Unless otherwise noted, all specifications are measured under ambient conditions, at 25°C, and nominal power. For convenience, the phrases the drive and this drive are used throughout this manual to indicate the ST317221A, ST3130210A, ST38410A and the ST34313A. 1.1 Formatted capacity Drive Model Guaranteed Mbytes...
U8 Family Product Manual, Rev. A • Average seek time is a true statistical random average of at least 5,000 measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead. • Full-stroke seek time is one-half the time needed to seek from the first data cylinder to the maximum data cylinder and back to the first data cylinder.

U8 Family Product Manual, Rev. A • Seek Mode During seek mode, the read/write actuator arm moves toward a specific position on the disc surface and does not execute a read or write operation. Servo electronics are active. Seek mode power rep- resents the worst-case power consumption, using only random seeks with read or write latency time.

U8 Family Product Manual, Rev. A 2.0 Configuring and mounting the drive This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive. 2.1 Handling and static-discharge precautions After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to potential handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazards.
U8 Family Product Manual, Rev. A 2.2 Jumper settings 2.2.1 Master/slave configuration The options jumper block shown in Figure 2 is used to configure the drive for operation. It is the 6-pin dual header between the interface connector and the power connector. Use the following settings to configure the drive as a master or a slave.
U8 Family Product Manual, Rev. A 2.2.2 Cable-select option Computers that use cable-select determine the master and slave drives by selecting or deselecting pin 28, CSEL, on the interface bus. Master and slave drives are determined by their physical position on the cable. To enable cable select, set a jumper on pins 5 and 6 as shown in Figure 2.
U8 Family Product Manual, Rev. A 3.0 ATA interface These drives use the industry-standard ATA task file interface that supports 16-bit data transfers. It supports ATA programmed input/output (PIO) modes 0–4; multiword DMA modes 0–2, and Ultra DMA modes 0–4. The drive also supports the use of the IORDY signal to provide reliable high-speed data transfers.
