Barracuda 18LP Installation Guide, Rev. B General description Barracuda 18LP SCSI disc drives are high-speed, random- access digital-data storage devices. The drive is a component for installation in an enclosure designed for the drive. This is often a rack within the system or an external enclosure designed to house one or more disc drives or other peripheral units.

Barracuda 18LP Installation Guide, Rev. B Initial setup information The general information beginning on this page applies to all of the Barracuda 18LP drive models. After reading the general information topics, refer to the appropriate drive-specific section listed below for additional information about configuring and installing your particular model.

Barracuda 18LP Installation Guide, Rev. B Providing adequate cooling The enclosure design must ensure adequate cooling for the drive. The maximum ambient air temperature around the drive should not exceed 50 C. However, to achieve maximum reliabil- ity, the ambient temperature should be about 15 C below this value most of the time.
