[1]See Section 9.6.4.1 for detailed electrical characteristics of these signals.
[2]The conductor number refers to the conductor position when using
[3]Connector contacts are on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) centers.
[4]Front panel LED signal; indicates drive activity for host front panel hard drive activity indicator.
[5]Asserted by host to enable Motor Start option (enables starting motor via SCSI bus command).
[6]Asserted by host to enable Delayed Motor Start option (motor starts at power on or after a delay of 12 sec- onds times drive ID). This and [3] above are mutually exclusive options.
[7]Binary code on A3, A2, A1 and A0 asserted by host to set up SCSI bus ID in drive.
[8]GND provides a means for differential devices to detect the presence of a single ended device on the bus. Drive will not operate I/O bus at Ultra2 SCSI data rates if this is grounded.
[9]Signals [4] through [7] are used in place of installing jumpers and cables on option select connectors J2 and J6. See Section 8.1.1 notes.
[10]“NC” means no connection.
[11]8 bit devices which are connected to the 16 data bit LVD I/O shall leave the following signals open:
8 bit devices which are connected to the 16 data bit
All other signals should be connected as shown.
9.7Electrical description
Cheetah 36XL LW and LC model drives are multimode devices. That is, their I/O circuits can operate as either
See ANSI Standard X3T10/1302D for detailed electrical specifications.
9.7.1Multimode—SE and LVD alternatives
When the interface “DIFFSNS” line is between +0.35 V and +0.5 V, the drive interface circuits operate single- ended and up to and including 20 M transfers/s
This multimode design does not allow dynamically changing transmission modes. Drives must operate only in the mode for which the installation and interface cabling is designed. Multimode I/O circuits used by these drives do not operate at high voltage differential levels and should never be exposed to high voltage differential environments unless the common mode voltages in the environment are controlled to safe levels for single- ended and low voltage differential devices (see the ANSI
Multimode signals
Multimode circuit SE alternative signal characteristics are the same as described elsewhere in Section 9.7.1. The SE alternative for these circuits is selected as described above. SE cables and termination must be used.
LC and LW model drives do not have onboard terminators. The Multimode signal lines (either SE or LVD) should be terminated with 110 ohm active terminator circuits at each end of the total cable. Termination of the I/O lines must be provided for by the Host equipment designers or end users.
The SE and differential alternatives are mutually exclusive.
