Seagate drives also may be used at the maximum available capacity at a given sector size, but the excess capacity above the guaranteed level will vary between 10K and 15K families and from generation to gener- ation, depending on how each sector size actually formats out for zone frequencies and splits over servo bursts.
Factory-installed options You may order the following items which are incorporated at the manufacturing facility during production or packaged before shipping. Some of the options available are (not an exhaustive list of possible options): • Other capacities can be ordered depending on sparing scheme and sector size requested. •...

Prefetch/multi-segmented cache control The drive provides a prefetch (read look-ahead) and multi-segmented cache control algorithms that in many cases can enhance system performance. Cache refers to the drive buffer storage space when it is used in cache operations. To select this feature, the host sends the Mode Select command with the proper values in the applicable bytes in page 08h.
If read caching is enabled (RCD=0), then data written to the medium is retained in the cache to be made avail- able for future read cache hits. The same buffer space and segmentation is used as set up for read functions. The buffer segmentation scheme is set up or changed independently, having nothing to do with the state of RCD.
Reliability specifications The following reliability specifications assume correct host and drive operational interface, including all inter- face timings, power supply voltages, environmental requirements and drive mounting constraints. Seek error rate: Less than 10 errors in 10 seeks Read Error Rates Recovered Data Less than 10 errors in 10 bits transferred (OEM default settings)
5.1.3 Seek errors A seek error is defined as a failure of the drive to position the heads to the addressed track. After detecting an initial seek error, the drive automatically performs an error recovery process. If the error recovery process fails, a seek positioning error (Error code = 15h or 02h) will be reported with a Hardware error (04h) in the Sense Key.
The Pass-through state is disabled while the drive performs self test of the FC interface. The control line for an external port bypass circuit remains in the Enable Bypass state while self test is running. If the bypass circuit is present, loop operation may continue.
Reporting control Reporting is controlled by the MRIE bits in the Informational Exceptions Control mode page (1Ch). Subject to the reporting method, the firmware will issue to the host an 01-5Dxx sense code. The error code is preserved through bus resets and power cycles. Determining rate S.M.A.R.T.
DST. It is the responsibility of the host application to determine the “not ready” cause. While not technically part of DST, a Not Ready condition also qualifies the drive to be returned to Seagate as a failed drive.
Page 30
A Drive Not Ready condition is reported by the drive under the following conditions: • Motor will not spin • Motor will not lock to speed • Servo will not lock on track • Drive cannot read configuration tables from the disc In these conditions, the drive responds to a Test Unit Ready command with an 02/04/00 or 02/04/03 code.

The drive firmware error recovery algorithms consists of 11 levels for read recoveries and five levels for write. Each level may consist of multiple steps, where a step is defined as a recovery function involving a single re- read or re-write attempt. The maximum level used by the drive in LBA recovery is determined by the read and write retry counts.
FC-AL system errors Information on the reporting of operational errors or faults across the interface is given in the Fibre Channel Interface Manual. The FCP Response returns information to the host about numerous kinds of errors or faults. The Receive Diagnostic Results reports the results of diagnostic operations performed by the drive. Status returned by the drive to the initiator is described in the Fibre Channel Interface Manual.
DAR is most effective when AWRE and ARRE are enabled—this is the default setting from the Seagate factory. With AWRE and ARRE disabled DAR is unable to reallocate the failing location and will report an error sense code indicating that a write command is being attempted to a previously failing location.
Installation Cheetah NS FC disc drive installation is a plug-and-play process. There are no jumpers, switches, or termina- — tors on the drive. Simply plug the drive into the host’s 40-pin Fibre Channel backpanel connector (FC-SCA) no cables are required. See Section 9.5 for additional information about this connector. Use the FC-AL interface to select drive ID and all option configurations for devices on the loop.
(F) is applied to the fourth point. Note. Before mounting the drive in any kind of 3.5-inch to 5.25-inch adapter frame, verify with Seagate Technology that the drive can meet the shock and vibration specifications given herein while mounted in such an adapter frame.
Grounding Signal ground (PCBA) and HDA ground are connected together in the drive and cannot be separated by the user. The equipment in which the drive is mounted is connected directly to the HDA and PCBA with no electri- cally isolating shock mounts. If it is desired for the system chassis to not be connected to the HDA/PCBA ground, the systems integrator or user must provide a nonconductive (electrically isolating) method of mount- ing the drive in the host equipment.
