Cheetah X15 Product Manual, Rev. C requested by the host with a Read command is retrieved from the buffer (if it is there), before any disc access is initiated. If cache operation is not enabled, the buffer (still segmented with required number of segments) is still used, but only as circular buffer segments during disc medium read operations (disregarding Prefetch oper- ation for the moment).
Cheetah X15 Product Manual, Rev. C 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 X15 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...
Cheetah X15 Product Manual, Rev. C error (15h) is reported with a Medium error (3h) or Hardware error (4h) reported in the Sense Key. This is an unrecoverable seek error. Unrecoverable seek errors are classified as failures for MTBF calculations. Refer to the SCSI Interface Product Manual, part number 75789509, for Request Sense information.
Case 4 - Current I/O process allowed during insertion or removal, except on the device being changed Seagate Cheetah X15 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 X15 Product Manual, Rev. C 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.
If DST encounters an error during either of these tests, it reports a fault condition. If the drive fails the test, remove it from service and return it to Seagate for service.
Page 28
To invoke DST, submit the Send Diagnostic command with the appropriate Function Code (001b for the short test or 010b for the extended test) in bytes 1, bits 5, 6, and 7. Refer to the Seagate SCSI Interface Manual, Vol- ume 3, part number 75789509 for additional information about invoking DST.

For drives using low voltage differential interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 10.7 watts (36.6 BTUs per hour).
Cheetah X15 Product Manual, Rev. C ST39251 For drives using single-ended interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 10.32 watts (35.2 BTUs per hour). For drives using low voltage differential interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 10.7 watts (36.6 BTUs per hour).
Cheetah X15 Product Manual, Rev. C Environmental limits Temperature and humidity values experienced by the drive must be such that condensation does not occur on any drive part. Altitude and atmospheric pressure specifications are referenced to a standard day at 58.7°F (14.8°C).
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.

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 X15 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 X15 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).

Cheetah X15 Product Manual, Rev. C 8.1.2 Function description jumper installation Jumper function description Forces drive to use single-ended I/O drivers/receivers only. Drive can operate on the interface in low voltage differential mode or single-ended, depend- ing on the voltage state of the I/O “DIFFSNS” line. Default is SE jumper not installed. Spindle starts immediately after power up - Default setting.
Cheetah X15 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 Product Manual.
Cheetah X15 Product Manual, Rev. C SCSI interface commands supported Table 7 following lists the SCSI interface commands that are supported by the drive. Cheetah X15 Family drives can be changed back and forth between SCSI-1, SCSI-2, and SCSI-3 modes using the Change Defini- tion Command.

Cheetah X15 Product Manual, Rev. C The following tables list the values of the data bytes returned by the drive in response to the Mode Sense com- mand pages for SCSI Ultra160 implementation (see the SCSI Interface Product Manual). Definitions: DEF = Default value.
Cheetah X15 Product Manual, Rev. C SCSI bus conditions and miscellaneous features supported Asynchronous SCSI bus conditions supported by the drive are listed below. 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.
DC cable and connector ST318451LW drives receive DC power through a 4 pin connector (see Figure 21 for pin assignment) mounted at the rear of the main PCBA. Recommended part numbers of the mating connector are listed below, but equiv- alent parts may be used.
Cheetah X15 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 Ultra160 SCSI Parallel Interface-3 (SPI-3) standards as defined in American National Standard document T10/1302D revision 14, and operate compatibly at the interface with devices that support earlier SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 stan- dards.
Cheetah X15 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.
