2.0 Scope ® ® This manual describes Seagate Technology LLC, Cheetah 15K.5 SCSI disc drives. Cheetah 15K.5 SCSI drives support the small computer system interface (SCSI) as described in the ANSI SCSI SPI-4 interface specifications to the extent described in this manual. The SCSI Interface Manual (part number 100293069) describes general SCSI interface characteristics of this and other families of Seagate drives. From this point on in this product manual the reference to Cheetah 15K.5 SCSI mode

3.0 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 p

3.2 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 applications. The selected sys- tem represents the most popular characteristics for test platforms. The system configurations include: • Typical current use microprocessor • 3.5-inch floppy disc drive • Keyboard • Monitor/display • Printer • External modem •Mouse Although the test

Seagate also has internal systems in place to ensure ongoing compliance with the RoHS Directive and all laws and regulations which restrict chemical content in electronic products. These systems include standard operat- ing procedures that ensure that restricted substances are not utilized in our manufacturing operations, labora- tory analytical validation testing, and an internal auditing process to ensure that all standard operating procedures are complied with. 3.4 Reference documents Cheet

4.0 General description Cheetah 15K.5 SCSI drives combine Tunneling Magnetoresistive (TMR) heads and a wide Ultra320 SCSI interface to provide high performance, high capacity data storage for a variety of systems including engineer- ing workstations, network 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 o

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. 4.1 Standard features The Cheetah 15K.5 SCSI family has the following standard features: •

4.5.1 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 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 chang

5.3 Start/stop time After DC power at nominal voltage has been applied, the drive becomes ready within 20 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 20 seconds. During spin up to ready time the drive responds to some com- mands over the SCSI interface in less than 3

Each cache segment is actually a self-contained circular buffer whose length is an integer number of logical blocks. The drive dynamically creates and removes segments based on the workload. The wrap-around capa- bility of the individual segments greatly enhances the cache’s overall performance. Note. The size of each segment is not reported by Mode Sense command page 08h, bytes 14 and 15. The value 0XFFFF is always reported regardless of the actual size of the segment. Sending a size specifi
