Physical/electrical specifications
This section provides information relating to the physical and electrical characteristics of the Cheetah 15K.3
SCSI drive.
6.1
AC power requirements
None.
6.2
DC power requirements
The voltage and current requirements for a single drive are shown in the following table. Values indicated apply
at the drive power connector. The table shows current values in Amperes.

Measured with average reading DC ammeter or equivalent sampling scope. Instantaneous current peaks
will exceed these values. Power supply at nominal voltage. N (number of drives tested) = 6, 35 Degrees C
ambient.

For +12 V, a –10% tolerance is permissible during initial start of spindle, and must return to ±5% before
15,000 rpm is reached. The +10% / -7.5% must be maintained after the drive signifies that its power-up
sequence has been completed and that the drive is able to accept selection by the host initiator.

See +12 V current profile in Figure 2.

This condition occurs when the Motor Start Option is enabled and the drive has not yet received a Start
Motor command.
