed hard disc drive if there is one.

3. Format the disc drive. Barracuda 36 disc drives are
designed to operate with a variety of operating systems.
Please refer to your system or SCSI controller manual for
infor m ation about formatting and setting up the drive. Some
quic k desktop system notes are pr ovided bel ow.

jumper is not on, the SCSI I/O
can operate in either single-ended or low-voltage differential
(LVD) mode, depending on which mode the host device has
selected using the “DIFFSNS” I/O line. The
