9.5Synchronous data transfer
9.5.1Synchronous data transfer periods supported
Table 10 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.
Table 10: Synchronous data transfer periods
M (decimal) | Transfer period | Transfer rate | ||
(nanoseconds) | (megatransfers/second) | |||
| ||||
9 | 12.5 | 80.0 | [1] [2] | |
10 | 25 | 40.0 | [1] | |

[1]This transfer rate is only allowed when using the LVD interface.
[2]You must use the Parallel Protocol Request message with this transfer rate.
9.5.2REQ/ACK offset
The maximum value supported by the Cheetah 73LP 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 19 and 20 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
LW and LWV model drives receive DC power through a 4 pin connector (see Figure 21 for pin assignment) mounted at the rear of the main PCBA. Recommended part numbers of the mating connector are listed below, but equivalent parts may be used.
