Handling precautions
•
Disc drives are fragile. Do not drop or jar the drive. Use a
padded surface during installation to avoid damaging the
drive.
•
•
Keep the drive in its antistatic bag until you are ready to
install it.
Protect the drive from static discharge by making sure you
are well grounded before touching the drive. We recommend
wearing a grounded wrist strap (Seagate part number
12263496) throughout the installation process. Do not touch
the connectors or any part of the printed circuit board.
•
•
Always handle the drive by its edges or frame.
Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit board or
the top of the drive.
Electrostatic discharge protection
Caution. Removal of circuit boards by personnel not
performing 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 semi-
conductors 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 car-
rier or tray prior to inserting it into the system.
Important safety information and precautions
Caution. Use forced-air ventilation when bench-test-
ing the drive to ensure proper cooling of drive compo-
nents.
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 fol-

lowed to minimize or eliminate the risk of personal injury. The
warnings point out conditions or practices that may endanger
you or others. The cautions point out conditions or practices
that may damage 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, CAN/CSA C22.2
950-M95, 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 com-
ply 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.

Regulatory agency compliance
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 sys-
tem does not adversely affect the performance of the drive. See
DC power requirements on page 16.
Electromagnetic compliance
Seagate uses an independent laboratory to confirm compliance
to the directives/standard(s) for CE Marking and C-Tick Marking.
The drive was tested in a representative system for typical appli-
cations. The selected system represents the most popular char-
acteristics for test platforms. The system configurations include:
• 486, Pentium, and PowerPC microprocessors
• 3.5-inch floppy disc drive
• Keyboard
• Monitor/display
• Printer
• External modem
• Mouse
Although the test system with this Seagate model complies to
the directives/standard(s), we cannot guarantee that all systems
will comply. The computer manufacturer or system integrator
shall confirm EMC compliance and provide CE Marking and C-
Tick Marking for their product.

Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A
General description
Cheetah 36 SCSI disc drives are high-speed, random-access
digital-data storage devices capable of operating in single-ended
(SE) or low voltage differential (LVD) modes.
This multimode capability allows you to use this drive in systems
that use the traditional SE technology or in LVD-capable sys-
tems.
Figure 1. Cheetah 36 family drive (LW model shown)
This drive should be mounted in an enclosure designed for the
drive. This is often within the host system case or an external
enclosure designed to house one or more disc drives or other
devices. In either case, the disc drive must receive adequate
cooling (refer to “Providing adequate cooling”) and it must be
sufficiently grounded and shielded from emissions. The Cheetah
36 Product Manual (part number 83329440) contains guidelines
for a properly designed enclosure.

Single-ended and low voltage differential modes
This drive incorporates two different transceivers to allow you to
use it in systems which use single-ended (SE) drivers and
receivers, or in low voltage differential (LVD) capable systems
which use LVD drivers and receivers.
The primary benefits of LVD technology
• Faster transfer rates.
• Reduces power consumption.
• Increases allowable cable lengths.
• Improves device connectivity.
You can configure the drive to switch between SE and LVD
modes automatically or force it to operate in SE mode only. To
configure this option, use the jumper illustration on page 24 (LW
models) or page 34 (LC models).
Note.
To operate at the Ultra2 SCSI rates in LVD mode, all
devices on the same bus must be running in LVD mode. If
you add any single-ended device to a bus that is operat-
ing in LVD mode, all devices drop back to operating in
single-ended mode. This eliminates the possibility of
reaching Ultra2 SCSI transfer rates.
Caution. Do not mix LVD drives on the same bus with
devices having high voltage differential (HVD) interface
circuits. The circuits are not compatible and drive dam-
age may occur.

Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A
Data bus widths
These drives have a wide (16-bit) SCSI data bus. You can use
these drives on a non-wide (8-bit) data bus if you provide proper
termination to the upper eight data lines. This is often referred to
as providing “high-9 termination” (the other bit is for parity).
The following table lists the maximum cable lengths and number
of devices using single-ended and LVD I/O circuits.

Providing adequate cooling
The enclosure design must ensure adequate cooling for the
drive. The maximum ambient temperature allowed is 50°C.
The drive’s product manual (83329440) 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.
Figure 2 shows two design approaches with one or more fans
used to generate air flow. The air-flow patterns can be created

How to install the drive
This installation guide provides step-by-step instructions to make
your drive installation as easy as possible. Follow the installation
steps listed for your drive model as listed below:
LW models (use the installation steps beginning below).
LC models (use the installation steps beginning on page 30).
LW model installation
1. Set the SCSI ID on the drive.
Determine which SCSI IDs are already being used in the
system and then assign this disc drive a SCSI ID that isn’t
already being used. Use the J6 connector located on the
front of the drive to set the SCSI ID (see Figure 3).
• This drive is SCAM (SCSI Configured AutoMati-
cally) compliant. If you are installing this drive in a
SCAM compliant system, you can skip this step
because the system automatically assigns the drive SCSI
ID.
• The host system’s SCSI controller usually uses SCSI ID 7
so this SCSI ID is not usually available for disc drives or
other devices.
• Most ST136403LW drives are factory set with the SCSI ID
set at 0. If this is the only SCSI drive in your system and
there are no other SCSI devices on the daisychain, you can
leave this drive’s SCSI ID set to 0 and proceed to the next
step. A device is any hardware other than an inline termina-
tor that is connected to the SCSI cable.

2. Configure termination.
If you are installing the drive in a system that has other SCSI
devices installed, terminate only the end devices on the
SCSI bus.
Figure 4 shows the three most common termination configu-
rations. LW model drives do not have internal terminators or
any other way of adding internal termination on the drive.
You must provide external termination to these drives when
termination is required. This is normally done by adding an
in-line terminator on the cable. See Figure 9 on page 27 for
an illustration showing a system configuration that uses an
inline terminator.
• Use active (ANSI SCSI-2 Alternative 2) single-
ended terminators when terminating a bus oper-
ating in single-ended mode.
• Use SPI-2-compliant active low voltage differential termina-
tors when terminating a SCSI Ultra2 bus operating in LVD
mode.
• 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 termi-
nation. If necessary, refer to your system or controller doc-
umentation to see how this is handled in your particular
system.

3. Configure termination power.
Terminators have to get power from some source. The
default configuration results in the drive not suppling termi-
nation power to the bus. You should normally leave this
drive set at this default unless your host system requires
that the drive supply termination power to the bus.
To configure this drive to supply termination power to the
bus, place a jumper on J2 pins 1 and 2 as shown in the fig-
ure below.

4. Connect the drive activity remote LED (optional)
This drive provides connections for a remote drive activity
LED. This step is optional because the drive will work fine
without an LED connected, but many people find this to be
helpful to determine when the drive is actively reading or
writing data.
Most host systems provide this LED which is a small “bulb”
(actually a light-emitting diode) located on the host’s front
panel. Simply locate this LED and connect the attached pair
of wires to the pins on the drive as shown in Figure 6 below.

5. Check the other available jumper settings (optional)
This drive provides several features for unique configura-
tions. You will not normally need to change from the default
settings for normal operation. See Figure 7 on page 24.
Single-ended mode option
You can force the drive to operate only in SE mode by
installing a jumper on J2 pins 15 and 16. The default is to
allow the drive to automatically detect and use SE or LVD
mode. See page 11 for a description of these two modes.
Delay Motor Start and Motor Start options
You can control when the drive’s motor starts spinning the
media using these two jumper positions (J2 pins 11 and 12
and J2 pins 13 and 14). You can configure the drive to delay
spinning up until a certain number of seconds elapse or until
the drive receives a Start Unit command from the host sys-
tem. The default settings are with both off so that the drive
begins spinning up as soon as it receives power.
Write Protect option
You can install a jumper connecting J2 pins 9 and 10 to pre-
vent anyone from writing data to this disc drive (users can
still read data from the drive). This jumper is normally left off
to allow users to write data to the drive.
Parity Check option
You can disable parity checking by installing a jumpers on
J2 pins 7 and 8. Most systems prefer that parity checking
remain enabled. Refer to your host adapter or system docu-
mentation to determine whether your host adapter supports
parity checking.

6. Mount the drive in the host system and connect
cabling.
a. 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. Do not over-tighten or force the
screw if it does not seem to screw in easily. The dimen-
sions of the drive are provided in Figure 10.
b. Connect the SCSI cable into the drive’s SCSI connector
as illustrated in Figure 8 on page 26. Take care not to
stretch or crimp this cable, and do not block the sys-
tem’s air flow with the cable. Figure 9 on page 27 shows
an example of how to connect multiple drives on the
same bus.
c. Connect the DC power cable to the drive as illustrated
in Figure 8.
d. Replace the host system’s cover.
• Do not touch the connector pins or any compo-
nents on the circuit board.
•
Observe static-discharge precautions.
• Always handle the drive by the frame only.
• The drive may be mounted in any orientation; however, you
must ensure that the drive receives adequate air flow for
cooling.
7. Format the drive.
Follow the instructions on page 37 to format the drive.

Additional connector on LW model drives
LW model drives have a connector located between the SCSI I/O
connector and the DC power connector to allow you to set the
SCSI ID and connect LEDs from the back of the drive. You are
not required to use this connector, but it’s available if you want to
use it. Refer to Figure 11 for pin assignments.

LC model installation
1. Set the SCSI ID on the drive.
Determine which SCSI IDs are already being used in the
system and then assign the disc drive a SCSI ID that isn’t
already being used. Use the J6 connector located on the
front of the drive to set the SCSI ID (see Figure 12).
• This drive is SCAM (SCSI Configured Auto
Magically) compliant. If you are installing this
drive in a SCAM compliant system, you can skip
this step because the system automatically assigns the
drive SCSI ID.
• The host system’s SCSI controller usually uses SCSI ID 7
so this SCSI ID is not usually available for disc drives or
other devices.
• Most ST136403LC drives are factory set with the SCSI ID
set at 0. If this is the only SCSI drive in your system and
there are no other SCSI devices on the daisychain, you can
leave this drive’s SCSI ID set to 0 and proceed to the next
step. A device is any hardware other than an inline termina-
tor that is connected to the SCSI cable.

2. Configure termination.
LC model drives are designed for installation in host sys-
tems that have a backplane with single connector attach-
ment (SCA) connections. Termination is normally provided
on this backplane. Check your host system documentation
for details.
• You can use this drive in host systems that do
not have a backplane with SCA connectors by
using a SCA to wide SCSI-2 adapter. These
adapters separate the interface lines from the power lines. If
you use such an adapter, proceed with step 2 of the installa-
tion instructions provided for LW model drives.
Note. Host systems designed to use LC drives normally provide
termination power from the host adapter or other source.
LC model drives cannot be configured to provide termina-
tion power to the bus.

3. Check the other available jumper settings (optional)
This drive provides several features for unique configura-
tions. You will not normally need to change from the default
settings for normal operation. See Figure 13 on page 34.
Single-ended mode option
You can force the drive to operate only in SE mode by
installing a jumper on J2 pins 15 and 16. The default is to
allow the drive to automatically detect and use SE or LVD
mode. See page 11 for a description of these two modes.
Delay Motor Start and Motor Start options
You can control when the drive’s motor starts spinning the
media using these two jumper positions (J2 pins 11 and 12
and J2 pins 13 and 14). You can configure the drive to delay
spinning up until a certain number of seconds elapse or until
the drive receives a Start Unit command from the host sys-
tem. The default settings are with both off so that the drive
begins spinning up as soon as it receives power.
Write Protect option
You can install a jumper connecting J2 pins 9 and 10 to pre-
vent anyone from writing data to this disc drive (users can
still read data from the drive). This jumper is normally left off
to allow users to write data to the drive.
Parity Check option
You can disable parity checking by installing a jumpers on
J2 pins 7 and 8. Most systems prefer that parity checking
remain enabled. Refer to your host adapter or system docu-
mentation to determine whether your host adapter supports
parity checking.

Single-Ended Mode option
Use single-ended or low voltage differential mode.
Force the drive to operate only in single-ended mode.
Delay Motor Start option
(valid only if the Enable Motor Start jumper is not connected)
Disable the Delay Motor Start option (default).
Motor start delay equal to the SCSI ID multiplied by 12 seconds.
For example, if the SCSI ID = 2, the drive starts in 24 seconds.
Motor Start option
Disable motor start (default). The drive starts according to the
Delay Motor Start option.
Enable motor start. The drive waits for the Start Unit command
from the host before starting the spindle motor.
Write Protect option
Write protect = Off (enables writing – default).
Write protect = On (disables writing).
Parity Check option
Enable parity check of SCSI bus (default).
Disable parity check.

4. Mount the drive in the host system.
To mount an LC model drive, plug the drive into the system’s
single connector attachment (SCA) position on the system’s
backplane. The SCA connector on the drive contains inter-
face and power functions, so it does not require a separate
power connector. The dimensions of the drive are provided
in Figure 15.
Some host systems require that you first mount the drive to
a sliding tray or courier before inserting it into the system.
This drive model plugs directly into a backplane connector
and therefore does not use cables.

data. Be sure that you understand this principle
before formatting any hard disc drive. It is not nec-
essary to format a drive that previously has been used to
store data unless your intention is to erase all user data.
Seagate is not responsible for lost user data.
Important information about formatting the drive
•
•
•
The drive has been low level formatted at the factory.
You do not need to perform another low level format on
this drive unless you decide to perform certain diagnos-
tics through the host adapter.
If you do decide to perform a low level format, do not
abort the format as this is likely to make the drive inoper-
able. A low level format will typically take less than 30
minutes.
Protect against power failure or other power interrup-
tions during the format.
Cheetah 36 disc drives are designed to operate with a vari-
ety of operating systems. Some brief instructions are pro-
vided below for DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows
98, and Macintosh systems. For more detailed instructions,
or if your operating system is not covered by these instruc-
tions, please refer to your operating system or drive utility
documentation.

System preparation
a. Turn your computer on. As your computer starts up,
watch the screen for a message describing how to run
the system setup program (sometimes called BIOS or
CMOS setup). This is usually done by pressing a spe-
cial key, such as DELETE, ESC, or F1 during startup.
See your computer manual for details. Press the appro-
priate key to run the system setup program.
b. Set the drive type in your BIOS or CMOS setup to
“Zero,” None,” or “No hard drive installed” and then
save and exit from your setup program.
Drive partitioning
Partitioning a hard drive divides it into sections (partitions)
that act as separate logical drives (labeled C, D, E, etc.). To
partition your new drive:
a. Insert a bootable DOS diskette into your diskette drive
and restart your computer.
b. Insert a DOS program diskette that contains the
fdisk.exe and format.com programs into your diskette
drive. At the A: prompt, type fdisk and press ENTER.
c. If you have two hard drives installed, the fdisk menu
displays five options. Option five allows you to select
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A
39
the drive you want to partition. Make sure that your new
drive is selected. If you accidently repartition your old
hard drive, you will erase all data on the drive.
d. Press 1 to select “Create DOS partition or logical DOS
drive” and then press the ENTER key.
e. Press 1 again to select “Create primary DOS partition”
and then press the ENTER key. Create your first drive
partition.
If you are creating a partition that will be used to boot
your computer (drive C:), make sure that the partition is
marked active.
f.
Create an extended partition and additional logical
drives, if necessary, until all the space on your new hard
drive has been partitioned.
g. When the partitioning is complete, fdisk reboots your
computer.
Drive formatting
a. At the A: prompt, type format x where x is the letter of
your new partition. If this is your boot drive, type format
x: /s. Make sure you use the correct drive letter. If you
format a drive that already contains data, you will erase
all data on the drive.
b. Repeat this process for all the new partitions you have
created.
After you format your new drive, it is ready to use. You’re
done!
