Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI drives support the small computer system interface (SCSI) as described in the ANSI SCSI SPI-3 interface specifications to the extent described in this manual. The SCSI Interface Product Manual (part number 75789509) describes general SCSI interface characteristics of this and other families of Seagate drives.
Mounting by bottom holes must meet the requirements of Section 8.4. Standards The Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this Manual and the Seagate SCSI Interface Product Manual, part number 75789509.
• External modem • 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 C-Tick Marking for their product.

(volume 1), which defines the product performance char- acteristics of the Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI family of drives, and the SCSI Interface Product Manual (volume 2), part number 75789509, which describes the general interface characteristics of this and other families of Seagate SCSI drives.
Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI 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 power is removed. An automatic shipping lock prevents potential damage to the heads and discs that results from movement dur- ing shipping and handling.
139,463,602 137,577,184 2. Seagate drives also may be used at the maximum available capacity at a given sector size, but the excess capacity above the guaranteed level will vary between 10K and 15K families and from generation to gener- ation, depending on how each sector size actually formats out for zone frequencies and splits over servo bursts.
3.5.1 Programmable drive capacity Using the Mode Select command, the drive can change its capacity to something less than maximum. See the Mode Select Parameter List table in the SCSI Interface Product Manual. Refer to the Parameter list block descriptor number of blocks field. A value of zero in the number of blocks field indicates that the drive shall not change the capacity it is currently formatted to have.

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.
If write caching is enabled (WCE=1), then the drive may return GOOD status on a write command after the data has been transferred into the cache, but before the data has been written to the medium. If an error occurs while writing the data to the medium, and GOOD status has already been returned, a deferred error will be generated.
Reliability specifications The following reliability specifications assume correct host/drive operational interface, including all interface timings, power supply voltages, environmental requirements and drive mounting constraints (see Section 8.4). Seek Errors Read Error Rates [1] Recovered Data Unrecovered Data Miscorrected Data Service Life Preventive Maintenance Note.
5.1.3 Seek errors A seek error is defined as a failure of the drive to position the heads to the addressed track. After detecting an initial seek error, the drive automatically performs an error recovery process. If the error recovery process fails, a seek positioning error (Error code = 15h or 02h) will be reported with a Hardware error (04h) in the Sense Key.
Seagate Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI disc drives support all four hot plugging cases. Provision shall be made by the system such that a device being inserted makes power and ground connections prior to the connection of any device signal contact to the bus. A device being removed shall maintain power and ground connections after the disconnection of any device signal contact from the bus (see SFF-8451 Specification for SCA-2 Unshielded Connections).
Performance impact S.M.A.R.T. attribute data will be saved to the disc for the purpose of recreating the events that caused a predic- tive failure. The drive will measure and save parameters once every two hours subject to an idle period on the SCSI bus.
If DST encounters an error during either of these tests, it reports a fault condition. If the drive fails the test, remove it from service and return it to Seagate for service. Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI Product Manual, Rev. D...

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 con- tainer voids the drive warranty. Seagate repair centers may refuse receipt of components improperly packaged or obviously damaged in tran- sit.
Physical/electrical specifications This section provides information relating to the physical and electrical characteristics of the Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI drive. AC power requirements None. DC power requirements The voltage and current requirements for a single drive are shown in the following tables. Values indicated apply at the drive power connector.

Power dissipation ST3300007 For drives using single-ended interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 10.14 watts (34.60 BTUs per hour). For drives using low voltage differential interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 10.14 watts (34.60 BTUs per hour). To obtain operating power for typical random read operations, refer to the following two I/O rate curves (see Figures 8 and 9).
ST3146707 For drives using single-ended interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 7.74 watts (26.41 BTUs per hour). For drives using low voltage differential interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 7.74 watts (26.41 BTUs per hour). To obtain operating power for typical random read operations, refer to the following two I/O rate curves (see Figures 8 and 9).
ST373207 For drives using single-ended interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 6.78 watts (23.14 BTUs per hour). For drives using low voltage differential interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 6.78 watts (23.14 BTUs per hour). To obtain operating power for typical random read operations, refer to the following two I/O rate curves (see Figures 8 and 9).
Non-operating –40° to 158°F (–40° to 70°C) package ambient with a maximum gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. This specification assumes that the drive is packaged in the shipping container designed by Seagate for use with drive. HDA Temp.
>600 cu in (>9,800 cu cm) Drives packaged in single or multipacks with a gross weight of 20 pounds (8.95 kg) or less by Seagate for general freight shipment shall withstand a drop test from 48 inches (1,070 mm) against a concrete floor or equivalent.
The sil- ver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate products are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic components should never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or exposed to an ambient relative humidity greater than 95%.
There will not be any discrete tones more than 10 dB above the masking noise on typical drives when mea- sured according to Seagate specification 30553-001. There will not be any tones more than 24 dB above the masking noise on any drive.

Defect 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).

used when data integrity is not a concern and speed is of utmost importance. If the Recovery Time Limit or retry count is reached during error recovery, the state of the RC bit is examined. If the RC bit is set, the drive will transfer the unrecovered data with no error indication and continue to execute the remaining command.

Setting these retry counts to a value below the default setting could result in an increased unrecovered error rate which may exceed the value given in this product manual.
Background Media Scan Background Media Scan (BGMS) is a self-initiated media scan. It performs sequential reads across the entire pack of the media while the drive is idle. In RAID arrays, BGMS allows hot spare drives to be scanned for defects prior to being put into service by the host system.

8.1.2 Function description jumper installation Jumper function description Forces drive to use single-ended I/O drivers/receivers only. Drive can operate on the interface in low voltage differential mode or single-ended, depend- ing on the voltage state of the I/O “DIFFSNS” line. Default is SE jumper not installed. Spindle starts immediately after power up - Default setting.
Drive orientation The balanced rotary arm actuator design of the drive allows it to be mounted in any orientation. All drive perfor- mance 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. Cooling The host enclosure must dissipate heat from the drive.
Drive mounting When mounting the drive using the bottom holes (x-y plane in Figure 15) 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 = F <...
SCSI. No attempt is made to describe all of the minute details of conditions and constraints that must be con- sidered by designers when designing a system in which this family of drives can properly operate. Seagate declares that the drives operate in accordance with the appropriate ANSI Standards referenced in various places herein, with exceptions as noted herein or in the Seagate SCSI Interface Product Manual.

03 means SCSI-3 (Ultra160) implemented. Note. Seagate has chosen to set this bit to 03, SCSI-3 (Ultra160) implemented, rather than 04, SCSI-4 (Ultra320) implemented, due to compatibility issues with some host bus adapters. This setting will not affect the Ultra320 functionality of the drive.
9.3.2 Mode 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 Change- able values. Default values are hard coded in the drive firmware that is stored in flash EPROM nonvolatile memory on the drive PCBA.
SCSI bus conditions and miscellaneous features supported Asynchronous SCSI bus conditions supported by the drive are listed below. These conditions cause the SCSI device to perform certain actions and can alter the SCSI bus phase sequence. Other miscellaneous operating features supported are also listed here. Refer to the SCSI Interface Product Manual for details. Table 10: SCSI bus conditions and other miscellaneous features Condition/feature supported by:...

9.6.1 DC cable and connector LW model drives receive DC power through a 4-pin connector (see Figure 24 for pin assignment) mounted at the rear of the main PCBA. Recommended part numbers of the mating connector are listed below, but equiva- lent parts may be used.
9.6.2 SCSI interface physical description Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI drives support the physical interface requirements of the Ultra320 SCSI Parallel Inter- face-4 (SPI-4), and operate compatibly at the interface with devices that support earlier SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 standards. It should be noted that this is only true if the systems engineering has been correctly done, and if earlier SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 devices respond in an acceptable manner (per applicable SCSI Standards) to reject newer Ultra320 protocol extensions that they don’t support.
