Barracuda 18 Product Manual, Rev. C Scope This manual describes the Seagate Technology®, Inc. Barracuda 18™ disc drives. Barracuda 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 Barracuda 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).

Barracuda 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).

Barracuda 18 Product Manual, Rev. C Shipping When transporting or shipping a drive, a Seagate approved container must be used. Keep your original box. They are easily identified by the Seagate Approved Package label. Shipping a drive in a non-approved con- tainer voids the drive warranty.
Barracuda 18 Product Manual, Rev. C Physical/electrical specifications This section provides information relating to the physical and electrical characteristics of the Barracuda 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.

Notes explaining the functions of the various jumpers on jumper header connectors J2, J5, and J6 are given here and in Section 8.1.2. The term “default” means as standard OEM units are configured with a jumper on those positions when shipped from factory.
Barracuda 18 Product Manual, Rev. C 8.1.2 Function description jumper installation Jumper function description (Applies only to “N” and “W” models) With the jumper installed, the On-board (non-removable) terminator circuits are enabled (connected to the I/O lines). Default is jumper installed. Terminator circuits not enabled (not connected to I/O lines).
Barracuda 18 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.
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 , part number 77738479.
Barracuda 18 Product Manual, Rev. C SCSI interface commands supported Table 7 following lists the SCSI interface commands that are supported in the SCSI-2, and SCSI-3 modes of the drive. Barracuda 18 Family drives can be changed back and forth between SCSI-1 and SCSI-2/SCSI-3 modes using the Change Definition Command.

Barracuda 18 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.
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 77738479.

Barracuda 18 Product Manual, Rev. C Electrical description “N” and “W” models use single-ended interface signals. These signals must be terminated with 110-ohm active termination circuits at each end of the total cable. Single-ended circuits use open collector or three state driv- ers.
Barracuda 18 Product Manual, Rev. C ANSI SCSI compatible circuits. Total interface cable length should not exceed that specified in ANSI Standard X3T10/1142D. Source of drive terminator power is an active circuit which has an input source voltage selected by jumper plug TP.
See Section 9.7.2 for signal characteristics. I/O Line terminators. If SCSI device is a Seagate disc drive, terminators and a place to plug them in must be provided external to the drive by user, systems integrator or host equipment manufacturer where needed.
Barracuda 18 Product Manual, Rev. C 9.7.2.2 Multimode—SE or LVD alternative “LW” and “LC” models have I/O circuits that can operate either in single-ended (SE) or low voltage differential mode (LVD). When the interface “DIFFSNS” line is between 0 V and .6 V, the drive interface circuits operate single-ended and up to and including 20 M transfers/s (Fast-20 or Ultra-1 SCSI).

Barracuda 18 Product Manual, Rev. C Note. The SCSI protocol chip drives the upper eight data and parity bits of the SCSI bus even when operat- ing in narrow (eight bit) mode. This is normal operation for this chip. If the unused data bit signals are connected to conductors that extend out beyond this drive’s SCSI connector, correct termination must be provided for these unused signals at the device/system at each end of the bus onto which this drive is connected.
