    CHAPTER 1 General Description Standard Features Hardware Structure System Configuration This chapter describes the feature and configuration of the hard disk drives (HDD). The HDD are high performance large capacity 2.5" fixed disk drives with an embedded Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controller.
  • Page 18 The HDD has single pair of driver and receiver set (PHY) for the SAS to support single SAS port connection. On MAV2073RC and MAV2036RC, Primary Port on SAS plug connector (2 physical links plus power connections) is used for SAS port connection.

  • Page 19: 1.1 Standard Features

    Cache feature After executing the READ command, the HDD 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 20 General Description Error rate increase The drive format at factory shipment is generally 512 bytes. The recoverable Error of the drive might increase when the format would be modified from 512 bytes to the following values: 516 bytes, 520 bytes, 524 bytes, 528 bytes. The recoverable Error referred here is sense data (1-13-xx).

    (20) Microcode downloading The HDD implements the microcode download feature. This feature achieves easy maintainability of the HDD and function enhancing. Hardware Structure The HDD is composed of the disks, heads, and spindle motor mounted disk enclosure (DE) with actuator as well as read/write pre-amp with the printed circuit assembly (PCA) of the controller. Disks The disks have an outer diameter of 65 mm (2.56 inch).

  • Page 32: Alternate Spare Area

    Data Format 3.1.2 Alternate spare area The alternate spare area consists of the last track of each cell in the user space and an alternate cylinder allocated to the last cylinder of each zone. The spare area in each cell 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.

  • Page 33: Track Format

    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. The unused area (G4) exists at the end of the track in formats with most logical data block lengths.

    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 HDD 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.

The following are defect lists which the HDD 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 39: Figure 3.7 Alternate Block Allocation By Format Unit Command

    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 40: Figure 3.8 Alternate Block Allocation By Reassign Blocks

    Data Format If above errors are detected during FORMAT UNIT command, the HDD allocates the alternate block(s) to the defective data blocks. Reassign procedure itself is the same as one in REASSIGN BLOCKS command. Certification is permitted when DCRT flag is cleared (DCRT flag=0) in FORMAT UNIT command.
