Handling precautions/electrostatic discharge pr otection

• Disc drive s are fragi le. Do not dr op or jar the drive and handle the drive only by the edges or frame.

• Drive electronics are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Keep the drive in its antistatic container until you are ready to install it. Wear a wr ist strap and cable connected to gr ound. Di scharge stati c from all items near or that will contact the drive. Never use an ohmmeter on any circuit boards.

• Turn off the power to the host system during installation.

• Always use forced-air ventilation when operating the drive.

• Use caution when troubleshooting a unit that has voltages present.

• Do not disassemble the drive; doing so voids the warranty.

• Return the entire drive for depot service if any part is defect ive.

• Do not apply pressure or attach labels to circuit board or drive top.

What you need

• Phillips screwdriver and four 6-32 UNC drive mounting screws

• F orced-air ve ntilation to pr ovid e adequa te drive cooling

• An unused drive power connector (not appl icable to LC/LCV models)

To operate at LVD transfer rates, you may also need an LVD-capable SCSI host ad apter, LVD I/O cable and active ne gation external terminator

Multimode interface

This drive can operate in single-ended (SE) or lo w voltage differential (LVD) mode. Thi s multimod e capability pr ovides backw ards compat ibility so you can use it with or without an LVD-capable host adapter. The primary benefits of LVD technology include faster transfer rates, reduced power consumption, increased allowable cable lengths, and improved device connectivity.

You can configure the drive to switch between SE and LVD modes automatically or force it to operat e in SE mode only. To configure this option, see Figure 2.

To operat e at the Ultra 2 ra te s in LVD mode, a ll devi ce s on the s a me

Installation instructions

1. Set the SCSI ID

Determine which SCSI IDs are already being used in the system and then assign this disc drive a SCSI ID that isn’t already being used. Use the J6 connector located on the front of the drive to set the SCSI ID (see Figure 1).

• Most ST173404 drives are factory set with the SCSI ID set at 0. If this is

• The host system’s SCSI controller usually uses SCSI ID 7.

• If you have an L C or LCV mode l dr ive, t h e h os t no r m ally set s th e ID over

the I/O interface, so you don’t need to worry about this step.

• Some s ystems provid e a cable desi gned to con nect to the J5 jumpe r block on the driv e to remotely set the ID. You can connect this cable to J5 and use the host-provided remote switch to set the SCSI ID.

Figure 1. Setting the SCSI ID

2. Configure termination

If you are installing the drive in a system that has other SCSI devices installed, terminate only the end devices on the SCSI bus (cable). This drive does not have internal terminators or any other way of adding internal termination on the drive. You must provide external termination when termination is required. This is normally done by adding an inline terminator on the end of the cable. See Figure 3 for an illustration showing a system configuration that uses an extern a l ter m in ato r.

• Use active (ANSI SCSI-2 Alternative 2) single-ended terminators when terminating a bus operating in single-ended mode.

• Use SPI- 2-c omp liant active low volt age di ffere nti al ter min at ors w hen te rminating a SCSI Ultra2 bus operating in LVD mode.

• The host adapter is normally on the end of the bus and internally terminated. You can configure your bus with another device on the end if you remove termination from the host adap ter.

3. Configure t e rmina tor power

Ter minators have to get power from some source. The default configuration results in the drive not supplying termination power to the bus. You should normally leave this drive set at this default un less yo ur host system requires the drive to sup ply ter minati on power to the bus. To config ure this drive to supply termination power to the bus, place a jumper on J2 pins 1 and 2 as shown in Figure 2.

• Host systems designed to use LC and LCV drives normally provide termination powe r fro m th e ho st adap ter or o the r so urce. For thi s reas on, L C and LCV model drives cannot be configured to provide termination power to the bus.
