 15K.6 FC (Fibre Channel) disc drives.

Cheetah 15K.6 FC drives support the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop and SCSI Fibre Channel Protocol specifi-
cations to the extent described in this manual. The Fibre Channel Interface Manual (part number 100293070) 
describes the general Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop characteristics of this and other Seagate Fibre Channel 
drives. The Full Disc Encryption (FDE) Reference Manual, part number 100515636 (available Fall 2008) 
describes the interface, general operation and security features available on FDE drives.

From this point on in this product manual, the reference to Cheetah 15K.6 FC models is referred to as “the 
drive” unless references to individuals models are necessary.

Unless otherwise stated, the information in this manual applies to models that incorporate FDE and models 
that do not incorporate FDE.
