12 Elite 9 Installation Guide, Rev. B
General description
Elite 9 SCSI disc drives are high capacity, random-
access digital-data storage devices. An Elite 9 drive is
illustrated in Figure 1. Specifications and DC power
requirements for the drive are listed in a table following
the figure.
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 suffi-
ciently grounded and shielded from emissions. The
Elite 9 Product Manual
(part number 83328860) con-
tains guidelines for a properly designed enclosure.
