1.0 Scope This manual describes Seagate® SavvioTM disc drives. Savvio SCSI drives support the small computer system interface (SCSI) as described in the ANSI SCSI SPI-3 interface specifications to the extent described in this manual. The SCSI Interface Product Manual (part number 75789509) describes general SCSI interface characteristics of this and other families of Seagate drives. Figure 1. Savvio SCSI family drive Savvio SCSI Product Manual, Rev. D 1
