Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A 9 Electromagnetic compliance for the European Union If this model has the CE Marking it complies with the European Union requirements of the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 89/336/EEC of 03 May 1989 as amended by Directive 92/31/ EEC of 28 April 1992 and Directive 93/68/EEC of 22 July 1993.
10 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 systems. Figure 1. Cheetah 36 family drive (LW model shown) This drive should be mounted in an enclosure designed for the drive.
Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A 11 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.
12 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. Table 1.

Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A 17 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.
18 Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A Drive Front Jumper Plug (enlarged to show detail) Pin 1 J6 SCSI ID = 0 (default) SCSI ID = 1 SCSI ID = 2 SCSI ID = 3 SCSI ID = 4 SCSI ID = 5 SCSI ID = 6 SCSI ID = 7 SCSI ID = 8 Note: [1] Do not remove cover from pins 13 through 20 (darkened area). SCSI ID = 9 SCSI ID = 10 SCSI ID = 11 SCSI ID = 12 SCSI ID = 13 SCSI ID = 14 SCSI ID = 15 Figure 3.
Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A 2. 19 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 configurations. 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.

Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A 3. 21 Configure termination power. Terminators have to get power from some source. The default configuration results in the drive not suppling termination 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 figure below.
22 Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A 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.
Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A 5. 23 Check the other available jumper settings (optional) This drive provides several features for unique configurations. 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.
24 Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A Pin 1 J2 Pin 2 RR S D MW P E E T E S EP DSS P Reserved 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.
Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A 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 dimensions of the drive are provided in Figure 10. b.

Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A 29 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.
30 Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A 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.

32 Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A 2. Configure termination. LC model drives are designed for installation in host systems that have a backplane with single connector attachment (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.
Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A 3. 33 Check the other available jumper settings (optional) This drive provides several features for unique configurations. 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.

Cheetah 36 Installation Guide, Rev. A 4. 35 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 interface 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.
