Electrostatic discharge protection  
Caution. Removal of circuit boards by personnel not  
performing depot repair will damage com-  
ponents and may void the warranty.  
All drive electronic assemblies are sensitive to static  
electricity, due to the electrostatically sensitive de-  
vices used within the drive circuitry. Although some  
devices such as metal-oxide semiconductors are ex-  
tremely sensitive, all semiconductors, aswell as some  
resistors and capacitors, may be damaged or de-  
graded by exposure to static electricity.  
Electrostatic damage to electronic devices may be  
caused by thedirect discharge of a charged conductor  
or by exposure to the static fields surrounding charged  
objects. To avoid damaging drive electronic assem-  
blies, observe the following precautions when installing  
or servicing the drive:

andthedriveelectronicsmustallbegroundedtoavoid  
potentially damaging static discharges.  
• Turn off the power before removing or installing the  
DC power cable.  
• Do not remove any circuit boards from the drive.  
• Never use an ohmmeter on any circuit boards.  
• When installing the drive on a carrier or tray, dis-  
charge the carrier or tray prior to inserting it into the  
system.

The procedures in this manual and labels on the unit  
contain warnings and cautions that must be carefully  
read and followed to minimize or eliminate the risk of  
personal injury. The warnings point out conditions or  
practices that may endanger you or others. The cau-  
tions point out conditions or practices that may damage  
the unit, possibly making it unsafe for use.  
These warnings and cautions are not exhaustive. We  
cannot possibly know, evaluate, and advise you of all  
the ways in which maintenance might be performed or  
the possible risk of each technique. Consequently, we  
have not completed any such broad evaluation. If you  
use a non-approved procedure or tool, first ensure that  
the method you choose will not risk either your safety or  
unit performance.  
Always observe the following warnings and precau-  
tions:  
• Perform all maintenance by following the procedures  
in this manual.  
• Follow all cautions and warnings in the procedures.  
• Use sound safety practices when operating or repair-  
ing the unit.

• Wearsafetyshoeswhenremovingorreplacingheavy  
parts.  
• Ensure that the internal temperature of the rack or  
cabinet does not exceed the limits defined for the  
drive when the drive is mounted in an equipment rack  
or cabinet. When units are stacked vertically, pay  
attention to the top where temperatures are usually  
highest.  
• Follow the precautions listed above in “Electrostatic  
discharge protection.”  
• Do not remove any circuit boards from the drive  
chassis. Return the entire drive for depot repair if any  
circuit board is defective. Removal of circuit boards  
by personnel not performing depot repair will damage  
components and may void the warranty.  
• Do not remove the head and disc assembly (HDA)  
from the drive chassis. Return the entire drive for  
depot repair if the HDA is defective.  
• Do not attempt to disassemble the HDA. It is not field  
repairable. If the sealed HDA is opened by personnel  
not performing depot repair, this will damage compo-  
nents and void the warranty.  
As a component, this drive is designed to be installed  
and operated in accordance with UL1950, IEC950,  
EN60950, CSA C22.2 No. 950-M89, and VDE0805.

Seagate takes all reasonable steps to ensure that its  
products are certifiable to currently accepted stan-  
dards. Typical applications of these disc drives include  
customer packaging and subsystem design. Safety  
agencies conditionally certify component assemblies,  
such asthe Barracuda disc drive, based on their final  
acceptability in the end-use product. The subsystem  
designers are responsible for meeting these condi-  
tions of acceptability in obtaining safety/regulatory  
agency compliance in their end-use products and for  
certifying where required by law. A necessary part of  
meeting safety requirements is the provision for  
overcurrent protection on drive SELV supply volt-  
ages.  
This unit is a component part and as such is not meant  
to comply with FCC or similar national requirements as  
a stand-alone unit. Engineering radiated emissions  
test results are available through the Seagate Safety  
Department to assist the subsystem designer.

neous +12V current peaks will exceed these values.  
12A –10% tolerance is permissible during initial start of  
spindle and must return to ±5% before 7,200 RPM is  
reached. The ±5% must be maintained after the drive  
signifiesthatitspower-upsequencehasbeencompleted  
and that the drive is able to accept selection by the host  
initiator.  
13See the +12V current profile in the Barracuda 4 Product  
Manual (publication number 83328880).  
14This condition occurs when the Motor Start Option is  
enabled and the drive has not yet received a Start Motor  
command.  
15See “Conducted noise immunity” in the Barracuda 4  
Product Manual. Specified voltage tolerance is inclusive  
of ripple, noise, and transient response.  
16At power-up, the motor current regulator limits the 12V  
current to an average value of less than 2.18A, although  
instantaneouspeaksmayexceedthisvalue.Thesepeaks  
should measure 5 msec duration or less.  
17Minimum current loading for each supply voltage is not  
less than 3% of the maximum operating current shown.

SCSI ID jumpers  
Each device on the SCSI chain must have a unique  
SCSI ID. The host system’s SCSI controller usually  
uses the highest-numbered ID available; therefore the  
lower-numbered SCSI IDs are normally used for other  
SCSI devices such as this Barracuda disc drive.  
Most Barracuda disc drives are factory set with the  
SCSI ID set at 0. To change the SCSI ID, refer to the  
appropriate drive section for your model.  
Note. Most SCSI controllers (host adapters) allow you  
toskipaSCSIID.Forexample,youcanhaveID0,  
ID1, and ID3 (skipping ID2). Other controllers do  
not allow this; refer to your system or controller  
user’s manual for details about its requirements  
for proper SCSI device installation.  
After completing the installation process, ifthe drive’s  
LED does not show on/off activity when the host is  
trying to communicatewith the drive, a duplicate SCSI  
ID may be the problem. If this is the case, change the  
ID so that each device on the SCSI chain has its own  
unique ID. Also check your system or controller user’s  
manualtoensurethat you havenot violatedits SCSIID  
numbering recommendations.

Drive termination  
If you are installing the drive in a system that has other  
SCSI devices installed, terminate only the end devices  
on the SCSI chain. A SCSI “device” is any disc drive,  
scanner, tape backup unit, or other piece of hardware  
connected to your system using the SCSI bus.  
ThetopexampleinFigure4showsaninternalharddisc  
at one end of the SCSI bus with the SCSI controller at  
the other end (both are terminated). The bottom ex-  
ample shows two additional SCSI devices connected  
externally—this means the SCSI controller is no longer  
on the end of the SCSI chain and should not be termi-  
nated.  
For informationabouthowtoterminateyourdrive, refer

Terminator power  
You usually will not need to changethisoption and can  
normally leave the drive configured as it was shipped  
from the factory. For information about how to change  
the terminator power option on your drive, refer to the  
appropriate drive-specific section.  
Synchronizing spindles (optional)  
If you are installing two or more Barracuda drives, you  
may synchronize their spindles to reduce the latency  
associated with switching from one drive to another.  
Spindle sync cables are used to connect the drives.  
After connecting each drive with spindle sync cables,  
designateamasterspindlesyncreferencesource. This  
master source is usually a disc drive located on the  
sameSCSIbusastheotherdrivesyouwanttosynchro-  
nize with. To designate a drive as the master, use SCSI  
interfacecommands.RefertotheBarracuda 4 Product  
Manual for information about using these commands.  
For information about how to synchronize the spindles  
for your drive, refer to the appropriate drive-specific  
section.  
Other applicable jumper options  
Barracuda 4 drives are designed for use in a variety of  
systems. Someinstallationsmayrequireyoutochange  
one or more of the other jumpers to meet specific

system requirements; however, in most cases, you will  
not need to change any of these jumpers for normal  
drive operation.  
Providing adequate cooling  
Theenclosuredesignmustensureadequatecoolingfor  
the drive. The maximum ambient temperature is 50oC.  
The drive’s product manual (83328880) describes how  
to evaluate the air-flow design. The evaluation consists  
of ensuring that the case temperature of certain critical  
components remains within acceptable limits during  
drive operation.  
We recommend orienting the drive or directing the air  
flow in a way that creates the least amount of air-flow  
resistance while providing air flow above the circuit  
boards and around the head and disc assembly (HDA).  
Also, choose the shortest possible path between the air  
inlet and exit. This minimizes the distance traveled by  
air that is heated by the drive and by other nearby heat  
sources.  
Figure 5 shows two design approaches with one or  
more fans used to generate air flow. The air-flow pat-  
terns can be created by the fans either pushing or  
drawing air. The overall flow pattern can be directed  
from front to back, back to front, or side to side.

Mounting the drive and connecting cables  
Note. ThismountingproceduredoesnotapplytoWCor  
DC model drives. To mount a WC or DC drive,  
plug the drive into the system's single connector  
attachment (SCA) position on the system's back  
panel.  
Do not touch the connector pins or any components on  
the control board without observing static-discharge  
precautions. Always handle the drive by the frame only.  
The drive may be mounted in any orientation (horizon-  
tally, vertically, andanycombinationthereof);however,  
you must ensure that the drive receives adequate air  
flow for cooling.  
1. Mount the drive to the host system’s chassis using  
four 6-32 UNC screws. Two mounting holes are in  
each side of the drive and there are four mounting  
holes in the bottom of the drive. See Figures 6, 7 or 8.  
The maximum length that the screws should ex-  
tend into the chassis mounting holes is 0.15 inch  
(3.81 mm), measured from the outer surface of the  
chassis. Tighten the screws down evenly. Do not  
over-tighten or force the screw if it does not seem to  
screw in easily, because this means the threads are  
not properly aligned. In this case, back the screw out  
and try again.

4. Connect the 50-pin SCSI cable into the drive’s SCSI  
connector (shown earlier in Figures 1, 2 and 3). Take  
care not to stretch or crimp this cable, and do not  
block the system’s cooling air flow with the cable.  
The drive receives DC power through a 4-pin con-  
nector mounted next to the SCSI connector. The  
output of a power supply must meet SELV (safety  
extra low voltage) as defined in IEC 950. Figure 9  
provides the pin information for the DC power con-  
nector. To connect the DC power cable to the drive,  
simply insert the cable end into the drive’s DC power  
connector.

mounted the drive is connected directly to the  
HDA and PCB without electrically isolating shock  
mounts. Maximizing the conductive contact area  
between HDA ground and system ground may  
reduce radiated emissions.  
If you do not want the system chassis to be  
connected to the HDA/PCB ground, you must  
provide a nonconductive (electrically isolating)  
method of mounting the drive in the host system.  
This may increase radiated emissions and is the  
system designer’s responsibility.

Formatting the drive  
Warning. Formatting a drive erases all user data. Be  
sure you understand this principle before  
formatting any hard disc drive.  
It is not necessary to format a drive that  
has been previously used to store data, un-  
less your intention is to erase all user data.  
1. Turn on DC power.  
2. Boot the system from a system floppy disc or from a  
previously installed hard disc drive if there is one.  
3. Format the drive. The Barracuda 4 disc drive is  
designed to operate with a variety of operating sys-  
tems. Your system or SCSI controller manuals have  
informationaboutformattingandsettingupthedrive.

Motor Start option (MTR)  
Enable motor start. The drive waits for  
the Start Unit command from the host  
before starting the spindle motor.  
Disable motor start (default). The drive  
starts according to the Delay Motor  
Start option setting as described below.  
Delay Motor Start option (DMS)  
(valid only if the Motor Start  
jumper is not connected)  
Motor start delay equal to the SCSI ID  
multiplied by 10 seconds plus 3 seconds.  
For example, if the SCSI ID = 2, the drive  
starts in 23 seconds ((2x10)+3 = 23).  
Disable the delay motor start option  
(default).

Setting the SCSI ID jumpers  
The SCSI ID for WC and DC drives is normally set over  
the SCSI bus by the host system using connector  
contacts 39 (ID0), 40 (ID2), 79 (ID1), and 80 (ID3).  
Systems designers may, optionally, install a remote  
operator panel connection to set the SCSI ID. Figure 21  
illustrates the SCSI ID pins used for this purpose.  
Terminating the drive  
ST15150WC and ST15150DC drives do not have inter-  
nal terminators or any other way of adding internal  
terminationtothedrive. Youmustprovidesingle-ended  
external active termination (ANSI SCSI-2 Alternative 2)  
to these drives when termination is required.  
Synchronizing spindles  
Spindle synchronization for WC and DC drives is nor-  
mallyhandledontheSCSIbusbythehostsystemusing  
connector contact 37 for the spindle sync reference  
signal.Systemdesignersmay,optionally,installaspindle  
sync cable using pin 6 on the J4 connector to provide  
+SSREF (see Figure 21).
