    CHAPTER 1 General Description Standard Features Hardware Structure System Configuration This chapter describes the feature and configuration of the hard disk drives (HDD). The HDD are high performance large capacity 3.5" fixed disk drives with an embedded Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controller.
  • Page 18 The HDD has two pairs of driver and receiver set (PHY) for the SAS to support dual SAS port connection. On MAU3147RC, MAU3073RC, and MAU3036RC, Primary and Secondary Ports on SAS plug connector (2 physical links plus power connections) are used for SAS port connection.
  • Page 19: 1.1 Standard Features

    1.1 Standard Features Cache feature After executing the READ command, the HDD reads automatically and stores (prefetches) the subsequent data blocks into the data buffer (Read-ahead caching). The high speed sequential data access can be achieved by transferring the data from the data buffer without reaccessing the disk in case the subsequent command requests the prefetched data blocks.
  • Page 20 General Description Error rate increase The drive format at factory shipment is generally 512 bytes. The recoverable Error of the drive might increase when the format would be modified from 512 bytes to the following values: 516 bytes, 520 bytes, 524 bytes, 528 bytes. The recoverable Error referred here is sense data (1-13-xx).
  • Page 21: Hardware Structure

    1.1 Standard Features (20) Microcode downloading The HDD implements the microcode download feature. This feature achieves easy maintainability of the HDD and function enhancing. Hardware Structure The HDD is composed of the disks, heads, and spindle motor mounted disk enclosure (DE) with actuator as well as read/write pre-amp with the printed circuit assembly (PCA) of the controller.
  • Page 22: System Configuration

    General Description System Configuration For the Serial Attached SCSI, the ANSI standard defines Point-to-Point technology. Figure 1.1 and Figure 1.2 give examples of the SAS system configuration. Figure 1.1 Example of SAS system configuration (Dual port internal cabled environment) Figure 1.2 Example of SAS system configuration (Dual port internal backplane environment) Port addressing Every device connected with the SAS protocol has a unique address (SAS address).

  • Page 30: Figure 3.1 Cylinder Configuration

    Data Format Note: Spare sectors on the last track in each cylinder are not necessarily placed at the end of the track because of a track skew or a cylinder skew. (Details are explained in Subsection 3.1.3) Figure 3.1 Cylinder configuration Apart from the above logical configuration, the HDD intends to increase the storage capacity by dividing all cylinders into several zones and changing a recording density of each zone.
  • Page 31 3.1 Data Space User space The user space is a storage area for user data. The data format on the user space (the length of data block and the number of data blocks) can be specified with the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED command.
  • Page 32: Alternate Spare Area

    Data Format 3.1.2 Alternate spare area The alternate spare area consists of the last track of each cell in the user space and an alternate cylinder allocated to the last cylinder of each zone. The spare area in each cell is placed at the end of the last track as shown in Figure 3.2. These spare sectors are located in the end of the track logically, not necessarily located at the end physically because of track skew or cylinder skew.
  • Page 33: Track Format

    3.1 Data Space 3.1.3 Track format Physical sector allocation Figure 3.4 shows the allocation of the physical sectors in a track. The length in bytes of each physical sector and the number of sectors per track vary depending on the logical data block length. The unused area (G4) exists at the end of the track in formats with most logical data block lengths.
  • Page 34: Sector Format

    Data Format Track skew Head Track skew Head skew Head Leading logical sector in head p+1 Figure 3.5 Track skew/head skew The number of physical sectors (track skew factor and head skew factor) corresponding to the skew time varies depending on the logical data block length because the track skew and the head skew are managed for individual sectors.
  • Page 35 3.1 Data Space Each sector on the track consists of the following fields: Gaps (G1, G2, G3) No pattern is written on the gap field. PLO Sync In this field, pattern X'00' is written. Sync Mark (SM1, SM2) In this field, special pattern is written. This special pattern indicates the beginning of the data field. Data field (DATA1-DATA4) User data is stored in the data field of the sector.

    3.2 Logical Data Block Addressing Block address of user space The logical data block address number is consecutively assigned to all of the data blocks in the user space starting with 0 to the first data block. The HDD treats sector 0, track 0, cylinder 0 as the first logical data block. The data block is allocated in ascending order of addresses in the following sequence (refer to Figure 3.5): 1) Logical data blocks are assigned in ascending order of sector number in the same track.
  • Page 38: Defect Management

    Data Format Defect Management 3.3.1 Defect list Information of the defect location on the disk is managed by the defect list. The following are defect lists which the HDD manages. • P list (Primary defect list): This list consists of defect location information available at the disk drive shipment and is recorded in a system space.
  • Page 39: Figure 3.7 Alternate Block Allocation By Format Unit Command

    3.3 Defect Management Alternate block allocation during FORMAT UNIT command execution When the FORMAT UNIT command is specified, the allocation of the alternate block to those defective sectors included in the specified lists (P, G, or D) is continued until all spare sectors in the same cell are used up.
  • Page 40: Figure 3.8 Alternate Block Allocation By Reassign Blocks

    Data Format If above errors are detected during FORMAT UNIT command, the HDD allocates the alternate block(s) to the defective data blocks. Reassign procedure itself is the same as one in REASSIGN BLOCKS command. Certification is permitted when DCRT flag is cleared (DCRT flag=0) in FORMAT UNIT command.
  • Page 41 3.3 Defect Management Automatic alternate block allocation • Automatic alternate block allocation at read operation If the ARRE flag in the MODE SELECT parameter permits the automatic alternate block allocation, the HDD automatically executes the alternate block allocation and data duplication on the defective data block detected during the READ or READ EXTENDED command.
