  • Page 4: Electrostatic Discharge Protection

    Protect the drive from static discharge by making sure you are well grounded before touching the drive. We recommend wearing a grounded wrist strap (Seagate part number 12263496) throughout the installation process. Do not touch the connectors or any part of the printed circuit board.

  • Page 5: Important Safety Information And Precautions

    • Ground yourself to the drive whenever the drive electronics are or will be exposed. Connect yourself to ground with a wrist strap (Seagate part number 12263496). Connection may be made to any grounded metal assembly. As a general rule, remember that you and the drive electronics must all be grounded to avoid potentially damaging static discharges.

  • Page 12: General Description

    Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A General description Cheetah 36 SCSI disc drives are high-speed, random-access digital-data storage devices capable of operating in single-ended (SE) or low voltage differential (LVD) modes. This multimode capability allows you to use this drive in systems that use the traditional SE technology or in LVD-capable sys- tems.
  • Page 13 Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A Single-ended and low voltage differential modes This drive incorporates two different transceivers to allow you to use it in systems which use single-ended (SE) drivers and receivers, or in low voltage differential (LVD) capable systems which use LVD drivers and receivers.
  • Page 14 Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A Data bus widths These drives have a wide (16-bit) SCSI data bus. You can use these drives on a non-wide (8-bit) data bus if you provide proper termination to the upper eight data lines. This is often referred to as providing “high-9 termination”...

    Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A How to install the drive This installation guide provides step-by-step instructions to make your drive installation as easy as possible. Follow the installation steps listed for your drive model as listed below: LW models (use the installation steps beginning below). LC models (use the installation steps beginning on page 30).

  • Page 23 Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A Configure termination power. Terminators have to get power from some source. The default configuration results in the drive not suppling termi- nation power to the bus. You should normally leave this drive set at this default unless your host system requires that the drive supply termination power to the bus.

  • Page 24: Writing Data

    Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A Connect the drive activity remote LED (optional) This drive provides connections for a remote drive activity LED. This step is optional because the drive will work fine without an LED connected, but many people find this to be helpful to determine when the drive is actively reading or writing data.
  • Page 25 Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A Check the other available jumper settings (optional) This drive provides several features for unique configura- tions. You will not normally need to change from the default settings for normal operation. See Figure 7 on page 24. Single-ended mode option You can force the drive to operate only in SE mode by installing a jumper on J2 pins 15 and 16.
  • Page 26 Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A Pin 1 Pin 2 Reserved Single-Ended Mode option Use single-ended or low voltage differential mode. Force the drive to operate only in single-ended mode. Delay Motor Start option (valid only if the Enable Motor Start jumper is not connected) Disable the Delay Motor Start option (default).

  • Page 31 Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A Additional connector on LW model drives LW model drives have a connector located between the SCSI I/O connector and the DC power connector to allow you to set the SCSI ID and connect LEDs from the back of the drive. You are not required to use this connector, but it’s available if you want to use it.
  • Page 32 Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A LC model installation Set the SCSI ID on the drive. Determine which SCSI IDs are already being used in the system and then assign the disc drive a SCSI ID that isn’t already being used. Use the J6 connector located on the front of the drive to set the SCSI ID (see Figure 12).

  • Page 37 Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A Mount the drive in the host system. To mount an LC model drive, plug the drive into the system’s single connector attachment (SCA) position on the system’s backplane. The SCA connector on the drive contains inter- face and power functions, so it does not require a separate power connector.
