Synchronous data transfer
9.5.1
Synchronous data transfer periods supported
The data transfer period to be used by the drive and the initiator is established by an exchange of messages
during the Message Phase of operation. See the section on message protocol in the
SCSI Interface Product
Manual,
part number 75789509. In the following tables, M is the synchronous period value (in the transfer rate
negotiation message) that represents the associated transfer period and transfer rate values.
Table 13 lists the synchronous data transfer periods supported by the drive in DT DATA phase. DT DATA phase
is only allowed when using the LVD interface.
Table 13:
Synchronous DT DATA transfer periods
Table 14 lists the synchronous data transfer periods supported by the drive in ST DATA phase. ST DATA phase
is allowed with either LVD or SE interface except as noted.

Synchronous ST DATA transfer periods
9.5.2
REQ/ACK offset
Cheetah X15 36LP family drives support REQ/ACK offset values from 7 to 63 (3Fh). Offsets of 1 through 6 are
negotiated to 0 (asynchronous transfer).
9.6
Physical interface
This section describes the connectors, cables, signals, terminators and bus timing of the DC and SCSI I/O
interface. See Section 9.8 and Section 9.9 for additional terminator information.
Figures 18 and 19 show the locations of the DC power connector, SCSI interface connector, drive select head-
ers, and option select headers.
Details of the physical, electrical and logical characteristics are given in sections following, while the SCSI
operational aspects of Seagate drive interfaces are given in the
SCSI Interface Product Manual
