Seagate ST3500071FC, ST3400071FC manual Signal characteristics

9.5.12Device control codes

The drive inputs a Device Control Code on the DEV_CTRL_CODE lines at power up to determine the link rate on the Fibre Channel ports. Both ports run at the same rate. If the backpanel does not connect to these lines, the drive has 10K ohm pull up resistors that default the device control code to 7 (1.0625 GHz). Table 33 lists the supported codes.

Table 33:	Device control code values
2 (pin 17)		1 (pin 18)	0 (pin 39)	Definition
0		0	0	Reserved for Power failure warning.
0		0	1	Reserved for auto negotiation of link rate.
0		1	0	Reserved.
0		1	1	Reserved.
1		0	0	Reserved.
1		0	1	Reserved.
1		1	0	2.125 GHz operation on both ports.
1		1	1	1.0625 GHz operation on both ports.

9.6Signal characteristics

This section describes the electrical signal characteristics of the drive’s input and output signals. See Table 29 on page 62 for signal type and signal name information.

9.6.1TTL input characteristics

Table 34 provides the TTL characteristics.
