Cheetah 73LP Product Manual, Rev. C Scope ® This manual describes Seagate Technology LLC, Cheetah 73LP™ disc drives. Cheetah 73LP drives support the small computer system interface (SCSI) as described in the ANSI SPI-3 (SCSI Parallel Interface-3) interface specification to the extent described in this manual. The SCSI Interface Product Manual (part number 75789509) 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 73LP family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this Manual and the Seagate SCSI Interface Product Manual, part number 75789509.
(volume 1), which defines the product perfor- mance characteristics of the Cheetah 73LP family of drives, and the SCSI Interface Product Manual, part num- ber 75789509, which describes the general interface characteristics of this and other families of Seagate SCSI drives.
Cheetah 73LP Product Manual, Rev. C Standard features The Cheetah 73LP family has the following standard features: • Integrated Ultra/Ultra2/Ultra3 SCSI controller • Multimode SCSI drivers and receivers—single-ended (SE) and low voltage differential (LVD) • 16 bit I/O data bus •...
Cheetah 73LP Product Manual, Rev. C Unformatted and formatted capacities Formatted capacity depends on the number of spare reallocation sectors reserved and the number of bytes per sector.

Cheetah 73LP Product Manual, Rev. C Cache operation In general, 3,600 kbytes (14,399 kbytes of the 16,384 kbytes in LWV and LCV models) of the 4,096 kbytes of physical buffer space in the drive can be used as storage space for cache operations. The buffer can be divided into logical segments (Mode Select Page 08h, byte 13) from which data is read and to which data is written.
Cheetah 73LP Product Manual, Rev. C that was written there at the beginning of the operation. However, the drive does not overwrite data that has not yet been written to the medium. If write caching is enabled (WCE=1), then the drive may return GOOD status on a write command after the data has been transferred into the cache, but before the data has been written to the medium.
Cheetah 73LP Product Manual, Rev. C 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...
Special equipment is required to repair the drive HDA. To achieve the above service life, repairs must be per- formed only at a properly equipped and staffed Seagate service and repair facility. Troubleshooting and repair of PCBs in the field is not recommended because of the extensive diagnostic equipment required for effective servicing.
Case 4 - Current I/O process allowed during insertion or removal, except on the device being changed Seagate Cheetah 73LP 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.
Cheetah 73LP Product Manual, Rev. C You can measure off-line attributes and force the drive to save the data by using the Rezero Unit command. Forcing S.M.A.R.T. resets the timer so that the next scheduled interrupt is in two hours. You can interrogate the drive through the host to determine the time remaining before the next scheduled mea- surement and data logging process occurs.

Cheetah 73LP Product Manual, Rev. C Power dissipation ST373405 For drives using single-ended interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 9.9 watts (33.8 BTUs per hour). For drives using low voltage differential interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 10.2 watts (34.8 BTUs per hour).
Cheetah 73LP Product Manual, Rev. C ST336605 For drives using single-ended interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 8.6 watts (29.4 BTUs per hour). For drives using low voltage differential interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 8.9 watts (30.4 BTUs per hour).
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).
Cheetah 73LP Product Manual, Rev. C 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.
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.
Cheetah 73LP Product Manual, Rev. C Mechanical specifications The following nominal dimensions are exclusive of the decorative front panel accessory. However, dimensions of the front panel are shown in figure below. Refer to Figures 13 and 14 for detailed mounting configuration dimensions.
Cheetah 73LP Product Manual, Rev. C Notes: 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.
Cheetah 73LP Product Manual, Rev. C Defect and error management The drive, as delivered, complies with this specification. The read error rate and specified storage capacity are not dependent upon use of defect management routines by the host (initiator). Defect and error management in the SCSI system involves the drive internal defect/error management and SCSI systems error considerations (errors in communications between Initiator and the drive).

Spindle starts immediately after power up - Default setting.
Cheetah 73LP Product Manual, Rev. C 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.
(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 Tech- nology that the drive can meet the shock and vibration specifications given herein while mounted in such an adapter frame.
No attempt is made to describe all of the minute details of conditions and constraints that must be considered by designers when designing a system in which this family of drives can properly operate. 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 SCSI Interface Manual, part number 75789509.

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.
Figures 19 and 20 show the locations of the DC power connector, SCSI interface connector, drive select head- ers, and option select headers. Details of the physical, electrical and logical characteristics are given in sections following, while the SCSI operational aspects of Seagate drive interfaces are given in the SCSI Interface Product Manual, part number 75789509. 9.6.1...
Cheetah 73LP Product Manual, Rev. C 9.6.2 SCSI interface physical description The drive models described by this product manual support the physical interface requirements of the SCSI-3 Parallel Interface-3 (SPI-3) standards as defined in American National Standard document T10/1302D, and operate compatibly at the interface with devices that support earlier SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 standards.
Cheetah 73LP Product Manual, Rev. C To minimize discontinuances and signal reflections, cables of different impedances should not be used in the same bus. Implementations may require trade-offs in shielding effectiveness, cable length, number of loads and spacing, transfer rates, and cost to achieve satisfactory system operation. If shielded and unshielded cables are mixed within the same SCSI bus, the effect of impedance mismatch must be carefully considered.
