Barracuda 4LP Product Manual, Rev. D Scope This manual describes the Seagate Technology®, Inc. Barracuda 4LP™ disc drives. Barracuda 4LP drives support the small computer system interface (SCSI) as described in the ANSI SCSI, SCSI-2, and SCSI-3 (Fast-20) interface specifications to the extent described in this manual. The SCSI Inter- face Product Manual (part number 77738479) described 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 Barracuda 4LP Family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this Man- ual and the Seagate SCSI Interface Manual, part number 77738479 (Vol. 2).

(volume 1), which defines the product performance char- acteristics of the Barracuda 4LP family of drives, and the SCSI Interface Product Manual (volume 2), part num- ber 77738479, which describes the general interface characteristics of this and other families of Seagate SCSI drives.
Barracuda 4LP Product Manual, Rev. D The drive’s interface supports multiple initiators, disconnect/reconnect, self-configuring host software, and automatic features that relieve the host from the necessity of knowing the physical characteristics of the targets (logical block addressing is used). The head and disc assembly (HDA) is sealed at the factory. Air circulates within the HDA through a non- replaceable filter to maintain a contamination-free HDA environment.

Execution time measured from receipt of the last Byte of the Command Descriptor Block (CDB) to the request for a Status Byte Transfer to the Initiator (excluding connect/disconnect). Maximum times are specified over the worst case conditions of temperature, voltage margins and drive orientation.
Barracuda 4LP Product Manual, Rev. D The following is a simplified description of a read operation with cache operation enabled: Case A - A Read command is received and the first logical block (LB) is already in cache: 1. Drive transfers to the initiator the first LB requested plus all subsequent contiguous LB’s that are already in the cache.

Barracuda 4LP Product Manual, Rev. D During a prefetch operation, the drive crosses a cylinder boundary to fetch more data only if the Discontinuity (DISC) bit is set to one in bit 4 of byte 2 of Mode parameters page 08h. Whenever prefetch (read look-ahead) is enabled (enabled by DRA = 0), it operates under the control of ARLA (Adaptive Read Look-Ahead).

Barracuda 4LP Product Manual, Rev. D 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).

Default is jumper installed. Terminator circuits not enabled (not connected to I/O lines).
Barracuda 4LP Product Manual, Rev. D 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.
Note. Before mounting the drive in any kind of 3.5-inch to 5.25-inch adapter frame, verify with Seagate Tech- nology that the drive can meet the shock and vibration specifications given herein while mounted in such an adapter frame.
This section partially describes the interface requirements as implemented on the drives. The major portion of the interface requirements /implementation is described in the Seagate SCSI Interface Product Manual, P/N 77738479. This section has tables that give the Barracuda 4LP Family drive's version of the SCSI imple- mentation described in the SCSI Interface Product Manual.
Barracuda 4LP Product Manual, Rev. D SCSI interface commands supported Table 6 following lists the SCSI interface commands that are supported in the SCSI-2, and SCSI-3 modes of the drive. Barracuda 4LP Family drives can be changed back and forth between SCSI-1 and SCSI-2/SCSI-3 modes using the Change Definition Command.

Barracuda 4LP Product Manual, Rev. D The following tables list the values of the data bytes returned by the drive in response to the Mode Sense com- mand pages for SCSI-2/SCSI-3 implementation (see SCSI Interface Product Manual, P/N 77738479). Definitions: = Saved value = Default value.
Barracuda 4LP Product Manual, Rev. D 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.
Details of the physical, electrical and logical characteristics are given in sections following, while the SCSI operational aspects of Seagate drive interfaces are given in the Seagate SCSI Interface Product Manual, P/N 77738479. This section describes the connectors, cables, signals, terminators and bus timing of the DC and SCSI I/O interface.

Barracuda 4LP Product Manual, Rev. D 9.6.2 SCSI Interface physical description The drives may be daisy chained together or with other compatible SCSI devices. Both ends of the cable must be terminated. The “N,” “W,” and “WC” model drives implement single-ended drivers and receivers. All signals are common between all SCSI devices.
Barracuda 4LP Product Manual, Rev. D 9.6.3.1 Single-ended I/O circuits (“N” and “W” models) The maximum total cable length allowed with drives having single-ended I/O driver and receiver circuits depends on several factors. Table 12 lists the maximum lengths allowed for different configurations of drive usage.

Barracuda 4LP Product Manual, Rev. D Electrical description “N” and “W” models use single-ended interface signals. These signals must be terminated with 110-ohm active termination circuits at each end of the total cable. Single-ended circuits use open collector or three state driv- ers.
Barracuda 4LP Product Manual, Rev. D 9.7.2 Differential drivers/receivers Differential drivers and receivers are used by the “WD,” and “DC” models. Typical circuits are shown in Figure 13. The drive has no provisions for terminator circuits on differential I/O drives. Differential Signals All differential interface signals consist of two lines denoted +SIGNAL and –SIGNAL.
See Section 9.7.2 for signal characteristics. I/O Line terminators. If SCSI device is a Seagate disc drive, terminators and a place to plug them in must be provided external to the drive by user, systems integrator or host equipment manufacturer where needed.
Barracuda 4LP Product Manual, Rev. D Terminator requirements Internal disc drive I/O termination (provided only in model “N” and “W” drives single ended I/O model drives) consists of active circuits in an LSI module that is permanently mounted on the PCB. All single initiator/single target (non-daisy-chain) applications require that the Initiator and disc drive be terminated.
