Barracuda 5400.1 Product Manual, Rev. G Introduction This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications ® for Seagate Barracuda the following key features: • Low power consumption. • High instantaneous (burst) data transfer rates (up to 100 Mbytes per second) using Ultra DMA mode 5.
Barracuda 5400.1 Product Manual, Rev. G Drive specifications Unless otherwise noted, all specifications are measured under ambient con- ditions, at 25°C, and nominal power. For convenience, the phrases the drive and this drive are used throughout this manual to indicate ST340015A model drives.

Seek time Seek measurements are taken with nominal power at 25°C ambient temper- ature. All times are measured using drive diagnostics. The specifications in the table below are defined as follows: • Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track seeks in both directions.
Barracuda 5400.1 Product Manual, Rev. G 2.9.1 Power consumption Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 10. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, using 5.0V and 12.0V input voltage at 25°C ambient temperature. •...

2.9.2 Conducted noise Input noise ripple is measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 80-ohm resistive load on the +12 volt line or an equivalent 15-ohm resistive load on the +5 volt line. • Using 12-volt power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum of 120 mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10 MHz.
Barracuda 5400.1 Product Manual, Rev. G Standby mode automatically after the drive has been inactive for a specifi- able length of time. The standby timer delay is established using a Standby or Idle command. In Standby mode, the drive buffer is enabled, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest.
Barracuda 5400.1 Product Manual, Rev. G 2.10.5 Shock All shock specifications assume that the drive is mounted securely with the input shock applied at the drive mounting screws. Shock may be applied in the X, Y or Z axis. 2.10.5.1 Operating shock These drives comply with the performance levels specified in this document when subjected to a maximum operating shock of 63 Gs based on half-sine...
2.11 Acoustics Drive acoustics are measured as overall A-weighted acoustic sound power levels (no pure tones). All measurements are consistent with ISO document 7779. Sound power measurements are taken under essentially free-field conditions over a reflecting plane. For all tests, the drive is oriented with the cover facing upward.
Barracuda 5400.1 Product Manual, Rev. G 2.12 Electromagnetic immunity When properly installed in a representative host system, the drive operates without errors or degradation in performance when subjected to the radio frequency (RF) environments defined in the following table: Test Description Electrostatic Contact, HCP, VCP: ±...
Information Technology Equipment (ITE). Emission levels are defined by EN 55022, Class B and the immunity levels are defined by EN 55024. Seagate uses an independent laboratory to confirm compliance with the EC directives specified in the previous paragraph. Drives are tested in represen- tative end-user systems.
As a subassembly, no Federal Communications Commission verifica- tion or certification of the device is required. Seagate Technology LLC has tested this device in enclosures as described above to ensure that the total assembly (enclosure, disc drive, motherboard, power supply, etc.) does comply with the limits for a Class B computing device, pursuant to Subpart J, Part 15 of the FCC rules.
Barracuda 5400.1 Product Manual, Rev. G Configuring and mounting the drive This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive. Handling and static discharge precautions After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to poten- tial handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazards.
Breather filter hole precautions This section contains information regarding the precautions which should be taken regarding the breather filter hole in Seagate hard disc drives. Proper precautions should be taken to ensure full functionality and prevent possible damage to the drive.
Barracuda 5400.1 Product Manual, Rev. G Jumper settings 3.3.1 Master/slave configuration The options jumper block shown in Figure 4 is used to configure the drive for operation. It is the 8-pin dual header between the interface connector and the power connector. Use the following settings to configure the drive as a master or a slave.
3.3.3 Ultra ATA/100 cable An 80-conductor 40-pin cable is required to run Ultra DMA mode 3, mode 4 and mode 5. This cable uses even-numbered conductors connected to the ground pins to improve signal integrity. Master Pin 1 Slave Figure 5. Ultra ATA cable connectors Note.

4.1.3 Set Features command This command (EF ) controls the implementation of various features that the drive supports. When the drive receives this command, it sets BSY, checks the contents of the Features register, clears BSY and generates an interrupt. If the value in the register does not represent a feature that the drive supports, the command is aborted.
