Preface  
This manual contains information for users of the Seagate®  
Barracuda 4LP SCSI disc drives. It provides support services,  
performance specifications, and initial setup information. Addi-  
tional information is available in the Barracuda 4LP Product  
Manual (part number 77767491). Contact your Seagate sales  
representative if you need to order this publication.  
Electrostatic discharge protection  
Caution. Removal of circuit boards by personnel not perform-  
ing depot repair will damage components and may  
void the warranty.  
All drive electronic assemblies are sensitive to static electricity,  
due to the electrostatically sensitive devices used within the  
drive circuitry. Although some devices such as metal-oxide semi-  
conductors are extremely sensitive, all semiconductors, as well  
as some resistors and capacitors, may be damaged or degraded  
by exposure to static electricity.  
Electrostatic damage to electronic devices may be caused by  
the direct discharge of a charged conductor or by exposure to  
the static fields surrounding charged objects. To avoid damaging  
drive electronic assemblies, observe the following precautions  
when installing or servicing the drive:  
• 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). Connection may be  
made to any grounded metal assembly. As a general rule,  
remember that you and the drive electronics must all be  
grounded to avoid 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, discharge the  
carrier or tray prior to inserting it into the system.  
Important safety information and precautions  
Caution. Use forced-air ventilation when bench-testing the  
drive to ensure proper cooling of drive components.  
Use proper safety techniques for safe, reliable operation of this  
unit.  
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 oth-  
ers. The cautions point out conditions or practices that may dam-  
age the unit, possibly making it unsafe for use.  
Always observe the following warnings and precautions:  
• Follow all cautions and warnings in the procedures.  
• Use sound safety practices when operating, installing, or  
removing the unit.  
• Use caution when troubleshooting a unit that has voltages  
present. Turn off power to the unit before removing it.  
• 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 special attention to the top where tem-  
peratures are usually highest.  
• Follow the precautions listed above in “Electrostatic discharge  
protection.”  
• Do not remove any circuit boards from the drive. 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. Return the entire drive for depot repair if the HDA is  
defective.  
• Do not attempt to disassemble the HDA. It is not field repair-  
able. If the sealed HDA is opened by personnel not performing  
depot repair, this will damage components and void the  
warranty.  
As a component, this drive is designed to be installed and oper-  
ated in accordance with UL1950, EN60950, CSA C22.2 950-  
M89, and VDE0805.  
Seagate takes all reasonable steps to ensure that its products  
are certifiable to currently accepted standards. Typical applica-  
tions of these disc drives include customer packaging and sub-  
system design. Safety agencies conditionally certify component  
assemblies, such as the Barracuda disc drive, based on their  
final acceptability in the end-use product. The subsystem  
designers are responsible for meeting these conditions 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 voltages.

Seagate ist ständig bemüht, die Zulassungsfähigkeit von  
Seagate-Produkten im Rahmen der gegenwärtig geltenden  
Standards zu gewährleisten. Zu den typischen Anwendungen  
dieser Festplattenwerke zählen Systemeinbau durch den  
Kunden und die Konstruktion von Untersystemen. Sicherheits-  
behörden gewähren eine bedingte Zulassung für Komponenten  
wie das Barracuda-Festplattenlaufwerk vorbehaltlich der  
endgültigen Zulasssung im Endprodukt. Designer von Untersys-  
temen sind dafür verantwortlich, die Voraussetzungen für die  
Einhaltung sicherheits- oder aufsichtsbehördlicher Vorschriften  
in ihren Endprodukten und - falls gesetzlich vorgeschrieben - für  
die Zulassung zu schaffen. Eine Grundvoraussetzung zur Ein-  
haltung der Sicherheitsanforderungen ist die Bereitstellung  
eines Überlastschutzes für die SELV-Versorgungsspannungen  
des Laufwerks.  
Dieses Gerät ist eine Baugruppe und unterliegt als solche nicht  
den Anforderungen der FCC oder ähnlicher nationaler Behörden

General description  
Barracuda 4LP SCSI disc drives are high-speed, random-access  
digital-data storage devices.  
The drive is a component for installation in an enclosure  
designed for the drive. This is often a rack within the system or  
an external enclosure designed to house one or more disc drives  
or other peripheral units. In either case, the disc drive must  
receive adequate cooling (refer to “Providing adequate cooling”)  
and it must be sufficiently grounded and shielded from emis-  
sions. The Barracuda 4LP Product Manual (part number  
77767491) contains guidelines for a properly designed  
enclosure.

General information  
The following general information topics are discussed:  
• SCSI ID jumpers  
• Drive termination  
Terminator power  
• Interface drivers and data path width notes  
• Other applicable jumper options  
• Providing adequate cooling  
• Mounting the drive and connecting cables1  
• Formatting the drive  
1This mounting procedure does not apply to “WC” or “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.

Barracuda 4LP Installation Guide, Rev. B  
SCSI ID jumpers  
Each device on the SCSI chain must have a unique SCSI ID.  
The host system’s SCSI controller usually uses the ID that has  
the highest priority interrupt in the SCSI I/O system. This is  
always ID7. ID0 is lowest priority in an 8-bit I/O system. ID8 is  
lowest priority in a 16-bit I/O system. The lower priority SCSI IDs  
are normally used for other SCSI devices such as this Barracuda  
disc drive.  
Note. Most SCSI controllers (host adapters) allow you to skip a  
SCSI ID. For example, you can have ID0, ID1, and ID3  
(skipping ID2). Other controllers do not allow this so be  
sure to refer to your system or controller user’s manual  
for details about its requirements for proper SCSI device  
installation.  
Note. This drive is a SCAM (SCSI Configured Auto Magically)  
compliant drive. If the system into which you are installing  
this drive requires SCAM compliant drives, you do not  
need to be concerned about the drive ID jumper settings,  
as the system automatically assigns your new drive the  
ID it wants it to have. The system may or may not use the  
existing drive ID jumper settings. Setting the drive ID  
doesn’t hurt anything, but is not necessary in a SCAM  
compliant system.  
Most Barracuda disc drives are factory set with the SCSI ID set  
at 0. To change the SCSI ID, refer to the appropriate drive sec-  
tion for your model.  
If, after completing the installation process, the drive’s LED does  
not show on/off activity when the host is trying to communicate  
with the drive, a duplicate SCSI ID may be the problem. If this is  
 
Barracuda 4LP Installation Guide, Rev. B  
19  
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 manual to ensure that you have not violated its SCSI ID  
numbering recommendations.  
Drive termination  
If you are installing a Barracuda 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 sys-  
tem using the SCSI bus.  
The top example in Figure 2 shows an internal hard disc at one  
end of the SCSI bus with the SCSI controller at the other end  
(both are terminated). The bottom example shows two additional  
SCSI devices connected externally—this means the SCSI con-  
troller is no longer on the end of the SCSI chain and should not  
be terminated.  
Note. Some controllers prefer to remain terminated even if they  
are in the middle of the chain. Also, some controllers treat  
the internal and external chains as separate logical  
buses. This means you may need to terminate both the  
first and last devices on both logical buses to achieve  
proper termination. If necessary, refer to your system or  
controller documentation to see how this is handled in  
your particular system.

I/O circuits and data path widths  
• “WD” and “DC” models use differential I/O circuits. You cannot  
mix these models with single-ended models (“N,” “W,” “WC”)  
on the same SCSI bus. The circuits are incompatible with  
each other.  
• “W,” “WD,” and “WC” models have a “wide” (16-bit) SCSI data  
bus rather than the standard (non-wide) 8-bit SCSI data bus;  
however, you can use these wide drives on a standard (non-  
wide) 8-bit data bus.

Figures 3a, 3b, 3c, and 3d show typical drive connections. The  
following table lists the maximum cable lengths and number of  
devices with single-ended I/O circuits allowed on a daisy-chain  
cable for <10 and <20 M transfers/sec I/O data transfer rates.

Providing adequate cooling  
The enclosure design must ensure adequate cooling for the  
drive. The maximum ambient temperature is 50°C.  
The drive’s product manual (77767491) describes how to evalu-  
ate 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 4 shows two design approaches with one or more fans  
used to generate air flow. The air-flow patterns 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.

Kühlung des Systems  
Die Gehäusekonstruktion muß eine ausreichende Kühlung des  
Laufwerkes gewährleisten. Die Umgebungstemperatur darf  
maximal 50°C betragen.  
Die Produkthandbuch Barracuda 4LP (Dokument 77767491)  
enthalten Anweisungen zur Beurteilung der Luftstromkonstruk-  
tion. Die Beurteilung muß sicherstellen, daß sich die Gehäuse-  
temperatur bestimmter kritischer Komponenten bei  
Laufwerkbetrieb innerhalb zugelassener Grenzen hält.  
Wir empfehlen, das Laufwerk so zu orientieren oder den Luft-  
strom so zu lenken, daß der geringste Luftstromwiderstand  
erzeugt wird und gleichzeitig ein Luftstrom über den Platinen  
und um die Kopf- und Festplatteneinheit (HDA) gegeben ist.  
Wählen Sie einen möglichst kurzen Weg zwischen Lufteinlaß  
und -auslaß. Dadurch wird die Strecke, die die vom Laufwerk  
und anderen nahegelegenen Hitzequellen aufgewärmte Luft  
zurücklegt, auf ein Minimum beschränkt.  
Abbildung 4 zeigt zwei Konstruktionsmöglichkeiten, bei denen  
ein oder mehrere Lüfter den Luftstrom erzeugen. Der Luftstrom-  
verlauf wird durch die Lüfter gesteuert, die entweder Luft einbla-  
sen oder abziehen. Generell kann der Luftstrom entweder von  
vorne nach hinten oder von hinten nach vorne verlaufen.

Mounting the drive and connecting cables  
Do not touch the connector pins or any components on the con-  
trol board without observing static-discharge precautions.  
Always handle the drive by the frame only.  
The drive may be mounted in any orientation (horizontally, verti-  
cally, and any combination thereof); 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.  
The maximum length that the screws should extend 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.  
Installation des Laufwerkes  
und Anschluß der Kabel  
Beachten Sie beim Handhaben und Anfassen der Anschlußstifte  
und Komponenten die Vorsichtsmaßnahmen zur Verhinderung  
statischer Aufladung. Fassen Sie das Laufwerk nur am Rahmen  
an.  
Das Laufwerk kann in beliebiger Orientierung (horizontal, ver-  
tikal oder schräg) installiert werden; jedoch muß dafür gesorgt  
werden, daß ein ausreichender Luftstrom zur Kühlung des Lauf-  
werkes vorhanden ist.  
 
 
30  
Barracuda 4LP Installation Guide, Rev. B  
1. Befestigen Sie das Laufwerk mit vier 6-32-UNC-Schrauben  
am Gehäuse des Host-Systems. Die beiden Seiten des  
Laufwerkes sind mit jeweils zwei Befestigungslöchern  
versehen, die Unterseite des Laufwerkes weist vier weitere  
Befestigungslöcher auf.  
Gemessen von der Außenfläche des Gehäuses dürfen die  
Schrauben maximal 3,81 mm in die Befestigungslöcher des  
Gehüuses hineinragen. Die Schrauben müssen gleich-  
mäßig, jedoch nicht zu fest, angezogen werden. Wenn sich  
eine Schraube nicht ohne Widerstand einschrauben läßt,  
sind die Gewinde nicht korrekt aneinander ausgerichtet. In  
diesem Fall die Schraube nicht in das Gewindeloch  
forcieren, sondern die Schraube herausnehmen und erneut  
in das Gewindeloch einführen.  
2. Verify that all connections between the drive and the host  
system are correctly installed.  
2. Prüfen Sie, ob alle Verbindungen zwischen dem Laufwerk  
und dem Host-System korrekt hergestellt sind.  
3. Verify that you have correctly installed jumpers.  
3. Stellen Sie sicher, daß die Kennungsbrücken installiert sind.  
4. Connect the SCSI cable into the drive’s SCSI connector.  
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 connector  
mounted next to the SCSI connector. The output of a power  
supply must meet SELV (safety extra low voltage) as  
 
Barracuda 4LP Installation Guide, Rev. B  
31  
defined in IEC 950. Figure 5 provides the pin information for  
the DC power connector. To connect the DC power cable to  
the drive, simply insert the cable end into the drive’s DC  
power connector.  
4. Schließen Sie das SCSI-Kabel an den SCSI-Steckverbinder  
des Laufwerkes an. Das Kabel darf nicht gedehnt oder  
gedrückt werden und es darf den Luftstrom zur Kühlung des  
Systems nicht behindern.  
Das Laufwerk wird über einen 4-poligen, neben dem SCSI-  
Anschluß befestigten Steckverbinder mit Gleichstrom ver-  
sorgt. Der Ausgang eines Netzteils muß SELV (safety extra  
low voltage) nach IEC 950 entsprechen. Abbildung 5 zeigt  
die Steckerbelegung für den Gleichstromanschluß. Zum  
Anschluß des Gleichstromkabels an das Laufwerk das  
Kabelende in den Gleichstromanschluß des Laufwerkes  
stecken.

Note. Signal ground on the power control board (PCB) and the  
head and disc assembly (HDA) are connected together in  
this drive and you cannot separate them. The equipment  
in which you have 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.  
Hinweis:  
Die Signalerde auf der Stromregelungskarte (PCB) und  
der Kopf- und Festplatteneinheit (HDA) sind in diesem  
Laufwerk miteinander verbunden und können nicht  
getrennt werden. Das Gerät, in das Sie das Laufwerk  
eingebaut haben, ist ohne elektrisch isolierende  
Stoßdämpfer direkt an die HDA und PCB angeschlossen.  
Die elektromagnetische Strahlung kann reduziert wer-  
den, indem Sie eine möglichst große leitende Kontak-  
fläche zwischen der HDA-Erdung und der Systemerdung  
vorsehen.  
Wenn Sie das Systemgehäuse nicht an die HDA/PCB-  
Erdung anschließen wollen, müssen Sie das Laufwerk  
auf nichtleitende Weise (galvanisch isoliert) im Host-Sys-

Formatting the drive  
Warning. Formatting a drive erases all user data. Be sure that  
you understand this principle before formatting any  
hard disc drive. It is not necessary to format a drive  
that previously has been used to store data, unless  
your intention is to erase all user data.  
Note. Seagate is not responsible for lost user data.  
1. Turn on DC power.  
2. Boot the system from a system floppy disc or from a previ-  
ously installed hard disc drive if there is one.  
3. Format the disc drive. Barracuda 4LP disc drives are  
designed to operate with a variety of operating systems.  
Please refer to your system or SCSI controller manual for  
information about formatting and setting up the drive. Some  
quick desktop system notes are provided below.  
Quick reference desktop system notes  
Note. Refer to your system or utility manual for detailed instruc-  
tions)  
• DOS. Set the drive type in CMOS to “Zero,” “None,” or “No  
hard drive installed.” Use FDISK.EXE and FORMAT.EXE. Sys-  
tems that have operating system Windows 95 release 950B or  
later do not need to partition the drive.  
• Macintosh. Use a third-party drive utility (Apple’s HD Setup  
utility only works with drives having special Apple firmware).

WC/DC drives  
Setting the SCSIWIDC/jDumCpderirvses section  
The SCSI ID for “WC” and “DC” model drives is normally set  
over the SCSI bus by the host system using connector contacts  
39 (ID0), 40 (ID2), 79 (ID1), and 80 (ID3). Users need not install  
jumpers to select SCSI ID.  
Terminating the drive  
“WC” and “DC” model drives do not have internal terminators or  
any other way of adding internal termination to the drive. Exter-  
nal termination for these drives is normally supplied by the host  
equipment when termination is required.
