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:
2
Barracuda 4 Installation Guide, Rev. E
• Ground yourself to the drive whenever the drive
electronics are or will be exposed. Connect yourself
to ground with a wrist strap (Seagate part number
12263496).Connectionmaybemadetoanygrounded
metalassembly.Asageneralrule,rememberthatyou
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.
Important safety information and precautions
Caution. Use forced-air ventilation when bench-test-
ing the drive to ensure proper cooling of
drive components.
Use proper safety and repair techniques for safe, reli-
able operation of this unit. Service should be done only
byqualifiedpersons. Werecommendtheproceduresin
this manual as effective ways of servicing the unit.
Some procedures require the use of special tools. For
proper maintenance and safety, you must use these
tools as recommended.

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.

• 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.

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

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

• Formatting the drive
20
Barracuda 4 Installation Guide, Rev. E
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.
Barracuda 4 Installation Guide, Rev. E
21
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.

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
Barracuda 4 Installation Guide, Rev. E
23
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.

3. Verify that you have correctly installed SCSI ID jump-

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.

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
