Preface
This manual contains information for users of the Seagate®
Cheetah 9LP SCSI dis c dri ves. It provides support services, per-
formance specifications, and initial setup information. Additional

Electrostatic discharge protection
Caution.
All drive electronic assemblies are sensitive to static electricity,
due to the electrostatically sensitive devices used within the
drive cir cuitry. Although some devices such as metal- oxide semi-
conductors are extremely sensitive, all semiconductors, as well
as some resistor s and capacitors, may be dama ged or degraded
by exposure to static electricity.
Electrost ati c damage to electronic devices may be caused by t he
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.
Removal of circuit boards by personnel not performing depot repair will damage components and may
void the warranty.

stacked vertically, pay special attention to the top where temperatures are usually 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
repair will damage components and may void the war ranty.
• 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 repairable. 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 is designed to be installed and operated 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 certify 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 requirements is the provision for overcurrent protection on drive SELV supply vol tages.

General description
Cheetah 9LP SCSI disc drives are high-speed, random-access
digital-data storage devices capabl e of operating in single-ended
(SE) or low voltage differential (LVD) modes.
These two modes are offered to allow you to use this drive in
systems that use the traditional SE technology or to use it in
LVD-capable systems. Refer to page 20 for additional information about LVD technology.
The drive is a component for installation in an enclosure
designed for the drive. This is often a rack within the system or
an external enclosur e desi gned to house one or more di sc driv es
or other peripheral units. In either case, the disc drive must
receive adequate cooling (refer to “Providing adequate cooling”)
and it must be sufficiently grounded and shielded from emissions. The
83329240) contains guidelines for a properly designed
enclosure.
Attention.
Cheetah 9LP Product Manual
This high per formance Cheetah disc drive must have
proper power and cooling for reliable operation.

Single-ended and low voltage differential modes
This drive incorporates two different transceivers to allow you to
use it in traditional systems which may use single-ended (SE)
drivers and receivers, or to use it in low voltage differential (LVD)
capable systems which use LVD drivers and receiv ers.
You can configure the drive to switch between SE and LVD
modes automatically or force it to operate in SE mode only. To
configure th is option, use the jumper i llus trat ions on page 43 (LW
models) or page 48 (LC models).
LVD technology enhances parallel SCSI I/O performance,
reduces power consumption, increases allowable cable lengths,
and improves device connectivity beyond SE capabilities.
Note.
To operate at the Ultra2 SCSI rates in LVD mode, all
devices on the same bus must be runni ng in 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.
Warning.
Do not mix LVD drives on the same daisy chain with
devices having high voltage differential (HVD) interface circ u its .
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 has the lowest priority in an 8-bit I/O system. ID8
has the lowest priority in a 16-bit I/O system. The lower priority
Cheetah 9LP Installation Guid e, Rev. B21
SCSI IDs are normally used for other SCSI devices such as this
Cheetah 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 controllers do not allow this so be
sure to refer to your system or controller user’s man ual for
details about its requirements for proper SCSI device
installation.
Note. This drive is SCAM (SCSI Configured Auto Magically)
compliant. 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 Cheetah disc drives are factory set with the SCSI ID set at
0. To change the SCSI ID, refer to the appropriate drive section
for your model.
If, after completing the installation process, the drive’s LED does
not show on/off activity when the host is trying to communicate
with the drive, a duplicate SCSI ID may be the problem. If this is
the case, change the ID so that each device 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 recomm endations.
22Cheetah 9LP Installation Guide, Rev. B
Drive termination
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.
Note.
Use active (ANSI SCSI-2 Alternative 2) single-ended terminators when terminating a bus operating in singleended mode. Use SPI-2-compliant active low voltage differential terminators when terminating a SCSI Ultra2 bus
operating in LVD mode.
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 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 control lers 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 particula r system.
These drives do not have on-b oard terminators, so y ou m ust terminate external to the drive when termination is required. For
ST39102LC and ST34502LC drives, this is normally accom-
Cheetah 9LP Installation Guid e, Rev. B23
plished by terminating the bus at the backpanel. For ST39102LW
and ST34502LW drives, use an in-line terminator on the cable.

I/O circuits and dat a path widths
• These drives can be used in singl e- ended or low v olt age diff er -
ential interface systems; however, do not attempt to mix these
drives on the same daisy chain with high voltage differential
devices. The circuits are not compatible and drive damage
may occur.
• These drives have a “wide” (16-bit) SCSI data bus rather than
the standard (non -wide) 8-bit SCSI data b us; howe ver, you can
24Cheetah 9LP Installation Guide, Rev. B
use these wide drives on a standard (non-wide) 8-bit data bus
if you provide proper termination to the upper 8-bit data lines.
This is often referred to as providing “high-9 termination.”
Figures 3, 4, and 5 show typical drive connections.

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 (83329240) describes how to evaluate the air-flow design. The evaluation consists of ensuring that
the case temperature of certain critical components remains
within acceptable limits duri ng drive operation.
We recommend orienting the drive or directing 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 source s.
Figure 7 shows two design approaches with one or more fans
used to generate ai r 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.

Mounting the drive and connecting cables
Do not touch the connector pins or any components on the control board without observing static-discharge precautions.
Alwa ys handle the drive by the frame only.
The drive may be mounted in any orientation (horizontally, 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 mm), measured
from the outer surface of the chassis. Tighten the screws
down e venly. Do not over-tighten or force the scr ew if it does
not seem t o screw in easily, because this means the thre ads
are not properly aligned. In this case, back the screw out
and try again.

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

defined in IEC 950. Figure 8 provides the pin information for
the DC power connector. To connect the DC power cable to
the drive, simply insert the cable end into the drive’s DC
power connector.

The drive has been low level formatted at the factory. You do not
need to perform another low level format on t his drive unless you
decide to perform certain diagnostics through the host adapter.
If you do decide to perform a low level format, do not abort the
format as this is likely to make the drive inoperable. Also, it is a
good idea to protect against power failure or other power interruptions during the format.
The drive will typically take less than 30 minutes to perform the

Terminat ing the d rive
ST39102LW and ST34502LW drives do not have internal terminators or any other way of adding internal termination to the
drive. You must provide external termination to these drives
when termination is required. This is normally done by adding an
in-line terminat or on the cable.
Note.
Use active (ANSI SCSI-2 Alternative 2) single-ended terminators when terminating a bus operating in singleended mode. Use SPI-2-compliant active low voltage differential terminators when terminating a SCSI Ultra2 bus
operating in LVD mode.

You can configure this drive to supply termination power to the
SCSI bus by placing a jumper on J2 pins 1 and 2. The default
setting is no jumper, meani ng that some other source (other than

LC model drives do not have internal terminators or any other
way of adding internal termination to the drive. You must provide
external termination to these drives when termination is
