Electrostatic disch arge protecti 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 electricity.
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 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 installin g the DC power
cable.
• Do not remove any circuit boards from the drive.
• Never use an ohmmeter on any circuit boards.
• When installing th e drive on a carrier or t ray, discharge the
carrier or tray prior to inserting it into the system.
Important safety inform ati on and precau tion s

• Do not remove any circuit boards from the drive chassis.
Return the entire drive for depot repair if any circuit board is defective. Removal of circuit boards by personnel not perform­ing depot repair will damage components and may void the warranty.
• Do not remove the head and disc assembly (HDA) from the
drive chassis. 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.
4 Barracuda 9 Installation Guide, Rev. A As a component, this drive is d esigned to be installe d and op er-
ated 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 design. Safety agencies conditionally certi fy component assemblies, such as the Barracuda disc drive, based on their final acceptability in the end-use product. The subsystem designers are responsible for meeting these conditions of accepta b il ity in obtaining safety-regulatory agency compliance in their end-use products and for certifying where requir ed by law. A necessary part of meeting safety requirements 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 Department to assist the subsystem designer.

General description

Barracuda 9 SCSI disc drives are high-speed, random-access digital-data storage devices.
The drive i s a componen t for installation in an enclos ure designed for the drive. This is often a rack within the system or an external enclosure designed to hous e one or more disc drives or other peripheral units. In either case, the disc drive must receive adequate cooling (refer to “Providing ad equate cooling” ) and it must be sufficiently grounded and shielded from emis­sions. The
83329030) contains guidelines for a properly designed enclosure.

Initial setup information

The general information beginning on this page applies to all of the Barracuda 9 drive models. After reading the general informa­tion topics, refer to t he appropriate drive-specific section listed below for additional information about configur ing and installing your particular model.

General informa tion

The following general information topics are discussed:
• SCSI ID jumpers
• Drive termination
• Terminator power
• Interface drivers and data path width notes
• Other applicable jumper options
• Providing adequate cooling
• Mounting the drive and connecting cables*
• Formatting the drive *This mounting procedure does not apply to WC or DC model
drives. To mount a WC or DC drive, plug the drive into the sys­tem’s single connector attachment (SCA) position on the sys­tem’s back panel.
Barracuda 9 Installation Guide, Rev. A 17

SCSI ID jumpers

Each device on the SCSI chain must h ave a unique SCSI ID. The host system’s SCSI controller usually uses the highest-num­bered ID available; therefore the lower-numbered SCSI IDs are normally used for other SCSI devices such as this Barracuda disc drive.
Note. Most SCSI controllers (host adapters) allow you to skip a
SCSI ID. For example, you can have ID0, ID1, and ID3 (skipping ID2). Other controll ers do not allow this so be sure to refer to your system or controller user’s manual for details about its requirements for proper SCSI device installati on.
Most Barracuda disc drives are factory set with the SCSI ID set at 0. To change the SCSI ID, refer to t he appropriate drive sec­tion for your model.
If, after completing the install ation process, the dr ive’s LED does not show on/off activity when the host is trying to comm unicate with the drive, a duplicate SCSI ID may be the problem. If this is the case, change the ID so that each d evice on the SCSI chain has its own unique ID. Also check your system or controller user’s manual to ensure that you have not violated its SCSI ID numbering recommendations.

Drive terminati on

If you are installing a Barracuda 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 th e other end (both are terminated). The bottom example shows two additional SCSI devices connected externally—this means the SCSI con­troller is no longer on the end of the SCSI chain and should not be terminated.
Note. Some controllers prefer to remain terminated even if they
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 bot h 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.
Figure 2. SCSI bus termination
Barracuda 9 Installation Guide, Rev. A 19

Terminator power

You usually will not need to change this option and can normally leave the drive configured as it was shipped from the factory. For information about how to change the terminator power option on your drive, refer to the appropriate drive-specific section.

I/O circuits and data path widths

• WD and DC models use differential I/O circuits. You cannot
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 (non-wide) 8-bit data bus.

Providin g adequ ate cool ing

The enclosure design must ensure adequate cooling for the drive. The maximum ambient temperature is 50°C.
The drive’s product manual (83329030) describes how to evalu­ate the air-flow design. The evaluation consists of e nsuring that the case temperature of certain critical components remains within acceptable limits during drive operation.
We recommend orienting the drive or directing the air flow in a way that creates the l east 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
20 Barracuda 9 Installation Guide, Rev. A traveled by air that is heated by the drive and by other nearby
heat sources. Figure 3 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 directed from front to back, back to front, or side to side.

Kühlung des S ystem s
Die Gehäusekonstruktion m uß eine ausr eichende Kühlung d es Laufwerk es gewährl eisten . Die Umge bungste mperatur darf maximal 50°C betragen.
Die Produkthandbuch Barracuda 9 (Dokument 83329030) enthalten Anwei sungen zur Beur teilung der Luftst romkonstruk­tion. Die Beurteilu ng muß sicherst ellen, daß sich die Ge häuse­temperatur bestimmter kritischer Komponenten bei Laufwerkbetrieb innerhalb zugelassener Grenzen hält.
Wir empfehlen, das Laufwerk so zu orientieren oder den Luft­strom so zu lenke n, daß der gering ste Luftstrom widerstand 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 Laufwerk und anderen nahegelegenen Hitzequellen aufgewärmte Luft zurücklegt, auf ein Minimum beschränkt.
Abbildung 3 zeigt zwei Konstruktionsmöglichkeiten, bei denen ein oder mehrere Lüfter den Luftstrom erzeugen. Der Luftstrom­verlauf 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.

Mounti ng the drive and co nne ctin g cable s

Do not touch the connector pins or any components on the con­trol board without observing static-discharge precautions. Always handle the drive by the frame only.
The drive may be mounted in any orientati on (horizontall y, verti­cally, 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 drive and there are four mounting holes in the bottom of the drive.
The maximum length that the screws should extend into the chassis mounting holes is 0.15 inch (3.81 m m), measured from the outer surface of the chassis. Tighten the screws down evenly. Do not over-tighten or force the screw if it does not seem to s crew in easily, because this means the threads are not properly aligned. In this case, back the screw out and try again.
Installatio 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 Rahmen an.
Das Laufwerk kann in beliebiger Orientierung (horizontal, ver­tikal oder schräg) installiert w erden; jedoch muß dafür gesorgt werden, daß ein ausreichender Luftstrom zur Kühlung des Lauf­werkes vorhanden ist.
24 Barracuda 9 Installation Guide, Rev. A
1. Befestigen Sie das Laufwerk mit vier 6-32-UNC-Schrauben
am Gehäuse des Host- Systems. Die beiden Se iten des Laufwerkes sind mit jeweils zwei Befestigungslöchern versehen, die Unterseite des Laufwerkes weist vier weitere Befestigungslöcher auf.
Gemessen von der Außenfläch e des Gehäuses dürfen die Schrauben maximal 3,81 mm in die Befestigungslöcher des Gehüus es hinei nragen. D ie Sch rauben m üssen gleich­mäßig, jedoch nicht zu fest, angezogen werden. Wenn sich eine Schraube nicht ohne Widerstand einschrauben läßt, sind die Gewinde ni cht korrekt aneinander ausger ichtet. In diesem Fall die Schraube nicht in das Gewindeloch forcieren, sondern die Schraube herausnehmen und erneut in das Gewindeloch einführen.
2. Verify that all connections between the drive and the host
system are correctly installed.
2. Prüfen Sie, ob alle Verbindungen zwischen dem Laufwerk
und dem Host-System korrekt hergestellt sind.
3. Verify that you have correctly installed 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 the SCSI connector. The output of a power supply must meet SELV (safety extra low voltage) as
Barracuda 9 Installation Guide, Rev. A 25

26 Barracuda 9 Installation Guide, Rev. A Note. Signal ground on the power control board (PCB) and the
head and disc assembly (HDA) are connected to gether 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 connected to the HDA/PCB ground, you must provide a nonconductive (electrically isolating) method of mounting the drive in the host system. This may increase radiated emissions and is the system designer’s responsibility.
Hinweis :
Die Signalerde auf der Stromregelungskarte (PCB) und der Kopf- und Festplatteneinheit (HDA) sind in diesem Laufwerk miteinander verbunden und können nicht getrennt werden. Das Gerät, in das Sie das Laufwerk eingebaut haben, ist ohne elektrisch isolierende Stoßdämpfer direkt an die HDA und PCB angeschlossen. Die elektromagnetische Strahlung kann reduziert wer­den, indem Sie eine möglichst große leitende Kontak­fläche zwischen der HDA-Erdung und der Systemerdung vorsehen.
Wenn Sie das Systemgehäuse nicht an die HDA/ PCB­Erdung anschließen wollen, müssen S ie das Laufwerk auf nichtleitende Weise (galvanisch isoliert) im Host-Sys-

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 drive
that previously has been used to store data, unless
your intention is to erase all user data.
1. Turn on DC power.
2. Boot the system from a system floppy disc or from a previ-
ously installed hard disc drive if there is one.
3. Format the disc drive. Barracuda 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.
Quick reference desktop system notes Note. Refer to your system or utility manual for detailed instruc-
tions)

• Macintosh. Use a third-party drive utility (Apple’s HD Setup
utility only works with Apple firmware drives).

Terminating the drive

ST19171N drives are terminated with permanently mounted IC active terminators. If you install one of these drives and it is not on the end of the SCSI bus, disable the terminators by removing the jumper from pins 15 and 16 of connector J2 (see Figure 6). If you install the drive on the end of the SCSI bus, enable termina­tion by installing a jumper on pins 15 and 16 of connector J2.
