Although you can jump ahead to the installation instructions to
get up and running quickly, you may want to read the “General
description” section beginning on page 10 to learn more about
this drive’s multimode capabilities, data bus details, specifica-
ti ons, and cooling requiremen ts.

Handling precautions
•Disc drives are fragile. Do not drop or jar the drive. Use a
padded surface during installation to avoid damaging the
drive.
•Keep the drive in its antistatic bag until you are ready to
ins tall it.
•Protect the drive from static discharge by making sure you
are well grounded before touching the drive. We recommend
wearing a grounded wrist strap (Seagate part number
12263496) throughout the installation process. Do not touch
the connectors or any part of the printed circuit board.
•Always handle the drive by its edges or frame.
•Do not apply pressure or attach labels to t he circuit board or
the top of t he drive.

may void the warranty.
Removal of cir cuit boards by personnel not
All drive electronic assemblies are sensitive to static electricity
due to the electrostatically sensitive devices used within the
drive circui try. Althou gh som e devices such as metal-ox ide semiconductors are extremely sensitive, all semiconductors, as well

as some resistors and capacitors, ma y be damaged or degra ded
by exposure to static electricity.
Elect rost 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 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 circuit boards.
•When inst alli ng the drive on a carrier or t ra y, di scharge the car-
rie r o r tray pr io r to ins e rting it into th e syst e m .

•Use caution when troubleshooting a unit that has voltages
present. Turn off power to the unit befo re 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 usual ly highest.
•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 compo nents and may void the w arranty.
•Do not separate the head and disc assembly (HDA) from the
PCB. Return the entire drive for depot repair if the HDA is
defective.
•Do not attempt to disassemble the HDA. It is not field repair-
abl e. If t he sealed HDA is opened by personn el not performing
depot repair, this will damage components and void the
warranty.

As a component, this drive is designed to be installed and oper-
ated in accordance with UL1950, EN60950, CAN/CSA C22.2
950-M95, 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 cer tify 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 requirement s is the provision for overcurrent protection on drive 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
through the Seagate Safety Depar tment to assist the subsystem
designer.

Regulatory agency compliance
Elect romagneti c susceptibil ity
As a component assembly, the drive is not required to meet any
susceptibili ty perform ance requi rem ents. It is the r esponsibilit y of
those integrating the drive within their systems to perfor m those
tests required and design their system to ensure that equipment
operating in the same system as the drive or external to t he system does not adversely affect the performance of the drive. See
DC power requirements on page 16.
Elect romagnetic compliance
Seagate uses an independent laboratory to confirm compliance
to the dir ectives/standard(s) for CE Marking and C- Tick Marking .
The drive was tested in a representative system for typic al appl ications. The selected system represents the most popular characteristics for test platforms. The sy stem configurations include:
•486, Pentium, and PowerPC microprocessors
•3 . 5 -inc h floppy di sc dr ive
•Keyboard
•Monitor/display
•Printer
•External mo dem
•Mouse
Although the test system with this Seagate model complies to
the directives/standard(s), we cannot guarantee that all systems
will comply. The computer manufacturer or system integrator
shall confirm EMC compliance and provide CE Marking and CTic k M arki ng for their product.

General description
Cheetah 36 SCSI disc drives are high-speed, random-access
digital-data storage devices capab le of operating in single-en ded
(SE) or low voltage di fferential (LVD) modes.
This multimode capability allows you to use this drive in systems
that use the traditional SE technology or in LVD-capable systems.
Figur e 1.Cheetah 36 family drive (LW model shown)
This drive should be mounted in an enclosure designed for the
drive. This is often within the host system case or an external
enclosure designed to house one or more disc drives or other
devices. In either case, the disc drive must receive adequate
cooling (refer to “Providing adequate cooling”) and it must be
suff iciently grounded and shielded from emissions. The
36 Product Manual
(part number 83329440) contains guidelines
for a properly designed enclosure.

Single-ended and low voltage differential mod es
This drive incorporates two different transceivers to allow you to
use it in systems which use single-ended (SE) drivers and
receivers, or in low voltage differential (LVD) capable systems
which use LVD drivers and receivers.
The primary benefits of LVD technology
•Faster transfer rates.
•Reduces power consumption.
•Increases allowable cable lengt hs.
•Improves device connectivity.
You can configure the drive to switch between SE and LVD
modes automatically or force it to operate in SE mode only. To
configur e this option, use the jumper illustration on page 24 (LW
models) or page 34 (LC models).
Note.
To operate at the Ultra2 SCSI rates in LVD mode, all
de vices on th e same bus must be running i n LVD mode. If
you add any single-ended device to a bus that is operating in LVD mode, all devices drop back to operating in
single-ended mode. This eliminates the possibility of
reaching Ultra2 SCSI transfer rates.
Cauti on.
devic es having high volt age diffe rential (HV D) int erface
Do not mix LVD drives on the same bus with
circuits. The circuits are not compatible and drive dam-
age may occu r.
12Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A
Data bus widths
These drives have a wide (16-bit) SCSI data bus. You can use
these drives on a non-wide (8-bit) data bus if you pr ovide proper
termination to the upper eight data li nes. This is often referred to
as providing “hi gh-9 termination” (the other bit is for parity) .
The following table lists the maximum cable lengths and number
of devices using single-ended and LVD I/O cir cuits.

Providing adequate cooling
The enclosure design must ensure adequate cooling for the
drive. The maximum ambient temperature allowed is 50°C.
The drive’s product manual (83329440) describes how to evaluate the air-flow desi gn. The evaluation consists of ensuring that
the case temperature of certain critical components remains
within acceptable limits during drive operation.
Figure 2 shows two design approaches with one or more fans
used to generate air flow. The air-flow patterns can be created
Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A13
by t he fans either pushing or drawing air. The overall flow pattern
can be directed from fr ont to back, back to front, or side to side.
