  • Page 16 ST43401N/ND and ST43402ND Reference Manual, Rev. C Guidelines for proper air flow Your enclosure design must ensure adequate cooling for the drive. We recommend orienting the drive or directing the air flow in a way that creates the least amount of air-flow resistance while providing air flow above the circuit boards and around the head and disc assembly (HDA).

  • Page 18 ST43401N/ND and ST43402ND Reference Manual, Rev. C To evaluate the air-flow design, place the drive in its final mechanical position and perform random read and write operations. After the temperatures stabilize, measure the surface (case) temperatures of the components listed in the appropriate table below.

    ST43401N/ND and ST43402ND Reference Manual, Rev. C Section 3. Interface functions This section provides an overview of the small computer system interface (SCSI) as it is used in the Elite drive. It is beyond the scope of this manual to provide a detailed description of all the features, capabilities, variations, and protocol of SCSI-2.

DB(15) is the most- significant bit and has the highest priority dur- ing the Arbitration phase.
  • Page 31 ST43401N/ND and ST43402ND Reference Manual, Rev. C I/O signal processing The following paragraphs describe the basic SCSI bus communication process. They describe the bus phases, a typical command sequence, command set, and message codes. The Request Sense command and the Receive Diagnostic Results command provide information to the initiator about drive functions.

  • Page 33 ST43401N/ND and ST43402ND Reference Manual, Rev. C SCSI command execution Figure 13 illustrates the basic flow of a command sequence. The sequence illustrated cannot and does not represent all variations. Refer to the SCSI Interface Specification for the Elite Product Family (document 64721702) for command descriptions, execution details, and timing constraints.
  • Page 34 ST43401N/ND and ST43402ND Reference Manual, Rev. C The selected device responds to the initiator by entering the Message Out phase if the initiator has Attention asserted. In this phase, the target requests that the initiator send messages to it. The Message, Control/ Data, and Input/Output lines are used in combinations to indicate the various information transfer phases.
  • Page 35 ST43401N/ND and ST43402ND Reference Manual, Rev. C At this point, the Message In phase is entered with a Disconnect message code. Following the disconnect, the bus is in the Bus Free phase in preparation for the Arbitration and Reselection phases. After Reselection, the process continues with the Message In and Data In phases previously described.
