General description Barracuda 4FC disc drives are high-speed, random- access digital-data storage devices designed to be used within a Fibre Channel host system. The drive is a component for installation in an enclosure designed for the drive. The disc drive must receive ade- quate cooling (refer to “Providing adequate cooling”) and it must be sufficiently grounded and shielded from emis- sions. The Barracuda ...

Installing the ST15150FC drive To install a ST15150FC drive, simply plug the drive directly into your system’s Fibre Channel backpanel 40- pin single connector attachment (FC-SCA). There are no jumpers or terminators on the drive, and power is supplied through the connector. Table 1 on page 22 lists the pin descriptions of the 40-pin FC-SCA. Read the following general information topics to ensure your drive is ...

15 This minimizes the distance traveled by air that is heated by the drive and by other nearby heat sources. Figure 2 shows one design approach with one or more fans used to generate air flow. The air-flow pattern can be created by the fans either pushing or drawing air. The overall flow pattern must be directed from side to side in most FC-SCA systems.

Abbildung 2 zeigt zwei Konstruktionsmöglichkeiten, bei denen ein oder mehrere Lüfter den Luftstrom erzeugen. Der Luftstromverlauf wird durch die Lüfter gesteuert, die entweder Luft einblasen oder abziehen. Generell kann der Luftstrom entweder von vorne nach hinten oder von hinten nach vorne verlaufen.

The maximum length that the screws should extend into the chassis mounting holes is 0.15 inch (3.81 mm), mea- sured 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. Installation des Laufwerkes Beachten Sie beim Handhaben und Anfa ...
