Nowitzke Add Multimode signal input and output characteristics to Section 9. Notice. Product Manual 83329260 is Volume 1 of a two volume document with the SCSI Interface information in the Volume 2 SCSI Interface Product Manual, part number 77738479.
Cheetah 18 Product Manual, Rev. B Scope This manual describes Seagate Technology®, Inc. Cheetah 18™ disc drives. Cheetah 18 drives support the small computer system interface (SCSI) as described in the ANSI SCSI, SCSI- 2, and SCSI-3 (Fast-20 and Fast-40) interface specifications to the extent described in this manual. The SCSI Interface Product Manual (part number 77738479) 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 18 family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this Manual and the Seagate SCSI Interface Product Manual , part number 77738479 (Vol. 2).
Cheetah 18 family of drives, and the SCSI Interface Product Manual (volume 2), part number 77738479, which describes the general 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 automatic features that relieve the host from the necessity of knowing the physical characteristics of the targets (logical block addressing is used).
Cheetah 18 Product Manual, Rev. B Standard features The Cheetah 18 family has the following standard features: • Integrated Ultra/Ultra2 SCSI controller • Multimode SCSI drivers and receivers—single-ended (SE) and low voltage differential (LVD) • 16 bit I/O data bus •...
Cheetah 18 Product Manual, Rev. B Unformatted and formatted capacities Formatted capacity depends on the number of spare reallocation sectors reserved and the number of bytes per sector.

If n (number of bytes per sector) is odd, then n-1 will be used. Read/write consecutive sectors on a track Flaw reallocation performance impact (for flaws reallocated at format time using Negligible...
Cheetah 18 Product Manual, Rev. B tains a table of logical block disk medium addresses of the data stored in each segment of the buffer. If cache operation is enabled (RCD bit = 0 in Mode Page 08h, byte 2, bit 0. See SCSI Interface Product Manual, part number 77738479), data requested by the host with a Read command is retrieved from the buffer (if it is there), before any disc access is initiated.
Cheetah 18 Product Manual, Rev. B while writing the data to the medium, and GOOD status has already been returned, a deferred error will be generated. The Synchronize Cache command may be used to force the drive to write all cached write data to the medium. Upon completion of a Synchronize Cache command, all data received from previous write commands will have been written to the medium.
Cheetah 18 Product Manual, Rev. B 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...
Cheetah 18 Product Manual, Rev. B unrecoverable seek error. Unrecoverable seek errors are classified as failures for MTBF calculations. Refer to Section 5.1.1.2 of the SCSI Interface Product Manual, part number 77738479, for Request Sense information. Reliability and service You can enhance the reliability of Cheetah 18 disc drives by ensuring that the drive receives adequate cooling. Section 6.0 provides temperature measurements and other information that may be used to enhance the ser- vice life of the drive.
Case 4 - Current I/O process allowed during insertion or removal, except on the device being changed Seagate Cheetah 18 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 18 Product Manual, Rev. B 5.2.8 S.M.A.R.T. S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. This technology is intended to recognize conditions that indicate a drive failure and is designed to provide sufficient warning of a failure to allow data back-up before an actual failure occurs.
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.
Cheetah 18 Product Manual, Rev. B Physical/electrical specifications This section provides information relating to the physical and electrical characteristics of the Cheetah 18 drive. AC power requirements None. 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.
Cheetah 18 Product Manual, Rev. B 6.2.1 Conducted noise immunity Noise is specified as a periodic and random distribution of frequencies covering a band from DC to 10 MHz. Maximum allowed noise values given below are peak to peak measurements and apply at the drive power con- nector.
Cheetah 18 Product Manual, Rev. B Power dissipation For drives using single-ended interface circuits, typical operating random read power dissipation is 18.7 watts (64 BTUs per hour) of DC power average at nominal voltages. Typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 15.4 watts (52.7 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.

Cheetah 18 Product Manual, Rev. B Notes: -Z- -X- Mounting holes are 6-32 UNC 2B, three 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 18 Product Manual, Rev. B 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).
