Cheetah 15K.3 FC Product Manual, Rev. D 5 3.0 General description Cheetah 15K.3 FC drives combine giant magnetoresistive (GMR) heads, partial response/maximum likelihood (PRML) read channel electronics, embedded servo technology, and a Fibre Channel interface to provide high performance, high capacity data storage for a variety of systems including engineering workstations, network servers, mainframes, and supercomputers. Cheetah 15K.3 FC drives also support 2-Gbit Fibre Channel which can transfer data at up to 200 Mbytes per second and 400 Mbytes per second in dual-loop configurations. Cheetah 15K.3 FC drives are random access storage devices designed to 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 (part number 77767496) which describes the general interface characteristics of this drive. Cheetah 15K.3 FC drives are classified as intelligent peripherals and provide level 2 conformance (highest level) with the ANSI SCSI-1 standard. The head and disc assembly (HDA) is sealed at the factory. Air recirculates within the HDA through a nonreplaceable filter to maintain a contamination-free HDA environment. 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.3 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. Cheetah 15K.3 FC drives decode track 0 location data from the servo data embedded on each surface to eliminate mechanical transducer adjustments and related reliability concerns. 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.

General description

Cheetah 15K.3 FC drives combine giant magnetoresistive (GMR) heads, partial response/maximum likelihood

(PRML) read channel electronics, embedded servo technology, and a Fibre Channel interface to provide high

performance, high capacity data storage for a variety of systems including engineering workstations, network

servers, mainframes, and supercomputers. Cheetah 15K.3 FC drives also support 2-Gbit Fibre Channel which

can transfer data at up to 200 Mbytes per second and 400 Mbytes per second in dual-loop configurations.

Cheetah 15K.3 FC drives are random access storage devices designed to support the Fibre Channel Arbi-

trated Loop (FC-AL) and SCSI Fibre Channel Protocol as described in the ANSI specifications, this document,

and the

Fibre Channel Interface Manual

(part number 77767496) which describes the general interface char-

acteristics of this drive. Cheetah 15K.3 FC drives are classified as intelligent peripherals and provide level 2

conformance (highest level) with the ANSI SCSI-1 standard.

The head and disc assembly (HDA) is sealed at the factory. Air recirculates within the HDA through a non-

replaceable filter to maintain a contamination-free HDA environment.

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

tor, 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.3 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.

Cheetah 15K.3 FC drives decode track 0 location data from the servo data embedded on each surface to elim-

inate mechanical transducer adjustments and related reliability concerns.

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.
