Synchronous data transfer
9.5.1
Synchronous data transfer periods supported
Table 10 and Section 9.5.2 list Synchronous Data transfer periods supported by the drive. The data transfer
period to be used by the drive and the initiator is established by an exchange of messages during the Message
Phase of operation. See the section on message protocol in the SCSI Interface Product Manual, part number
75789509.

REQ/ACK offset
The maximum value supported by the Cheetah 36ES family drives for REQ/ACK offset is 63 (3Fh).

Physical interface
This section describes the connectors, cables, signals, terminators and bus timing of the DC and SCSI I/O
interface. See Section 9.8 and Section 9.9 for additional terminator information.
Figures 16 and 17 show the locations of the DC power connector, SCSI interface connector, drive select head-
ers, and option select headers.
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 SCSI Interface Product Manual, part number
75789509.
9.6.1
DC cable and connector
ST336706LW drives receive DC power through a 4 pin connector (see Figure 18 for pin assignment) mounted
at the rear of the main PCBA. Recommended part numbers of the mating connector are listed below, but equiv-
alent parts may be used.
