Interface requirements
This section partially describes the interface requirements as implemented on the drives.

General description
This section describes in essentially general terms the interface requirements supported by the Cheetah 36LP.
No attempt is made to describe all of the minute details of conditions and constraints that must be considered
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, part number 75789509.
