Handling precautions/electrostatic discharge protection
• Disc drives are fragile. Do not drop or jar the drive and handle the drive
only by the edges or frame.
• Drive electronics are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Keep the
drive in its antistatic container until you are ready to install it. Wear a wrist
strap and cable connected to ground. Discharge static from all items near
or that will contact the drive. Never use an ohmmeter on any circuit
boards.
• Turn off the power to the host system during installation.
• Always use forced-air ventilation when operating the drive.
• Use caution when troubleshooting a unit that has voltages present.
• Do not disassemble the drive; doing so voids the warranty.
• Return the entire drive for depot service if any part is defective.
• Do not apply pressure or attach labels to circuit board or drive top.

What you need
• Phillips screwdriver and four 6-32 UNC drive mounting screws
• Forced-air ventilation to provide adequate drive cooling
• An unused drive power connector (not applicable to LC models)
To operate at LVD transfer rates, you also need an LVD-capable SCSI host
adapter, LVD I/O cable and active negation external terminator.
Multimode interface
This drive can operate in single-ended (SE) or low voltage differential (LVD)
mode. This multimode capability provides backwards compatibility so you
can use it with or without an LVD-capable host adapter. The primary bene-
fits of LVD technology include faster transfer rates, reduced power con-
sumption, increased allowable cable lengths, and improved device
connectivity.
You can configure the drive to switch between SE and LVD modes auto-
matically or force it to operate in SE mode only. To configure this option,
see Figure 2.
Note. To operate in LVD mode, all devices on the same bus (cable) must
be running in LVD mode. If you add any SE devices to the bus, all
devices on that bus will operate in SE mode.
Note. Some LVD host adapters provide an LVD connector and an SE con-
nector on the same host adapter to allow you to run SE and LVD
drives concurrently at their maximum capabilities. Check your SCSI
host adapter documentation. See Figure 3.
Caution. Do not mix LVD drives on the same bus (cable) with high voltage
differential (HVD) devices–—drive damage may occur.
Installation instructions
1. Set the SCSI ID
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 1).
• Most Cheetah 36ES 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 bus (cable), you can leave this drive’s SCSI ID set to 0
and proceed to the next step.
• The host system’s SCSI controller usually uses SCSI ID 7.
• If you have an LW model drive, the ID may be set using either J6 or J5
(located on the rear of the drive).
• If you have an LC model drive, the host normally sets the ID over the I/O
interface, so this step may be skipped.
• Some systems provide a cable designed to connect to the J5 jumper
block on the drive to remotely set the ID. You can connect this cable to J5
and use the host-provided remote switch to set the SCSI ID.
Figure 1. Setting the SCSI ID
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 (cable). This drive
does not have internal terminators or any other way of adding internal termi-
nation on the drive. You must provide external termination when termination
is required. This is normally done by adding an inline terminator on the end
of the cable. See Figure 3 for an illustration showing a system configuration
that uses a external terminator.
• Use active (ANSI SCSI-2 Alternative 2) single-ended terminators when
terminating a bus operating in single-ended mode.
• Use SPI-2-compliant active low voltage differential terminators when ter-
minating a SCSI Ultra2 bus operating in LVD mode.
• The host adapter is normally on the other end of the bus and internally
terminated. You can configure your bus with another device on the other
end if you remove termination from the host adapter.
3. Configure terminator power
Terminators have to get power from some source. The default configuration
results in the drive not supplying termination power to the bus. You should
normally leave this drive set at this default unless your host system requires
the drive to 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 Figure 2.
• Host systems designed to use LC drives normally provide termination
power from the host adapter or other source. For this reason, LC model
drives cannot be configured to provide termination power to the bus.
4. Connect the drive activity LED (optional)
Connect an external Drive Activity LED to J6 pins 11 and 12 (see Figure 2),
or to J5 pin 8 (see Figure 1) and the drives +5V power source, through an
appropriately sized current limiting resistor. The drive provides an internal
150 ohm current limiting resistor for the J6 connection.
5. Check the other available jumper settings
Select other options on J2 as illustrated in Figure 2. Do not change these
unless instructed to do so by the host system documentation.

6. Mount the drive in the host system and connect cables
Note. LC drives are designed to be attached to a carrier or tray and
inserted into the host system without I/O or power cables.
a. Mount LW model drives 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 screws. You can mount the drive in any
orientation.
b. Connect the SCSI I/O cable into the drive’s SCSI connector. Take
care not to stretch or crimp this cable, and do not block the sys-
tem’s cooling air flow with the cable.
Note. For Ultra2 and faster operation, special twisted pair LVD
cables are required.
c. Connect the DC power cable to the drive. See Figure 3.
Figure 3. Cable connections and external termination
7. Format 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 diagnostics through the host adapter. If you do decide to perform a
low level format, do not abort during the format as this is likely to make the
drive inoperable. A low level format, with verification, will typically take two
hours.
Protect against power failure or other power interruptions during the format.
a. Turn on DC power to the host system.
b. Boot the system from a system floppy, CD, or from a previously
installed hard disc drive if there is one.
c. Format the drive.
Caution. Formatting a drive erases all user data. Be sure that you under-
stand 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. Seagate
is not responsible for lost user data.
Cheetah disc drives are designed to operate with a variety of operating sys-
tems. 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.
•MicrosoftTM.Set the drive type in CMOS to “Zero,” “None,” or “No hard
drive installed.”Use FDISK.EXE and FORMAT.EXE. Systems using Win-
dows 98 or later can create one single partition (drive letter) on the drive.
•MacintoshTM.Use a third-party drive utility (most revisions of Apple’s HD
Setup utility only work with drives having special Apple firmware).
Troubleshooting
•Drive does not spin up. Check cables and all jumper settings. Make
sure cable pin 1 (edge stripe) matches PCB pin 1.
•Drive spins, but no LED on/off activity. Check SCSI ID setting. Set the
ID so that each device on the SCSI chain has its own unique ID. The host
I/O controller is usually ID7.
•Computer does not seem to recognize the drive. Verify that the drive
is enabled by the SCSI host adapter setup utility.
•FDISK does not detect the drive. Run the FDISK program located on
your Windows startup diskette. Type fdisk/status to verify that your hard
drive is present.
