However, in actual operation the prefetch feature overlaps cache operation somewhat as is noted in Section 4.5.1 and 4.5.2. All default cache and prefetch Mode parameter values (Mode Page 08h) for standard OEM versions of this drive family are given in Tables 7 and 8.
Cheetah 36XL Product Manual, Rev. A RCD. When a write command is issued, if RCD=0, the cache is first checked to see if any logical blocks that are to be written are already stored in the cache from a previous read or write command. If there are, the respective cache segments are cleared.

Cheetah 36XL Product Manual, Rev. A The base cache buffer configuration for desktop or server environments needs to be set correctly by the host system. This involves setting the PM bit in Mode Page 0, Byte 2, as well as the number of cache buffer seg- ments in Mode Page 8, Byte 13.
Cheetah 36XL Product Manual, Rev. A 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 Less than 10 in 10 seeks Read Error Rates [1] Recovered Data...
Cheetah 36XL Product Manual, Rev. A error (15h) is reported with a Medium error (3h) or Hardware error (4h) reported in the Sense Key. This is an unrecoverable seek error. Unrecoverable seek errors are classified as failures for MTBF calculations. Refer to the SCSI Interface Product Manual, part number 75789509, for Request Sense information.
Case 4 - Current I/O process allowed during insertion or removal, except on the device being changed Seagate Cheetah 36XL 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.
Cheetah 36XL Product Manual, Rev. A The process of measuring off-line attributes and saving data can be forced by the RTZ command. Forcing S.M.A.R.T. will reset the timer so that the next scheduled interrupt will be two hours. The drive can be interrogated by the host to determine the time remaining before the next scheduled measure- ment and data logging process will occur.
DST. It is the responsibility of the host application to determine the “not ready” cause. While not technically part of DST, a Not Ready condition also qualifies the drive to be returned to Seagate as a failed drive.
Seagate’s option and at no charge to customer, if returned by customer at cus- tomer’s expense to Seagate’s designated facility in accordance with Seagate’s warranty procedure. Seagate will pay for transporting the repair or replacement item to customer.

Cheetah 36XL Product Manual, Rev. A 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.
DC cable and connector ST336705LW drives receive DC power through a 4 pin connector (see Figure 21 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.
Cheetah 36XL Product Manual, Rev. A 9.6.2 SCSI interface physical description The drive models described by this product manual support the physical interface requirements of the Ultra160 SCSI Parallel Interface-3 (SPI-3) standards as defined in American National Standard document X3T10/1302D revision 14, and operate compatibly at the interface with devices that support earlier SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 stan- dards.
Cheetah 36XL Product Manual, Rev. A To minimize discontinuances and signal reflections, cables of different impedances should not be used in the same bus. Implementations may require trade-offs in shielding effectiveness, cable length, number of loads and spacing, transfer rates, and cost to achieve satisfactory system operation. If shielded and unshielded cables are mixed within the same SCSI bus, the effect of impedance mismatch must be carefully considered.
