4.0 General description Cheetah 15K.7 FC drives provide high performance, high capacity data storage for a variety of systems including engineering workstations, network servers, mainframes, and supercomputers. Cheetah 15K.7 FC drives support 4-Gbit Fibre Channel. Cheetah 15K.7 FC drives support the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) and SCSI Fibre Channel Protocol as described in the ANSI specifications, this document, and the Fibre Channel Interface Manual which describes the general interface characteristics of this drive. Cheetah 15K.7 FC drives are classified as intelligent peripherals and provide level 2 conformance (highest level) with the ANSI SCSI-1 standard. Cheetah 15K.7 FC SED models have provisions for "Security of Data at Rest" based on the standards defined by the Trusted Computing Group (see www.trustedcomputinggroup.org). Note. Never disassemble the HDA and do not attempt to service items in the sealed enclosure (heads, media, actuator, etc.) as this requires special facilities. The drive does not contain user-replaceable parts. Opening the HDA for any reason voids your warranty. Cheetah 15K.7 FC drives use a dedicated landing zone at the innermost radius of the media to eliminate the possibility of destroying or degrading data by landing in the data zone. The heads automatically go to the landing zone when power is removed from the drive. An automatic shipping lock prevents potential damage to the heads and discs that results from movement during shipping and handling. The shipping lock disengages and the head load process begins when power is applied to the drive. The drives also use a high-performance actuator assembly with a low-inertia, balanced, patented, straight arm design that provides excellent performance with minimal power dissipation. 6 Cheetah 15K.7 FC Product Manual, Rev.

General description

Cheetah 15K.7 FC drives provide high performance, high capacity data storage for a variety of systems includ-

ing engineering workstations, network servers, mainframes, and supercomputers. Cheetah 15K.7 FC drives

support 4-Gbit Fibre Channel.

Cheetah 15K.7 FC drives support the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) and SCSI Fibre Channel Proto-

col as described in the ANSI specifications, this document, and the

Fibre Channel Interface Manual

which

describes the general interface characteristics of this drive. Cheetah 15K.7 FC drives are classified as intelli-

gent peripherals and provide level 2 conformance (highest level) with the ANSI SCSI-1 standard.

Cheetah 15K.7 FC SED models have provisions for “Security of Data at Rest” based on the standards defined

by the Trusted Computing Group (see www.trustedcomputinggroup.org).

Note.

Never disassemble the HDA and do not attempt to service items in the sealed enclosure (heads,

media, actuator, etc.) as this requires special facilities. The drive does not contain user-replaceable

parts. Opening the HDA for any reason voids your warranty.

Cheetah 15K.7 FC drives use a dedicated landing zone at the innermost radius of the media to eliminate the

possibility of destroying or degrading data by landing in the data zone. The heads automatically go to the land-

ing zone when power is removed from the drive.

An automatic shipping lock prevents potential damage to the heads and discs that results from movement dur-

ing shipping and handling. The shipping lock disengages and the head load process begins when power is

applied to the drive.

The drives also use a high-performance actuator assembly with a low-inertia, balanced, patented, straight arm

design that provides excellent performance with minimal power dissipation.
