Applicable standards and reference documentation
The drive has been developed as a system peripheral to the highest standards of design and construction. The
drive depends upon its host equipment to provide adequate power and environment in order to achieve opti-
mum performance and compliance with applicable industry and governmental regulations. Special attention
must be given in the areas of safety, power distribution, shielding, audible noise control, and temperature regu-
lation. In particular, the drive must be securely mounted in order to guarantee the specified performance char-
acteristics. Mounting by bottom holes must meet the requirements of Section 8.4.
2.1
Standards
The Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this
Manual and the Seagate SCSI Interface Product Manual, part number 75789509.
The Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI disc drive is a UL recognized component per UL1950, CSA certified to CSA C22.2
No. 950-95, and VDE certified to VDE 0805 and EN60950.
2.1.1
Electromagnetic compatibility
The drive, as delivered, is designed for system integration and installation into a suitable enclosure prior to
use. As such the drive is supplied as a subassembly and is not subject to Subpart B of Part 15 of the FCC
Rules and Regulations nor the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communica-
tions.
The design characteristics of the drive serve to minimize radiation when installed in an enclosure that provides
reasonable shielding. As such, the drive is capable of meeting the Class B limits of the FCC Rules and Regula-
tions of the Canadian Department of Communications when properly packaged. However, it is the user’s
responsibility to assure that the drive meets the appropriate EMI requirements in their system. Shielded I/O
cables may be required if the enclosure does not provide adequate shielding. If the I/O cables are external to
the enclosure, shielded cables should be used, with the shields grounded to the enclosure and to the host con-
troller.
2.1.2
Electromagnetic susceptibility
As a component assembly, the drive is not required to meet any susceptibility performance requirements. It is
the responsibility of those integrating the drive within their systems to perform those tests required and design
their system to ensure that equipment operating in the same system as the drive or external to the system
does not adversely affect the performance of the drive. See Table 2, DC power requirements.

General description
Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI drives combine giant magnetoresistive (GMR) heads, partial response/maximum likeli-
hood (PRML) read channel electronics, embedded servo technology, and a wide Ultra320 SCSI interface to
provide high performance, high ] data storage for a variety of systems including engineering workstations, net-
work servers, mainframes, and supercomputers.
Ultra320 SCSI uses negotiated transfer rates. These transfer rates will occur only if your host adapter supports
these data transfer rates and is compatible with the required hardware requirements of the I/O circuit type. This
drive also operates at SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 data transfer rates for backward compatibility with non-Ultra/Ultra2/
Ultra320 SCSI host adapters.
Table 1 lists the features that differentiate the Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI models.

The drive records and recovers data on approximately 84 mm non-removable discs.
The drive supports the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) as described in the ANSI SCSI interface
specifications to the extent described in this manual (volume 1), which defines the product performance char-
acteristics of the Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI family of drives, and the SCSI Interface Product Manual (volume 2), part
number 75789509, 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 log-
ical block addressing.
The head and disc assembly (HDA) is sealed at the factory. Air circulates within the HDA through a non-
replaceable filter to maintain a contamination-free HDA environment.
Never disassemble the HDA and do not attempt to service items in the sealed enclosure (heads, media, actu-
ator, etc.) as this requires special facilities. The drive contains no replaceable parts. Opening the HDA voids
your warranty.

Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI drives use a dedicated landing zone at the innermost radius of the media to eliminate the
possibility of destroying or degrading data by landing in the data zone. The drive automatically goes to the
landing zone when power is removed.
An automatic shipping lock prevents potential damage to the heads and discs that results from movement dur-
ing shipping and handling. The shipping lock automatically disengages when power is applied to the drive and
the head load process begins.
A high-performance actuator assembly with a low-inertia, balanced, patented, straight-arm design provides
excellent performance with minimal power dissipation.

Formatted capacities
Standard OEM models are formatted to 512 bytes per block. The sector size is selectable at format time. Users
having the necessary equipment may modify the data block size before issuing a format command and obtain
different formatted capacities than those listed.
To provide a stable target capacity environment and at the same time provide users with flexibility if they
choose, Seagate recommends product planning in one of two modes:
1. Seagate designs specify capacity points at certain sector sizes that Seagate guarantees current and future
products will meet. We recommend customers use this capacity in their project planning, as it ensures a
stable operating point with backward and forward compatibility from generation to generation. The current
guaranteed operating points for this product are:

2. Seagate drives also may be used at the maximum available capacity at a given sector size, but the excess
capacity above the guaranteed level will vary between 10K and 15K families and from generation to gener-
ation, depending on how each sector size actually formats out for zone frequencies and splits over servo
bursts. This added capacity potential may range from 0.1 to 1.3 percent above the guaranteed capacities
listed above. Using the drives in this manner gives the absolute maximum capacity potential, but the user
must determine if the extra capacity potential is useful, or whether their assurance of backward and for-
ward compatibility takes precedence.

3.5.1
Programmable drive capacity
Using the Mode Select command, the drive can change its capacity to something less than maximum. See the
Mode Select Parameter List table in the SCSI Interface Product Manual. Refer to the Parameter list block
descriptor number of blocks field. A value of zero in the number of blocks field indicates that the drive shall not
change the capacity it is currently formatted to have. A number in the number of blocks field that is less than
the maximum number of LBAs changes the total drive capacity to the value in the block descriptor number of
blocks field. A value greater than the maximum number of LBAs is rounded down to the maximum capacity.
3.6

[2] Typical access times are measured under nominal conditions of temperature, voltage, and horizontal ori-
entation as measured on a representative sample of drives.

[4] Access to data = access time + latency time.
4.3
Start/stop time
After DC power at nominal voltage has been applied, the drive becomes ready within 25 seconds if the Motor
Start Option is disabled (i.e. the motor starts as soon as the power has been applied). If a recoverable error
condition is detected during the start sequence, the drive executes a recovery procedure which may cause the
time to become ready to exceed 25 seconds. During spin up to ready time the drive responds to some com-
mands over the SCSI interface in less than 3 seconds after application of power. Stop time is 30 seconds from
removal of DC power.
If the Motor Start Option is enabled, the internal controller accepts the commands listed in the SCSI Interface
Product Manual less than 3 seconds after DC power has been applied. After the Motor Start Command has
been received the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 25 seconds typically (excluding an error
recovery procedure). The Motor Start Command can also be used to command the drive to stop the spindle
(see the SCSI Interface Product Manual).
There is no power control switch on the drive.
4.4
Prefetch/multi-segmented cache control
The drive provides prefetch (read look-ahead) and multi-segmented cache control algorithms that in many
cases can enhance system performance. “Cache” as used herein refers to the drive buffer storage space when
it is used in cache operations. To select prefetch and cache features the host sends the Mode Select command
with the proper values in the applicable bytes in Mode Page 08h (see the SCSI Interface Product Manual).
Prefetch and cache operation are independent features from the standpoint that each is enabled and disabled
independently via the Mode Select command. However, in actual operation the prefetch feature overlaps
cache operation somewhat as is noted in Section 4.5.1 and 4.5.2.
All default cache and prefetch Mode parameter values (Mode Page 08h) for standard OEM versions of this
drive family are given in Tables 7, 8, and 9.
4.5
Cache operation
In general, 6,991 kbytes of the physical buffer space in the drive can be used as storage space for cache oper-
ations. 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. The drive supports a maximum of 64 cache segments. The drive maintains a
table of logical block disc medium addresses of the data stored in each segment of the buffer. If cache opera-
tion is enabled (RCD bit = 0 in Mode Page 08h, byte 2, bit 0. See SCSI Interface Product Manual), data
requested by the host with a Read command is retrieved from the buffer (if it is there), before any disc access
Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI Product Manual, Rev. D
13

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
operation for the moment). That is, the drive does not check in the buffer segments for the requested read
data, but goes directly to the medium to retrieve it. The retrieved data merely passes through some buffer seg-
ment on the way to the host. On a cache miss, all data transfers to the host are in accordance with buffer-full
ratio rules. On a cache hit the drive ignores the buffer-full ratio rules. See explanations associated with Mode
page 02h (disconnect/reconnect control) in the SCSI Interface Product Manual.
The following is a simplified description of a read operation with cache operation enabled:
Case A - A Read command is received and the first logical block (LB) is already in cache:
1. Drive transfers to the initiator the first LB requested plus all subsequent contiguous LBs that are already in
the cache. This data may be in multiple segments.
2. When the requested LB is reached that is not in any cache segment, the drive fetches it and any remaining
requested LBs from the disc and puts them in a segment of the cache. The drive transfers the remaining
requested LBs from the cache to the host in accordance with the disconnect/reconnect specification men-
tioned above.
3. If the prefetch feature is enabled, refer to Section 4.5.2 for operation from this point.
Case B - A Read command requests data, the first LB of which is not in any segment of the cache:
1. The drive fetches the requested LBs from the disc and transfers them into a segment, and from there to
the host in accordance with the disconnect/reconnect specification referred to in case A.
2. If the prefetch feature is enabled, refer to Section 4.5.2 for operation from this point.
Each buffer segment is actually a self-contained circular storage (wrap-around occurs), the length of which is
an integer number sectors. The wrap-around capability of the individual segments greatly enhances the
buffer’s overall performance as a cache storage, allowing a wide range of user selectable configurations, which
includes their use in the prefetch operation (if enabled), even when cache operation is disabled (see Section
4.5.2). The number of segments is set dynamically by the drive and cannot normally be set by the host (it can
be set using the PM bit as described in Section 4.5.3). The size in Kbytes of each segment is not reported by
the Mode Sense command page 08h, bytes 14 and 15. The value 0XFFFF is always reported. If a size specifi-
cation is sent by the host in a Mode Select command (bytes 14 and 15) no new segment size is set up by the
drive, and if the STRICT bit in Mode page 00h (byte 2, bit 1) is set to one, the drive responds as it does for any
attempt to change unchangeable parameters (see SCSI Interface Product Manual).
4.5.1
Caching write data
Write caching is a write operation by the drive that makes use of a drive buffer storage area where the data to
be written to the medium is stored in one or more segments while the drive performs the write command.
If read caching is enabled (RCD=0), then data written to the medium is retained in the cache to be made avail-
able for future read cache hits. The same buffer space and segmentation is used as set up for read functions.
The buffer segmentation scheme is set up or changed independently, having nothing to do with the state of
RCD. When a write command is issued, if RCD=0, the cache is first checked to see if any logical blocks that
are to be written are already stored in the cache from a previous read or write command. If there are, the
respective cache segments are cleared. The new data is cached for subsequent Read commands.
If the number of write data logical blocks exceeds the size of the segment being written into, when the end of
the segment is reached, the data is written into the beginning of the same cache segment, overwriting the data
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.
14
Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI Product Manual, Rev. D

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. If an error
occurs 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.
Tables 7, 8, and 9 show Mode default settings for the drives.
4.5.2
Prefetch operation
If the Prefetch feature is enabled, data in contiguous logical blocks on the disc immediately beyond that which
was requested by a Read command can be retrieved and stored in the buffer for immediate transfer from the
buffer to the host on subsequent Read commands that request those logical blocks (this is true even if cache
operation is disabled). Though the prefetch operation uses the buffer as a cache, finding the requested data in
the buffer is a prefetch hit, not a cache operation hit. Prefetch is enabled using Mode Select page 08h, byte 12,
bit 5 (Disable Read Ahead - DRA bit). DRA bit = 0 enables prefetch. Since data that is prefetched replaces
data already in some buffer segment(s), the host can limit the amount of prefetch data to optimize system per-
formance. The max prefetch field (bytes 8 and 9) limits the amount of prefetch. The drive does not use the
Prefetch Ceiling field (bytes 10 and 11).
During a prefetch operation, the drive crosses a cylinder boundary to fetch more data only if the Discontinuity
(DISC) bit is set to one in bit 4 of byte 2 of Mode parameters page 08h.
Whenever prefetch (read look-ahead) is enabled (enabled by DRA = 0), it operates under the control of ARLA
(Adaptive Read Look-Ahead). If the host uses software interleave, ARLA enables prefetch of contiguous
blocks from the disc when it senses that a prefetch hit will likely occur, even if two consecutive read operations
were not for physically contiguous blocks of data (e.g., “software interleave”). ARLA disables prefetch when it
decides that a prefetch hit will not likely occur. If the host is not using software interleave, and if two sequential
read operations are not for contiguous blocks of data, ARLA disables prefetch, but as long as sequential read
operations request contiguous blocks of data, ARLA keeps prefetch enabled.
4.5.3
Optimizing cache performance for desktop and server applications
Desktop and server applications require different drive caching operations for optimal performance. This
means it is difficult to provide a single configuration that meets both of these needs. In a desktop environment,
you want to configure the cache to respond quickly to repetitive accesses of multiple small segments of data
without taking the time to “look ahead” to the next contiguous segments of data. In a server environment, you
want to configure the cache to provide large volumes of sequential data in a non-repetitive manner. In this
case, the ability of the cache to “look ahead” to the next contiguous segments of sequential data is a good
thing.
The Performance Mode (PM) bit controls the way the drive switches the cache buffer into different modes of
segmentation. In “server mode” (PM bit = 0), the drive can dynamically change the number of cache buffer
segments as needed to optimize the performance, based on the command stream from the host. In “desktop
mode” (PM bit = 1), the number of segments is maintained at the value defined in Mode Page 8, Byte 13, at all
times (unless changed by using a Mode Select command). For additional information about the PM bit, refer to
the Unit Attention Parameters page (00h) of the Mode Sense command (1Ah) in the SCSI Interface Product
Manual, part number 75789509.

Note.
[1] Error rate specified with automatic retries and data correction with ECC enabled and all flaws reallocated.
5.1 Error rates
The error rates stated in this specification assume the following:
• The drive is operated per this specification using DC power as defined in this manual (see Section 6.2).
• Errors caused by host system failures are excluded from error rate computations.
• Assume random data.
• Default OEM error recovery settings are applied. This includes AWRE, ARRE, full read retries, full write
retries and full retry time.
5.1.1
Recoverable Errors
Recovereable errors are those detected and corrected by the drive, and do not require user intervention.
Recoverable Data errors will use correction, although ECC on-the-fly is not considered for purposes of recov-
ered error specifications.
Recovered Data error rate is determined using read bits transferred for recoverable errors occurring during a
read, and using write bits transferred for recoverable errors occurring during a write.
5.1.2
Unrecoverable Errors
Unrecoverable Data Errors (Sense Key = 03h) are specified at less than 1 sector in error per 1015 bits trans-
ferred. Unrecoverable Data Errors resulting from the same cause are treated are 1 error for that block.

5.1.3
Seek errors
A seek error is defined as a failure of the drive to position the heads to the addressed track. After detecting an
initial seek error, the drive automatically performs an error recovery process. If the error recovery process fails,
a seek positioning error (Error code = 15h or 02h) will be reported with a Hardware error (04h) in the Sense
Key. Recoverable seek errors are specified at Less than 10 errors in 108 seeks. Unrecoverable seek errors
(Sense Key = 04h) are classified as drive failures.
5.2
Reliability and service
You can enhance the reliability of Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI disc drives by ensuring that the drive receives ade-
quate cooling. Section 6.0 provides temperature measurements and other information that may be used to
enhance the service life of the drive. Section 8.3 provides recommended air-flow information.
5.2.1
Annualized Failure Rate (AFR)
The production disc drive shall achieve an AFR of 0.62% when operated in an environment that ensures the
HDA case temperatures specified in Section 6.4 are not exceeded. Short-term excursions up to the specifica-
tion limits of the operating environment will not affect AFR performance. Continual or sustained operation at
case temperatures above the values shown in Section 6.4.1 may degrade product reliability.
Estimated power-on operation hours means power-up hours per disc drive times the total number of disc
drives in service. Each disc drive shall have accumulated at least nine months of operation. Data shall be cal-
culated on a rolling average base for a minimum period of six months.
AFR is based on the following assumptions:
• 8,760 power-on hours per year.
• 250 average on/off cycles per year.
• Operations at nominal voltages.
• Systems will provide adequate cooling to ensure the case temperatures specified in Section 6.4.1 are not
exceeded.
Drive failure means any stoppage or substandard performance caused by drive malfunction.
A S.M.A.R.T. predictive failure indicates that the drive is deteriorating to an imminent failure and is considered
an AFR hit.
5.2.2
Preventive maintenance
No routine scheduled preventive maintenance shall be required.
5.2.3
Hot plugging Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI disc drives
The ANSI SPI-3 (T10/1302D) document defines the physical requirements for removal and insertion of SCSI
devices on the SCSI bus. Four cases are addressed. The cases are differentiated by the state of the SCSI bus
when the removal or insertion occurs.
Case 1 - All bus devices powered off during removal or insertion
Case 2 - RST signal asserted continuously during removal or insertion
Case 3 - Current I/O processes not allowed during insertion or removal
Case 4 - Current I/O process allowed during insertion or removal, except on the device being changed
18

Seagate Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI 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. A device being removed shall maintain power and ground connections after
the disconnection of any device signal contact from the bus (see SFF-8451 Specification for SCA-2 Unshielded
Connections).
It is the responsibility of the systems integrator to assure that no hazards from temperature, energy, voltage, or
ESD potential are presented during the hot connect/disconnect operation.
All I/O processes for the SCSI device being inserted or removed shall be quiescent. All SCSI devices on the
bus shall have receivers that conform to the SPI-3 standard.
If the device being hot plugged uses single-ended (SE) drivers and the bus is currently operating in low voltage
differential (LVD) mode, then all I/O processes for all devices on the bus must be completed, and the bus qui-
esced, before attempting to hot plug. Following the insertion of the newly installed device, the SCSI host
adapter must issue a Bus Reset, followed by a synchronous transfer negotiation. Failure to perform the SCSI
Bus Reset could result in erroneous bus operations.
The SCSI bus termination and termination power source shall be external to the device being inserted or
removed.
End users should not mix devices with high voltage differential (HVD) drivers and receivers and devices with
SE, LVD, or multimode drivers and receivers on the same SCSI bus since the common mode voltages in the
HVD environment may not be controlled to safe levels for SE and LVD devices (see ANSI SPI-3).
The disc drive spindle must come to a complete stop prior to completely removing the drive from the cabinet
chassis. Use of the Stop Spindle command or partial withdrawal of the drive, enough to be disconnected from
the power source, prior to removal are methods for insuring that this requirement is met. During drive insertion,
care should be taken to avoid exceeding the limits stated in Section 6.4.4, "Shock and vibration" in this manual.
5.2.4
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 drive degradation and is designed to provide sufficient warning of a failure
to allow data back-up before an actual failure occurs.
Note. The firmware will monitor specific attributes for degradation over time but cannot predict instanta-
neous drive failures.
Each attribute monitors a specific set of conditions in the operating performance of the drive, and the thresh-
olds are optimized to minimize “false” predictions.
Controlling S.M.A.R.T.
The operating mode of S.M.A.R.T. is controlled by the DEXCPT bit and the PERF bit of the “Informational
Exceptions Control Mode Page” (1Ch). The DEXCPT bit is used to enable or disable the S.M.A.R.T. process.
Setting the DEXCPT bit will disable all S.M.A.R.T. functions. When enabled, S.M.A.R.T. will collect on-line data
as the drive performs normal read/write operations. When the PERF bit is set, the drive is considered to be in
“On-line Mode Only” and will not perform off-line functions.
The process of measuring off-line attributes and saving data can be forced by the Rezero Unit command. Forc-
ing S.M.A.R.T. will reset the timer so that the next scheduled interrupt will be two hours.
The drive can be interrogated by the host to determine the time remaining before the next scheduled measure-
ment and data logging process will occur. This is accomplished by a log sense command to log page 0x3E.
The purpose is to allow the customer to control when S.M.A.R.T. interruptions occur. As described above, forc-
ing S.M.A.R.T by the Rezero Unit command will reset the timer.

Performance impact
S.M.A.R.T. attribute data will be saved to the disc for the purpose of recreating the events that caused a predic-
tive failure. The drive will measure and save parameters once every two hours subject to an idle period on the
SCSI bus. The process of measuring off-line attribute data and saving data to the disc is uninterruptable and
the maximum delay is summarized below:
Maximum processing delay
On-line only delay
DEXCPT = 0, PERF = 1
60 milliseconds
Fully enabled delay
DEXCPT = 0, PERF = 0
370 milliseconds
S.M.A.R.T. delay times
Reporting control
Reporting is controlled in the Informational Exceptions Control Page (1Ch). Subject to the reporting method,
the firmware will report a predictive 01-5D00 sense code. The error code is preserved through bus resets and
power cycles.
Determining rate
S.M.A.R.T. monitors the rate at which errors occur and signals a predictive failure if the rate of degraded error
rate increases to an unacceptable level. To determine rate, error events are logged and compared to the num-
ber of total operations for a given attribute. The interval defines the number of operations over which to mea-
sure the rate. The counter that keeps track of the current number of operations is referred to as the Interval
Counter.
S.M.A.R.T. measures error rate, hence for each attribute the occurrence of an error is recorded. A counter
keeps track of the number of errors for the current interval. This counter is referred to as the Failure Counter.
Error rate is simply the number of errors per set of operations. The algorithm that S.M.A.R.T. uses to record
rates of error is to set thresholds for the number of errors and the interval. If the number of errors exceeds the
threshold before the interval expires, then the error rate is considered to be unacceptable. If the number of
errors does not exceed the threshold before the interval expires, then the error rate is considered to be accept-
able. In either case, the interval and failure counters are reset and the process starts over.
Predictive failures
S.M.A.R.T. signals predictive failures when the drive is performing unacceptably for a period of time. The firm-
ware keeps a running count of the number of times the error rate for each attribute is unacceptable. To accom-
plish this, a counter is incremented whenever the error rate is unacceptable and decremented (not to exceed
zero) whenever the error rate is acceptable. This counter is referred to as the Failure History Counter. There is
a separate Failure History Counter for each attribute. Should the counter continually be incremented such that
it reaches the predictive threshold, a predictive failure is signaled.
5.2.5
Thermal monitor
Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI drives implement a temperature warning system which:
1. Signals the host if the temperature exceeds a value which would threaten the drive.
2. Signals the host if the temperature exceeds a user-specified value.
3. Saves a S.M.A.R.T. data frame on the drive which exceed the threatening temperature value.
A temperature sensor monitors the drive temperature and issues a warning over the interface when the tem-
perature exceeds a set threshold. The temperature is measured at power-up and then at ten-minute intervals
after power-up.
20

The thermal monitor system generates a warning code of 01-0B01 when the temperature exceeds the speci-
fied limit in compliance with the SCSI standard. The drive temperature is reported in the FRU code field of
mode sense data. You can use this information to determine if the warning is due to the temperature exceeding
the drive threatening temperature or the user-specified temperature.
This feature is controlled by the Enable Warning (EWasc) bit, and the reporting mechanism is controlled by the
Method of Reporting Informational Exceptions field (MRIE) on the Informational Exceptions Control (IEC)
mode page (1Ch).
The current algorithm implements two temperature trip points. The first trip point is set at 68°C which is the
maximum temperature limit according to the drive specification. The second trip point is user-selectable using
the Log Select command. The reference temperature parameter in the temperature log page (see Table 1) can
be used to set this trip point. The default value for this drive is 68°C, however, you can set it to any value in the
range of 0 to 68°C. If you specify a temperature greater than 68°C in this field, the temperature is rounded
down to 68°C. A sense code is sent to the host to indicate the rounding of the parameter field.

When the first temperature trip point is exceeded, S.M.A.R.T. data is collected and a frame is saved to the disc.
5.2.6 Drive Self Test (DST)
Drive Self Test (DST) is a technology designed to recognize drive fault conditions that qualify the drive as a
failed unit. DST validates the functionality of the drive at a system level.
There are two test coverage options implemented in DST:
1. Extended test
2. Short text
The most thorough option is the extended test that performs various tests on the drive and scans every logical
block address (LBA) of the drive. The short test is time-restricted and limited in length—it does not scan the
entire media surface, but does some fundamental tests and scans portions of the media.
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.

5.2.6.1
DST Failure Definition
The drive will present a “diagnostic failed” condition through the self-tests results value of the diagnostic log
page if a functional failure is encountered during DST. The channel and servo parameters are not modified to
test the drive more stringently, and the number of retries are not reduced. All retries and recovery processes
are enabled during the test. If data is recoverable, no failure condition will be reported regardless of the number
of retries required to recover the data.
The following conditions are considered DST failure conditions:
• Seek error after retries are exhausted
• Track-follow error after retries are exhausted
• Read error after retries are exhausted
• Write error after retries are exhausted
Recovered errors will not be reported as diagnostic failures.
5.2.6.2
Implementation
This section provides all of the information necessary to implement the DST function on this drive.
5.2.6.2.1
State of the drive prior to testing
The drive must be in a ready state before issuing the Send Diagnostic command. There are multiple reasons
why a drive may not be ready, some of which are valid conditions, and not errors. For example, a drive may be
in process of doing a format, or another DST. It is the responsibility of the host application to determine the “not
ready” cause.
While not technically part of DST, a Not Ready condition also qualifies the drive to be returned to Seagate as a
failed drive.
A Drive Not Ready condition is reported by the drive under the following conditions:
• Motor will not spin
• Motor will not lock to speed
• Servo will not lock on track
• Drive cannot read configuration tables from the disc
In these conditions, the drive responds to a Test Unit Ready command with an 02/04/00 or 02/04/03 code.
5.2.6.2.2
Invoking DST
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 Product
Manual, part number 75789509, for additional information about invoking DST.
5.2.6.2.3
Short and extended tests
DST has two testing options:
1. short
2. extended
These testing options are described in the following two subsections.
Each test consists of three segments: an electrical test segment, a servo test segment, and a read/verify scan
segment.
22
Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI Product Manual, Rev. D

Short test (Function Code: 001b)
The purpose of the short test is to provide a time-limited test that tests as much of the drive as possible within
120 seconds. The short test does not scan the entire media surface, but does some fundamental tests and
scans portions of the media. A complete read/verify scan is not performed and only factual failures will report a
fault condition. This option provides a quick confidence test of the drive.
Extended test (Function Code: 010b)
The objective of the extended test option is to empirically test critical drive components. For example, the seek
tests and on-track operations test the positioning mechanism. The read operation tests the read head element
and the media surface. The write element is tested through read/write/read operations. The integrity of the
media is checked through a read/verify scan of the media. Motor functionality is tested by default as a part of
these tests.
The anticipated length of the Extended test is reported through the Control Mode page.
5.2.6.2.4
Log page entries
When the drive begins DST, it creates a new entry in the Self-test Results Log page. The new entry is created
by inserting a new self-test parameter block at the beginning of the self-test results log parameter section of the
log page. Existing data will be moved to make room for the new parameter block. The drive reports 20 param-
eter blocks in the log page. If there are more than 20 parameter blocks, the least recent parameter block will be
deleted. The new parameter block will be initialized as follows:
1. The Function Code field is set to the same value as sent in the DST command
2. The Self-Test Results Value field is set to Fh
3. The drive will store the log page to non-volatile memory
After a self-test is complete or has been aborted, the drive updates the Self-Test Results Value field in its Self-
Test Results Log page in non-volatile memory. The host may use Log Sense to read the results from up to the
last 20 self-tests performed by the drive. The self-test results value is a 4-bit field that reports the results of the
test. If the field is zero, the drive passed with no errors detected by the DST. If the field is not zero, the test
failed for the reason reported in the field.
The drive will report the failure condition and LBA (if applicable) in the Self-test Results Log parameter. The
Sense key, ASC, ASCQ, and FRU are used to report the failure condition.
5.2.6.2.5
Abort
There are several ways to abort a diagnostic. You can use a SCSI Bus Reset or a Bus Device Reset message
to abort the diagnostic.
You can abort a DST executing in background mode by using the abort code in the DST Function Code field.
This will cause a 01 (self-test aborted by the application client) code to appear in the self-test results values
log. All other abort mechanisms will be reported as a 02 (self-test routine was interrupted by a reset condition).
5.2.7
Product warranty
Beginning on the date of shipment to customer and continuing for a period of five years, Seagate warrants that
each product (including components and subassemblies) or spare part that fails to function properly under nor-
mal use due to defect in materials on workmanship or due to nonconformance to the applicable specifications
will be repaired or replaced, at 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

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.
Seagate repair centers may refuse receipt of components improperly packaged or obviously damaged in tran-
sit. Contact your Authorized Seagate Distributor to purchase additional boxes. Seagate recommends shipping
by an air-ride carrier experienced in handling computer equipment.
Product repair and return information
Seagate authorized customer service centers are the only facilities authorized to service Seagate drives.

General Notes from Table 2:
1. Minimum current loading for each supply voltage is not less than 1.2% of the maximum operating current
shown.
2. The +5 and +12 volt supplies shall employ separate ground returns.
3. Where power is provided to multiple drives from a common supply, careful consideration for individual
drive power requirements should be noted. Where multiple units are powered on simultaneously, the peak
starting current must be available to each device.
4. Parameters, other than spindle start, are measured after a 10-minute warm up.

Maximum allowed noise values given below are peak to peak measurements and apply at the drive power con-
nector.
+5 V = 250 mV pp from 100 Hz to 20 MHz.
+12 V = 800 mV pp from 100 Hz to 8 KHz.
450 mV pp from 8 KHz to 20 KHz.
250 mV pp from 20 KHz to 5 MHz.
6.2.2
Power sequencing
The drive does not require power sequencing. The drive protects against inadvertent writing during power-up
and down. Daisy-chain operation requires that power be supplied to the SCSI bus terminator to ensure proper
termination of the peripheral I/O cables. To automatically delay motor start based on the target ID (SCSI ID)
enable the Delay Motor Start option and disable the Enable Motor Start option on the J2 connector on LW mod-
els or on the backplane for LC models. See Section 8.1 for pin selection information. To delay the motor until
the drive receives a Start Unit command, enable the Enable Remote Motor Start option on the J2 connector on
LW models or on the backplane for LC models.
6.2.3
12 V - Current profile
Figure 2, 4 and 6 identify the drive +12 V current profiles and figures 3, 5 and 7 identify the drive +5 V current
profiles. The current during the various times is as shown:
T0 - Power is applied to the drive.
T1 - Controller self tests are performed.
T2 - Spindle begins to accelerate under current limiting after performing drive internal diagnostics. See
Note 1 of Table 2.
T3 - The spindle is up to speed and the head-arm restraint is unlocked.
T4 - The adaptive servo calibration sequence is performed.
T5 - Calibration is complete and drive is ready for reading and writing.
Note. All times and currents are typical. See Table 2 for maximum current requirements.

Power dissipation
ST3300007
For drives using single-ended interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is 10.14 watts
(34.60 BTUs per hour).
For drives using low voltage differential interface circuits, typical power dissipation under idle conditions is
10.14 watts (34.60 BTUs per hour).
To obtain operating power for typical random read operations, refer to the following two I/O rate curves (see
Figures 8 and 9). Locate the typical I/O rate for a drive in your system on the horizontal axis and read the cor-
responding +5 volt current, +12 volt current, and total watts on the vertical axis. To calculate BTUs per hour,
multiply watts by 3.4123.

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). Maximum wet bulb temperature is 82°F (28°C).
6.4.1
Temperature
a. Operating
The maximum allowable continuous or sustained HDA case temperature for the rated AFR is 122°F (50°C)
The maximum allowable HDA case temperature is 60°C. Occasional excursions of HDA case temperatures
above 122°F (50°C) or below 41°F (5°C) may occur without impact to specified AFR. Continual or sustained
operation at HDA case temperatures outside these limits may degrade AFR.
Provided the HDA case temperatures limits are met, the drive meets all specifications over a 41°F to 131°F
(5°C to 55°C) drive ambient temperature range with a maximum temperature gradient of 36°F (20°C) per
hour. Air flow may be needed in the drive enclosure to keep within this range (see Section 8.3). Operation at
HDA case temperatures outside this range may adversely affect the drives ability to meet specifications. To
confirm that the required cooling for the electronics and HDA case is provided, place the drive in its final
mechanical configuration, perform random write/read operations and measure the HDA case temperature
after it has stabilized.
b. 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.

6.4.4
Shock and vibration
Shock and vibration limits specified in this document are measured directly on the drive chassis. If the drive is
installed in an enclosure to which the stated shock and/or vibration criteria is applied, resonances may occur
internally to the enclosure resulting in drive movement in excess of the stated limits. If this situation is apparent,
it may be necessary to modify the enclosure to minimize drive movement.
The limits of shock and vibration defined within this document are specified with the drive mounted by any of
the four methods shown in Figure 15, and in accordance with the restrictions of Section 8.4. Orientation of the
side nearest the LED may be up or down.
6.4.4.1
Shock
a. Operating—normal
The drive, as installed for normal operation, shall operate error free while subjected to intermittent shock not
exceeding 15 Gs at a maximum duration of 11 msec (half sinewave). The drive, as installed for normal
operation, shall operate error free while subjected to intermittent shock not exceeding 60 Gs at a maximum
duration of 2 msec (half sinewave). Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.
b. Operating—abnormal
Equipment, as installed for normal operation, does not incur physical damage while subjected to intermit-
tent shock not exceeding 40 Gs at a maximum duration of 11 msec (half sinewave). Shock occurring at
abnormal levels may promote degraded operational performance during the abnormal shock period. Speci-
fied operational performance will continue when normal operating shock levels resume. Shock may be
applied in the X, Y, or Z axis. Shock is not to be repeated more than two times per second.
c. Non-operating
The limits of non-operating shock shall apply to all conditions of handling and transportation. This includes
both isolated drives and integrated drives.
The drive subjected to nonrepetitive shock not exceeding 75 Gs at a maximum duration of 11 msec (half
sinewave) shall not exhibit device damage or performance degradation. Shock may be applied in the X, Y,
or Z axis.
The drive subjected to nonrepetitive shock not exceeding 225 Gs at a maximum duration of 2 msec (half
sinewave) does not exhibit device damage or performance degradation. Shock may be applied in the X, Y,
or Z axis.
The drive subjected to nonrepetitive shock not exceeding 120 Gs at a maximum duration of 0.5 msec (half
sinewave) does not exhibit device damage or performance degradation. Shock may be applied in the X, Y,
or Z axis.

6.4.5
Air cleanliness
The drive is designed to operate in a typical office environment with minimal environmental control.
6.4.6
Corrosive environment
Seagate electronic drive components pass accelerated corrosion testing equivalent to 10 years exposure to
light industrial environments containing sulfurous gases, chlorine and nitric oxide, classes G and H per ASTM
B845. However, this accelerated testing cannot duplicate every potential application environment.
Users should use caution exposing any electronic components to uncontrolled chemical pollutants and corro-
sive chemicals as electronic drive component reliability can be affected by the installation environment. The sil-
ver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate products are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide,
chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic components
should never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or
exposed to an ambient relative humidity greater than 95%. Materials used in cabinet fabrication, such as vulca-
nized rubber, that can outgas corrosive compounds should be minimized or eliminated. The useful life of any
electronic equipment may be extended by replacing materials near circuitry with sulfide-free alternatives.

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). Tools for use in
designing a defect/error management plan are briefly outlined in this section, with references to other sections
where further details are given.
7.1
Drive internal defects
During the initial drive format operation at the factory, media defects are identified, tagged as being unusable,
and their locations recorded on the drive primary defects list (referred to as the “P” list and also as the ETF
defect list). At factory format time, these known defects are also reallocated, that is, reassigned to a new place
on the medium and the location listed in the defects reallocation table. The “P” list is not altered after factory
formatting. Locations of defects found and reallocated during error recovery procedures after drive shipment
are listed in the “G” list (defects growth list). The “P” and “G” lists may be referenced by the initiator using the
Read Defect Data command (see the SCSI Interface Product Manual).
7.2
Drive error recovery procedures
Whenever an error occurs during drive operation, the drive, if programmed to do so, performs error recovery
procedures to attempt to recover the data. The error recovery procedures used depend on the options previ-
ously set up in the error recovery parameters mode page. Error recovery and defect management may involve
the use of several SCSI commands, the details of which are described in the SCSI Interface Product Manual.
The drive implements selectable error recovery time limits such as are required in video applications. For addi-
tional information on this, refer to the Error Recovery Page table in the SCSI Interface Product Manual, which
describes the Mode Select/Mode Sense Error Recovery parameters.
The error recovery scheme supported by the drive provides a means to control the total error recovery time for
the entire command in addition to controlling the recovery level for a single LBA. The total amount of time spent
in error recovery for a command can be limited via the Recovery Time Limit bytes in the Error Recovery Mode
Page. The total amount of time spent in error recovery for a single LBA can be limited via the Read Retry
Count or Write Retry Count bytes in the Error Recovery Mode Page.
The drive firmware error recovery algorithms consist of 11 levels for read recoveries and 5 levels for writes.
Table 3 equates the Read and Write Retry Count with the maximum possible recovery time for read and write
recovery of individual LBAs. The times given do not include time taken to perform reallocations, if reallocations
are performed. Reallocations are performed when the ARRE bit (for reads) or AWRE bit (for writes) is one, the
RC bit is zero, and the Recovery Time Limit for the command has not yet been met. Time needed to perform
reallocation is not counted against the Recovery Time Limit.
The Read Continuous (RC) bit, when set to one, requests the disc drive to transfer the requested data length
without adding delays (for retries or ECC correction) that may be required to insure data integrity. The disc
drive may send erroneous data in order to maintain the continuous flow of data. The RC bit should only be

used when data integrity is not a concern and speed is of utmost importance. If the Recovery Time Limit or
retry count is reached during error recovery, the state of the RC bit is examined. If the RC bit is set, the drive
will transfer the unrecovered data with no error indication and continue to execute the remaining command. If
the RC bit is not set, the drive will stop data transfer with the last good LBA, and report a “Check Condition,
Unrecovered Read Error.”

[1] These values are subject to change.
Setting these retry counts to a value below the default setting could result in an increased unrecovered
error rate which may exceed the value given in this product manual. A setting of zero (0) will result in the
drive not performing error recovery.
For example, suppose the Read/Write Recovery page has the RC bit set to 0, read retry count set to 4,
and the recovery time limit field (Mode Sense page 01, bytes 10 and 11) set to FF FF hex (maximum). A
four LBA Read command is allowed to take up to 400.7 msec recovery time for each of the four LBAs in
the command. If the recovery time limit is set to 00 C8 hex (200 msec decimal) a four LBA read command
is allowed to take up to 200 msec for all error recovery within that command. The use of the Recovery
Time Limit field allows finer granularity on control of the time spent in error recovery. The recovery time
limit only starts counting when the drive is executing error recovery and it restarts on each command.
Therefore, each command’s total recovery time is subject to the recovery time limit. Note: A recovery time
limit of 0 will use the drive’s default value of FF FF. Minimum recovery time limit is achieved by setting the
Recovery Time Limit field to 00 01.
7.3
SCSI systems errors
Information on the reporting of operational errors or faults across the interface is given in the SCSI Interface
Product Manual. Message Protocol System is described in the SCSI Interface Product Manual. Several of the
messages are used in the SCSI systems error management system. The Request Sense command returns
information to the host about numerous kinds of errors or faults. The Receive Diagnostic Results reports the
results of diagnostic operations performed by the drive.
Status returned by the drive to the Initiator is described in the SCSI Interface Product Manual. Status reporting
plays a role in the SCSI systems error management and its use in that respect is described in sections where
the various commands are discussed.

7.4
Background Media Scan
Background Media Scan (BGMS) is a self-initiated media scan. It performs sequential reads across the entire
pack of the media while the drive is idle. In RAID arrays, BGMS allows hot spare drives to be scanned for
defects prior to being put into service by the host system. On regualr duty drives, if the host system makes use
of the BGMS Log Page, it can avoid placing data in suspect locations on the media. Unrecovered error sites
found during BGMS will be logged and recovered error sites will be logged or reallocated per ARRE/AWRE
settings.
With BGMS, the host system can consume less power and system overhead by only checking BGMS status/
results rather than tying up the bus and consuming power in the process of host-initiated media scanning activ-
ity.
Since the background scan functions are only done during idle periods, BGMS causes a negligible impact to
system performance. Background media scan will begin after 500ms of idle time. Other features that normally
use idle time to function will function normally because BGMS functions for bursts of 800ms and then sus-
pends activity to allow other background functions to operate. Additionally, BGMS operates in segments of 400
block reads, checking for host commands upon completion of each of the block segments.
The BGMS function will complete any BGMS-initiated error recovery prior to returning to service host-initiated
commands. Overhead associated with a return to host-servicing activity from BGMS only impacts the first com-
mand that interrupted BGMS. This results in a typical delay of about 4 ms.
7.4.1
Media Pre-Scan
Media Pre-Scan is an optional feature that allows the drive to handle unrecovered media errors that would oth-
erwise have been found by the host system during critical data accesses early in the integration process at
customer sites. This should reduce integration DPPM (defective parts per million) by identifying and repairing
media errors that arose during shipping and handling. Media Pre-Scan replaces all host-initiated Write com-
mands with Write-Verify commands when the drive is accessing areas of the media yet untouched by BGMS-
initiated scanning activity.
The drive will attempt to run BGMS on the entire pack of the drive. This will result in increasingly large portion
so fthe drive having been accesed, provided there is adequate idle time to allow BGMS to run. During the Pre-
Scan period, all Write commands that are in un-BGMS-scanned areas are converted to Write-Verify com-
mands. To expedite the scan of the full pack and the subsequenty exit from the Pre-Scan period, BGMS will
begin immediately when the drive goes to idle during the Pre-Scan period, as opposed to waiting 500ms as is
done under non-Pre-Scan conditions.

Installation
Note. These drives are designed to be used only on single-ended (SE) or low voltage differential (LVD)
busses. Do not install these drives on a high voltage differential (HVD) bus.
The first thing to do when installing a drive is to set the drive SCSI ID and set up certain operating options. This
is usually done by installing small shorting jumpers on the pins of connectors J2 and J6 on the PCBA (or J5-
Auxiliary on the LW model), or via the drive to host I/O signals on the LC model. Some users connect cables to
J6 or J5-Auxiliary and perform the set-up using remote switches.
Configure drive options
For option jumper locations and definitions refer to Figures 18, 19, and 20. Drive default mode parameters are
not normally needed for installation. Refer to Section 9.3.2 for default mode parameters if they are needed.
• Ensure that the SCSI ID of the drive is not the same as the host adapter. Most host adapters use SCSI ID 7
because ID 7 is the highest priority on both 8 and 16 bit data buses.
• If multiple devices are on the bus set the drive SCSI ID to one that is not presently used by other devices on
the bus.
• If the drive is the only device on the bus, attach it to the end of the SCSI bus cable. The user, system integra-
tor, or host equipment manufacturer must provide external terminators.
Note. For additional information about terminator requirements, refer to Sections 9.8 and 9.9.
• Set all appropriate option jumpers for desired operation prior to power on. If jumpers are changed after
power has been applied, recycle the drive power to make the new settings effective.
• Installation instructions are provided by host system documentation or with any additionally purchased drive
installation software. If necessary see Section 10 for Seagate support services telephone numbers.
• Do not remove the manufacturer’s installed labels from the drive and do not cover with additional labels, as
the manufacturer labels contain information required when servicing the product.
Formatting
Drives are shipped from the factory low level formatted with 512 byte sectors.

Drive ID/option select header
Figures 18 and 19 show views of the drive ID select jumper connectors. Figure 20 shows the option select
jumper connector for all models. Figure 18 shows the drive’s J5-auxiliary jumper connector. Both J5-auxiliary
and J6 have pins for selecting drive ID and for connecting the remote LED cable. Only one or the other should
be used, although using both at the same time would not damage the drive. The notes following the figures
describe the functions of the various jumper positions on the connectors J2, J5-Auxiliary and J6. Suggested
part number for the jumpers used on J2 is Molex 52747-0211 (Seagate part number 77679052). A bag with the
two jumper plug types is shipped with the standard OEM drives.

8.1.1 Notes for Figures 18, 19, and 20.
[1] 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. “Off” means no jumper is installed; “On” means a
jumper is installed. OFF or ON underlined is factory default condition.
The PCBA on LC models does not have connector J5. The J5 connector signals conform to SFF-8009
Revision 2.0, Unitized Connector for Cabled Drives, signal assignments for auxiliary connectors.
[2] These signals are also on 80-pin J1 I/O connector. See tables 16 and 17, note 9.
[3] Voltage supplied by the drive.
[4] Dashed area is optional host circuitry (external to the drive) connected to host supplied optional usage
plug.
[5] Do not connect anything to J5 pins 9, 11-12 or J6 pins 13-20.
[6] Connect an external Drive Activity LED to J6 pins 11 and 12 (see Figure 18), or to J5 pin 8 (see Figure 19)
and the drives +5V power source, through an appropriately sized current limiting resistor. The drive pro-
vides an internal 150 ohm current limiting resistor for the J6 connection.

8.2
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.
8.3
Cooling
The host enclosure must dissipate heat from the drive. You should confirm that the host enclosure is designed
to ensure that the drive operates within the temperature measurement guidelines described in Section 6.4.1. In
some cases, forced airflow may be required to keep temperatures at or below the temperatures specified in
Section 6.4.1.
If forced air is necessary, possible air-flow patterns are shown in Figure 21. The air-flow patterns are created
by fans either forcing or drawing air as shown in the illustrations. Conduction, convection, or other forced air-
flow patterns are acceptable as long as the temperature measurement guidelines of Section 6.4.1 are met.

8.4
Drive mounting
When mounting the drive using the bottom holes (x-y plane in Figure 15) care must be taken to ensure that the
drive is not physically distorted due to a stiff non-flat mounting surface. The allowable mounting surface
stiffness is 80 lb/in (14.0 N/mm). The following equation and paragraph define the allowable mounting surface
stiffness:
k * x = F < 15lb = 67N
where ‘k’ represents the mounting surface stiffness (units of lb/in or N/mm), and ‘x’ represents the out-of-plane
mounting surface distortion (units of inches or millimeters). The out-of-plane distortion (‘x’) is determined by
defining a plane with three of the four mounting points fixed and evaluating the out-of-plane deflection of the
fourth mounting point when a known force (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 that the drive
can meet the shock and vibration specifications given herein while mounted in such an adapter
frame. Adapter frames that are available may not have a mechanical structure capable of mounting
the drive so that it can meet the shock and vibration specifications listed in this manual.
8.5
Grounding
Signal ground (PCBA) and HDA ground are connected together in the drive and cannot be separated by the
user. The equipment in which the drive is mounted is connected directly to the HDA and PCBA with no electri-
cally isolating shock mounts. If it is desired for the system chassis to not be connected to the HDA/PCBA
ground, the systems integrator or user must provide a nonconductive (electrically isolating) method of mount-
ing the drive in the host equipment.
Increased radiated emissions may result if you do not provide the maximum surface area ground connection
between system ground and drive ground. This is the system designer’s and integrator’s responsibility.

Interface requirements
This section partially describes the interface requirements as implemented on the drives.
9.1 General description
This section describes in essentially general terms the interface requirements supported by the Cheetah 10K.7
SCSI. No attempt is made to describe all of the minute details of conditions and constraints that must be con-
sidered 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.

Note. Seagate has chosen to set this bit to 03, SCSI-3 (Ultra160) implemented, rather than 04, SCSI-4
(Ultra320) implemented, due to compatibility issues with some host bus adapters. This setting will
not affect the Ultra320 functionality of the drive.
[ ]2 The drive can be changed between these two configurations:
02 means response data in SCSI-2/SCSI-3 format.
12 means the drive uses the hierarchical addressing mode to assign LUNs to logical units (default is 12).

9.3.1 Inquiry Vital Product data
Instead of the standard Inquiry data shown in Table 6, the initiator can request several Vital Product Data
pages by setting the Inquiry command EVPD bit to one. The SCSI Interface Product Manual lists the Vital
Product Data pages and describes their formats. A separate Inquiry command must be sent to the drive for
each Vital Product Data page the initiator wants the drive to send back.

9.3.2
Mode Sense data
The Mode Sense command provides a means for the drive to report its operating parameters to the initiator.
The drive maintains four sets of Mode parameters, Default values, Saved values, Current values and Change-
able values.
Default values are hard coded in the drive firmware that is stored in flash EPROM nonvolatile memory on the
drive PCBA. Default values can be changed only by downloading a complete set of new firmware into the flash
EPROM. An initiator can request and receive from the drive a list of default values and use those in a Mode
Select command to set up new current and saved values, where the values are changeable.
Saved values are stored on the disc media using a Mode Select command. Only parameter values that are
allowed to be changed can be changed by this method. See “Changeable values” defined below. Parameters
in the saved values list that are not changeable by the Mode Select command get their values from the default
values storage.
Current values are volatile values currently being used by the drive to control its operation. A Mode Select
command can be used to change these values (only those that are changeable). Originally, they are installed
from saved or default values after a power on reset, hard reset, or Bus Device Reset message.
Changeable values form a bit mask, stored in nonvolatile memory, that dictates which of the current values and
saved values can be changed by a Mode Select command. A “one” allows a change to a corresponding bit; a
“zero” allows no change. For example, in Table 7 refer to Mode page 01, in the row entitled “CHG”. These are
hex numbers representing the changeable values for mode page 01. Note that bytes 04, 05, 06, and 07 are not
changeable, because those fields are all zeros. If some changeable code had a hex value EF, that equates to
the binary pattern 1110 1111. If there is a zero in any bit position in the field, it means that bit is not changeable.
Bits 7, 6, 5, 3, 2, 1, and 0 are changeable, because those bits are all ones. Bit 4 is not changeable.
Though the drive always reports non-zero values in bytes 00 and 01, those particular bytes are never change-
able.
The Changeable values list can only be changed by downloading new firmware into the flash EPROM.
On standard OEM drives the Saved values are taken from the default values list and stored into the saved val-
ues storage location on the media prior to shipping.
When a drive is powered up, it takes saved values from the media and stores them to the current values stor-
age in volatile memory. It is not possible to change the current values (or the saved values) with a Mode Select
command before the drive is up to speed and is “ready.” An attempt to do so results in a “Check Condition sta-
tus being returned.
Note. Because there may be several different versions of drive control firmware in the total population of
drives in the field, the Mode Sense values given in the following tables may not exactly match those
of some drives.
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. Standard drives are shipped configured this way.
CHG= Changeable bits; indicates if current and saved values are changeable.
Note. Saved values for OEM drives are normally the same as the default values.

Synchronous data transfer
The data transfer period to be used by the drive and the initiator is established by an exchange of messages
during the Message Phase of operation. See the section on message protocol in the SCSI Interface Product
Manual, part number 75789509.
9.5.1
Synchronous data transfer periods supported
In the following tables, M is the synchronous period value (in the transfer rate negotiation message) that repre-
sents the associated transfer period and transfer rate values.
Table 11 lists the synchronous data transfer periods supported by the drive in DT DATA phase. DT DATA phase
is only allowed when using the LVD interface.

SCSI interface physical description
Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI drives support the physical interface requirements of the Ultra320 SCSI Parallel Inter-
face-4 (SPI-4), and operate compatibly at the interface with devices that support earlier SCSI-2 and SCSI-3
standards. It should be noted that this is only true if the systems engineering has been correctly done, and if
earlier SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 devices respond in an acceptable manner (per applicable SCSI Standards) to reject
newer Ultra320 protocol extensions that they don’t support.
The drives documented in this manual support single-ended and low voltage differential physical interconnects
(hereafter referred to as SE and LVD, respectively) as described in the corresponding ANSI SPI document ref-
erenced in the preceeding paragraph. These drives implement driver and receiver circuits that can operate
either SE or LVD. However, they cannot switch dynamically between SE and LVD operation.
The drives typically operate on a bus with other SCSI devices. All devices on the bus must operate in the same
mode, either SE or LVD, but not a mixture of these. All signals on the bus are common between all devices on
the bus. This bus must be terminated at both ends with the proper impedance in order to operate correctly. Do
not terminate intermediate SCSI devices. In some cases, the SCSI devices at each end have onboard termina-
tion circuits that can be enabled by installation of a jumper plug (TE) on the device. These termination circuits
receive power from either a source internal to the device, or from a line in the interface cable specifically pow-
ered for that purpose. LC and LW model drives do not have onboard termination circuits. Some type of external
termination circuits must be provided for these drives by the end user or designers of the equipment into which
the drives will be integrated. See the ANSI T10 Standard referenced above for the maximum number of
devices that can successfully operate at various interface transfer rates on SE and LVD buses.
LC model drives plug into PCBA or bulkhead connectors in the host. They may be connected in a daisy chain
by the host backplane wiring or PCBA circuit runs that have adequate DC current carrying capacity to support
the number of drives plugged into the PCBA or bulkhead connectors. A single 80-pin I/O connector cable can-
not support the DC current needs of several drives, so no cables beyond the bulkhead connectors should be
used. A single drive connected via a cable to a host 80-pin I/O connector is not recommended.
Table 13 shows the interface transfer rates supported by the various drive models defined in this manual.

SCSI interface cable requirements
The characteristics of cables used to connect parallel interface drives are discussed in the ANSI standards ref-
erenced in this section.
9.6.3.1
Cable requirements
The characteristics of cables used to connect Ultra320 SCSI parallel interface devices are discussed in detail
in Section 6 of ANSI Standard T10/1365D Rev. 3. The cable characteristics that must be considered when
interconnecting the drives described in this manual in a Ultra320 SCSI parallel, daisy-chain interconnected
system are:
• characteristic impedance (see T10/1365D Sections 6.3.3 and 6.3.4)
• propagation delay (see T10/1365D Sections 6.3.6 and 6.3.7)
• stub length (see T10/1365D Section 6.9)
• device spacing (see T10/1365D Section 6.9)
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.
Proper impedance matching is especially important in order to maintain adequate margin at FAST-20, FAST-
40, FAST-80, and FAST-160 SCSI transfer rates.
Note. For LVD operation, twisted pair cables are recommended. For LVD Fast-40 operation, twisted pair
cables are strongly recommended. For Fast-80 and Fast-160 operation, twisted pair cables are
required.
LC Models
The 80-pin connector option provided on LC models is intended for use on drives that plug directly into back-
plane connector in the host equipment. In such installations, all backplane wiring segments are subject to the
electromagnetic concepts presented in Standard T10/1365D, Rev. 3, Section 6. For LC model drives, installa-
tions with connectors on cables are not recommended.
9.6.4
Mating connectors
Part numbers for the different type connectors that mate with the various Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI I/O connectors
are given in the sections following.

9.6.4.1
Mating connectors for LW model drives
The nonshielded cable connector shall be a 68 conductor connector consisting of two rows of 34 male contacts
with adjacent contacts 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) apart.
Recommended mating flat cable connector part numbers are:
Amp Model 786096-7
Amp Model 786090-7
Amp Model 749925-5
Female, 68-pin, panel mount
Female, 68-pin, cable mount
(50 mil conductor centers, 28 or 30 AWG wire)
Use two, 34 conductor, 50 mil center flat cable with this connector.
This type connector can only be used on cable ends. [1]
Amp Model 88-5870-294-5 W/O Strain Relief (25 mil conductor centers, 30 AWG wire).
Use either on cable ends or in cable middle section for daisy-chain
installations [1].
Amp Model 1-480420-0
Berg 69307-012
Power connector 4 circuit housing
12-position, 2 x 6, 2 mm receptacle housing
[1] See Figure 24.
The drive device connector is a nonshielded 68-conductor connector consisting of two rows of 34 female pins
with adjacent pins 50 mils apart. The connector is keyed by means of its shape (see Figure 25).
9.6.4.2
Mating connectors for LC model drives
The nonshielded connector shall be an 80-conductor connector consisting of two rows of 40 contacts with adja-
cent contacts 50 (1.27 mm) mils apart (see Figure 26). I/O connection using a cable is not recommended. The
length and size of the host equipment DC power carrying conductors from the DC power source to the host
equipment 80-pin disc drive interface connector(s) should be strictly designed according to proper power trans-
mission design concepts. No possibility for the equipment user to attach an 80-pin cable/connector should be
allowed, since the length of the DC power carrying conductors could not be controlled and therefore could
become too long for safe power transmission to the drive. Multiconnector 80-conductor cables should espe-
cially not be allowed, since the power-carrying conductors on the 80-conductor interface were not intended to
support a series of drives.
To insure that both drive connector and host equipment mating connector mate properly, both drive connector
and host equipment mating connector must meet the provisions of “SFF-8451 Specification for SCA-2
Unshielded Connections.” To obtain this specification, visit the following web site: www.sffcommittee.org

9.7
Electrical description
Cheetah 10K.7 SCSI drives are multimode devices. That is, their I/O circuits can operate as either single-
ended or low voltage differential drivers/receivers (selectable using the I/O “DIFFSENS” line).
See ANSI Standard T10/1302D for detailed electrical specifications.
9.7.1
Multimode—SE and LVD alternatives
When the interface “DIFFSNS” line is between -0.35 V and +0.5 V, the drive interface circuits operate single-
ended and up to and including 20 M transfers/s (Fast-20 or Ultra SCSI). When “DIFFSNS” is between +0.7 V
and +1.9 V, the drive interface circuits operate low voltage differential and up to and including 160 M
transfers/s (Fast-160 or U320 SCSI).
This multimode design does not allow dynamically changing transmission modes. Drives must operate only in
the mode for which the installation and interface cabling is designed. Multimode I/O circuits used by these
drives do not operate at high voltage differential levels and should never be exposed to high voltage differential
environments unless the common mode voltages in the environment are controlled to safe levels for single-
ended and low voltage differential devices (see ANSI SPI-4 specification T10/1365D).
LC and LW model drives do not have onboard terminators. Termination of the I/O lines must be provided for by
the Host equipment designers or end users.
LVD output characteristics
Each differential signal driven by LVD interface drivers shall have the following output characteristics when
measured at the disc drive connector:
Steady state Low level output differential voltage = 0.320 V = < |Vs| = < 0.800 V (signal negation/logic 0)
Steady state High level output differential voltage = 0.320 V = < |Vs| = < 0.800 V (signal assertion/logic 1)
80

LVD input characteristics
Each differential signal received by LVD interface receiver circuits shall have the following input characteristics
when measured at the disc drive connector:
Steady state Low level input differential voltage = 0.030 V = < Vin = < 3.6 V (signal negation/logic 0)
Steady state High level input differential voltage = –3.6 V = < Vin = < –0.030 V (signal assertion/logic 1)
Differential voltage = +0.030 V minimum with common-mode voltage range 0.845 V = < Vcm = < 1.655 V.

9.7.1.1 General cable characteristics
To minimize discontinuities 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, the number of
loads, 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. Proper
impedance matching is especially important in order to maintain adequate margin at fast SCSI transfer rates.
9.7.1.2
Single-ended drivers/receivers
The maximum total cable length allowed with drives using single-ended I/O driver and receiver circuits
depends on several factors. Table 18 lists the maximum lengths allowed for different configurations of drive
usage. These values are from the SPI documents. All device I/O lines must have equal to or less than 25 pf
capacitance to ground, measured at the beginning of the stub.

A stub length of no more than 0.1 meter (0.33 ft) is allowed off the mainline interconnection with any connected
equipment. The stub length is measured from the transceiver to the connection to the mainline SCSI bus.

Single-ended I/O cable pin assignments for LW drives are shown in Table 15.
Single-ended I/O pin assignments for LC models are shown in Table 16. The LC model does not require an I/O
cable. It is designed to connect directly to a back panel connector.
9.7.1.3
Cables for low voltage differential drivers/receivers
The SPI-3 and SPI-4 specification for differential impedance for LVD cables is 122.5 ± 12.5 ohms.
The maximum SCSI bus length between the terminators for a SCSI LVD point-to-point system (one initiator
and one target) is 25 meters (82 feet).
The maximum SCSI bus length between the terminators for a SCSI LVD multidrop system (up to 16 total SCSI
devices) is 12 meters (39.37 feet). However, implementation of this 12-meter total length is dependent on the
configuration of the system and the choice of cable. See Tables 19 and 20 for examples of recommended
SCSI LVD cable types and lengths.
It should be noted from the data in Tables 19 and 20 that shielded round twisted-pair cables can be used to
implement a 12-meter system, while Twist-n-flat cables cannot be used to implement a 12-meter system due to
higher levels of attenuation and crosstalk. In addition, twist-n-flat cables with shorter sections of twist allow
greater crosstalk and their lengths must be reduced as shown in Table 20.

Terminator requirements
Caution: These drives do not have onboard internal terminators. The user, systems integrator or host equip-
ment manufacturer must provide a terminator arrangement external to the drive when termination is
required. For LW drives, terminator modules can be purchased that plug between the SCSI I/O
cable and the drive I/O connector or on the end of a short I/O cable stub extending past the last
cable connector. LC drives are designed to be plugged into a backpanel connector without cabling.
9.9
Terminator power
LW drives
You can configure terminator power from the drive to the SCSI bus or have the host adaptor or other device
supply terminator power to the external terminator. See Section 8.1 for illustrations that show how to place
jumpers for this configuration.
LC drives
These drives cannot furnish terminator power because no conductors in the 80-pin I/O connector are devoted
to terminator power.
