  • Page 4: Electrostatic Discharge Protection

    Protect the drive from static discharge by making sure you are well grounded before touching the drive. We recommend wearing a grounded wrist strap (Seagate part number 12263496) throughout the installation process. Do not touch the connectors or any part of the printed circuit board.

  • Page 5: Important Safety Information And Precautions

    • Ground yourself to the drive whenever the drive electronics are or will be exposed. Connect yourself to ground with a wrist strap (Seagate part number 12263496). Connection may be made to any grounded metal assembly. As a general rule, remember that you and the drive electronics must all be grounded to avoid potentially damaging static discharges.

  • Page 12: General Description

    Cheetah 18LP Installation Guide, Rev. C General description Cheetah 18LP SCSI disc drives are high-speed, random-access digital-data storage devices capable of operating in single-ended (SE) or low voltage differential (LVD) modes. This multimode capability allows you to use this drive in systems that use the traditional SE technology or in LVD-capable sys- tems.
  • Page 13 Cheetah 18LP Installation Guide, Rev. C Single-ended and low voltage differential modes This drive incorporates two different transceivers to allow you to use it in systems which use single-ended (SE) drivers and receivers, or in low voltage differential (LVD) capable systems which use LVD drivers and receivers.
  • Page 14 Cheetah 18LP Installation Guide, Rev. C Data bus widths These drives have a wide (16-bit) SCSI data bus. You can use these drives on a non-wide (8-bit) data bus if you provide proper termination to the upper eight data lines. This is often referred to as providing “high-9 termination”...

  • Page 23 Cheetah 18LP Installation Guide, Rev. C Configure termination power. Terminators have to get power from some source. The default configuration results in the drive not suppling termi- nation power to the bus. You should normally leave this drive set at this default unless your host system requires that the drive supply termination power to the bus.
  • Page 24 Cheetah 18LP Installation Guide, Rev. C Connect the drive activity remote LED (optional) This drive provides connections for a remote drive activity LED. This step is optional because the drive will work fine without an LED connected, but many people find this to be helpful to determine when the drive is actively reading or writing data.
  • Page 25 Cheetah 18LP Installation Guide, Rev. C Check the other available jumper settings (optional) This drive provides several features for unique configura- tions. You will not normally need to change from the default settings for normal operation. See Figure 7 on page 24.

LC and LCV model drives are designed for installation in host systems that have a backplane with single connector attachment (SCA) connections. Termination is normally pro- vided on this backplane. Check your host system documen- tation for details.

  • Page 37 Cheetah 18LP Installation Guide, Rev. C Mount the drive in the host system. To mount the drive, plug it into the system’s single connector attachment (SCA) position on the system’s backplane. The SCA connector on the drive contains interface and power functions, so it does not require a separate power connec- tor.
