Cheetah 15K.5 SCSI drives support the small computer system interface (SCSI) as described in the ANSI SCSI SPI-4 interface specifications to the extent described in this manual. The SCSI Interface Manual (part number 100293069) describes general SCSI interface characteristics of this and other families of Seagate drives.
Mounting by bottom holes must meet the requirements of Section 8.4. Standards The Cheetah 15K.5 SCSI family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this Manual, the Seagate Parallel SCSI Interface Manual, part number 100293069, and the SCSI Commands Ref- erence Manual, part number 100293068.
Lead (Pb), in electronic products effective July 2006. A number of parts and materials in Seagate products are procured from external suppliers. We rely on the rep- resentations of our suppliers regarding the presence of RoHS substances in these parts and materials. Our...
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.
Cheetah 15K.5 SCSI family of drives, the Parallel SCSI Interface Manual, part number 100293069, and the SCSI Commands Reference Manual, part number 100293068, which describe the gen- eral interface characteristics of this and other families of Seagate SCSI drives. The drive’s interface supports multiple initiators, disconnect/reconnect, self-configuring host software, and log- ical block addressing.
An automatic shipping lock prevents potential damage to the heads and discs that results from movement dur- ing shipping and handling. The shipping lock automatically disengages when power is applied to the drive and the head load process begins. A high-performance actuator assembly with a low-inertia, balanced, patented, straight-arm design provides excellent performance with minimal power dissipation.
136,331,467 82040CBh 2. Seagate drives also may be used at the maximum available capacity at a given sector size, but the excess capacity above the guaranteed level will vary between 10K and 15K families and from generation to gener- ation, depending on how each sector size actually formats out for zone frequencies and splits over servo bursts.
3.5.1 Programmable drive capacity Using the Mode Select command, the drive can change its capacity to something less than maximum. See the Mode Select Parameter List table in the SCSI Interface Manual. Refer to the Parameter list block descriptor number of blocks field. A value of zero in the number of blocks field indicates that the drive shall not change the capacity it is currently formatted to have.
4.2.1 Seek time Not including controller overhead (msec) Read Write Average Typical Single Track Typical Full Stroke Typical Typical access times are measured under nominal conditions of temperature, volt- age, and horizontal orientation as measured on a representative sample of drives. Access to data = access time + latency time.
Start/stop time After DC power at nominal voltage has been applied, the drive becomes ready within 20 seconds if the Motor Start Option is disabled (i.e., the motor starts as soon as the power has been applied). If a recoverable error condition is detected during the start sequence, the drive executes a recovery procedure which may cause the time to become ready to exceed 20 seconds.
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. Note.
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 Less than 10 errors in 10 bits transferred (OEM default settings) Unrecovered Data...
5.1.3 Seek errors A seek error is defined as a failure of the drive to position the heads to the addressed track. After detecting an initial seek error, the drive automatically performs an error recovery process. If the error recovery process fails, a seek positioning error (Error code = 15h or 02h) will be reported with a Hardware error (04h) in the Sense Key.
Case 4 - Current I/O process allowed during insertion or removal, except on the device being changed Seagate Cheetah 15K.5 SCSI 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.

Controlling S.M.A.R.T. The operating mode of S.M.A.R.T. is controlled by the DEXCPT bit and the PERF bit of the “Informational Exceptions Control Mode Page” (1Ch). The DEXCPT bit is used to enable or disable the S.M.A.R.T. process. Setting the DEXCPT bit will disable all S.M.A.R.T. functions. When enabled, S.M.A.R.T. will collect on-line data as the drive performs normal read/write operations.
If DST encounters an error during either of these tests, it reports a fault condition. If the drive fails the test, remove it from service and return it to Seagate for service. Cheetah 15K.5 SCSI Product Manual, Rev. H...

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.
Page 28
Shipping When transporting or shipping a drive, a Seagate approved container must be used. Keep your original box. They are easily identified by the Seagate-approved package label. Shipping a drive in a non-approved con- tainer voids the drive warranty. Seagate repair centers may refuse receipt of components improperly packaged or obviously damaged in tran- sit.

Power dissipation ST3300655LW/ST3300655LC For drives using low voltage differential interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 13.1 watts (44.70 BTUs per hour). To obtain operating power for typical random read operations, refer to the following I/O rate curve (see Figure 3).
Page 34
ST3146855LW/ST3146855LC For drives using low voltage differential interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 10.39 watts (35.45 BTUs per hour). To obtain operating power for typical random read operations, refer to the following I/O rate curve (see Figure 4).
Page 35
ST373455LW/ST373455LC For drives using low voltage differential interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 8.49 watts (28.97 BTUs per hour). To obtain operating power for typical random read operations, refer to the following I/O rate curve (see Figure 5).
Non-operating –40° to 158°F (–40° to 70°C) package ambient with a maximum gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. This specification assumes that the drive is packaged in the shipping container designed by Seagate for use with drive. HDA Temp.
Disc drives shipped as loose load (not palletized) general freight will be packaged to withstand drops from heights as defined in the table below. For additional details refer to Seagate specifications 30190-001 (under 100 lbs/45 kg) or 30191-001 (over 100 lbs/45 Kg).
Page 38
Drives packaged in single or multipacks with a gross weight of 20 pounds (8.95 kg) or less by Seagate for general freight shipment shall withstand a drop test from 48 inches (1,070 mm) against a concrete floor or equivalent. Figure 7.
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%.
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.

Notes: R REF Mounting holes are 6-32 UNC 2B, three -Z- -X- on each side and four on the bottom. Max screw penetration into side of drive is 0.15 in. (3.81 mm). Max screw tightening torque is 6.0 in-lb (3.32 nm) with minimum full thread engagement of 0.12 in.
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 SCSI system error considerations (errors in communications between the initiator and the drive).
Page 44
Table 6 equates the Read and Write Retry Count with the maximum possible recovery time for read and write recovery of individual LBAs. The times given do not include time taken to perform reallocations, if reallocations are performed. Reallocations are performed when the ARRE bit (for reads) or AWRE bit (for writes) is one, the RC bit is zero, and the Recovery Time Limit for the command has not yet been met.
SCSI systems errors Information on the reporting of operational errors or faults across the interface is given in the SCSI Interface Product Manual. Message Protocol System is described in the SCSI Interface Product Manual. Several of the messages are used in the SCSI systems error management system. The Request Sense command returns information to the host about numerous kinds of errors or faults.
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.
Suggested part number for the jumpers used on J6 is Molex 52747-0211 (Seagate part number 77679052). A bag with the two jumper plug types is shipped with the standard OEM drives.

8.1.2 Function description jumper installation Jumper function description Forces drive to use single-ended I/O drivers/receivers only. Drive can operate on the interface in low voltage differential mode or single-ended, depend- ing on the voltage state of the I/O “DIFFSNS” line. Default is SE jumper not installed. Spindle starts immediately after power up - Default setting.
Drive orientation The balanced rotary arm actuator design of the drive allows it to be mounted in any orientation. All drive perfor- mance characterization, however, has been done with the drive in horizontal (discs level) and vertical (drive on its side) orientations, and these are the two preferred mounting orientations. Cooling The host enclosure must provide heat removal from the drive.
(F) is applied to the fourth point. Note. Before mounting the drive in any kind of 3.5-inch to 5.25-inch adapter frame, verify with Seagate Technology that the drive can meet the shock and vibration specifications while mounted in such an adapter frame.
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 Parallel SCSI Interface Manual and the SCSI Commands Reference Manual .

03 means SCSI-3 (Ultra160) implemented. Note. Seagate has chosen to set this bit to 03, SCSI-3 (Ultra160) implemented, rather than 04, SCSI-4 (Ultra320) implemented, due to compatibility issues with some host bus adapters. This setting will not affect the Ultra320 functionality of the drive.
9.3.2 Mode Sense data The Mode Sense command provides a means for the drive to report its operating parameters to the initiator. The drive maintains four sets of Mode parameters, Default values, Saved values, Current values and Change- able values. Default values are hard coded in the drive firmware that is stored in flash EPROM nonvolatile memory on the drive PCBA.
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. Refer to the Parallel SCSI Interface Manual and the SCSI Commands Reference Manual for details.

Single-ended I/O cable pin assignments for LW drives are shown in Table 18. Single-ended I/O pin assignments for LC models are shown in Table 19. The LC model does not require an I/O cable. It is designed to connect directly to a back panel connector. 9.7.1.3 Cables for low voltage differential drivers/receivers The SPI-3 and SPI-4 specification for differential impedance for LVD cables is 122.5 + 12.5 ohms.
Terminator requirements Caution: These drives do not have onboard internal terminators. The user, systems integrator or host equip- ment manufacturer must provide a terminator arrangement external to the drive when termination is required. For LW drives, terminator modules can be purchased that plug between the SCSI I/O cable and the drive I/O connector or on the end of a short I/O cable stub extending past the last cable connector.
