Elite 47 Product Manual, Rev. A Scope This manual describes Seagate Technology®, Inc. Elite 47™ disc drives. Elite 47 drives support the small computer system interface (SCSI) as described in the ANSI SCSI, SCSI-2, and SCSI-3 (Fast-20 or Ultra SCSI) interface specifications to the extent described in this manual. The SCSI Interface Product Manual (part number 77738479) describes general SCSI interface characteristics of this and other families of Seagate drives.
Standards The Elite 47 family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this manual and the Seagate SCSI Interface Product Manual (volume 2), part number 77738479.
ANSI small computer system interface (SCSI) document numbers: X3.131-1994 SCSI-2 X3.253-1995 SCSI-3 Parallel Interface Package Test Specification Seagate P/N 30190-001 (under 100 lb.)

SCSI host adapters. This manual describes the Elite 47 model ST446452W. It has a 68-pin interface connector for a 16-bit data bus. The drive records and recovers data on 5.25-inch (133.4 mm) non-removeable discs.
Elite 47 Product Manual, Rev. A Figure 2. Elite 47 family drive Standard features Elite 47 drives have the following standard features: • Integrated SCSI controller • Single-ended SCSI drivers and receivers • 16-bit I/O data bus • Asynchronous and synchronous data transfer protocols •...
Elite 47 Product Manual, Rev. A • Dynamic spindle brake • Active IC terminators enabled by jumper • 4,096 Kbyte data buffer. See Section 4.5 Media characteristics The media used on the drive has a diameter of approximately 5.25 inches (134 mm). The aluminum substrate is coated with a thin film magnetic material, overcoated with a proprietary protective layer for improved durabil- ity and environmental protection.
Elite 47 Product Manual, Rev. A Options (factory installed) All options that a customer may request are incorporated during production or packaged at the manufacturing facility before shipping. Some of the options available are: • The capacities shown in Section 3.5. You can order other capacities by selecting other sparing schemes and sector sizes.

Elite 47 Product Manual, Rev. A Start/stop time Disabling the Motor Start option causes the drive to become ready within 45 seconds after DC power is applied at nominal voltage. This means the motor starts as soon as power is applied. If a recoverable error condition is detected during the start sequence, the drive will execute a recovery procedure and may cause the time to become ready to exceed 45 seconds.
Elite 47 Product Manual, Rev. A Case B - Read command is received and the first logical block address requested is not in any segment of the cache. 1. The drive fetches the requested logical blocks from the disc and transfers them into a segment, then from there to the initiator in accordance with the “buffer-full”...

Elite 47 Product Manual, Rev. A system performance. The max prefetch field (bytes 8 and 9) limits the amount of prefetch. The drive does not use the prefetch “ceiling” field (bytes 10 and 11). During a prefetch operation, the drive crosses a cylinder boundary to fetch more data only if the Discontinuity (DISC) bit is set to one in bit 4 of byte 2 of Mode parameters page 08h.

Elite 47 Product Manual, Rev. A Seeking is defined as a third-stroke seek at OD. A command is issued every 20 msec. [10] Read track is defined as repeat reads of track 15 with a duty cycle of 63%. General Notes from Table 1: 1.
Note. All times and currents are typical. See Table 1 for maximum current requirements. Power dissipation ST446452W Typical operating random read power dissipation is 24 watts (82 BTUs per hour) of DC power average at nom- inal voltages. Environmental limits Temperature and humidity values experienced by the drive must be such that condensation does not occur on any drive part.
The maximum case temperatures are calculated and may not reflect actual operating values. Sufficient cooling air may be required to ensure that these values are not exceeded.

Elite 47 Product Manual, Rev. A Drive orientation The balanced rotary arm actuator design of the drive allows it to be mounted in any orientation. All drive perfor- mance characterization, however, has been done with the drive in horizontal (discs level) and vertical (drive on its side) orientations, and these are the two preferred mounting orientations.

Elite 47 Product Manual, Rev. A Notes: See Section 9.7.1 for detailed electrical characteristics of these signals. The conductor number refers to the conductor position when using 0.025-inch (0.635 mm) centerline flat ribbon cable. Other cable types may be used to implement equivalent contact assignments. Connector contacts are on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) centers.
Elite 47 Product Manual, Rev. A Electrical description ST446452W models use single-ended interface signals. These signals must be terminated with 110-ohm active termination circuits at each end of the total cable. Single-ended circuits use open collector or three state drivers. All of these models can be configured to provide the SCSI termination.
Elite 47 Product Manual, Rev. A Terminator requirements Internal disc drive I/O termination consists of active circuits contained in an LSI module that is permanently mounted on the PCB. All single initiator/single target (non-daisy-chain) applications require you to terminate the initiator and drive. Terminate both ends of the SCSI bus with ANSI SCSI-2 standard alternative 2 (active) termination.
