    CHAPTER 1 General Description Standard Features Hardware Structure System Configuration This chapter describes the feature and configuration of the MAS series intelligent disk drives (IDD). IDDs are high performance large capacity 3.5 type fixed disk drives with an embedded Fibre-Channel controller.
  • Page 22 General Description Standard Features Compactness In a compact enclosure having the 3.5-inch HDD form factor, the IDD contains an FC-AL controller, which supports the Arbitrated Loop technology (FC-AL), a Fibre Channel technology defined by the related ANSI standard. FC-AL standard The IDD provides not only FC-AL basic functions but also the following features: Arbitration Disconnection/Reconnection...

  • Page 23: Standard Features

    Cache feature After executing the READ command, the IDD reads automatically and stores (prefetches) the subsequent data blocks into the data buffer (Read-ahead caching). The high speed sequential data access can be achieved by transferring the data from the data buffer without reaccessing the disk in case the subsequent command requests the prefetched data blocks.
  • Page 24 General Description (12) Automatic alternate block reassignment If a defective data block is detected during read or write the IDD can automatically reassign its alternate data block. (13) Programmable data block length Data can be accessed in fixed-block length units. The data block length is programmable, and can be specified at initializing with a multiple of four within the range of 512 to 528 bytes.

    Read/write circuit The read/write circuit utilizes a read channel mounted with a head IC that supports high-speed transmission and an MEEPR4ML (Modified Enhanced Extended Partial Response Class 4 Maximum Likelihood) modulation/demodulation circuit in order to prevent errors being triggered by external noise and to improve data reliability.
  • Page 28 General Description Loop configuration A port embedded with sending and receiving circuits uses differential signals to send and receive data on electric signal lines. A pair of signal lines is called a link. Since signals are sent in one direction on a link, the links in a system must be connected to form a loop.

    Data Format A number starting with 0 is assigned to each cylinder required in the user space in ascending order. If the number of cylinders do not reach the maximum, the rest of the cylinders will not be used. Always one cylinder that is located at the end of each zone in the user space can be established as an alternate cylinder.

  • Page 41: Track Format

    Cell Note: This drive manages alternate spare areas for each cell, which is a set of cylinders. One cell consists of 28 cylinders. An alternate cylinder is used when spare sectors in a cell are used up or 0 is specified as the number of spare sectors in a cell.

  • Page 42: Figure 3.4 Track Format

    Data Format Track skew and head 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 head skew) corresponding to the switching time.

  • Page 43: Sector Format

    Cylinder skew Head Head Figure 3.5 The number of physical sectors (track skew factor and head skew factor) corresponding to the skew time varies depending on the logical data block length because the track skew and the head skew are managed for individual sectors.
  • Page 44 Data Format Each sector on the track consists of the following fields: Gaps (G1, G2, G3) No pattern is written on the gap field. PLO Sync In this field, pattern X'00' is written. Sync Mark (SM1, SM2) In this field, special pattern is written. This special pattern indicates the beginning of the data field. Data field (DATA1-DATA4) User data is stored in the data field of the sector.

  • Page 45: Format Capacity

    Model Data heads MAS3735FC MAS3367FC Note: Total number of spare sectors is calculated by adding the number of spare sectors in each primary cylinder and the number of sectors in the alternate cylinders. 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.
  • Page 46 Data Format Block address of user space The logical data block address number is consecutively assigned to all of the data blocks in the user space starting with 0 to the first data block. The IDD treats sector 0, track 0, cylinder 0 as the first logical data block. The data block is allocated in ascending order of addresses in the following sequence (refer to Figure 3.5): 1) Logical data blocks are assigned in ascending order of sector number in the same track.

    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.

    Data Format Alternate block allocation during FORMAT UNIT command execution When the FORMAT UNIT command is specified, the allocation of the alternate block to those defective sectors included in the specified lists (P, G, or D) is continued until all spare sectors in the same cell are used up.

  • Page 49: Figure 3.8 Alternate Block Allocation By Reassign Blocks Command

    *1 Certification is permitted when DCRT flag is cleared (DCRT flag=0) in 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.
  • Page 50 Data Format Automatic alternate block allocation Automatic alternate block allocation at read operation 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 or READ EXTENDED command.
