CHAPTER 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Standard Features Hardware Structure System Configuration This chapter describes the feature and configuration of the intelligent disk drives (IDD). IDDs are high performance large capacity 3.5-inch fixed disk drives with an embedded SCSI controller. The interface between the IDD and host system is based on SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) standard [ANSI X3.131 - 1986: Small Computer System Interface (SCSI), ANSI X3.131-1994: Small Computer System Interface - 2 (SCSI-2)].
Standard Features Compactness Since the SCSI controller circuit is embedded in the standard 3.5-inch fixed disk drive form factor, the IDD is extremely compact. The IDD can be connected directly to the SCSI bus of the host system . SCSI/CCS standard The IDD provides not only SCSI basic functions but also the following features: Arbitration Disconnection/reselection...
Page 18
Note: The maximum data transfer rate in asynchronous mode may be limited by the response time of initiator and the length of SCSI bus length. The maximum data transfer rate in synchronous mode on the single-ended SCSI bus may be limited by the cable length, transmission characteristics of the SCSI bus and the connected SCSI device number.
Page 19
(10) Error recovery The IDD can try to recover from errors in SCSI bus or the disk drive using its powerful retry processing. If a recoverable data check occurs, error-free data can be transferred to the initiator after being corrected in the data buffer. The initiator software is released from the complicated error recover processing by these error recovery functions of the IDD.
(18) Low power consumption By using highly integrated LSI components, the power consumption of the IDD is very low, and this enables the unit to be used in wide range of environmental conditions. (19) Low noise and low vibration Approx. 4.2 bels for the IDD. This makes it ideal for office use. The IDD has rubber vibration isolators, which minimize the transfer of vibration.
MAA3182:10 MAB3091, MAC3091:5 MAB3045, MAC3045:3 Heads The MR (Magnet - Resistive) of the CSS (contact start/stop) type heads are in contact with the disks when the disks are not rotating, and automatically float when the rotation is started.
Page 24
Actuator The actuator, which uses a rotary voice coil motor (VCM), consumes little power and generates little heat. The head assembly at the end of the actuator arm is controlled and positioned via feedback of servo information in the data. The actuator positions heads on the CCS zone over the disk and is locked by the mechanical lock when the power is off or the spindle motor is stopped.
System Configuration Figure 1.8 shows the system configuration. The IDDs are connected to the SCSI bus of host systems and are always operated as target. The IDDs perform input/output operation as specified by SCSI devices which operate as initiator. Figure 1.8 SCSI bus configuration Up to eight SCSI devices operating as an initiator or a target can be connected to the SCSI bus for the 8-bit SCSI and up to 16 SCSI devices operating as an initiator or a target can be...
Page 26
Addressing of peripheral device Each SCSI device on the bus has its own unique address (SCSI ID:#n in Figure 1.6). For input/output operation, a peripheral device attached to the SCSI bus that operates as target is addressed in unit called as logical unit. A unique address (LUN: logical unit number) is assigned for each logical unit.
CHAPTER 2 SPECIFICATIONS Hardware Specifications SCSI Function Specifications This chapter describes specifications of the IDD and the functional specifications of the SCSI. Hardware Specifications 2.1.1 Model name and part number Each model has a different data format and front panel type when shipped. (See Appendix D for the model name (type) and product number.) The data format can be changed by reinitializing with the user's system.
2.1.2 Function specifications Table 2.1 shows the function specifications of the IDD. Table 2.1 Item Formatted capacity/device (*1) Unformatted capacity/device Number of disks Number of heads Number of cylinders (*2) Unformatted capacity/track Number of rotations (rpm) Average latency time Minimum Seek time (*3) (Read/Write) Average...
Page 30
The formatted capacity can be changed by changing the logical block length and using spare (*1) sector space. See Chapter 3 for the further information. The number of user cylinders indicates the max., and includes the alternate cylinder. The (*2) number of user cylinders and alternate cylinders can be specified at format of the IDD.
2.1.3 Environmental specifications Table 2.2 lists environmental and power requirements. Table 2.2 MAA3182xx Operating Non-operating Temperature (*1) DE surface temperature at operating Gradient Operating Non operating Relative humidity Maximum wet bulb temperature Operating (*3) Vibration (*2) Non-operating (*4) Operating Shock (*2) Non-operating 50G or less (11 ms half-sin.)
The terminator power pin (SCSI connector) which supplies power to other terminators is not (*6) used (See Section 4.3). High frequency noise is less than 100 mVp-p. (*7) 2.1.4 Error rate Errors detected during initialization and replaced by alternate block assignments are not included in the error rate.
Page 33
Service life The service life under suitable conditions and treatment is as follows. The service life is depending on the environment temperature. Therefore, the user must design the system cabinet so that the average DE surface temperature is as possible as low. DE surface temperature: 45°C or less DE surface temperature: 46°C to 50°C DE surface temperature: 51°C to 55°C...

Refer to the OEM Manual –SCSI Physical Specifications–, for details or specifications. Table 2.3 Item Single-ended type Differential type Electrical...
CHAPTER 3 DATA FORMAT Data Space Logical Data Block Addressing Defect Management This chapter explains data space definition, logical data block addressing, and defect management on the IDD. Data Space The IDD manages the entire data storage area divided into the following three data spaces. User space: Storage area for user data Internal test space: Reserved area for diagnostic purposes System space: Area for exclusive use of IDD itself...
Figure 3.1 Cylinder configuration Apart from the above logical configuration, the IDD intends to increase the storage capacity by dividing all cylinders into several zones and changing a recording density of each zone. Tables 3.1 and 3.2 show the zone layout and the track capacity. 3 - 2 C141-E035-03EN...
Table 3.1 Zone layout and track capacity (MAA31xxxx) Zone Cylinder 0 to 769 770 to 1,549 Byte/track 162,250 154,160 Sector/track Zone Cylinder 5,090 to 6,100 to 6,099 6,479 Byte/track 130,000 127,625 Sector/track Table 3.2 Zone layout and track capacity (MAB30xxxx) Zone Cylinder 0 to 769...
Page 39
User space The user space is a storage area for user data. The data format on the user space (the length of data block and the number of data blocks) can be specified with the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED command. The default number of cylinders in the user space is 9,041 for MAA31xxxx, 8,491 for MAB30xxxx and 8,691 for MAC30xxxx.
3.1.2 Alternate spare area The alternate spare area is provided in the last track of each primary cylinder in the user space, and in the last track of the cylinder and the alternate cylinder. The spare area in each cylinder is placed at the end of the last track as shown in Figure 3.2. These spare sectors are located in the end of the track logically, not necessarily located at the end physically because of track skew or cylinder skew.
3.1.3 Track format Physical sector allocation Figure 3.4 shows the allocation of the physical sectors in a track. The length in bytes of each physical sector and the number of sectors per track vary depending on the logical data block length.
Track skew and cylinder skew To avoid waiting for one turn involved in head and cylinder switching, the first logical data block in each track is shifted by the number of sectors (track skew and cylinder skew) corresponding to the switching time. Figure 3.5 shows how the data block is allocated in each track.
3.1.4 Sector format Each sector on the track consists of an ID field, a data field, and a gap field which separates them. Figure 3.6 gives sector format examples. Each sector on the track consists of the following fields: Gaps (G1) The gap length at the time of formatting (initializing) is listed in Figure 3.6.
Page 44
BCRC It is a 2-byte error detection code. Errors in the ID field. Single burst errors with lengths of up to 16 bits for each logical block can be detected. 24-byte data error detection/correction code for the data field. It is possible to on-the-fly correct the single burst errors with lengths of up to 89 bits.
3.1.5 Format capacity The size of the usable area for storing user data on the IDD (format capacity) varies according to the logical data block or the size of the spare sector area. Table 3.4 lists examples of the format capacity when the typical logical data block length and the default spare area are used. The following is the general formula to calculate the format capacity.
Logical Data Block Addressing Independently of the physical structure of the disk drive, the IDD adopts the logical data block addressing as a data access method on the disk medium. The IDD relates a logical data block address to each physical sector at formatting. Data on the disk medium is accessed in logical data block units.
Defect Management 3.3.1 Defect list Information of the defect location on the disk is managed by the defect list. The following are defect lists which the IDD manages. P list (Primary defect list): This list consists of defect location information available at the disk drive shipment and is recorded in a system space.
Page 48
Alternate sector treatment: The logical data block corresponding to defective sectors is allocated to unused spare sectors in the same cylinder or unused spare sectors in the alternate cylinder. The alternate block allocation is executed by the FORMAT UNIT command, the REASSIGN BLOCKS command, or the automatic alternate block allocation.
: n represents a logical data block number : Defective sector : Unused spare sector Figure 3.7 Alternate block allocation by FORMAT UNIT command If the data block verifying operation (certification) is not permitted (DCRT flag = 0) in the FORMAT UNIT command, the IDD checks all initialized logical data blocks by reading them out after the above alternate block allocation is made to initialize (format) the disk.
Alternate block allocation by REASSIGN BLOCKS command When the REASSIGN BLOCKS command is specified, the alternate block is allocated to the defective logical data block specified by the initiator by means of alternate sector treatment. If there are unused spare sectors in the same cylinder as the specified defective logical data block, the alternate block is allocated to these unused spare sectors.
Page 51
Automatic alternate block allocation If the ARRE flag in the MODE SELECT parameter permits the automatic alternate block allocation, the IDD automatically executes the alternate block allocation and data duplication on the defective data block detected during the READ EXTENDED command. allocation method is the same as with the REASSIGN BLOCKS command (alternate sector treatment).
CHAPTER 4 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS Mounting Requirements Power Supply Requirements Connection Requirements This chapter describes the environmental, mounting, power supply, and connection requirements. Mounting Requirements 4.1.1 External dimensions Figures 4.1 to 4.4 show the external dimensions of the IDD and the positions of the holes for the IDD mounting screws.
4.1.2 Mounting The permissible orientations of the IDD are shown in Figure 4.5, and the tolerance of the angle is 5° from the horizontal plane. (a) Horizontal –1 Direction of gravity (d) Vertical –2 4.1.3 Notes on mounting Mounting frame structure To guarantee integrity of the IDD disk enclosure (DE) insulation once mounted on the frame inside the system, special attention must be given to the note below.
c) Tightening torque of screw must be secured with 6kg-cm. Damage : To absolutely guarantee integrity of the IDD disk enclosure (DE) insulation once actually mounted to the frame inside the system, special attention must be given to the cautionary notes below. Figure 4.6 Limitation of side-mounting Mount the side using the screw holes at both the ends as shown in Figure 4.7.
Environmental temperature Temperature condition at installed in a cabinet is indicated with ambient temperature measured 3 cm from the disk drive. At designing the system cabinet, consider following points. Make a suitable air flow so that the DE surface temperature does not exceed 55°C. An air flow with an adequate wind velocity must be maintained to deal with much heat generated from the MAC30xxxx.
Service clearance area The service clearance area, or the sides which must allow access to the IDD for installation or maintenance, is shown in Figures 4.9. [Surface P] • Cable connection Figure 4.9 External magnetic field The drive should not be installed near the ferromagnetic body like a speaker to avoid the influence of the external magnetic field.
Power Supply Requirements Allowable input voltage and current The power supply input voltage measured at the power supply connector pin of the IDD (receiving end) must satisfy the requirement given in Subsection 2.1.3. requirements, see Items (4) and (5) below.) Current waveform (reference) Figure 4.11 shows the waveform of +12 VDC.
c) In a system which does not use the terminating resistor power supply signal (TERMPWR) on the SCSI bus, the requirements for +5 VDC given in Figure 4.13 must be satisfied between the IDD and the SCSI device with the terminating resistor circuit. SCSI devices with the terminating resistor...
Sequential starting of spindle motors After power is turned on to the IDD, a large amount of current flows in the +12 VDC line when the spindle motor rotation starts. Therefore, if more than one IDD is used, the spindle motors should be started sequentially using one of the following procedures to prevent overload of the power supply unit.
SCSI connector and power supply connector a. 16-bit SCSI The connector for the SCSI bus is an unshielded P connector conforming to SCSI-3 type which has two 34-pin rows spaced 1.27 mm (0.05 inch) apart. Figure 4.17 shows the SCSI connector.
Figure 4.18 Power supply connector (16-bit SCSI model) SG terminal The IDD is not provided with an SG terminal (fasten tab) for DC grounding. Therefore, when connecting SG and FG in the system, use the +5 VDC RETURN (ground) inside the power supply connector as the SG on the power supply side.
External operator panel connector Signals a. 16-bit SCSI –ID3, –ID2, –ID1, –ID0: Input signals These signals are used for providing switches to set the SCSI ID of the IDD externally. Figure 4.21 shows the electrical requirements. For the recommended circuit examples, see Subsection 4.3.5.
b. –LED and LED (V): Output signals These signals actuate the external LED as same as LED on the front panel of the disk drive. The electrical requirements are given in Figure 4.22. Notes: The external LED is identical in indication to the LED on the front of the IDD. The meaning of indication can be selected with the CHANGE DEFINITION command.
Inputs the master signal when the IDD carries out rotational synchronization with the external master signal. This signal is pulled up with 3 k external terminating resistor. For details of spindle synchronization function , refer to Section 3.1, in the SCSI Logical Interface Specifications.
Cable connection requirements The requirements for cable connection between the IDD, host system, and power supply unit are given in Figure 4.23. Recommended components for connection are listed in Table 4.1. External operator panel (example) Figure 4.23 Cables connection (16-bit SCSI model) C141-E035-02EN 4 - 21...
4.3.2 SCA2 type SCSI model (MAA31xxSC, MAB30xxSC, MAC30xxSC) Connectors Figure 4.24 shows the locations of connectors and terminals on the SCA2 type SCSI model. SCSI connector (including power supply connector) SCSI connector Figure 4.24 Connectors and terminals location of SCA2 type SCSI model 4 - 22 C141-E035-03EN...
SCSI connector and power supply connector a. SCA type SCSI The connector for the SCSI bus is an unshielded SCA-2 connector conforming to SCSI-3 type which has two 40-pin rows spaced 1.27 mm (0.05 inch) apart. Figure 4.25 shows the SCSI connector.
The maximum length of the SCSI cable is as follow. If more than one SCSI device is connected, the total cable length must not exceed the value given in Table 4.2. The cable length between single-ended type SCSI devices must be more than 30 cm (recommended: 50 cm or more).
Figure 4.27 SCSI cable termination Power cable IDDs must be star-connected to the DC power supply (one to one connection) to reduce the influence of load variations. DC ground The DC ground cable must always be connected to the IDD because no fasten terminal dedicated to SG is provided with the IDD.
4.3.4 External operator panel A recommended circuit of the external operator panel is shown in Figure 4.28. Since the external operator panel is not provided as an option, this panel must be fabricated at the user site referring to the recommendation if necessary. Figure 4.28 External operator panel circuit example (MAx3xxxSP) Note: Do not connect the external LED to both CN1 and CN7.
CHAPTER 5 INSTALLATION Notes on Handling Drives Connections Setting Terminals Mounting Drives Connecting Cables Confirming Operations after Installation and Preparation for Use Dismounting Drives This chapter describes the notes on handling drives, connections, setting switches and plugs, mounting drives, connecting cables, confirming drive operations after installation and preparation for use, and dismounting drives.
Page 81
Installation a) Do not attempt to connect or disconnect connections when power is on. The only pin settings that may be altered are pins 13, 14 (Write Protect) in CN7. b) Do not move the drive when power is turned on or until the drive completely stops (for 30 seconds) after power is turned off.
Connections Figure 5.1 shows examples of connection modes between the host system and the IDD. For the 16-bit SCSI, up to 16 devices including the host adapter, IDD, and other SCSI devices can be connected to the SCSI bus in arbitrary combinations. Install a terminating resistor on the SCSI device connected to both ends of the SCSI cable.

Setting Terminals The user must set the following terminals and SCSI terminating resistor before installing the IDD in the system. Setting terminal: Figures 5.2 shows the setting terminal position of SP model. Figures 5.3 shows SP models for allocation and default settings. The user must not change the setting of terminals not described in this section.
5.3.1 SCSI ID setting SCA type 16-bit SCSI model (MAx3xxxSC) There is no SCSI ID setting terminal for SCA type model. Set the SCSI ID using ID0, ID1, ID2, and ID3 signals on the SCSI interface connector (CN1). Single-ended 16-bit SCSI model (MAx3xxxSP) Table 5.1 shows the SCSI ID setting.
Set the SCSI ID so that there are no duplicates between SCSI devices on the same SCSI bus. The priority of SCSI bus use in ARBITRATION phase is determined by SCSI ID as follows: 7 > 6 > 5 > 4 > 3 > 2 > 1 > 0 > 15 > 14 > 13 > 12 > 11 > 10 > 9 > 8 5.3.2 Each mode setting Setting terminal power supply...
5.3.3 Write protect, terminating resistor setting Write protect When the write protect function is enabled, writing to the disk medium is disabled. The write protect function setting is not provided to the SCA2 type 16-bit SCSI model (MAx3xxxSC). For information on MAx3xxxSP, refer to Figure 5.2 and 5.3. Table 5.4 Write protect setting (single-ended 16-bit SCSI model: MAx3xxxSP) Write operation is enabled.
5.3.4 Mode settings In addition to the previously described settings using setting terminals, the IDD is provided with several mode settings. The mode settings are enabled by specifying the CHANGE DEFINITION command. shipment. Refer to Section 3.1.4 of the SCSI Logical Interface Specifications for details of the command. Table 5.6 Default mode settings (by CHANGE DEFINITION command) Mode setting...
Mounting Drives 5.4.1 Check before mounting Reconfirm if the setting terminals are set correctly before mounting the drive in the system cabinet. For setting terminals location, see Section 5.3. Single-ended 16-bit SCSI model (MAx3xxxSP) Reconfirm if the setting terminals are set correctly according to Table 5.7. Table 5.7 Setting contents Setting...
Use mounting screws whose lengths inside the drive mounting frame are 4 mm or less when the screws are tightened (see Figure 4.6). When mounting the drive, be careful not to damage parts on the PCAs. 3) Check that the DE (signal ground) does not touch the system cabinet chassis (frame ground).
Be careful of the insertion directions of the SCSI connectors. With the system in which terminating resistor power is supplied via the SCSI cable, if the power is turned on, the overcurrent protection fuse of the terminating resistor power supplier may be blown or the cable may be burnt if overcurrent protection is not provided.
Page 93
c) The spindle motor does not start rotating until the START/STOP UNIT command for the start is issued. The INIT needs to issue the START/STOP UNIT command to start the spindle motor by the procedure in Subsection 5.6.2. d) The disk drive enters the READY status in 30 seconds after the START/STOP UNIT command is issued.
5.6.2 Checking SCSI connection When the initial operation is checked normally after power is turned on, check that the IDD is connected to the SCSI bus from the host system. Although checking the connection depends on the structure of the host system, this section describes the general procedures. Checking procedure Issuing the commands and determining the end status depends on the start mode of the spindle motor and UNIT ATTENTION report mode (specified with setting terminal).
Checking at abnormal end a) When sense data can be obtained with the REQUEST SENSE command, analyze the sense data and retry recovery for a recoverable error. Refer to Chapter 4 of SCSI Logical Interface Specifications for further details. b) Check the following items for the SCSI cable connection: All connectors including other SCSI devices are connected correctly.
Page 98
b. Format parameter (page code = 3) Specify the number of spare sectors for each cylinder in the "alternate sectors/zone" field and specify the number of tracks for alternate cylinders (= number of alternate cylinders number of disk drive heads) in the "alternate tracks/zone" field. It is recommended not to specify values smaller than the IDD default value in this field.
5.6.4 Setting parameters The user can specify the optimal operation mode for the user system environments by setting the following parameters with the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED command: Error recovery parameter Disconnection/reconnection parameter Caching parameter Control mode parameter With the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED command, specify 1 for the "SP"...
Page 100
The saved value of the MODE SELECT parameter is assumed as the initial value of each parameter after the power-on, the RESET condition, or the BUS DEVICE RESET message. change the parameter value temporary (actively) at any timing by issuing the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED command with specifying "0"...
Page 101
Notes: The user can arbitrarily specify the following parameters according to the system requirements: ARRE The user also can arbitrarily specify parameters other than the above. However, it is recommended to use the default setting in normal operations. Disconnection/reconnection parameters (page code = 2) The following parameters are used to optimize the start timing of reconnection processing to transfer data on the SCSI bus at a read (READ or READ EXTENDED command) or write operation (WRITE, WRITE EXTENDED, or WRITE AND VERIFY command) of the disk.
Page 102
Caching parameters The following parameters are used to optimize IDD Read-Ahead caching operations under the system environments. Refer to Chapter 2 of SCSI Logical Interface Specifications for further details. a. Read caching parameters • RCD: Disabling Read-Ahead caching operations • WCE: Write Cache Enable •...
a. Control mode parameters • Queue algorithm modifier • QErr: Resume or abort remaining suspended commands after sense pending state • DQue: Disabling tagged command queuing Dismounting Drives Since dismounting the drive to check the setting terminals, change the setting, or change the drive depends on the structure of the system cabinet, the work procedures must be determined in consideration of the requirements specific to the system.
CHAPTER 6 DIAGNOSTICS AND MAINTENANCE Diagnostics Maintenance Information This chapter describes diagnostics and maintenance information. Diagnostics 6.1.1 Self-diagnostics The IDD has the following self-diagnostic function. This function checks the basic operations of the IDD. Initial self-diagnostics Online self-diagnostics (SEND DIAGNOSTIC command) Table 6.1 lists the contents of the tests performed with the self-diagnostics.
Page 105
Brief test contents of self-diagnostics are as follows. a. Hardware function test This test checks the basic operation of the controller section, and contains following test. RAM (microcode is stored) Peripheral circuits of microprocessor (MPU) Memory (RAM) Data buffer b. Seek test This test checks the positioning operation of the disk drive using several seek modes (2 points seek, 1 position sequential seek, etc.).
Page 106
The IDD does not reply to the SCSI bus for up to 2 seconds after the initial self-diagnostics is started. After that, the IDD can accept the I/O operation request correctly, but the received command, except the executable commands under the not ready state (such as INQUIRY, START/STOP UNIT), is terminated with the CHECK CONDITION status (NOT READY [=2]/logical unit not ready [=04-00]) during the interval from the spindle motor becomes stable to the IDD becomes ready.
When an error is detected in the self-diagnostics, the IDD terminates the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command with the CHECK CONDITION status. At this time only when an error is detected in the hardware function test, the LED on the front panel of the disk drive blinks.
Interface (SCSI bus) test The operations of the SCSI bus and data buffer on the IDD are checked with the WRITE BUFFER and READ BUFFER commands. Basic operation test The basic operations of the IDD are checked by executing self-diagnosis with the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command (see Subsection 6.1.1).
