9.5Synchronous data transfer

9.5.1Synchronous data transfer periods supported

Table 11 and Section 9.5.2 list Synchronous Data transfer periods supported by the drive. The data transfer period to be used by the drive and the initiator is established by an exchange of messages during the Message Phase of operation. See the section on message protocol in the SCSI Interface Product Manual, part number 75789509.

9.5.2REQ/ACK offset

The maximum value supported by the Barracuda 36ES2 family drives for REQ/ACK offset is 63 (3Fh).

9.6Physical interface

This section describes the connectors, cables, signals, terminators and bus timing of the DC and SCSI I/O interface. See Section 9.8 and Section 9.9 for additional terminator information.

Figures 16 and 17 show the locations of the DC power connector, SCSI interface connector, drive select head- ers, and option select headers.

Details of the physical, electrical and logical characteristics are given in sections following, while the SCSI operational aspects of Seagate drive interfaces are given in the SCSI Interface Product Manual, part number 75789509.

9.6.1DC cable and connector

N and LW model drives receive DC power through a 4 pin connector (see Figures 22 and 23 for pin assign- ments) mounted at the rear of the main PCBA. Recommended part numbers of the mating connector are listed below, but equivalent parts may be used.
