Preface
This manual contains information for users of the Seagate® Cheetah 9 SCSI disc drives. It provides support services, perfor­mance specifications, and initial setup information. Additional information is available in the
Cheetah 9 Product Manual
(part number 83329170). Contact your Seagate sales representative if you need to order this publication.
Attention. This high performance Cheetah disc drive MUST
have proper power and cooling considerations for reliable operation.
Why is ther e a differ ence between 10,000 RPM and 7,200 RPM disc drives?
Cheetah disc drives spinning at 10,000 RPM will dissipate
more heat than 7,200 RPM class disc drives (typical power dissipation is 22.5 watts).
The increased heat is primarily d ue to incre ased motor power
dissipated inside the drive.
The increase in heat dissipation requires that the Cheetah
10,000 RPM disc drives receive more cooling consideration than 7,200 RPM class disc drives.
Proper consideration of enhanced cooling by conduction (heat
transfer thru material) ca n reduce the convection cooling (heat transfer by air motion) requirem ents.
Note. Please contact Seagate technical support services or
your distributor ’s technical support if you have questions.

Electros tatic disch arge p rotecti on
Caution. Removal of circuit boards by personnel not perform-
ing depot repair will damage components and may void the warranty.
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-oxide semiconductors are extremely sensitive, all semiconductors, as well as some resistors and capacitors, may be damaged or degraded by exposure to static elect ricity.
Electrostatic damage to electronic devices may be caused by the direct discharge of a charged conductor or by exposure to the static fields surrounding charged objects. To avoid dam aging 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 avoid potentially damaging static discharges.
Turn off the power before removing or installing the DC power
cable.
Do not remove any circuit boards from the drive.
Never use an ohmmeter on any cir cui t boards.
When installing the drive on a carrier or tray, discharge the
carrier or tray prior to inserting it into the system.

Impo rtant safety inform ati on and precau tion s
Caution. Use forced-air ventilation when bench-testing the
drive to ensure proper cooling of drive components.
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 follo wed to minimize or eliminate the risk of personal injury. The warnings point out conditio ns or practices that may endanger you or oth­ers. The cautions point out conditions or practices that may dam­age the unit, possibly making it unsafe for use.
Always observe the following warnings and pre cautions:
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 removing it.
Ensure that the internal temperature of the rack or cabinet
does not exceed the limit s defined for the drive w hen 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.
Follow the precautions listed above in “Electr ostatic discharge
prote ction.”
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 repair will d amage components and may void the warranty.
4 Cheetah 9 Installation Guide, Rev. B
Do not separate the he ad and disc as sembl y (HDA) from t he
PCB. Return the entire drive for depot repair if the HDA is defective.
Do not attempt to disassemble the HDA. It is n ot field repair-
able. If the sealed HDA is opened by personnel not performing depot repair, this will damage components and void the warranty.
As a component, this drive i s designed to be install ed an d oper­ated in accordance with UL1950, EN60950, CSA C22.2 950­M89, 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 de sign. Safety agencies conditionally certi fy component assemblies, such as the Cheetah disc drive, based on their final acceptability in the end-use product. The subsystem designers are responsible for meeting these conditions of acceptability in obtaining safety-regulatory agency compliance in their end-use products and for certifying where required by law. A necessary part of meeting safety requir ements is the provision for overc ur­rent prot ection on drive SELV supply voltages.
This unit is a component part and as such is not meant to comply with FCC or similar national requirement s as a stand-alone unit. Engineering radiated emissions test results are available throu gh the Seagate Safety Department to assist the subsystem designer.

General description
Cheetah 9 SCSI disc drives are high-speed, random-access dig­ital-data storage devices.
The d rive is a componen t for installa tion in an enclos ure designed for the drive. This is often a rack within the system or an external enclosure designed to house one or more disc drives or other peripher al units. In either case, the disc drive must receive adequate cooling (refer t o “Pro viding adequate cooling”) and it must be sufficiently grounded and shielded from emis­sions. The
Cheetah 9 Product Manual
(part number 83329170)
contains guidelines for a properly designed enclosure.

system’s single connector attachment (SCA) position on the system’s back panel.
Cheetah 9 Installation Guide, Re v. B 21
SCSI ID jumpers
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 C heetah disc drive.
Note. Most SCSI controller s (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 pro per SCSI d evice inst allati on.
Note. This drive is a SCAM (SCSI Configured Auto Magically)
compliant drive. If the system into which you are installing 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 system may 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 compliant system.
Most C heetah disc driv es are factory set wi th the SCSI ID s et at
0. To change the SCSI ID, refer to the appropr iate drive section for your model.
If, after completing the installation pro cess, the drive’s LED does not show on/off activity when the host is t rying to comm unicate with the drive, a duplicate SCSI ID may be the problem. If this is
22 Cheetah 9 Installation Guide, Rev. B the case, change the ID so that ea ch d evice on the SCSI chain
has its own unique ID. Also check your system or controller user ’s m anual to ensure that you have not violated its SCSI ID numbering recommendations.
Drive term i nati on
If you are installing a Cheetah 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 (both are terminated). The bottom example shows two additional SCSI devices connected externally—this means the SCSI con­troll er is no longer on the end of the SCSI chain and should not be terminated.
Note. Some controllers prefer to remain terminated e ven i f t he y
are in the middle of the chain. Also, some controllers 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.
For information about how to terminate your drive, refer to the appropriate drive-specific section.

You usually will not need to change this option and can normally leave the drive config ured as it was shipped from the factory. For informati on about how to change the terminator power o ption on your drive, refer to the appropriat e drive-specific section.
I/O circu its an d data path widths
“WD” and “DC” models use differ ent ial I/O circui ts. You c annot
mix these models with single-ended models (“N,” “W,” “WC”) on the same SCSI bus. The circuits are incompatible with each other.
“W,” “WD,” and “WC ” 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 (non­wide) 8-bit data bus.
24 Cheetah 9 Installation Guide, Rev. B Figures 3a, 3b, 3c, and 3d show typical drive connections. The
following table lists the maximum cable lengths and number of devices with single-ended I/O circuits allowed on a daisy-chain cable for 5 and 20 Mbyt es/ sec I/O data transfer rates.

Pro vid ing adequ ate cool ing
The enclosure design must ensure adequate cooling for the drive. The maximum ambient temperatur e is 50°C.
The drive’s product manual (83329170) describes how to evalu­ate the air-f low design. The evaluation consists of ensuring that the case temperature of certain critical components remains within acceptable limits during drive operation.
We recommend orienti ng the drive or dire ct ing 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 the fans either pushing or drawing air. The overall flow pattern can be direct ed from front to back, back to front, or side to side.

Die Produkthandbuc h Cheetah 9 (Dokument 83329170) enthal ten Anweisung en zur Beurteilu ng der Luftstromk onstruk­tion. Die Be urteilung muß si cherstellen, daß sich die Gehäuse­temperatur bestimmter kritischer Komponenten bei Laufwerkbetrieb innerhalb zugelassener Grenzen hält.
Wir empfehlen, das Laufwerk so zu orientieren oder den Luft­strom so z u lenken, daß der gering ste Luf tstromw iderstand erzeugt wird und gleichzeitig ein Luftstrom über den Platinen und um die Kopf- und Festplatteneinheit (HDA) gegeben ist. Wählen Sie einen möglichst kurzen Weg zwischen Lufteinlaß und -auslaß. Dadurch wird die Strecke, die die vom Laufwer k und anderen nahegelegenen Hitzequellen aufgewärmte Luft zurücklegt, auf ein Minimum beschränkt.
Abbildung 4 zeigt zwei Konstruktionsmöglichkeiten, bei denen ein oder mehrere Lüfter den Luftstrom erzeugen. Der L uftstrom­verlauf wird durch die Lüfter gesteuert, die entweder Luft einbla­sen oder abziehen. Generell kann der Luftstrom entweder von vorne nach hinten oder von hinten nach vorne verlaufen.

Mou nti ng the drive and co nne ctin g cabl es
Do not touch the c onnector pins or any components on the con­trol board without observing static-discharge precautions. Alw ays handle the drive by the frame only.
The drive may be mounted in an y orientation (horizontally, verti ­cally, and any combination thereof); however, you must ensure that the drive receives 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 driv e and there are four mounting holes in the bottom of the drive.
The maximum length that the screws should extend into the drive mounting holes is 0.15 inch (3.81 mm), measured from the outer surf ace of the drive. Tighten the screws down evenly. Do not over-tighten or force the screw if it does not seem to screw in easily, because this means the threads are not properly aligned. In this case, back the screw out and try again.
Instal latio n des Laufwer kes und Anschluß der Kabel
Beachten Sie beim Handhaben und Anfassen der Anschlußstifte und Komponenten die Vorsichtsmaßnahmen zur Verhinderung statischer Aufladung. Fassen Sie das Laufwerk nur am Ra hmen an.
Das Laufwerk kann in beliebiger Orientierung (horizontal, ver­tikal oder schräg) installiert werden; jedoch muß dafür gesorgt werden, daß ein ausreichender Luftstrom z ur Kühlung des Lauf­werkes vorhanden ist.
Cheetah 9 Installation Guide, Re v. B 33
1. Befestigen Sie das Laufwerk mit vier 6-32-UNC-Schr auben am Geh äuse des Host-Systems. Di e beiden Seiten des Laufwerkes sind mit jeweils zwei Befestigungslöchern versehen, die Unterseite des Laufwerkes weist vier weitere Befestigungslöcher auf.
Geme ssen von der Außenfläche des Gehä uses dürfen die Schrauben maximal 3,81 mm in die Befestigungslöcher des Geh üuses hi neinr agen. Die S chrau ben müs sen gle ich­mäßig, jedoch nicht zu fest, angezogen werden. Wenn sich eine Schraube nicht ohne Widerstand einschrauben läßt, sind di e Gewinde ni cht korrekt anei nander ausger ichtet. In diesem Fall die Schraube nicht in das Gewindeloch forcieren, so ndern die Schraube herausnehmen und erneut in das Gewindeloch einführen.
2. Verify that all connections between the drive and the host system are correctl y installed.
2. Prüfen Sie, ob alle Verbindungen zwischen dem Laufwerk und dem Host-S ystem korrekt hergestellt sind.
3. Verif y that you have corr ectly installe d jumpers.
3. Stellen Sie sicher, daß die Kennungsbrücken installiert sind.
4. Connect the SCSI cable into the drive’s SCSI connector. Take care not to stretch or crimp this cable, and do not block the system’s cooling air flow with the cable.
The drive receives DC power through a 4-pin connector mounted next to th e SCSI connector. The output of a power supply must meet SELV (safety extra low voltage) as

Cheetah 9 Installation Guide, Re v. B 35 Note. Signal ground on the power control board (PCB) and t he
head and disc assembly (HDA) are connec ted 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 PCB without electrically isolating shock mounts. Maximizing the conductive contact area between HDA ground and system ground may reduce radiated emissions.
If you do not want the system chassis to be connect ed to the HDA/PCB ground, you must provide a nonconducti ve (electrically isolating) method of mounting the drive in the host system. This may increase radiated emissions and is the system designer’s responsibility.

Das Gerät, in das Si e das Laufwerk eingebaut haben, ist ohne elektrisch isolierende Stoßdämpfer direkt an die HDA und PCB angeschlos sen. Die elektromagnetische Strahlung kann reduziert wer­den, indem Sie eine möglichst große leitende Kontak­fläche zwischen der HDA-Erdung und der System erdung vorsehen.
Wenn Sie das Systemgehäuse nicht an die HDA/PCB­Erdung anschließ en wollen, müssen Sie das Laufwerk auf nichtleitende Weise (galvanisch isoliert) im Host-Sys­tem einbauen. Die daraus u.U. resultierende verstärkte

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 dri ve that previously has been used to store data, unless your intention is to era se all user data.
Note. Seagate is not responsible for lost user data.
1. Turn on DC power.
2. Boot the system from a system flo ppy disc or from a previ­ously installed hard disc drive if there is one.
3. Format the disc drive. Cheetah 9 disc drives are designed to operate with a variety of operating systems. Please refer to your system or SCSI controller manual for information about formatting and setting up the drive. Some quick desktop system notes are provided below.
