  • Page 5: Scope

    LLC, Cheetah SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) disk drives. Cheetah 15K.6 drives support the SAS Protocol specifications to the extent described in this manual. The SAS Interface Manual (part number 100293071) describes the general SAS characteristics of Cheetah 15K.6 and other Seagate SAS drives.

  • Page 7: Standards, Compliance And Reference Documents

    Section 8.3. Standards The Cheetah 15K.6 SAS family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this manual and the Seagate SAS Interface Manual, part number 100293071. The Cheetah 15K.6 disk drive is a UL recognized component per UL1950, CSA certified to CAN/CSA C22.2 No.

  • Page 9: Reference Documents

    Seagate also has internal systems in place to ensure ongoing compliance with the RoHS Directive and all laws and regulations which restrict chemical content in electronic products. These systems include standard operat- ing procedures that ensure that restricted substances are not utilized in our manufacturing operations, labora- tory analytical validation testing, and an internal auditing process to ensure that all standard operating procedures are complied with.

  • Page 11: General Description

    HDA for any reason voids your warranty. Cheetah 15K.6 drives use a dedicated landing zone at the innermost radius of the media to eliminate the pos- sibility of destroying or degrading data by landing in the data zone. The heads automatically go to the landing zone when power is removed from the drive.

  • Page 13: Reliability

    Seagate designs specify capacity points at certain block sizes that Seagate guarantees current and future products will meet. We recommend customers use this capacity in their project planning, as it ensures a stable operating point with backward and forward compatibility from generation to generation.

    If the drive receives a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive through either port and has not received a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 0, the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 20 seconds (excluding the error recovery procedure). Cheetah 15K.6 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B...
  • Page 17: Prefetch/Multi-Segmented Cache Control

    Each cache segment is actually a self-contained circular buffer whose length is an integer number of logical blocks. The drive dynamically creates and removes segments based on the workload. The wrap-around capa- bility of the individual segments greatly enhances the cache’s overall performance. Cheetah 15K.6 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B...
  • Page 18: Caching Write Data

    When prefetch (read look-ahead) is enabled (enabled by DRA = 0), the drive enables prefetch of contiguous blocks from the disk when it senses that a prefetch hit will likely occur. The drive disables prefetch when it decides that a prefetch hit is not likely to occur. Cheetah 15K.6 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B...

    Unrecoverable Data Errors (Sense Key = 03h) are specified at less than 1 sector in error per 10 bits trans- ferred. Unrecoverable Data Errors resulting from the same cause are treated as 1 error for that block. Cheetah 15K.6 SAS Product Manual, Rev. B...

  • Page 22: Thermal Monitor

    There is a separate Failure History Counter for each attribute. 5.2.5 Thermal monitor Cheetah 15K.6 drives implement a temperature warning system which: 1. Signals the host if the temperature exceeds a value which would threaten the drive. 2. Signals the host if the temperature exceeds a user-specified value.

    There will not be any discrete tones more than 10 dB above the masking noise on typical drives when mea- sured according to Seagate specification 30553-001. There will not be any tones more than 24 dB above the masking noise on any drive.
  • Page 44: Electromagnetic Susceptibility

    The sil- ver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate products are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic components should never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or exposed to an ambient relative humidity greater than 95%.

  • Page 47: Defect And Error Management

    Defect and error management Seagate continues to use innovative technologies to manage defects and errors. These technologies are designed to increase data integrity, perform drive self-maintenance, and validate proper drive operation. SCSI defect and error management involves drive internal defect/error management and SAS system error considerations (errors in communications between the initiator and the drive).

  • Page 50: Deferred Auto-Reallocation

    DAR is most effective when AWRE and ARRE are enabled—this is the default setting from the Seagate factory. With AWRE and ARRE disabled DAR is unable to reallocate the failing location and will report an error sense code indicating that a write command is being attempted to a previously failing location.
  • Page 51: Installation

    Installation Cheetah 15K.6 disk drive installation is a plug-and-play process. There are no jumpers, switches, or termina- tors on the drive. SAS drives are designed to be used in a host system that provides a SAS-compatible backplane with bays designed to accommodate the drive. In such systems, the host system typically provides a carrier or tray into which you need to mount the drive.

  • Page 56: Dual Port Support

    Dual port support Cheetah 15K.6 SAS drives have two independent ports. These ports may be connected in the same or differ- ent SCSI domains. Each drive port has a unique SAS address. The two ports run at the same link rate. The first port to successfully complete speed negotiation sets the link rate support by both ports.
