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 sys- tems.

This drive should be mounted in an enclosure designed for the drive. This is often within the host system case or an external enclosure designed to house one or more disc drives or other devices. In either case, the disc drive must receive adequate cooling (refer to “Providing adequate cooling”) and it must be sufficiently grounded and shielded from emissions. The Cheetah 36 Product Manual (part number 83329440) contains guidelines for a properly designed enclosure.
