Preface  
This manual contains information for users of the Seagate®  
Cheetah 9 SCSI disc drives. It provides support services, perfor-  
mance specifications, and initial setup information. Additional  
information is available in the Cheetah 9 Product Manual (part  
number 83329170). Contact your Seagate sales representative  
if you need to order this publication.  
Attention. This high performance Cheetah disc drive MUST  
have proper power and cooling considerations for  
reliable operation.  
Why is there a difference between 10,000 RPM and 7,200 RPM  
disc drives?  
• Cheetah disc drives spinning at 10,000 RPM will dissipate  
more heat than 7,200 RPM class disc drives (typical power  
dissipation is 22.5 watts).  
• The increased heat is primarily due to increased motor power  
dissipated inside the drive.  
• The increase in heat dissipation requires that the Cheetah  
10,000 RPM disc drives receive more cooling consideration  
than 7,200 RPM class disc drives.  
• Proper consideration of enhanced cooling by conduction (heat  
transfer thru material) can reduce the convection cooling (heat  
transfer by air motion) requirements.  
Note. Please contact Seagate technical support services or  
your distributor’s technical support if you have questions.

Electrostatic discharge protection  
Caution. Removal of circuit boards by personnel not perform-  
ing depot repair will damage components and may  
void the warranty.  
All drive electronic assemblies are sensitive to static electricity,  
due to the electrostatically sensitive devices used within the  
drive circuitry. Although some devices such as metal-oxide  
semiconductors are extremely sensitive, all semiconductors, as  
well as some resistors and capacitors, may be damaged or  
degraded by exposure to static electricity.  
Electrostatic damage to electronic devices may be caused by  
the direct discharge of a charged conductor or by exposure to  
the static fields surrounding charged objects. To avoid damaging  
drive electronic assemblies, observe the following precautions  
when installing or servicing the drive:  
• Ground yourself to the drive whenever the drive electronics  
are or will be exposed. Connect yourself to ground with a wrist  
strap (Seagate part number 12263496). Connection may be  
made to any grounded metal assembly. As a general rule,  
remember that you and the drive electronics must all be  
grounded to avoid potentially damaging static discharges.  
• Turn off the power before removing or installing the DC power  
cable.  
• Do not remove any circuit boards from the drive.  
• Never use an ohmmeter on any circuit boards.  
• When installing the drive on a carrier or tray, discharge the  
carrier or tray prior to inserting it into the system.

Important safety information and precautions  
Caution. Use forced-air ventilation when bench-testing the  
drive to ensure proper cooling of drive components.  
Use proper safety techniques for safe, reliable operation of this  
unit.  
The procedures in this manual and labels on the unit contain  
warnings and cautions that must be carefully read and followed  
to minimize or eliminate the risk of personal injury. The warnings  
point out conditions or practices that may endanger you or oth-  
ers. The cautions point out conditions or practices that may dam-  
age the unit, possibly making it unsafe for use.  
Always observe the following warnings and precautions:  
• Follow all cautions and warnings in the procedures.  
• Use sound safety practices when operating, installing, or  
removing the unit.  
• Use caution when troubleshooting a unit that has voltages  
present. Turn off power to the unit before removing it.  
• Ensure that the internal temperature of the rack or cabinet  
does not exceed the limits defined for the drive when the drive  
is mounted in an equipment rack or cabinet. When units are  
stacked vertically, pay special attention to the top where tem-  
peratures are usually highest.  
• Follow the precautions listed above in “Electrostatic discharge  
protection.”  
• Do not remove any circuit boards from the drive. Return the  
entire drive for depot repair if any circuit board is defective.  
Removal of circuit boards by personnel not performing depot  
repair will damage components and may void the warranty.

• Do not separate the head and disc assembly (HDA) from the  
PCB. Return the entire drive for depot repair if the HDA is  
defective.  
• Do not attempt to disassemble the HDA. It is not field repair-  
able. If the sealed HDA is opened by personnel not performing  
depot repair, this will damage components and void the  
warranty.  
As a component, this drive is designed to be installed and oper-  
ated in accordance with UL1950, EN60950, CSA C22.2 950-  
M89, and VDE0805.  
Seagate takes all reasonable steps to ensure that its products  
are certifiable to currently accepted standards. Typical applica-  
tions of these disc drives include customer packaging and sub-  
system design. Safety agencies conditionally certify component  
assemblies, such as the Cheetah disc drive, based on their final  
acceptability in the end-use product. The subsystem designers  
are responsible for meeting these conditions of acceptability in  
obtaining safety-regulatory agency compliance in their end-use  
products and for certifying where required by law. A necessary  
part of meeting safety requirements is the provision for overcur-  
rent protection on drive SELV supply voltages.  
This unit is a component part and as such is not meant to comply  
with FCC or similar national requirements as a stand-alone unit.  
Engineering radiated emissions test results are available  
through the Seagate Safety Department to assist the subsystem  
designer.

General description  
Cheetah 9 SCSI disc drives are high-speed, random-access dig-  
ital-data storage devices.  
The drive is a component for installation in an enclosure  
designed for the drive. This is often a rack within the system or  
an external enclosure designed to house one or more disc drives  
or other peripheral units. In either case, the disc drive must  
receive adequate cooling (refer to “Providing adequate cooling”)  
and it must be sufficiently grounded and shielded from emis-  
sions. The Cheetah 9 Product Manual (part number 83329170)  
contains guidelines for a properly designed enclosure.

The host system’s SCSI controller usually uses the ID that has  
the highest priority interrupt in the SCSI I/O system. This is  
always ID7. ID0 is lowest priority in an 8-bit I/O system. ID8 is  
lowest priority in a 16-bit I/O system. The lower priority SCSI IDs  
are normally used for other SCSI devices such as this Cheetah  
disc drive.  
Note. Most SCSI controllers (host adapters) allow you to skip a  
SCSI ID. For example, you can have ID0, ID1, and ID3  
(skipping ID2). Other controllers do not allow this so be  
sure to refer to your system or controller user’s manual  
for details about its requirements for proper SCSI device  
installation.  
Note. This drive is a SCAM (SCSI Configured Auto Magically)  
compliant drive. If the system into which you are installing  
this drive requires SCAM compliant drives, you do not  
need to be concerned about the drive ID jumper settings,  
as the system automatically assigns your new drive the  
ID it wants it to have. The system may or may not use the  
existing drive ID jumper settings. Setting the drive ID  
doesn’t hurt anything, but is not necessary in a SCAM  
compliant system.  
Most Cheetah disc drives are factory set with the SCSI ID set at  
0. To change the SCSI ID, refer to the appropriate drive section  
for your model.  
If, after completing the installation process, the drive’s LED does  
not show on/off activity when the host is trying to communicate  
with the drive, a duplicate SCSI ID may be the problem. If this is

Cheetah 9 Installation Guide, Rev. B  
the case, change the ID so that each device on the SCSI chain  
has its own unique ID. Also check your system or controller  
user’s manual to ensure that you have not violated its SCSI ID  
numbering recommendations.  
Drive termination  
If you are installing a Cheetah drive in a system that has other  
SCSI devices installed, terminate only the end devices on the  
SCSI chain. A SCSI “device” is any disc drive, scanner, tape  
backup unit, or other piece of hardware connected to your sys-  
tem using the SCSI bus.  
The top example in Figure 2 shows an internal hard disc at one  
end of the SCSI bus with the SCSI controller at the other end  
(both are terminated). The bottom example shows two additional  
SCSI devices connected externally—this means the SCSI con-  
troller is no longer on the end of the SCSI chain and should not  
be terminated.  
Note. Some controllers prefer to remain terminated even if they  
are in the middle of the chain. Also, some controllers treat  
the internal and external chains as separate logical  
buses. This means you may need to terminate both the  
first and last devices on both logical buses to achieve  
proper termination. If necessary, refer to your system or  
controller documentation to see how this is handled in  
your particular system.  
For information about how to terminate your drive, refer to the  
appropriate drive-specific section.

You usually will not need to change this option and can normally  
leave the drive configured as it was shipped from the factory. For  
information about how to change the terminator power option on  
your drive, refer to the appropriate drive-specific section.  
I/O circuits and data path widths  
• “WD” and “DC” models use differential I/O circuits. You cannot  
mix these models with single-ended models (“N,” “W,” “WC”)  
on the same SCSI bus. The circuits are incompatible with  
each other.  
• “W,” “WD,” and “WC” models have a “wide” (16-bit) SCSI data  
bus rather than the standard (non-wide) 8-bit SCSI data bus;  
however, you can use these wide drives on a standard (non-  
wide) 8-bit data bus.

Providing adequate cooling  
The enclosure design must ensure adequate cooling for the  
drive. The maximum ambient temperature is 50°C.  
The drive’s product manual (83329170) describes how to evalu-  
ate the air-flow design. The evaluation consists of ensuring that  
the case temperature of certain critical components remains  
within acceptable limits during drive operation.  
We recommend orienting the drive or directing the air flow in a  
way that creates the least amount of air-flow resistance while  
providing air flow above the circuit boards and around the head  
and disc assembly (HDA). Also, choose the shortest possible  
path between the air inlet and exit. This minimizes the distance  
traveled by air that is heated by the drive and by other nearby  
heat sources.  
Figure 4 shows two design approaches with one or more fans  
used to generate air flow. The air-flow patterns can be created  
by the fans either pushing or drawing air. The overall flow pattern  
can be directed from front to back, back to front, or side to side.

Kühlung des Systems  
Die Gehäusekonstruktion muß eine ausreichende Kühlung des  
Laufwerkes gewährleisten. Die Umgebungstemperatur darf  
maximal 50°C betragen.  
Die Produkthandbuch Cheetah 9 (Dokument 83329170)  
enthalten Anweisungen zur Beurteilung der Luftstromkonstruk-  
tion. Die Beurteilung muß sicherstellen, daß sich die Gehäuse-  
temperatur bestimmter kritischer Komponenten bei  
Laufwerkbetrieb innerhalb zugelassener Grenzen hält.  
Wir empfehlen, das Laufwerk so zu orientieren oder den Luft-  
strom so zu lenken, daß der geringste Luftstromwiderstand  
erzeugt wird und gleichzeitig ein Luftstrom über den Platinen  
und um die Kopf- und Festplatteneinheit (HDA) gegeben ist.  
Wählen Sie einen möglichst kurzen Weg zwischen Lufteinlaß  
und -auslaß. Dadurch wird die Strecke, die die vom Laufwerk  
und anderen nahegelegenen Hitzequellen aufgewärmte Luft  
zurücklegt, auf ein Minimum beschränkt.  
Abbildung 4 zeigt zwei Konstruktionsmöglichkeiten, bei denen  
ein oder mehrere Lüfter den Luftstrom erzeugen. Der Luftstrom-  
verlauf wird durch die Lüfter gesteuert, die entweder Luft einbla-  
sen oder abziehen. Generell kann der Luftstrom entweder von  
vorne nach hinten oder von hinten nach vorne verlaufen.

Mounting the drive and connecting cables  
Do not touch the connector pins or any components on the con-  
trol board without observing static-discharge precautions.  
Always handle the drive by the frame only.  
The drive may be mounted in any orientation (horizontally, verti-  
cally, and any combination thereof); however, you must ensure  
that the drive receives adequate air flow for cooling.  
1. Mount the drive to the host system’s chassis using four 6-32  
UNC screws. Two mounting holes are in each side of the  
drive and there are four mounting holes in the bottom of the  
drive.  
The maximum length that the screws should extend into the  
drive mounting holes is 0.15 inch (3.81 mm), measured  
from the outer surface of the drive. Tighten the screws down  
evenly. Do not over-tighten or force the screw if it does not  
seem to screw in easily, because this means the threads  
are not properly aligned. In this case, back the screw out  
and try again.  
Installation des Laufwerkes  
und Anschluß der Kabel  
Beachten Sie beim Handhaben und Anfassen der Anschlußstifte  
und Komponenten die Vorsichtsmaßnahmen zur Verhinderung  
statischer Aufladung. Fassen Sie das Laufwerk nur am Rahmen  
an.  
Das Laufwerk kann in beliebiger Orientierung (horizontal, ver-  
tikal oder schräg) installiert werden; jedoch muß dafür gesorgt  
werden, daß ein ausreichender Luftstrom zur Kühlung des Lauf-  
werkes vorhanden ist.

1. Befestigen Sie das Laufwerk mit vier 6-32-UNC-Schrauben  
am Gehäuse des Host-Systems. Die beiden Seiten des  
Laufwerkes sind mit jeweils zwei Befestigungslöchern  
versehen, die Unterseite des Laufwerkes weist vier weitere  
Befestigungslöcher auf.  
Gemessen von der Außenfläche des Gehäuses dürfen die  
Schrauben maximal 3,81 mm in die Befestigungslöcher des  
Gehüuses hineinragen. Die Schrauben müssen gleich-  
mäßig, jedoch nicht zu fest, angezogen werden. Wenn sich  
eine Schraube nicht ohne Widerstand einschrauben läßt,  
sind die Gewinde nicht korrekt aneinander ausgerichtet. In  
diesem Fall die Schraube nicht in das Gewindeloch  
forcieren, sondern die Schraube herausnehmen und erneut  
in das Gewindeloch einführen.  
2. Verify that all connections between the drive and the host  
system are correctly installed.  
2. Prüfen Sie, ob alle Verbindungen zwischen dem Laufwerk  
und dem Host-System korrekt hergestellt sind.  
3. Verify that you have correctly installed jumpers.

4. Connect the SCSI cable into the drive’s SCSI connector.  
Take care not to stretch or crimp this cable, and do not  
block the system’s cooling air flow with the cable.  
The drive receives DC power through a 4-pin connector  
mounted next to the SCSI connector. The output of a power  
supply must meet SELV (safety extra low voltage) as

Note. Signal ground on the power control board (PCB) and the  
head and disc assembly (HDA) are connected together in  
this drive and you cannot separate them. The equipment  
in which you have mounted the drive is connected  
directly to the HDA and PCB without electrically isolating  
shock mounts. Maximizing the conductive contact area  
between HDA ground and system ground may reduce  
radiated emissions.  
If you do not want the system chassis to be connected to  
the HDA/PCB ground, you must provide a nonconductive  
(electrically isolating) method of mounting the drive in the  
host system. This may increase radiated emissions and  
is the system designer’s responsibility.

Formatting the drive  
Warning. Formatting a drive erases all user data. Be sure that  
you understand this principle before formatting any  
hard disc drive. It is not necessary to format a drive  
that previously has been used to store data, unless  
your intention is to erase all user data.  
Note. Seagate is not responsible for lost user data.  
1. Turn on DC power.  
2. Boot the system from a system floppy disc or from a previ-  
ously installed hard disc drive if there is one.  
3. Format the disc drive. Cheetah 9 disc drives are designed to  
operate with a variety of operating systems. Please refer to  
your system or SCSI controller manual for information about  
formatting and setting up the drive. Some quick desktop  
system notes are provided below.  
Quick reference desktop system notes  
Note. Refer to your system or utility manual for detailed instruc-  
tions)  
• DOS. Set the drive type in CMOS to “Zero,” “None,” or “No  
hard drive installed.” Use FDISK.EXE and FORMAT.EXE. Sys-  
tems that have operating system Windows 95 release 950B or  
later do not need to partition the drive.  
• Macintosh. Use a third-party drive utility (Apple’s HD Setup  
utility only works with drives having special Apple firmware).

active terminators. If you install one of these drives and it is not  
on the end of the SCSI bus, disable the terminators by removing  
the jumper “TE” from pins 15 and 16 of connector J2. If you  
install the drive on the end of the SCSI bus, enable termination  
by installing a jumper on pins 15 and 16 of connector J2 (see  
Figure 13).  
Note. Use active (ANSI SCSI-2 Alternative 2) terminators when  
terminating the bus.  
“WD” model drives do not have internal terminators or any other  
way of adding internal termination to the drive. You must provide  
external differential termination to these drives when termination  
is required. See Figure 3d.

Terminator power  
Cheetah 9 Installation Guide, Rev. B  
There are three possible terminator power (TP) configurations  
for “W” model drives (see Figure 14). You will not normally need  
to change this option and can leave the drive configured as it  
was shipped from the factory.  
There are two possible terminator power (TP) configurations for  
“WD” model drives (see Figure 14).

Setting the SCSIWIDC/jDumCpderirvses section  
The SCSI ID for “WC” and “DC” model drives is normally set  
over the SCSI bus by the host system using connector contacts  
39 (ID0), 40 (ID2), 79 (ID1), and 80 (ID3).  
Terminating the drive  
“WC” and “DC” model drives do not have internal terminators or  
any other way of adding internal termination to the drive. You  
must provide external termination to these drives when termina-  
tion is required.
