    Pending CE and CSA Safety Compliance 2. INTRODUCTION The AT3515 is the low-cost, 3.5” member of the Bulldog Family of drives available today. With a maximum capacity of 8 Gbytes in a standard 3.5” drive form factor, it delivers exceptional value for its features. It is completely solid state, with no moving parts. This accounts for the unit’s exceptional ruggedness and wide operating temperature range.
  • Page 4: Installation

    The drive may be interfaced directly to a standard 3.5”, 0.1inch IDE socket connector or a standard 40pin IDE ribbon and AT power cable. See drawing below for pin 1 location. Care should be taken when installing the AT3515 into the system, as misalignment can permanently damage the drive interface connector or electronics.
  • Page 5: Mounting

    3.1.4 MOUNTING The AT3515 may be mounted in any orientation. A total of four bottom and six side mounting holes are available for installation. The mounting holes require 6-32 screws with a maximum depth of 0.25 inch. The diagram given below is valid for all capacities of the AT3515 drive. The overall outside dimensions are 4 inches (101.6 mm) wide, 5.56 inches (141.22mm) long, and...
  • Page 6: Partition

    3.1.7 FORMAT The AT3515 is low-level formatted at the factory, which establishes the 512-byte sector size. A high-level format is required after the partition has been established on the drive. Refer to your OS manual for information regarding hard disk drive format procedures.
  • Page 7: Master

    3.2.1 MASTER The drive is configured as a master device if no jumper is installed or if the jumper is installed on the master jumper block. 3.2.2 SLAVE The slave jumper allows the drive to be configured as a slave. 3.2.3 CABLE SELECT The Cable Select jumper allows the drive to be configured as a master or slave as determined by the drive’s position on an IDE cable.
  • Page 8: Write Protect

    3.2.4 WRITE PROTECT The Write Protect jumper prevents data from being written to the drive. 3.2.5 FACTORY DEFAULT The factory default configuration is master. No jumpers are installed. 3.5” Bulldog User Guide April 10, 2006 page 8 of 13...
  • Page 9: Ide Interface

    3.3 IDE INTERFACE The AT3515 uses a unitized signal and power connector. Maximum cable length is 18 inches. Recommended cable length is 12 inches or less, especially if advanced PIO or DMA transfer modes are used. 3.3.1 IDE CONNECTOR PINOUT The signal to pin assignment for the 40-pin IDE interface connector is listed in the following table.

    4.3.2 POWER SUPPLY The AT3515 voltage requirement is specified at +5 volts, +/- 5%. Operation outside of these limits is not guaranteed. Note that the drive will “operate” below this voltage, but reliability issues such as uncorrectable errors or invalid data reads may occur. An on board voltage monitor will inhibit writes when the on-board supply voltage falls below 3 volts, thus preserving data integrity on the drive.
  • Page 11: Power Routing

    Routing power in the star configuration, as is done on most desktop PCs, will minimize the effect on one device’s current draw on another device. This is key to maintaining data integrity on the AT3515. See diagrams below. Star Topology...
