Theory of Operation SCSI Command Execution to Mechanics SCSI Command Execution to Mechanics The mechanism code of the jukebox accepts high-level SCSI commands from the interface, translates these commands into servo code for the jukebox, executes the command, and reports status. When a SCSI command is received, it is translated into a series of smaller submoves in the servo code of the jukebox and then executed.

Theory of Operation SCSI Command Execution to Mechanics speed. • Saturation move: same as a position move except that a high force is expected within a given distance; however, motion is halted if force exceeds a specified threshold. Position moves are used for high-speed, unobstructed movements of a known distance.
Theory of Operation The Robotics Controller PCA The Robotics Controller PCA The robotics controller PCA contains the following major components, which are illustrated in Figure 6-2 on page 6-7: • Microprocessor: The MICROPROCESSOR is a Motorola MC68EC000 running at 12.288 MHz. This microprocessor controls all processes on the controller PCA such as servos, SCSI interface, and commands to the control panel.

Page 225
Theory of Operation Upper and Lower Interposer PCAs (Use the top portion of the diagram for the following explanation.) The single, GPIO and power connection from the controller PCA is J4. Address decode and data buffering takes addresses from the controller PCA and sends the data to proper locations and takes received data and routes the data to the proper destination.
Page 226
Theory of Operation Upper and Lower Interposer PCAs except for two signals, Req and Ack.The Ack signal comes from the host computer, is buffered on the interposer PCA, and sent to each drive individually. Req signals come from the drives and are buffered into one signal going back to the host computer.
Theory of Operation Upper and Lower Interposer PCAs Figure 6-4 Lower Interposer PCA Block Diagram The lower interposer PCA performs the same general functions of the upper interposer PCA for drives 5/6, 7/8 and 9/10. There are some functions that are not present on the lower PCA such as clear-path drivers, mailslot sensor input, front panel output, and a connection for a configuration module.
Theory of Operation Configuration Module Configuration Module The configuration module is a “key” that enables activation of the full complement of slots in the jukebox. The module is plugged into a connector on the upper interposer PCA (see #9 on Figure 5-14). All jukeboxes are shipped with a full complement of slots installed.
Theory of Operation Power Supplies Power Supplies There are two power supplies, both autoranging. • One supplies +5 volts at 15 amperes and +12 volts at 10 amperes, which powers the drives and the jukebox logic. • The other supply provides +24 volts and +42 at 4 amperes, which powers the vertical motion motor (+42 V) and the poweron sequence relay (+24 V).
Theory of Operation SCSI Interface PCA SCSI Interface PCA The SCSI interface PCA has two major functions: • Logically connect the active host SCSI bus (single-ended or differential) to the internal single-ended SCSI device bus. • Operate in a LUN mapping mode. Internally, the jukebox has a single-ended SCSI bus.
Theory of Operation SCSI Interface PCA Figure 6-7 SCSI Interface PCA The jukebox communicates to the PCA through a GPIO bus. The differential and single-ended connectors are on the top of the PCA and the single-ended bus connection to the jukebox is on the bottom. A slider switch between the two external connectors selects which type of input will be accepted.
Page 232
Theory of Operation SCSI Interface PCA the single-ended external [host] bus (default). The two large components on the PCA are the Field-Programmable Gate Array and the microprocessor. The microprocessor is an 80C52 that has flash-programmable memory on board. (There are no boot ROMs on this PCA).
Theory of Operation Logical Unit Number Mapping Capability Logical Unit Number Mapping Capability LUN means Logical Unit Number. The SCSI interface PCA enables connecting up to seven jukeboxes (theoretically) on a single SCSI bus. Also, the SCSI bus may be either single-ended or differential. Internally, the jukebox has a single-ended SCSI bus.
Theory of Operation Optical Cartridge Picker Optical Cartridge Picker A major performance parameter is the read-to-read time — the time between the reception of an “exchange” disks command to the time that reading starts on the new disk. This series of jukeboxes has a dual picker which can optimize exchange times, but taking advantage of this optimization depends on whether the application running the jukebox implements the “exchange”...
Theory of Operation Element Numbering Element Numbering Element numbers designate any location that a disk can occupy in the jukebox. Table 6-1 Element Numbering in the Jukebox Element Name Element Number Optical drives 1 to 10 Reserved 11 to 15 Dual picker 16 and 17 Reserved...
Theory of Operation Element Numbering Disk Storage Slot Numbering Sequence Figure 6-8 Element and Slot Numbering To improve access times, cartridge slot numbering starts close to the drives and expands out. The lower-numbered slots are close to the optical drives and the higher-numbered slots are farther away from the drives.
Page 237
Theory of Operation Element Numbering limited-access slots at the top. The sequence continues with 209 though 229 across the bottom — just above the limited-access slots on the bottom. Next, back up to the top to include slots 230 through 235. Finally, the numbering jumps down to the bottom to include the limited access slots 236 to 238.
Theory of Operation Element Numbering Limited Access Slots Because of physical constraints, some physical slots can have either limited access or cannot be accessed at all. At the lower limit of picker transport travel, there are 3 slots, 1 in each stack, that can only be accessed by the lower picker.

Theory of Operation Element Numbering Figure 6-12 One-Finger Grab Recovery Areas at the Top of the Stacks Warning decals next to the two top slots in the center and right-hand stacks remind you that you should never manually load disks in these slots.
Theory of Operation Optical Drive Mechanism Optical Drive Mechanism Figure 6-13 provides an overview of the optical drive mechanism. Figure 6-13 Optical Drive Functional Diagram Controller The controller is a highly-specialized integrated circuit that handles SCSI control, data buffering, and encode/decode. The data buffer function provides a buffer to match transfers to and from the host computer and the optical disk.
Theory of Operation Optical Drive Mechanism decodes the various commands and messages on the SCSI bus and instructs the drive to take appropriate action. The encode/decode function encodes and decodes data for read and write transfers. During a write function, user data is sent via the SCSI bus. The encoder converts the parallel data into an encoded serial bit stream that includes all the format and error correction features required to meet the ANSI and ISO specifications.
Theory of Operation Optical Drive Mechanism the cartridge shuttle to raise and lower the cartridge within the loader housing. Bias Magnet The bias magnet subassembly sits on top of the cartridge shuttle and provides the correct polarity for erasing or writing data. Optical Head The optical head assembly contains both mechanical and electronic components and is a “split optics”...
Theory of Operation Errors Errors The various error thresholds are the basis for deciding whether or not to spare a sector. This could happen during the certification process (i.e. the slip sparing algorithm) or auto-reallocation during a SCSI Write command (i.e. the replacement sparing algorithm). These error thresholds are related to the format of a sector in the User Zone.
Theory of Operation The SCSI Bus and This Jukebox The SCSI Bus and This Jukebox This jukebox is a “fast and narrow” SCSI device with the capability to connect to either a narrow single-ended bus or a wide differential bus. In the diagram below, note that the single-ended (50-line) bus is brought directly onto the jukebox internal narrow bus.
Theory of Operation The SCSI Bus and This Jukebox Adding Devices to the Bus When considering adding other devices to the jukebox bus, consider the following: • Will adding a device onto a bus with this jukebox interfere or degrade the performance of the jukebox or the device that is added? •...
Page 248
Theory of Operation The SCSI Bus and This Jukebox Because a narrow device only has a 50-pin connector, it will not transmit the eight extra bits of data needed for the wide device on the end of the bus. Using only 50 lines also prevents the narrow device from passing along the IDs of devices at 8 or above.
Page 249
Theory of Operation The SCSI Bus and This Jukebox It is very important that the 68-pin to 50-pin cable is properly configured to assure that the eighteen truncated lines are properly terminated. Cable Lengths Observe SCSI cable maximum lengths; - 3 meters (9.8 feet) for the single-ended bus (remember, this is a fast device) - 25 meters (82 feet) for the differential bus.
