    Operations 6.1 Device Response to the Reset This section describes how the PDIAG- and DASP- signals responds when the power of the IDD is turned on or the IDD receives a reset or diagnostic command. 6.1.1 Response to power-on After the master device (device 0) releases its own power-on reset state, the master device shall check a DASP- signal for least 500 ms to confirm presence of a slave device (device 1).

    Operations After the slave device receives the hardware reset, the slave device shall report its presence and the result of the self-diagnostics to the master device as described below: DASP- signal: Asserted within 450 ms. PDIAG- signal: Negated within 1 ms and asserted within 30 seconds. The asserted PDIAG-signal is negated 30 seconds after it is asserted if the command is not received.
  • Page 245: Response To Software Reset

    6.1.3 Response to software reset The master device does not check the DASP- signal for a software reset. If a slave device is present, the master device checks the PDIAG- signal for up to 15 seconds to see if the slave device has completed the self-diagnosis successfully. After the slave device receives the software reset, the slave device shall report its presence and the result of the self-diagnostics to the master device as described below:...

    Operations 6.1.4 Response to diagnostic command When the master device receives an EXECUTE DEVICE DIAGNOSTIC command and the slave device is present, the master device checks the PDIAG- signal for up to 6 seconds to see if the slave device has completed the self- diagnosis successfully.
  • Page 247: Power Save

    6.2 Power Save The host can change the power consumption state of the device by issuing a power command to the device. 6.2.1 Power save mode There are five types of power consumption state of the device including active mode where all circuits are active. Active mode •...
  • Page 248 Operations Upon receipt of Idle/Idle Intermediate • (4) Standby mode In this mode, the spindle motor has stopped from the low power idle state. The device can receive commands through the interface. However if a command with disk access is issued, response time to the command under the standby mode takes longer than the active, active idle, or low power idle mode because the access to the disk medium cannot be made immediately.
  • Page 249: Power Commands

    6.2.2 Power commands The following commands are available as power commands. IDLE • IDLE IMMEDIATE • STANDBY • STANDBY IMMEDIATE • SLEEP • CHECK POWER MODE • SET FEATURES (APM setting) • 6.3 Defect Processing This device performs alternating processing where the defective sector is alternated with the spare area depending on media defect location information.
  • Page 250: Alternating Processing For Defective Sectors

    Operations 6.3.2 Alternating processing for defective sectors The following two types of technology are used for alternating processing: (1) Sector slip processing In this method, defective sectors are not used (thereby avoiding the effects of defects), and each defective sector is assigned to the next contiguous sector that is normal.
  • Page 251: Figure 6.6 Automatic Alternating Processing

    (3) Automatic alternating processing This technology assigns a defective sector to a spare sector of a spare cylinder for alternate assignment. This device performs automatic alternating processing in the event of any of the following errors. Automatic alternating processing is attempted for read error recovery by •...
  • Page 252: Read-Ahead Cache

    Operations 6.4 Read-ahead Cache Read-ahead Cache is the function for automatically reading data blocks upon completion of the read command in order to read data from disk media and save data block on a data buffer. If a subsequent command requests reading of the read-ahead data, data on the data buffer can be transferred without accessing the disk media.

    6.4.3 Using the read segment buffer Methods of using the read segment buffer are explained for following situations. 6.4.3.1 Miss-hit In this situations, the top block of read requested data is not stored at all in the data buffer. As a result, all of the read requested data is read from disk media. 1) HAP (host address pointer) and DAP (disk address pointer) are defined in the head of the segment allocated from Buffer.
  • Page 256: Sequential Hit

    Operations 6.4.3.2 Sequential hit When the read command that is targeted at a sequential address is received after execution of the read commands is completed, the read command transmits the Read requested data to the host system continuing read-ahead without newly allocating the buffer for read.
  • Page 257: Full Hit

    6.4.3.3 Full hit In this situation, all read requested data is stored in the data buffer. Transfer of the read requested data is started from the location where hit data is stored. For data that is a target of caching and remains before a full hit, the data is retained when execution of the command is completed.
  • Page 258: Write Cache

    Operations 6.5 Write Cache Write Cache is the function for reducing the command processing time by separating command control to disk media from write control to disk media. When Write Cache is permitted, the write command can be keep receiving as long as the space available for data transfers remains free on the data buffer.
  • Page 259 <Exception> If a Reset or command is received while a transfer of one sector of data is in • progress, data is not written in the sector of the media where the interruption occurred, and sectors accepted before interruption occurred is written in the medium.
  • Page 260 Operations If Write Cache is enabled, there is a possibility that data transferred from the host with the Write Cache enable command is not completely written on disk media before the normal end interrupt is issued. If an unrecoverable error occurs while multiple commands that are targets of write caching are received, the host has difficulty determining which command caused the error.
