Synchronous data transfer
9.5.1
Synchronous data transfer periods supported
Table 11 and Section 9.5.2 list Synchronous Data transfer periods supported by the drive. 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 Manual P/N 77738479.

9.5.2
REQ/ACK offset
The maximum value supported by the Barracuda 4LP family drives for REQ/ACK offset is 15 (0Fh).

Physical interface
Figure 9a shows the locations of the drive physical interface components for the N drives. Shown are the loca-
tions of the DC power connector, the SCSI interface connector, the I/O line terminators, and the drive select
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 Seagate SCSI Interface Product Manual, P/N
77738479.
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.
9.6.1
DC cable and connector
With the exception of the “WC” and “DC” drives, the drive receives DC power through a 4 pin connector (see
Figure 9a for pin assignment) mounted at the rear of the main PCB. Recommended part numbers of the mating
connector are listed below, but equivalent parts may be used.
Models “WC” and “DC” receive power through the 80 pin I/O connector. See Tables 13d and 13e.
