Cheetah 18 Installation Guide, Rev. A 15

General description

Cheetah 18 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.

These two modes are offered to allow you to use this drive in systems that use the traditional SE technology or to use it in LVD-capable systems. Refer to page 20 for additional informa- tion about LVD technology.

The drive is a component for installation in an enclosure designed for the drive. This is often a rack within the system or an external enclosure designed to house one or more disc drives or other peripheral units. In either case, the disc drive must receive adequate cooling (refer to “Providing adequate cooling”) and it must be sufficiently grounded and shielded from emis- sions. The Cheetah 18 Product Manual (part number 83329260) contains guidelines for a properly designed enclosure.

Attention. This high performance Cheetah disc drive must have proper power and cooling for reliable operation.
