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.

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.

•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.

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

system’s single connector attachment (SCA) position on the
system’s back panel.
Cheetah 9 Installation Guide, Re v. B21
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
22Cheetah 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.

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.
24Cheetah 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.
Table 4.Cable characteristics for single-ended circuits
See system documentation. ANSI spec does not specify a
11
value here.
For devices having differential I/O circuits, a maximum cable
length of 25 meters (82 feet) is allowed. A maximum of 8 devices
can be connected on an 8-bit wide data bus, and a maximum of
16 devices can be connected on a 16-bit wide data bus.

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.

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. B33
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.

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

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.

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

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.
