2.0Applicable standards and reference documentation
The drive has been developed as a system peripheral to the highest standards of design and construction. The
drive depends upon its host equipment to provide adequate power and environment in order to achieve
optimum performance and compliance with applicable industry and governmental regulations. Special
attention must be given in the areas of safety, power distribution, shielding, audible noise control, and
temperature regulation. In particular, the drive must be securely mounted in order to guarantee the specified
performance characteristics.
2.1Standards
The Hawk 2LP Family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this Manual
and the Seagate SCSI Interface Manual, P/N 77738479 (Vol. 2, Version 2).
The Hawk 2LP Family is a UL Recognized component per UL 1950 and a CSA Certified component per CAN/
CSA-C22.2 No. 950-M89. It also meets the requirements of DIN VDE 0805:1993 and EN60950: 1992 (IEC
950).
The drive, as delivered, is designed for system integration and installation into a suitable enclosure prior to use.
As such the drive is supplied as a subassembly and is not subject to Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC Rules
and Regulations nor the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
However, the unit has been tested using proper shielding and grounding and found to be compliant with Class
A limits of the FCC Rules and the Regulations of The Canadian Department of Communications.
The physical design characteristics of the drive serve to minimize radiation when installed in an enclosure that
provides reasonable shielding. As such, the drive is capable of meeting the Class B limits of the FCC Rules
and Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communication. However, it is the users responsibility to
assure that the drive meets the appropriate EMI requirements in their system. Shielded I/O cables may be
required if the enclosure does not provide adequate shielding. If the I/O cables are external to the enclosure,
shielded cables should be used, with the shields grounded to the enclosure and to the host controller.
2.2Electromagnetic Compliance for the European Union
If this model has the CE Marking it complies with the European Union requirements of the Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive 89/336/EEC of 03 May 1989 as amended by Directive 92/31/EEC of 28 April 1992 and
Directive 93/68/EEC of 22 July 1993.
Seagate uses an independent laboratory to confirm compliance to the above directives. The drive was tested
in a representative system for typical applications. The selected system represents the most popular
characteristics for test platforms. The system configurations include:
•486, Pentium, and Power PC Microprocessors
•3.5-inch Floppy Disc Drive
•Keyboard
•Monitor/Display
Although the test system with this Seagate model complies to the directives, we cannot guarantee that all
systems will comply. The computer manufacturer or system integrator shall confirm EMC compliance and
provide CE Marking for their product.

3.0General description
The drives are a member of a family of low cost, high performance, highly reliable, random access storage
devices designed to meet the needs of the OEM marketplace.
The drive records and recovers data on 3.7 inch (95 mm) fixed discs.
The drive supports the Small Computer System Interface as described in the ANSI SCSI-1, SCSI-2 and SCSI-
3 Interface Manuals to the extent described in this product Manual (Vol. 1), which defines the product
performance characteristics of the Hawk 2LP Family of drives, and the SCSI Interface Product Manual P/N
77738479 (Vol. 2, Version 2) which describes the general interface characteristics of this and other families
of Seagate 3.5-inch drives.
The drive interface supports multiple initiators, disconnect/reconnect, self configuring host software and
automatic features that relieve the host from the necessity of knowing the physical characteristics of the targets
(logical block addressing is used).
The Head/Disc Assembly (HDA) is environmentally sealed at the factory. Air recirculates within the Head/Disc
(HDA) through a nonreplaceable filter to maintain a contamination free head/disc environment.
Refer to Figure 3.0-1 an exploded view of the drive. NEVER disassemble the Head/Disc Assembly (HDA). This
exploded view is for information only. Do not attempt to service items in the sealed environmental enclosure
(heads, media, actuator, etc.) as this requires special facilities. The drive contains no parts replaceable by the
user. The drive warranty is voided if the HDA is opened.
The Hawk 2LP Family drives use a dedicated landing zone at the innermost radius of the media to eliminate
the possibility of destroying or degrading data by landing in the data zone. The drive automatically goes to the
landing zone when the power is removed.
The Hawk 2LP Family drives incorporate an automatic shipping lock which prevents potential damage to the
heads and discs that result from movement during shipping and handling. The shipping lock is automatically
disengaged when power is applied to the drive and the head load process begins.
The Hawk 2LP Family drives decode track location from the dedicated servo surface to eliminate mechanical
transducer adjustments and related reliability concerns.
The Hawk 2LP Family drives use a high performance actuator assembly that consists of a low inertia, balanced,
patented, straight arm design that provides excellent performance with minimum power dissipation.

4.6Installation
For option jumper locations and definitions refer to Figure 10.1-1. Drive default mode parameters are not
normally needed for installation. Refer to Section 11.3.2 for default mode parameters if they are needed.
• Ensure that the SCSI ID of the drive is not the same as the host adapter. Most host adapters use SCS ID
7.
• If multiple devices are on the bus set the drive SCSI ID to one that is not presently used by other devices on
the bus.
• If the drive is the only device on the bus, attach it to the end of the SCSI bus cable. Permanently installed
terminators must be enabled on the drive for "N" models using jumper plug TE. On "ND" models, external
terminators must be provided by the user, systems integrator or host equipment manufacturer.
• If the drive is attached to a bus that contains other devices, and the new drive is not attached to the end of
the bus, the Terminator Enable jumper (TE) should be removed from the new drive.
• Set all appropriate option jumpers for desired operation prior to power on. If jumpers are changed after power
has been applied, recycle the drive power to make the new settings effective.
• Installation instructions are provided by host system documentation or with any additionally purchased drive
installation software. If necessary see section 14.0 for Seagate support services telephone numbers.
• The Manufacturers installed labels must not be removed from the drive or covered with additional labels, as
they contain information required when servicing the product.
Formatting
• It is not necessary to low level format this drive. The drive is shipped from the factory low level formatted in
512 byte sectors.
• Reformat the drive if one of the following occurs.
- A different sector size is selected.
- A different spare sector allocation scheme is selected.

is instantly ready to send or receive the data when the drive generates first request for a data byte transfer,
and assumes an average data transfer rate between the drive and the Initiator as specified in section 5.3.
[8]All performance characteristics assume that automatic adaptive temperature compensation is not in
process when the SCSI command is received. The following paragraphs give highlights of thermal
calibration operation.
a. At spin-up, all heads are calibrated on the outer and inner diameter calibration tracks.
b. A timed calibration occurs 1 minute after spin-up, and every 10 minutes thereafter. During these
timed calibrations, the firmware alternates between the inner and outer diameter calibration tracks.
For example, all heads are calibrated on the inner track, then 10 minutes later all heads are calibrated on the outer track. Automatic adaptive temperature calibration does not interrupt SCSI commands being executed.
c. If automatic adaptive thermal calibration is in process when the drive receives a SCSI command, the
drive queues the command until the compensation for the specific head being compensated completes. When compensation completes f or the specific head being compensated, the drive e xecutes
the first queued command. When execution of the first queued command completes, the drive continues compensation for the remaining head(s). The abov e procedure contin ues until the drive completes compensation for all heads.
d. When a timed calibration comes due, the drive postpones the calibration until the drive has been idle
for 25 to 50 milliseconds.
e. When the drive receives a Write command, the drive performs a single head calibration if a calibra-
tion has been delayed f or 1 to 5 minutes. The driv e performs an uninterruptible calibration of all heads
if the calibration has been delayed more than 5 minutes .
f. The drive preforms a calibration of all heads prior to the first retry of any media error if a timed
calibration has been delayed f or o v er one minute .
g. Automatic adaptive temperature compensation takes less than 0.1% of bus time.
h. Automatic adaptive temperature compensation occurs at times other than mentioned above, but
should be transparent to the user (e.g., during execution of Format, Rezero, and Reassign Block
commands).
i. A rezero command can be used to reset the Automatic adaptive temperature compensation timer
back to start so that the host can know when the interruption for timed thermal compensation will
occur.

5.4Start/stop time
After DC power has been applied, the drive becomes ready within 20 seconds (15 seconds typical) if the Motor
Start Option is disabled (i.e. the motor starts as soon as the power has been applied). During this time the drive
responds to some commands over the SCSI interface* in less than 3 seconds. Stop time is less than 20 seconds
from removal of DC power.
If the Motor Start Option is enabled, the internal controller accepts the commands listed in the SCSI Interface
Product Manual* less than 3 seconds after DC power has been applied. After the Motor Start Command has
been received the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 13 seconds typically. The Motor Start
Command can also be used to command the drive to stop the spindle*.
There is no power control switch on the drive.
5.5Prefetch/multi segmented cache control
The drive provides prefetch (read look-ahead) and multi-segmented cache control algorithms that in many
cases can enhance system performance. “Cache” as used herein refers to the drive buffer storage space when
it is used in “cache” operations. To select prefetch and cache features the host sends the Mode Select
command with the proper values in the applicable bytes in Mode Page 08h*. Prefetch and cache operation are
independent features from the standpoint that each is enabled and disabled independently via the Mode Select
command. However, in actual operation the prefetch feature overlaps cache operation somewhat as is noted
in sections 5.5.1 and 5.5.2.
All default cache and prefetch Mode parameter values (Mode Page 08h) for standard OEM versions of this drive
family are given in Tables 11.3.2-1 through 11.3.2-4.
5.5.1Cache operation
In general, 480 Kbytes of the 512 Kbytes of physical buffer space in the drive can be used as storage space
for cache operations. The buffer can be divided into logical segments (Mode Select Page 08h, byte 13) from
which data is read and to which data is written. The drive maintains a table of logical block disk medium
addresses of the data stored in each segment of the buffer. If cache operation is enabled (RCD bit = 0 in Mode
Page 08h, byte 2, bit 0. See SCSI Interface Product Manual*), data requested by the host with a Read command
is retrieved from the buffer (if it is there), before any disc access is initiated. If cache operation is not enabled,
the buffer (still segmented with required number of segments) is still used, but only as circular buffer segments
during disc medium read operations (disregarding Prefetch operation for the moment). That is, the drive does
not check in the buffer segments for the requested read data, but goes directly to the medium to retrieve it. The
retrieved data merely passes through some buffer segment on the way to the host. On a cache “miss”, all data
transfers to the host are in accordance with “buffer-full” ratio rules. On a cache “hit” the drive ignores the “bufferfull” ration rules. See explanations associated with Mode page 02h (disconnect/reconnect control) in the SCSI
Interface Product Manual*.
The following is a simplified description of a read operation with cache operation enabled:
Case A - A Read command is received and the first logical block (LB) is already in cache:
1. Drive transfers to the initiator the first LB requested plus all subsequent contiguous LB’s that are already
in the cache. This data may be in multiple segments.
2. When the requested LB is reached that is not in any cache segment, the drive fetches it and any remaining
requested LB’s from the disc and puts them in a segment of the cache. The drive transfers the remaining
requested LB’s from the cache to the host in accordance with the disconnect/reconnect specification
mentioned above.
3. If the prefetch feature is enabled, refer to section 5.5.2 for operation from this point.
Case B - A Read command requests data, the first LB of which is not in any segment of the cache:
1. The drive fetches the requested LB’s from the disc and transfers them into a segment, and from there to
the host in accordance with the disconnect/reconnect specification referred to in case A.
2. If the prefetch feature is enabled, refer to section 5.5.2 for operation from this point.
Each buffer segment is actually a self-contained circular storage (wrap-around occurs), the length of which is
an integer number of disc medium sectors. The wrap-around capability of the individual segments greatly
enhances the buffer’s overall performance as a cache storage, allowing a wide range of user selectable
configurations, which includes their use in the prefetch operation (if enabled), even when cache operation is
disabled (see section 5.5.2). The
the size can not be directly selected. Size is selected only as a by-product of selecting the segment number
specification. The size in Kbytes of each segment is reported by the Mode Sense command page 08h, bytes
14 and 15. If a size specification is sent by the host in a Mode Select command (bytes 14 and 15) no new
segment size is set up by the drive, and if the “STRICT” bit in Mode page 00h (byte 2, bit 1) is set to one, the
drive responds as it does for any attempt to change unchangeable parameters (see SCSI I/O Product Manual*).
The drive supports operation of any integer number of segments from 1 to 16.
5.5.2Prefetch operation
If the Prefetch feature is enabled, data in contiguous logical blocks on the disc immediately beyond that which
was requested by a Read command can be retrieved and stored in the buffer for immediate transfer from the
buffer to the host on subsequent Read commands that request those logical blocks (this is true even if “cache”
operation is disabled). Though the prefetch operation uses the buffer as a “cache”, finding the requested data
in the buffer is a prefetch “hit”, not a “cache” operation “hit”. Prefetch is enabled using Mode Select page 08h,
byte 12, bit 5 (Disable Read Ahead - DRA bit). DRA bit = 0 enables prefetch. Since data that is prefetched
replaces data already in some buffer segment(s), the host can limit the amount of prefetch data to optimize
system performance. The max prefetch field (bytes 8 and 9) limits the amount of prefetch. The drive does not
use the prefetch “ceiling” field (bytes 10 and 11).
number
of segments may be selected using the Mode Select command, but
During a prefetch operation, the drive crosses a cylinder boundary to fetch more data only if the Discontinuity
(DISC) bit is set to one in bit 4 of byte 2 of Mode parameters page 08h.
Whenever pref etch (read look-ahead) is enabled (enab led by DRA = 0), it operates under the control of ARLA
(Adaptive Read Look-Ahead). ARLA enables prefetch of contiguous b locks from the disk when it senses that
a prefetch “hit” will likely occur, even if two consecutive read operations were not for physically contiguous
blocks of data (e.g. “software interleave”). ARLA disables prefetch when it decides that a pref etch "hit" will not
likely occur. If the host is not using software interleave, and if two sequential read operations are not for
contiguous blocks of data, ARLA disables prefetch, but as long as sequential read operations request contiguous blocks of data, ARLA keeps pref etch enabled.
14 Product Manual - Hawk 2LP Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. F
_____________________________________________________________________________________
5.6Caching write data
Write caching is a write operation by the drive that makes use of a drive buffer storage area where the data
to be written to the medium is stored in one or more segments while the drive performs the write command.
Write caching is enabled along with read caching. For write caching, the same buffer space and segmentation
is used as set up for read functions. The buffer segmentation scheme is set up or changed independently,
having nothing to do with whether or not read and write caching is enabled or disabled. When a write command
is issued, the cache is first checked to see if any logical blocks that are to be written are already stored in the
cache from a previous read or write command. If there are, the respective cache segments are cleared. The
new data is cached for subsequent Read commands.
If the number of write data logical blocks exceeds the size of the segment being written into when the end of
the segment is reached, the data is written into the beginning of the same cache segment, overwriting the data
that was written there at the beginning of the operation. However, the drive does not overwrite data that has
not yet been written to the medium.
Tables 11.3.2-1 through 11.3.2-4 show Mode default settings for the drives.

a. The drive is operated per this specification using DC Power as defined in this Manual (see Section 7.2).
b. The drive has been formatted with the SCSI FORMAT commands.
c. Errors caused by media defects or host system failures are excluded from error rate computations. Refer
to Paragraph 8.0, Media Characteristics.
6.1.1Read errors
Before determination or measurement of read error rates:
a. The data that is to be used for measurement of read error rates must be verified as being written correctly
on the media.
b. All media defect induced errors must be excluded from error rate calculations.
6.1.2Environmental interference
When evaluating systems operation under conditions of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), the performance
of the drive within the system shall be considered acceptable if the drive does not generate an unrecoverable
condition.
An unrecoverable error, or condition, is defined as one that:
1. Is not detected and corrected by the drive itself;
2. Is not capable of being detected from the error or fault status provided through the drive or SCSI interface;
or
3. Is not capable of being recovered by normal drive or system recovery procedures without operator
intervention.
16 Product Manual - Hawk 2LP Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. F
_____________________________________________________________________________________
6.1.3Write errors
Write errors can occur as a result of media defects, environmental interference, or equipment malfunction.
Therefore, write errors are not predictable as a function of the number of bits passed.
If an unrecoverable write error occurs because of an equipment malfunction in the drive, the error is classified
as a failure affecting MTBF. Unrecoverable write errors are those which cannot be corrected within two
attempts at writing the record with a read verify after each attempt (excluding media defects).
6.1.4Seek errors
A seek error is defined as a failure of the drive to position the heads to the addressed track. There shall be no
more than one recoverable seek error in 107 physical seek operations. After detecting an initial seek error, the
drive automatically reseeks to the addressed track up to 3 times. If a reseek is successful, the Extended Sense
reports a seek positioning error (15h), no seek complete error (02h), or track follow error (09h), and the sense
key reports a recovered error (1h). If all three reseeks fail, a seek positioning error (15h) is reported with a
Medium (3h) or Hardware error (4h) reported in the Sense Key. This is an unrecoverable seek error.
Unrecoverable seek errors are classified as failures for MTBF calculations. Ref. section 5.1.1.2 of SCSI-2
Interface Product Manual P/N 77738479.
6.2Reliability and service
6.2.1Mean time between failure
The production disc drive shall achieve an MTBF of 800,000 hours when operated in a benign atmosphere at
an average disc drive ambient temperature of 95°F (35°C) or less as measured per this Product Manual,
paragraph 7.4.1. Short term excursions up to the specification limits of the operating environment will not affect
MTBF performance.
The following expression defines MTBF:
Estimated power-on operating hours in the period
MTBF per measurement period =
Number of drive failures in the period
Estimated power-on operation hours means power-up hours per disc drive times the total number of disc drives
in service. Each disc drive shall have accumulated at least nine months of operation. Data shall be calculated
on a rolling average base for a minimum period of six months.
Drive failure means any stoppage or substandard performance caused by drive malfunction.
6.2.2Preventive maintenance
No routine scheduled preventive maintenance shall be required.
6.2.3Service life
The drive shall have a useful service life of five years. Depot repair or replacement of major parts is permitted
during the lifetime (6.2.4).
Special equipment is required to repair the drive HDA. In order to achieve the above service life, repairs must
be performed only at a properly equipped and staffed service and repair facility. Troubleshooting and repair
of PCBs in the field is not recommended, because of the extensive diagnostic equipment required for effective
servicing. Also, there are no spare parts available for this drive. Drive warranty is voided if the HDA is opened.
6.2.5Installation
The drive is designed, manufactured, and tested with a “Plug in and Play” installation philosophy. This
philosophy minimizes the requirements for highly trained personnel to integrate the drive into the OEM’s
system, whether in a factory or field environment.
The drive has been low level formatted at the factory and need not be reformatted.
6.2.6Service tools
No special tools are required for site installation or recommended for site maintenance. Refer to Paragraph
6.2.4. The depot repair philosophy of the drive precludes the necessity for special tools. Field repair of the drive
is not practical since there are no user purchasable parts in the drive.
6.2.7Product warranty
Beginning on the date of shipment to customer and continuing for a period of five years, Seagate warrants that
each product (including components and subassemblies) or spare part that fails to function properly under
normal use due to defect in materials on workmanship or due to nonconformance to the applicable
specifications will be repaired or replaced, at Seagate’s option and at no charge to customer, if returned by
customer at customer’s expense to Seagate’s designated facility in accordance with Seagate’s Warranty
Procedure. Seagate will pay for transporting the repair or replacement item to customer. For more detailed
warranty information refer to the Standard terms and conditions of Purchase for Seagate products.
Shipping:
When transporting or shipping a drive, a Seagate approved container must be used. Keep your original box.
They are easily identified by the Seagate Approved Package label. Shipping a drive in a non-approved
container voids the drive warranty.
Seagate repair centers may refuse receipt of components improperly packaged or obviously damaged in
transit. Contact your Authorized Seagate Distributor to purchase additional boxes. Seagate recommends
shipping by an air-ride carrier experienced in handling computer equipment.
Product repair and return information
Seagate customer service centers are the only facilities authorized to service Seagate drives. Seagate does
not sanction any third-party repair facilities. Any unauthorized repair or tampering with the factory-seal voids
the warranty.

[2] A droop of up to -10% is permissible during the T2 portion of power up (see Figure 7.2.2-1).
[3] This condition occurs when the Motor Start Option is enabled and the drive has not yet received a Start
Motor command.
[4] See paragraph 7.2.1 “Conducted Noise Immunity”.
[5] Peaks of 0.90 A (nominal) on +12 V will occur for no more than 100 ms total during the first 250 ms after
power is applied.
[6] Instantaneous peaks in excess of these values and less than 5 msec. in duration are allowed.
General Notes from Table 7.2-1:
1. At powerup, the motor current regulator limits the 12 volt current to a peak value of less than 1.9
amperes, although instantaneous peaks may occur as stated in [7] above.
2. Operating condition is defined as random seek read of 64 blocks.
3. Minimum operating current loading for each supply voltage is not less than 38% of the maximum operating
current shown.
4. The +5 and +12 volt supplies shall employ separate ground returns.
5. Where power is provided to multiple drives from a common supply, careful consideration for individual drive
power requirements should be noted. Where multiple units are powered on simultaneously, the peak
starting current must be available to each device.
7.2.1Conducted noise immunity
Noise is specified as a periodic and random distribution of frequencies covering a band from DC to 10 mHz.
Maximum allowed noise values given below are peak to peak measurements and apply at the drive power
connector.
+5 V =150 mV pp from 0 to 50 kHz and 45 mA pp from 50 kHz to 10 mHz.
+12 V =150 mV pp from 0 to 50 kHz and 60 mA pp from 50 kHz to 10 mHz.
The drive does not require power sequencing. The drive protects against inadvertent writing during power up
and down. Daisy-chain operation requires that power be maintained on the terminated drive to ensure proper
termination of the peripheral I/O cables.
7.2.312 V - current profile
Figure 7.2.2-1 identifies the drive +5 V and +12 V current profile. The current during the various times is as
shown:
T -Power is applied to the drive.
T1 -Controller self tests are performed.
T2 -Spindle begins to accelerate under current limiting after performing drive internal diagnostics. See Note
1 of Table 7.2-1.
T3 -The spindle is up to speed and the Head-Arm restraint is unlocked.
T4 -The heads move from the landing zone to the data area.
T5 -The adaptive calibration sequence is performed.
T6 -Calibration is complete and the drive is ready for reading and writing.

7.3Heat/power dissipation
For drives with single ended interface circuits, typical operating random read power dissipation is 9.0 watts
(30.8 BTUs per hour) of DC power average at nominal voltages. Typical power dissipation under idle conditions
is 6.0 watts (20.5 BTUs per hour).
For drives with differential interface circuits, typical operating random read power dissipation is 9.5 watts (32.5
BTUs per hour) of DC power average at nominal voltages. Typical power dissipation under idle conditions is
6.75 watts (23.1 BTUs per hours).
7.4Environmental limits
Temperature and humidity values experienced by the drive must be such that condensation does not occur
on any drive part. Altitude and atmospheric pressure specifications are referenced to a standard day at 58.7°F
(14.8°C). Maximum Wet Bulb temperature is 82°F (28°C).
7.4.1Temperature
a. Operating
The drive meets all specifications over a 41°F to 131°F (5°C to 55°C) drive ambient temperature range with
a maximum gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. The enclosure for the drive should be designed such that
the temperatures at the locations specified in Table 7.4.1-1, column 1 are not exceeded. Air flow may be
needed to achieve these temperature values. Operation at case temperatures above these values may
adversely affect the drives ability to meet specifications.
The MTBF specification for the drive is based on operating at an ambient temperature of 95°F (35°C).
Occasional excursions to drive ambient temperatures of 55°C or 5°C may occur without impact to specified
MTBF. To achieve the specified MTBF, the values of Table 7.4.1-1 Column 2 must be considered
maximum average operating case temperatures. Air flow may be needed to achieve these temperatures.
Continual or sustained operation at case temperatures above these values may degrade MTBF.

air may be required to ensure that these values are not exceeded.
b. Non-Operating
-40° to 158°F (-40° to 70°C) package ambient with a maximum gradient of 45°F (25°C) per hour. This

7.4.4Shock and vibration
Shock and vibration limits specified in this document are measured directly on the drive chassis. If the drive
is installed in an enclosure to which the stated shock and/or vibration criteria is applied, resonance’s may occur
internally to the enclosure resulting in drive movement in excess of the stated limits. If this situation is apparent,
it may be necessary to modify the enclosure to minimize drive movement.
The limits of shock and vibration defined within this document are specified with the drive mounted by any of
the four methods shown in Figure 7.4.4-1. Orientation of the side nearest the LED may be up or down.
7.4.4.1Shock
a. Operating
The drive, as installed for normal operation, shall operate error free while subjected to intermittent shock
not exceeding 10 g’s at a maximum duration of 11 ms (half sinewave). Shock may be applied in the X, Y,
or Z axis.
b. Nonoperating
The limits of nonoperating shock shall apply to all conditions of handling and transportation. This includes
both isolated drives and integrated drives.
The drive subjected to nonrepetitive shock not exceeding 75 g’s at a maximum duration of 11 ms (half
sinewave) shall not exhibit device damage or performance degradation. Shock may be applied in the X,
Y, or Z axis.
c. Packaged
The drive as packaged in a single or multiple drive pack of gross weight 20 pounds (8.95 kg) or less by
Seagate for general freight shipment shall withstand drop test from heights listed below against a concrete
floor or equivalent. For additional details refer to specifications 30190-001 (under 100 lbs) or 30191-001

7.5Electromagnetic compatibility
7.5.1Electromagnetic susceptibility
As a component assembly, the drive is not required to meet any susceptibility performance requirements. It
is the responsibility of the system integrator to perform those tests required to ensure that equipment operating
in the same system as the drive does not adversely affect the performance of the drive. See section 6.1.2, and
see Table 7.2-1, DC Power Requirements.

7.6.1Drive orientation
The balanced rotary arm actuator design of the drive allows it to be mounted in any orientation. All drive
performance characterization, however, has been done with the drive in horizontal (discs level) and vertical
(drive on its side) orientations, and these are the two preferred mounting orientations.
7.6.2Cooling
Cabinet cooling must be designed by the customer so that the ambient temperature immediately surrounding
the drive will not exceed temperature conditions specified in 7.4.1. Specific consideration should be given to
make sure adequate air circulation is present around the PCBs to meet the requirements of 7.4.1. Cables
should be routed such that they do not block cooling air flow.
7.6.3Drive mounting
When mounting the drive using the bottom holes care must be taken to ensure that the drive is not physically
distorted due to a stiff non-flat mounting surface. The allowable mounting surface stiffness is 80 lb/in (14.0
N/mm). The following equation and paragraph define the allowable mounting surface stiffness:
k * x = 80 lb (14.0 N)
where ‘k’ represents the mounting surface stiffness (units of lb/in or N/mm), and, ‘x’ represents the out-of-plane
mounting surface distortion (units of inches or millimeters). The out-of-plane distortion (‘x’) is determined by
defining a plane with three of the for mounting points fixed and evaluating the out-of-plane deflection of the
fourth mounting point when a known force is applied to the fourth point.

8.0Media characteristics
8.1Media description
The media used on the drive has a diameter of approximately 3.7 inches (95 mm). The aluminum substrate
is coated with a thin film magnetic material, overcoated with a proprietary protective layer for improved durability
and environmental protection.

9.0Defect and error management
The drive, as delivered, complies with this specification. The read error rate and specified storage capacity are
not dependent upon use of defect management routines by the host (initiator).
Defect and error management in the SCSI system involves the drive internal defect/error management and
SCSI systems error considerations (errors in communications between Initiator and the drive). Tools for use
in designing a defect/error management plan are briefly outlined in this section, with references to other
sections where further details are given.
9.1Drive internal defects/errors
Identified defects are recorded on the drive defects list tracks (referred to as the primary or ETF defect list).
These known defects are reallocated during the initial drive format operation at the factory. (See Format Unit
command Section 5.2.1.2 in SCSI Interface Product Manual*). Data correction by ECC will be applied to
recover data from additional flaws if they occur.
Details of the SCSI commands supported by the drive are described in SCSI Product Interface Manual*.
Also, more information on the drive Error Recovery philosophy is presented in Section 6 of the SCSI Interface
Product Manual.
9.2SCSI systems error considerations
Information on the reporting of operational errors or faults across the interface is given in the SCSI Interface
Product Manual. Message Protocol System is described in the SCSI Interface Product Manual*. Several of the
messages are used in the SCSI systems error management system. The Request Sense command returns
information to the host about numerous kinds of errors or faults. The Receive Diagnostic Results reports the
results of diagnostic operations performed by the drive.
Status returned by the drive to the Initiator is described in the SCSI Interface Manual*. Status reporting plays
a role in the SCSI systems error management and its use in that respect is described in sections where the
various commands are discussed.

(connected to the I/O lines). Default is jumper installed.
OffTerminator circuits not connected to I/O lines.
DSME
OffOffSpindle starts immediately after power up - Default setting.
OffOnDrive spindle does not start until Start Unit command received from host.
OnOffSpindle Startup is delayed by SCSI ID times 12 seconds after power is applied, i.e., drive 0
spindle starts immediately when DC power connected, drive 1 starts after 12 second delay,
drive 2 starts after 24 second delay, etc.
OnOnDrive spindle starts when Start Unit command received from host. Delayed start feature is
overridden and does not apply when ME jumper is installed.
WP
OnEntire drive is write protected.
OffDrive is not write protected. Default is no WP jumper installed.
PE
OnParity checking and parity error reporting by the drive is enabled. Default is PE jumper
installed.
OffDrive does not report result of parity checking to host.
SS
OffReserved jumper position. Default is no jumper installed.
TPTP
OffOffNo terminator power is connected to drive terminators or SCSI bus I/O pin 26.
OnOffDrive supplies its own terminator power only. Jumper on this position is factory default.
OffOnDrive supplies power to I/O pin 26 of SCSI bus; none to internal terminators. When drives have
differential I/O circuits, a jumper on the right TP position may be needed to power external
terminators (see system documentation). The "ND" drive has differential I/O circuits which
have no terminator circuits on the drive.
OnOnDrive supplies terminator power to itself (internal connection) and to I/O pin 26 of SCSI bus.
This is a legal jumper setting.

not be used at the same time, because at some future time when the ID is changed the user
could fail to configure both J5 and J6 the same. Default is ID = 0.
LEDNo jumper ever installed. These pins used to connect a cable for a remote LED indicator. Pin
3 (top, nearest HDA), the anode connection, connects in the drive to the +5V supply through
a pull-up resistor. Pin 4 (bottom), the cathode connection connects in the drive to signal
common through the emitter-collector junction of a transistor switch that controls the LED on/
off condition.
10.2Grounding
Signal ground (PCB) and HDA ground are connected together in the drive and cannot be separated by the user.
The equipment in which the drive is mounted is connected directly to the HDA and PCB with no electrically
isolating shock mounts. If it is desired for the system chassis to not be connected to the HDA/PCB ground, the
systems integrator or user must provide a nonconductive (electrically isolating) method of mounting the drive
in the host equipment.

per the format given in the SCSI-2 Interface Product Manual P/N 77738479, section 5.1.1.3.
Table 11.3.1-1. Hawk 2LP family drive Standard Inquiry data
02 means SCSI-2/SCSI-3 implemented. Hawk 2LP Family drives can be changed between these two
configurations. Default is 02.
***01 means response data is in SCSI-1 format and has compatibility with Common Command Set data.
02 means response data is in SCSI-2/SCSI-3 format (some SCSI-3 features are also supported). The
drive can be changed between these two configurations. Default is 02.
R#Four ASCII digits representing the last four digits of the product Firmware Release number. This
information is also given in the Vital Product data page C0h, together with servo RAM and ROM release

11.3.1.2Inquiry Vital Product data
Instead of the standard Inquiry data shown in Table 11.3.1-1, the initiator can request several Vital Product Data
pages by setting the Inquiry command EVPD bit to one. The SCSI, Version 2 Interface Product Manual P/N
77738479, section 5.1.1.3.1 lists the Vital Product Data pages supported and describes their formats. A
separate Inquiry command must be sent to the drive for each Vital Product Data page the initiator wants the
drive to send back.
36 Product Manual - Hawk 2LP Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. F
______________________________________________________________________________________
11.3.2Mode Sense data
The Mode Sense command provides a means for the drive to report its operating parameters to the initiator.
The drive maintains four sets of Mode parameters, Default values, Saved values, Current values and
Changeable values.
Default values are hard coded in the drive firmware that is stored in flash E-PROM nonvolatile memory on the
drive PCB. Default values can be changed only by downloading a complete set of new firmware into the flash
E-PROM. An initiator can request and receive from the drive a list of Default values and use those in a Mode
Select command to set up new Current and Saved values.
Saved values are stored on the disk media using a Mode Select command. Only parameter values that are
allowed to be changed can be changed by this method. See “Changeable values” defined below. Parameters
in the Saved values list that are not changeable by the Mode Select command get their values from the Default
values storage.
Current values are volatile values currently being used by the drive to control its operation. A Mode Select
command can be used to change these values (only those that are changeable). Originally, they are installed
from Saved or Default values after a power on reset, hard reset, or Bus Device Reset message.
Changeable values form a bit mask, stored in nonvolatile memory, that dictates which of the Current values
and Saved values can be changed by a Mode Select command. A “one” allows a change to a corresponding
bit; a “zero” allows no change. For example, in Table 11.3.2-1 refer to Mode page 01, in the first row entitled
“CHG”. These are hex numbers representing the changeable values for Mode page 01. Note in columns 1 and
2 (bytes 00 and 01), there is 00h, which indicates that in bytes 00 and 01 none of the bits are changeable. Note
also that bytes 04, 05, 06 and 07 are not changeable, because those fields are all zeros. In bytes 02, hex value
FF equates to the binary pattern 1111 1111. If there were a zero in any bit position in the field, it would mean
that bit is not changeable. However, bits 7 - 0 are changeable, because those bits are all ones. In this particular
case, it indicates 8 error recovery control bits are all changeable. FF in column 4 indicates all bits in byte 3 are
changeable.
The Changeable values list can only be changed by downloading new firmware into the flash E-PROM.
On drives requiring unique Saved values, the required unique Saved values are stored into the Saved values
storage location on the media prior to shipping the drive. Some drives may have unique firmware with unique
Default values also.
On standard OEM drives the Saved values are taken from the Default values list and stored into the Saved
values storage location on the media prior to shipping.
When a drive is powered up, it takes Saved values from the media and stores them to the Current values storage
in volatile memory. It is not possible to change the Current values (or the saved values) with a Mode Select
command before the drive is up to speed and is “ready.” An attempt to do so results in a “Check Condition” status
being returned.
Note.
Because there may be several different versions of drive control firmware in the total population of drives in
the field, the Mode Sense values given in the following tables may not exactly match those of some drives.

11.6.2Physical characteristics
This section defines the connectors, cables, signals, terminators and bus timing needed to implement SCSI.
11.6.2.1Physical description
The drives may be daisy-chained together or with other compatible SCSI devices using a common cable. Both
ends of the cable must be terminated. The "N" model drive implements single ended drivers and receivers.
The "ND" model drive implements differential drivers and receivers. All signals are common between all SCSI
devices. The drive may be daisy-chained only with SCSI devices having the same type drivers and receivers.
Devices having single ended interface circuits cannot be on the same daisy-chain with devices having
differential interface circuit. A maximum of 8 SCSI devices (including the Host) may be daisy-chained together.
The SCSI Devices at both ends of the daisy-chain are to be terminated. Intermediate SCSI devices shall not
be terminated (see Figure 11.6.3-2). Remove the terminator enable jumper TE on J2 select header ("N"
models), or the external terminators ("ND" models), not the terminator power source selector jumper TP
(Figure 10.1-1).
11.6.2.2Cable requirements
The maximum total cable length for use with drives having single ended I/O driver and receiver circuits shall
be 6 metres (19.7 ft.) when operating at line data transfer rates of 5 Mbytes/sec or less, and 3 metres (9.85
ft.) when operating at transfer rates greater than 5 Mbytes/sec (FAST SCSI). A stub length of no more than
0.1 metre (0.33 ft.) is allowed off the mainline interconnection with any connected equipment. An ideal
impedance match with cable terminators implies a cable characteristic impedance of 132 ohms. Single ended
I/O cable pin assignments are shown in Table 11.6.3-1.
Product Manual - Hawk 2LP Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. F 45
_____________________________________________________________________________________
11.6.2.3General cable characteristics
In general, cables having the characteristic impedance’s given in 11.6.2.2 are not available; however,
impedance’s that are somewhat lower are satisfactory. A characteristic impedance of 100 ohm ±10% is
recommended for unshielded flat or twisted pair ribbon cable. However, most available cables have a
somewhat lower characteristic impedance. To minimize discontinuances and signal reflections, cables of
different impedance’s should not be used in the same bus. Implementations may require trade-offs in shielding
effectiveness, cable length, the number of loads, transfer rates, and cost to achieve satisfactory system
operation. If shielded and unshielded cables are mixed within the same SCSI bus, the effect of impedance
mismatch must be carefully considered. Proper impedance matching is especially important in order to
maintain adequate margin at FAST SCSI transfer rates.
Only nonshielded cable connectors are applicable. A 50 conductor flat cable or 25 twisted pair cable shall be
used. A minimum conductor size of 28 AWG should be used to minimize noise effects.
Suggested nonshielded flat cable part numbers are:
Flat cable - 35M-3365-50Twisted pair - Spectra Twist in flat 455-248-50
11.6.3Mating connector requirements
11.6.3.1Mating connectors for models N/ND
The nonshielded cable connector shall be a 50 conductor connector consisting of two rows of 25 male contacts
with adjacent contacts 100 mils apart.
Recommended mating flat cable connector part numbers are:

11.6.4Electrical description
Model "N" drives use single ended interface signals. These signals must be terminated with 110 ohm active
termination circuits at each end of the total cable. On "N" models, the terminators are enabled (or disabled) by
installing (or removing) jumper plug TE. See Figure 10.1-1. Single Ended circuits use open collector or three
state drivers. See Figure 11.6.4-1 and 11.6-1. The model NC has no provisions for terminators on the drive.
The "ND" model drives use differential interface signals and each of these must be terminated at each end of
the total cable with 330 ohms to +5 V and 330 ohms to ground with 150 ohms between each differential pair.
All I/O circuits are open collector, three state drivers. See Figure 11.6.4-2 for circuit drawing. Differential I/O
drives are shipped without terminators. These drives have no provisions for adding terminator sockets on the
PCB. On these drives some method of external termination must be provided by the drive user, systems
integrator or host equipment manufacturer.
11.6.4.1Single ended drivers/receivers
For "N" models which use single ended drivers and receivers, typical circuits are shown in Figure 11.6.4-1.
Terminator circuits (Note [1]) are to be enabled (model N) only when the disc drive is first or last in the daisychain.
Transmitter Characteristics
Single ended drives use an ANSI SCSI compatible open collector single ended driver. This driver is capable
of sinking a current of 48 mA with a low level output voltage of 0.4 volt.
Receiver Characteristics
Single ended drives use an ANSI SCSI single ended receiver with hysteresis gate or equivalent as a line
receiver.

_____________________________________________________________________________________
11.6.4.2Differential drivers/receivers
Differential drivers and receivers are used by the "ND" models. Typical circuits are shown in Figure 11.6.4-2.
The drive has no provisions for terminator circuits on differential I/O drives.
Differential Signals
All differential interface signals consist of two lines denoted +SIGNAL and -SIGNAL. A signal is true when
+SIGNAL is more positive than -SIGNAL, and a signal is false when -SIGNAL is more positive than +SIGNAL.
All assigned signals shall be terminated at each end of the cable as shown in Figure 11.6.4-2. Drive user or
systems integrator must provide some external means of termination.
Output Characteristics
Each signal driven by differential interface drives shall have the following output characteristics when
measured at the disc drive SCSI connector:
Low-level output voltage* = 2.0 V maximum at Low-level output current = 55 milliamps.
High-level output voltage* = 3.0 V minimum at High-level output current = -55 milliamps
Differential voltage = 1.0 V minimum with common-mode voltage ranges from -7 V dc to +12 V dc.
* These voltages shall be measured between the output terminal and the SCSI device’s logic ground reference.
The output characteristics shall additionally conform to EIA RS-485-1983.
Input Characteristics
Each signal received by differential interface drives shall have the following input characteristics when
measured at the disc drive SCSI connector:
Input current on either input = +2.0 milliamps maximum (includes both receivers and passive drivers).
This requirement shall be met with the input voltage varying between -7 V dc and +12 V dc, with power on or
off, and with the hysteresis equaling 35 mv, minimum.
The input characteristics shall additionally conform to EIA RS-485-1983.

be provided external to the drive by user, systems integrator or host equipment manufacturer where
needed. The drive has no terminators and there are no provisions on the drive for terminator installation.
[5] Arrangements for connecting terminator power to the terminators must be made by the systems designer.
As a help, drive +5 V power is made available on SCSI bus pin 26 ("N" and "ND" models) for powering
external terminators if the drive option select header jumper TP (Figure 10.1-1) is installed in rightmost

______________________________________________________________________________________
11.6.4.3Terminator requirements
Internal disc drive I/O termination (provided only in single ended I/O model drives) consists of active circuits
in an LSI module that is permanently mounted on the PCB. All single initiator/single target (nondaisychain)
applications require that the Initiator and disc drive be terminated. Daisychain applications require that only the
units at each end of the daisy-chain be terminated. All other peripherals on the chain must not be terminated.
(See Figure 11.6.3-2).
Note.Remove drive terminator enabling jumper TE (see Figure 10.1-1) where terminators are not required.
Removal of terminator power source selection jumper TP (see Figure 10.1-1) does not disconnect
the terminator resistors from the circuit.
It is highly recommended that ANSI SCSI-2 Standard's Alternative 2 termination (active termination) be used
for applications with single-ended ("N" models), especially if the bus will be operated at transfer rates above
5 Mbytes/sec. The "N" model provides on-board active termination that can be disabled by removal of the
enable jumper TE (see Figure 10.1-1).
Note.ACTIVE TERMINATORS ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN THE DAISYCHAIN AS
DESCRIBED ABOVE. ACTIVE AND PASSIVE TERMINATORS SHOULD NOT BE MIXED ON THE
SAME SCSI BUS.
Differential I/O "ND" models do not have terminators on the PCB. The user, systems integrator or host
equipment manufacturer must provide a terminator arrangement external to the drive.
11.6.4.4Terminator power
The drive may be configured to accept terminator power from pin 26 of the SCSI Bus, to supply power to the
SCSI bus or to provide terminator power for internal termination circuits from the drive power connector. See
Figures 10.1-1 and 11.6-1. The drive can provide power both to its own terminators and to the SCSI Bus
terminator power line (Pin 26) if both "TP" jumpers are on.
SCSI devices providing terminator power (TERMPWR)* shall have the following characteristics:
V TERM = 4.50 V to 5.25 V
800 mA min source drive capability
1.0 A maximum
*See Figure 10.1-1 for configuration details.
