Product manual

• Always rest the drive on a padded, antistatic surface until you mount
it in the host system.
• Do not touch the connector pins or the printed circuit board.
• Do not remove the factory-installed labels from the drive or cover them
with additional labels. If you do, you void the warranty. Some factory-
installed labels contain information needed to service the drive. Others
are used to seal out dirt and contamination.
2.3 Electrical interface
The ST51080N drive is designed to use singled-ended interface signals.
They employ singled-ended drivers and receivers and active terminator
circuitry. Figure 2 shows a single-ended transmitter and receiver without
the active terminator circuitry.
• Transmitter characteristics. The drive uses an ANSI SCSI-compat-
ible, open-collector, single-ended driver. This driver is capable of
sinking a current of 48 mA with a low-level output voltage of 0.4 volts.
• Receiver characteristics. The drive uses an ANSI SCSI single-
ended receiver with hysteresis gate or equivalent as a line receiver.
The loss in the cable is defined as the difference between the voltages
of the input and output signals, as shown below:
