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 gen-  
eral rule, remember that you and the drive electronics must

all be grounded to avoid potentially damaging static dis-  
charges.  
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  
static electricity from 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 and repair techniques for safe, reliable opera-  
tion of this unit. Service should be done only by qualified per-  
sons. We recommend the procedures in this manual as effective  
ways of servicing the unit. Some procedures require the use of  
special tools. For proper maintenance and safety, you must use  
these tools as recommended.  
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.  
These warnings and cautions are not exhaustive. We cannot  
possibly know, evaluate, and advise you of all the ways in which  
maintenance might be performed or the possible risk of each  
technique. Consequently, we have not completed any such  
broad evaluation. If you use a non-approved procedure or tool,

first ensure that the method you choose will not risk either your  
safety or unit performance.  
Always observe the following warnings and precautions:  
Perform all maintenance by following the procedures in this  
manual.  
Follow all cautions and warnings in the procedures.  
Use sound safety practices when operating or repairing the  
unit.  
Use caution when troubleshooting a unit that has voltages  
present. Turn off power to the unit before servicing it.  
Wear safety shoes when removing or replacing heavy parts.  
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 temperatures are usually highest.  
Follow the precautions listed above in “Electrostatic dis-  
charge protection.”  
Do not remove any circuit boards from the drive chassis.  
Return the entire drive for depot repair if any circuit board is  
defective. Removal of circuit boards by personnel not per-  
forming depot repair will damage components and may void  
the warranty.  
As a component, the drive is designed to be installed and oper-  
ated in accordance with UL1950, IEC950, CSA C22.2 950-M89,  
and VDE0805 and EN60950.  
Seagate takes all reasonable steps to ensure that its products  
are certifiable to currently accepted standards.

Typical applications of these disc drives include customer pack-  
aging and subsystem design. Safety agencies conditionally cer-  
tify 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 condi-  
tions of acceptability in obtaining safety-regulatory agency com-  
pliance in their end-use products and for certifying where  
required by law. A necessary part of meeting safety require-  
ments is the provision for overcurrent 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.

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:

General description  
Cheetah 4LP FC disc drives are high-speed, random-access  
digital-data storage devices designed to be used within a Fibre  
Channel host system.  
The drive is a component for installation in an enclosure  
designed for the drive. The disc drive must receive adequate  
cooling (refer to “Providing adequate cooling”) and it must be  
sufficiently grounded and shielded from emissions. The Cheetah  
4LP FC Product Manual (part number 83329190) contains  
guidelines for a properly designed enclosure.

Installing the Cheetah 4LP FC drive  
To install a Cheetah 4LP FC drive, simply plug the drive directly  
into your system’s Fibre Channel backpanel 40-pin single con-  
nector attachment (FC-SCA). There are no jumpers or termina-  
tors on the drive, and power is supplied through the connector.  
Table 1 on page 25 lists the pin descriptions of the 40-pin FC-  
SCA.  
Read the following general information topics to ensure your  
drive is installed properly:  
Providing adequate cooling  
Mounting the drive  
Formatting the drive  
Providing adequate cooling  
The enclosure design must ensure adequate cooling for the  
drive.  
The drive’s product manual (83329190) describes how to evalu-  
ate the air-flow design. The evaluation consists of ensuring that  
the case temperatures of certain critical components remain  
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.

Cheetah 4LP FC Installation Guide, Rev. B  
Figure 2 shows one design approach with one or more fans used  
to generate air flow. The air-flow pattern can be created by the  
fans either pushing or drawing air. The overall flow pattern must  
be directed from side to side in most FC-SCA systems.

Mounting the drive  
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.  
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. See  
Figure 3.  
The maximum length that the screws should extend into the  
chassis mounting holes is 0.15 inch (3.81 mm), measured from  
the outer surface of the chassis. Tighten the screws down  
evenly. Do not over-tighten or force the screw if it does not seem  
to screw in easily.  
Installation des Laufwerkes  
Beachten Sie beim Handhaben und Anfassen der Anschlußstifte  
und Komponenten die Vorsichtsmaßnahmen zur Verhinderung  
statischer Aufladung. Fassen Sie das Laufwerk nur am Rahmen  
an.  
Befestigen Sie das Laufwerk mit vier 6-32-UNC-Schrauben am  
Gehäuse des Host-Systems. Die beiden Seiten des Laufwerkes  
sind mit jeweils zwei Befestigungslöcher versehen, die  
Unterseite des Laufwerkes weist vier weitere Befestigungslöcher  
auf. Siehe Abbiludung 3.  
Gemessen von der Außenfläche des Gehäuses dürfen die  
Schrauben maximal 3,81 mm in die Befestigungslöcher des  
Gehüuses hineinragen. Die Schrauben müssen gleichmäßig,

Inserting the drive  
Most systems provide a way to insert the drive using a carrier or  
tray which allows the drive to be hot-plugged into the system’s  
Fibre Channel 40-pin single connector attachment (FC-SCA).  
Refer to your system documentation about the method they pro-  
vide and follow their instructions.  
When installing the drive on a carrier or tray, discharge the static  
electricity from the carrier or tray prior to inserting it into the sys-  
tem.  
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  
which has previously been used to store data).  
1. Supply DC power to the drive (power is supplied to the drive  
through the 40-pin FC-SCA).  
2. Format the disc drive. This drive is designed to operate with  
a variety of operating systems. Refer to your system and  
Fibre Channel controller manual for information about  
selecting and formatting the drive.

Enabling write cache  
Write caching is a feature that allows the drive to transfer write  
data to its own cache, tell the controller that the task is complete,  
and then actually complete the write at a later time. This  
improves write performance by freeing the CPU to go on to its  
next command.  
Warning. Information can be lost if you enable write cache  
and there is a system failure (for example, power  
failure) before the data has actually been physically  
written to the disc.  
OEM drives are shipped with write cache disabled by default to  
enhance data integrity. If you want to enable the write cache,  
refer to your system’s drive controller and software utility docu-  
mentation. Seagate provides an ASPI utility that you can use in a  
PC compatible system to enable the write cache. It is available  
on Seagate’s CompuServe forum and on the Seagate BBS  
(refer to “Seagate technical support services” on page 10).  
Connecting remote LEDs  
You can connect remote LEDs using J6 (see Figure 4).  
Connect the anode (usually the longer LED connector) to the  
+5V pin, and the cathode to the appropriate LED output pin. For  
example, if you want to attach an LED which lights up when the  
drive is active (reading or writing), connect the LED’s anode con-  
nector to J6 pin 6 and the cathode to J6 pin 3.

[1] The drive has a 2.2k ohm resistor in series with this LED driver.  
Connect the minus side of an external high-efficiency LED (i.e. 2ma)  
to this pin. Connect the plus side of the LED to +5V.  
[2] An external current limiting resistor is required when connecting an  
LED to this pin. The minus side of the resistor/LED combination is  
connected to this pin. Connect the plus side to +5V. This pin con-  
nects in parallel with the signal of the same name in the J1 interface  
connector.  
[3] Jumper storage location is across pins 2 and 4 (horizontally).

Troubleshooting  
Before calling Seagate Technical Support, please read the pos-  
sibilities discussed below. The suggestions presented here will  
resolve the majority of installation problems.  
General installation troubleshooting  
Check system compatibility. This is a Fibre Channel (FC)  
device. Check your system documentation to ensure that it  
supports FC devices.  
Check the physical attachment. Ensure that the drive is  
properly mated with the backpanel Fibre Channel single  
connector attachment (FC-SCA).  
Check to ensure that drive is receiving power. Insert the  
drive into your system. Listen carefully for the sound of the  
drive motor spinning up. If the drive motor does not spin up,  
check the power supply. If your power supply is functioning  
properly, but the drive does not spin up, contact the com-  
pany from which you purchased the drive.  
Check your system or backpanel documentation to  
ensure you have set options in accordance with the  
manufacturer’s recommendations. All device options,  
including addresses, are set at the backpanel within the  
host system or through system software. Check your host  
system documentation about how to set these options in  
your particular system.
