CHAPTER 1  
GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
1.1 Standard Features  
1.2 Hardware Structure  
1.3 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)].  
The flexibility and expandability of the SCSI, as well as the powerful command set of the IDD, allow  
the user to construct a high-performance reliable disk subsystem with large storage capacity.  
C141-E064-03EN  
1 - 1  
1.1  
Standard Features  
(1)  
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 .  
(2)  
(3)  
(4)  
SCSI/CCS standard  
The IDD provides not only SCSI basic functions but also the following features:  
·
·
·
·
Arbitration  
Disconnection/reselection  
Data bus parity  
Command set which meets the logical specification of the SCSI CCS (Common  
Command Set for Direct Access Device) requirements (Rev. 4.B)  
The SCSI commands can manipulate data through logical block addressing regardless of the  
physical characteristics of the disk drive. This allows software to accommodate future  
expansion of system functions.  
8-bit SCSI/16-bit SCSI  
The IDD has 16-bit data bus width (16-bit SCSI), which have the wide transfer function  
suitable for SCSI-2. This is also available as 8-bit data bus.  
·
·
8-bit SCSI: Up to eight SCSI devices can be connected on the same SCSI bus.  
16-bit SCSI: Up to 16 SCSI devices can be connected on the same SCSI bus.  
For the ultra SCSI model, number of connectable SCSI devices on the same SCSI bus is varied  
as follows.  
·
·
Up to 4 SCSI devices having capacitance of 25 pF: Cable length of up to 3.0 m.  
5 to 8 SCSI devices having capacitance of 25 pF: Cable length of up to 1.5 m  
High speed data transfer  
·
·
8-bit SCSI:  
The data transfer rate on the SCSI bus is 40 MB/s maximum in  
synchronous mode.  
16-bit SCSI: The data transfer rate on the SCSI bus is 80 MB/s maximum in  
synchronous mode for LC/LP models and 160 MB/s maximum in  
synchronous mode for MC/MP models.  
Such a high data transfer rate on the SCSI bus can be useful with the large capacity buffer in  
the IDD.  
1 - 2  
C141-E064-03EN  
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 may be limited by the cable length, transmission characteristics of the  
SCSI bus and the connected SCSI device number.  
(5)  
Continuous block processing  
The addressing method of data blocks is logical block address. The initiator can access data  
by specifying block number in a logically continuous data space without concerning the  
physical structure of the track or cylinder boundaries.  
The continuous processing up to [64K-1] blocks in a command can be achieved, and IDD can  
perform continuous read/write operation when processing data blocks on several tracks or cylinder.  
(6)  
Programmable multi-segment data buffer  
The data buffer is 2M bytes for LC/LP and 4M bytes for MC/MP. Data is transferred between  
SCSI bus and disk media through this data buffer. The data buffer is divided into 1 to 32  
segments.  
This feature provides the suitable usage environment for users.  
Since the initiator can control the disconnect/reconnect timing on the SCSI bus by specifying  
the condition of stored data to the data buffer or empty condition of the data buffer, the  
initiator can perform the effective input/output operations with utilizing high data transfer  
capability of the SCSI bus regardless of actual data transfer rate of the disk drive.  
(7)  
(8)  
(9)  
Read-ahead 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.  
Command queuing feature  
The IDD can queue maximum 128 commands, and optimizes the issuing order of queued  
commands by the reordering function. This feature realizes the high speed processing.  
Recordering algorithm is adopted to prevent a specific command from staying in a queue for  
more than 3 seconds.  
Reserve and release functions  
The IDD can be accessed exclusively in the multi-host or multi-initiator environment by using  
the reserve and release functions.  
C141-E064-03EN  
1 - 3  
(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.  
(11)  
(12)  
Automatic alternate block reassignment  
If a defective data block is detected during read, the IDD can automatically reassign its  
alternate data block.  
Programmable data block length  
Data can be accessed in fixed-block length units. The data block length is programmable, and  
can at initializing with a multiple of two for LC/LP and four for MC/MP within the range of  
512 to 528 bytes.  
(13)  
Defective block slipping  
A logical data block can be reallocated in a physical sequence by slipping the defective data  
block at formatting. This results in high speed contiguous data block processing without a  
revolution delay due to defective data block.  
(14)  
(15)  
High speed positioning  
A rotary voice coil motor achieves fast positioning.  
Large capacity  
A large capacity can be obtained from 3.5-inch disk drives by dividing all cylinders into  
several partitions and changing the recording density on each partition (constant density  
recording). The disk subsystem with large capacity can be constructed in the good space  
efficiency.  
(16)  
(17)  
Start/Stop of spindle motor  
Using the SCSI command, the host system can start and stop the spindle motor.  
Diagnosis  
The IDD has a diagnostic capability which checks internal controller functions and drive  
operations to facilitate testing and repair.

C141-E028-01EN  
(18)  
(19)  
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.  
Low noise and low vibration  
The noise level is low; approx. 4.2 bels for MAF series and 4.0 bels for MAE and MAG  
series. This makes it ideal for office use. The IDD has rubber vibration isolators, which  
minimize the transfer of vibration.

Disks  
The disks have an outer diameter of 95 mm (3.74 inch) and inner diameter of 25 mm (0.98  
inch) for MAE series, and 84 mm (3.3 inch) outer diameter and 25 mm (0.98 inch) inner  
diameter for MAF/MAG series. The disks are good for at least 15,000 contact starts and stops.  
Each model contains following number of disks.

Spindle motor  
The disks are rotated by a direct-drive hall-less DC motor. The motor speed is controlled by a  
feedback circuit using the counter electromotive current to precisely maintain the speed at  
±0.5% of the specified speed.  
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.  
(5)  
Air circulation (recirculation filter, breather filter)  
The heads, disks, and actuator are hermetically sealed inside a disk enclosure (DE) to keep out  
dust and other pollutants. The DE has a closed-loop air recirculation system. Using the  
movement of the rotating disks, air is continuously cycled through a filter. This filter will trap  
any dust generated inside the enclosure and keep the air inside the DE contaminant free. To  
prevent negative pressure in the vicinity of the spindle when the disks begin rotating, a  
breather filter is attached. The breather filter also equalizes the internal air pressure with the  
atmospheric pressure due to surrounding temperature changes.  
(6)  
(7)  
Read/write circuit  
The read/write circuit utilizes a read channel mounted with a head IC that supports high-speed  
transmission and an EPR4ML (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.  
Controller circuit  
The controller circuit uses LSIs to increase the reliability and uses a high speed  
microprocessing unit (MPU) to increase the performance of the SCSI controller.  
C141-E064-03EN  
1 - 9  
1.3  
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 System configuration  
(1)  
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  
connected to the SCSI bus for the 16-bit SCSI in any combination.  
For example, the system can be configured as multi-host system on which multiple host  
computers that operate as initiator or connected through the SCSI bus.  
Using disconnect/reconnect function, concurrent input/output processing is possible on multi-  
SCSI devices.  
1 - 10  
C141-E064-03EN  
(2)  
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.  
The initiator selects one SCSI device by specifying that SCSI ID, then specifies the LUN to  
select the peripheral device for input/output operation.  
The IDD is constructed so that the whole volume of disk drive is a single logical unit, the  
selectable number of SCSI ID and LUN are as follows:  
·
·
SCSI ID:  
LUN:  
8-bit SCSI:Selectable from 0 to 7 (switch selectable)  
16-bit SCSI:Selectable from 0 to 15 (switch selectable)

CHAPTER 3  
DATA FORMAT  
3.1 Data Space  
3.2 Logical Data Block Addressing  
3.3 Defect Management  
This chapter explains data space definition, logical data block addressing, and defect management on  
the IDD.  
3.1  
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  
The user space allow a user access by specifying data. These space can be accessed with the  
logical data block addressing method described in Section 3.2. The internal test space is used  
by Read/write test of self-diagnostics test, but user can’t use direct access. The system space is  
accessed inside the IDD at power-on or during the execution of a specific command, but the  
user cannot directly access the system space.  
3.1.1  
Cylinder configuration  
The IDD allocates cylinders to the user space, Internal test space, and system space. Figure  
3.1 is the cylinder configuration.  
Spare areas (alternate areas) for defective sectors are provided in the user space. Several  
sectors in the last track of one cylinder and several cylinders (alternate cylinders) in the user  
space are allocated as alternate areas according to the user's assignment (MODE SELECT  
command). See Subsection 3.1.2 for details.

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 10,200 for MAF series, 12,000 for MAE  
series and 9,866 for MAG series. The user, however, can select the number of cylinders to be  
allocated in the user space by specifying 10,200 for MAF series, 9,866 for MAG series and  
12,000 for MAE series as the maximum and the number of alternate cylinders + 1 as the  
minimum. The user can also specify the number of logical data blocks to be placed in the user  
space with the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED command. When the  
number of logical data blocks is specified, as many cylinders as required to place the specified  
data blocks are allocated in the user space.  
A number starting with 0 is assigned to each cylinder required in the user space in ascending  
order. If the number does not reach 10,200 (MAF series) and 12,000 (MAE series) and 9,866  
(MAG series) the rest of the cylinders will not be used.  
Always one alternate cylinders can be established in the user space. Alternate cylinders will  
be used for alternate blocks when primary cylinders in the user space are used up. See  
Subsections 3.1.2 and 3.3.2 for details.

Internal test space  
The Internal test space is an area for diagnostic purposes only and its data block length is  
always 512KByte. The Internal test space consists of only 1 cylinder and outer-host cylinder  
is always assigned. The user cannot change the number of cylinders in the Internal test space  
or their positions.  
System space  
The system space is an area for exclusive use of the IDD itself and the following information  
are recorded. The length of the data block is always 512 bytes.

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. (Details are explained on Subsection  
3.1.3.)  
Size can be specified by the MODE SELECT command.  
The number of spare sectors per cylinder can be specified exceeding 32. The default value of  
number of 9 space sectors per cylinder is 20.  
Figure 3.2 Spare area in cylinders  
An alternate cylinder is used when spare sectors in a cylinder are used up or 0 is specified as  
the number of spare sectors in a cylinder. Several cylinders at the end of the user space are  
allocated as alternate cylinders as shown in Figure 3.3.  
The number of alternate cylinder is 1.  
The user space and the CE space share the alternate cylinders.

Track format  
(1)  
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.  
The interval of the sector pulse (length of the physical sector) is decided by multiple of  
20MHz free running frequency. This clock is not equal to the interval of the byte clock for  
each zone. Therefore, the physical sector length cannot be described with a byte length.  
Figure 3.4 Track format  
(2)  
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.  
At the head switching location in a cylinder, the first logical data block in track t + 1 is  
allocated at the sector position which locates the track skew behind the sector position of the  
last logical data block sector in track t.  
At the cylinder switching location, like the head switching location, the first logical data block  
in a cylinder is allocated at the sector position which locates the cylinder skew behind the last  
logical sector position in the preceding cylinder. The last logical sector in the cylinder is  
allocated when formatting, and is an unused spare sector.  
3 - 6  
C141-E064-03EN  
Figure 3.5 Track skew/cylinder skew  
The number of physical sectors (track skew factor and cylinder skew factor) corresponding to  
the skew time varies depending on the logical data block length because the track skew and  
the cylinder skew are managed for individual sectors. The IDD automatically determines  
appropriate values for the track skew factor and the cylinder skew factor according to the  
specified logical data block length. The value can be read out by the MODE SENSE or  
MODE SENSE EXTENDED command after the track has been formatted.

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.  
[Number of sectors of each zone] = [number of sectors per track ´ number of tracks (heads) –  
number of alternate spare sectors per cylinder] ´ [number of cylinders in the zone]  
[Formatted capacity] = [total of sectors of all zones] – [number of sectors per track in last zone  
´ number of tracks (heads) ´ number of alternate cylinders] ¸ [number of physical sectors in  
logical block] ´ [logical data block length]  
The following formula must be used when the number of logical data blocks are specified with  
the parameter in the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED command.  
[Format capacity] = [logical data block length] ´ [number of logical data blocks]  
The logical data block length, the maximum logical block address, and the number of the  
logical data blocks can be read out by a READ CAPACITY, MODE SENSE, or MODE  
SENSE EXTENDED command after initializing the disk medium.

3.2  
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. The INIT specifies the data to be accessed using the logical data block  
address of that data.  
The logical data block addressing is a function whereby individual data blocks are given  
addresses of serial binaries in each drive.  
(1)  
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) Numbers are assigned in ascending order to all sectors in the same track.  
2) By following step 1), numbers are assigned in ascending order of tracks to all sectors in  
each track in the same cylinder except the last track.  
3) By following step 1), numbers are assigned to all sectors in the last track except the spare  
sectors.  
4) After completing steps 1) through 3) for the same cylinder, this allocation is repeated from  
track 0 in the next cylinder and on to the last cylinder (cylinder p-q in Figure 3.1) except  
for the alternate cylinders in ascending order of cylinder numbers.  
When the logical data block is allocated, some sectors (track skew and cylinder skew) shown  
in Figure 3.5 are provided to avoid waiting for one turn involving head and cylinder switching  
at the location where the track or the cylinder is physically switched.  
See Subsection 3.3.2 for defective/alternate block treatment and the logical data block  
allocation method in case of defective sectors exist on the disk.  
(2)  
Alternate area  
Alternate areas in the user space (spare sectors in the cylinder and alternate cylinders) are not  
included in the above logical data block addresses. Access to sectors which are allocated as an  
alternate block in the alternate area is made automatically by means of IDD sector slip  
treatment or alternate block treatment (explained in Subsection 3.3.2), so the user does not  
have to worry about accessing the alternate area. The user cannot access with specifying the  
data block on the alternate area explicitly.  
C141-E064-03EN  
3 - 11  
3.3  
Defect Management  
Defect list  
3.3.1  
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. The defects in this list are  
permanent, so the INIT must execute the alternate block allocation using this list when  
initializing the disk.  
D list (Data defect list): This list consists of defect location information specified in a  
FORMAT UNIT command by the INIT at the initialization of the disk. This information  
is recorded in the system space of the disk drive as the G list. To execute the alternate  
block allocation, the FORMAT UNIT command must be specified.  
G list (Growth defect list): This list consists of defective logical data block location  
information specified in a REASSIGN BLOCKS command by the INIT, information on  
defective logical data blocks assigned alternate blocks by means of IDD automatic  
alternate block allocation, information specified as the D list, and information generated as  
the C list. They are recorded in the system space on the disk drive.  
The INIT can read out the contents of the P and G lists by the READ DEFECT DATA command.  
3.3.2  
Alternate block allocation  
The alternate data block is allocated to a defective data block (= sectors) in defective sector  
units by means of the defect management method inside the IDD.  
The INIT can access all logical data blocks in the user space, as long as there is no error.  
Spare sectors to which alternate blocks are allocated can be provided in either "spare sectors in  
a cylinder" or "alternate cylinders". See Subsection 3.1.2 for details.  
The INIT can specify the size and area for spare sectors by the MODE SELECT command at  
the time of the initialization of the disk.  
Both of the following are applicable to the alternate block allocation.  
·
·
Sector slip treatment: Defective sectors are skipped and the logical data block  
corresponding to those sectors is allocated to the next physical sectors. This treatment is  
made on the same cylinder as the defective sector's and is effective until all spare sectors in  
that cylinder are used up.  
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.  
3 - 12  
C141-E064-03EN  
The alternate block allocation is executed by the FORMAT UNIT command, the REASSIGN  
BLOCKS command, or the automatic alternate block allocation. Refer to OEM Manual–SCSI  
Logical Specifications–for details of specifications on these commands. The logical data  
block is allocated to the next physically continued sectors after the above sector slip treatment  
is made. On the other hand, the logical data block is allocated to spare sectors which are not  
physically consecutive to the adjacent logical data blocks. If a command which processes  
several logical data blocks is specified, the IDD processes those blocks in ascending order of  
logical data block.  
(1)  
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 cylinder are used up. When they are used up, unused spare sectors in the alternate  
cylinder are allocated to the subsequent sectors in the cylinder by means of alternate sector  
treatment. Figure 3.7 is examples of the alternate block allocation during the FORMAT UNIT  
command execution.

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. If a  
defective data block is detected during the check, the IDD allocates the alternate block to the  
defective data block. This alternate block allocation is made by means of alternate sector  
treatment only like processing by the REASSIGN BLOCKS command even if unused spare  
sectors exists in the same cylinder.  
3 - 14  
C141-E064-03EN  
(2)  
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. However, the alternate  
block is allocated to unused spare sectors in the alternate cylinder when all spare sectors in the  
cylinder are used up.  
Figure 3.8 is examples of the alternate block allocation by the REASSIGN BLOCKS  
command.

C141-E064-03EN

(3)  
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. This  
allocation method is the same as with the REASSIGN BLOCKS command (alternate sector  
treatment).  
IMPORTANT  
Automatic alternate block allocation is made only once during the  
execution of one command. If second defective block is detected,  
the alternate block assignment processing for the first defective  
block is executed but the alternate block assignment processing  
for the second one is not executed and the command being  
executed terminates. However, the initiator can recover the twice  
error by issuing the same command again.  
When an error is detected in a data block in the data area,  
recovery data is rewritten and verified in automatic alternate  
block allocation during the execution of the READ or READ  
EXTENDED command. Alternate block allocation will not be  
made for the data block if recovery is successful.  
Example: Even if the data error which is recoverable by the  
WRITE LONG command is simulated, automatic  
alternate block allocation will not be made for the data  
block.

Make a suitable air flow so that the DE surface temperature does not exceed 55°C.  
CAUTION  
Heat  
An air flow with an adequate wind velocity must be maintained to  
deal with much heat generated from the MAF3364xx.  
Reference value: An air flow with a wind velocity of more than  
0.5 m/s is required in an environment at 40°C,  
and an air flow with a wind velocity of more  
than 1.0m/s in an environment at 45°C (Center  
of DE cover 55°C).  
·
Cool the PCA side especially with air circulation inside the cabinet. Confirm the cooling  
effect by measuring temperature of specific ICs and the DE. These measurement results  
should be within a criteria listed in Table 4.1.

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.  
Leak magnetic flux  
The IDD uses a high performance magnet to achieve a high speed seek. Therefore, a leak  
magnetic flux at surface of the IDD is large. Mount the IDD so that the leak magnetic flux  
does not affect to near equipment.  
(7)  
Others  
A hole or screw portion as shown in Figure 4.12 is used for adjusting air pressure balance  
between inside and outside the DE. Do not fill with a seal or label.  
Seals on the DE prevent the DE inside from the dust. Do not damage or peel off labels.

Power Supply Requirements  
(1)  
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. (For other  
requirements, see Items (4) and (5) below.)

Power on/off sequence  
a) The order of the power on/off sequence of +5 VDC and +12 VDC, supplied to the IDD,  
does not matter.  
b) In a system which uses the terminating resistor power supply signal (TERMPWR) on the  
SCSI bus, the requirements for +5 VDC given in Figure 4.14 must be satisfied between the  
IDD and at least one of the SCSI devices supplying power to that signal.  
C141-E064-03EN

Figure 4.14 Power on/off sequence (1)  
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 4.15 must be satisfied  
between the IDD and the SCSI device with the terminating resistor circuit.

d) Between the IDD and other SCSI devices on the SCSI bus, the +5 VDC power on/off  
sequence is as follows:  
·
In a system with its all SCSI devices designed to prevent noise from leaking to the  
SCSI bus when power is turned on or off, the power sequence does not matter if the  
requirement in b) or c) is satisfied.  
·
In a system containing an SCSI device which is not designed to prevent noise from  
leaking to the SCSI bus, the requirement given in Figure 4.16 must be satisfied  
between that SCSI device and the IDD.

C141-E064-03EN  
(4)  
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. For how to set a spindle motor start control mode, see  
Subsection 5.3.2.  
a) Issue START/STOP commands at more than 12-second intervals to start the spindle  
motors. For details of this command specification, refer to SCSI Logical Interface  
Specifications.  
b) Turn on the +12 VDC power in the power supply unit at more than 12-second intervals to  
start the spindle motors sequentially.  
(5)  
Power supply to SCSI terminating resistor  
If power for the terminating resistor is supplied from the IDD to other SCSI devices through  
the SCSI bus, the current-carrying capacity of the +5 VDC power supply line to the IDD must  
be designed with considering of an increase of up to 200 mA.  
A method of power supply to the terminating resistor is selected with a setting terminal on the  
IDD. See Subsection 5.3.2 for this selection.  
For the electrical condition of supplying power to the terminating resistor, refer to Subsection  
1.4.2 in SCSI Physical Interface Specifications.  
(6)  
Noise filter  
To eliminate AC line noise, a noise filter should be installed at the AC input terminal on the  
IDD power supply unit. The specification of this noise filter is as follows:  
·
·
Attenuation: 40 dB or more at 10 MHz  
Circuit construction: T-configuration as shown in Figure 4.17 is recommended.

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.  
5.1  
Notes on Handling Drives  
The items listed in the specifications in Table 2.1 must be strictly observed.  
(1)  
General notes  
a) Do not give the drive shocks or vibrations exceeding the value defined in the standard  
because it may cause critical damage to the drive. Especially be careful when unpacking.  
b) Do not leave the drive in a dirty or contaminated environment.  
c) Since static discharge may destroy the CMOS semiconductors in the drive, note the  
following after unpacking:  
·
·
Use an antistatic mat and body grounding when handling the drive.  
Hold the DE when handling the drive. Do not touch PCAs except for setting.  
(2)  
Unpackaging  
a) Use a flat work area. Check that the "This Side Up" sign side is up. Handle the package  
on soft material such as a rubber mat, not on hard material such as a desk.  
b) Be careful not to give excess pressure to the internal unit when removing cushions.  
C141-E064-03EN  
5 - 1  
c) Be careful not to give excess pressure to the PCAs and interface connector when removing  
the drive from the antistatic bag.  
d) Do not remove the sealing label or cover of the DE and screws.  
Installation  
(3)  
a) Do not attempt to connect or disconnect connections when power is on. The only pin  
settings that may be altered are pins 9, 10 (Write Protect) in CN2.  
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.  
(4)  
Packaging  
a) Store the drive in an antistatic vinyl bag with a desiccant (silica gel).  
b) It is recommended to use the same cushions and packages as those at delivery. If those at  
delivery cannot be used, use a package with shock absorption so that the drive is free from  
direct shocks. In this case, fully protect the PCAs and interface connector so that they are  
not damaged.  
c) Indicate "This Side Up" and "Handle With Care" on the outside of the package so that it is  
not turned over.  
(5)  
Delivery  
a) When delivering the drive, provide packaging and do not turn it over.  
b) Minimize the delivery distance after unpacking and avoid shocks and vibrations with  
cushions. For the carrying direction at delivery, use one of the mount allowable directions  
in Subsection 4.2.2 (vertical direction is recommended).  
(6)  
Storage  
a) Provide vaporproof packaging for storage.  
b) The storage environment must satisfy the requirements specified in Subsection 2.1.3 when  
the drive is not operating.  
c) To prevent condensation, avoid sudden changes in temperature.

Setting of the SCSI interface operation mode  
By establishing a short-circuit between the 15 and 16 CN2 setting terminals, the SCSI  
interface operation mode is forcibly set to the single-ended mode. When this setup terminal is  
open, the IDD automatically identifies the DIFFSNS signal level on the SCSI bus and the IDD  
SCSI interface operation mode is set to the operation mode.

order to guarantee the physical level of the SCSI interface’s upper bus (DB8-15, P1) inside the  
IDD only when the top-level bus (DB8-15, P1) for the IDD SCSI interface is not connected to  
the external part of the IDD.

Mounting procedures  
Since mounting the drive depends on the system cabinet structure, determine the work  
procedures considering the requirements specific to each system. The general mounting  
method and items to be checked are shown below.  
See Subsection 4.2 for the details of requirements for installing the IDD.  
1) With a system to which an external operator panel is mounted, if it is difficult to access the  
connector after the drive is mounted on the system cabinet, connect the external operator  
panel cable before mounting the drive.  
2) Fix the drive in the system cabinet with four mounting screws as follows:  
·
·
·
The drive has 10 mounting holes (both sides: 3 ´ 2, bottom: 4). Fix the drive by  
using four mounting holes of both sides or the bottom. (See Figure 4.9)  
Use mounting screws whose lengths inside the drive mounting frame are 4 mm or less  
when the screws are tightened (see Figure 4.8).  
When mounting the drive, be careful not to damage parts on the PCAs.  
3) Check to ensure that the DE is not touching the frame on the system side after tightening  
the screws. At least 2.5mm of clearance is required between the DE and the frame.  
(Indicated in Figure 4.8)  
4) When an electric driver is in use, less than low-impact device specifications must be used.

Connecting Cables  
Connect the IDD and system with the following cables. See Section 4.4 for further details of  
the requirements for IDD connector positions and connecting cables.  
·
·
·
Power cable  
SCSI cable  
External operator panel cable (if required)  
The general procedures and notes on connecting cables are described below. Especially, pay  
attention to the inserting direction of each cable connector.  
CAUTION  
Damage  
1. Check that system power is off before connecting or disconnecting  
cables.  
2. Do not connect or disconnect cables when power is on.  
a) Connect power cable.  
b) Connect the external operator panel (if required for system).  
c) Connect the SCSI cable.  
d) Fix the cables so that they do not touch the DE and PCAs, or so that the smooth flow of  
the cooling air in the system cabinet is assured.  
CAUTION  
Damage  
1. 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.  
When the recommended parts listed in Table 4.2 are used, inserting  
the cables in the wrong direction can be prevented.  
2. To connect SCSI devices, be careful of the connection position of the  
cable. Check that the SCSI device with the terminating resistor is the  
last device connected to the cable.

5.6  
Confirming Operations after Installation and Preparation for use  
Confirming initial operations  
5.6.1  
This section describes the operation check procedures after power is turned on. Since the  
initial operation of the IDD depends on the setting of the motor start mode, check the initial  
operation by either of the following procedures.  
(1)  
Initial operation in the case of setting so that motor starts at powering-on  
a) When power is turned on, the LED blinks an instant and the IDD executes initial self-  
diagnosis.  
b) If an error is detected in the initial self-diagnosis, the LED blinks periodically.  
Remark:  
The spindle motor may or may not start rotating in this stage.  
c) When the IDD status is idle, the LED remains off (when the initiator accesses the IDD via  
the SCSI bus, the LED lights).  
(2)  
Initial operation in the case of setting so that motor starts with START/STOP command  
a) When power is turned on, the LED blinks an instant and the IDD executes initial self-  
diagnosis.  
b) If an error is detected in the initial self-diagnosis, the LED blinks.  
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 60 seconds after the START/STOP UNIT  
command is issued. At this time, the IDD reads "system information" from the system  
space on the disk.  
e) The LED blinks during command execution.  
(3)  
Check items at illegal operation  
a) Check that cables are mounted correctly.  
b) Check that power and voltages are supplied correctly (measure them with the IDD power  
connection position).  
c) Check the setting of each setting terminal. Note that the initial operation depends on the  
setting of the motor start mode and LED display requirements.  
5 - 12  
C141-E064-03EN  
d) If an error is detected in initial self-diagnosis the LED blinks. In this case, it is  
recommended to issue the REQUEST SENSE command from the initiator (host system) to  
obtain information (sense data) for error analysis.  
IMPORTANT  
The LED lights during the IDD is executing a command.  
However, in same commands, the lighting time is only an instant.  
Therefore, it seems that the LED blinks or the LED remains off.  
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.  
(1)  
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). Figure 5.4  
shows the recommended checking procedure for the mode that the motor starts when power is  
turned on. Figure 5.5 shows for the mode that the motor starts by the START/STOP  
command. In these recommended checking procedures, following items are checked.  
Note:  
Following steps a) to e) correspond to a) to e) in Figures 5.4 and 5.5.  
a) Issue the TEST UNIT READY command and check that the IDD is connected  
correctly to the SCSI bus and the initial operation after power is turned on ended  
normally. The command issue period of the TEST UNIT READY command shall be  
more than 20 ms.  
b)  
To control starting of the spindle motor from the host system, issue the  
START/STOP UNIT command to start the spindle motor.  
c) Check the SCSI bus operations with the WRITE BUFFER and READ BUFFER  
commands. Use data whose data bus bits change to 0 or 1 at least once. (Example:  
Data with an increment pattern of X'00' to X'FF')  
d) Start the IDD self-diagnostic test with the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command and check  
the basic operations of the controller and disk drive.

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.  
The terminating resistor is mounted on both ends of the cable.  
Power is connected to the terminating resistor.  
c) Check the setting of the terminals. Note that the checking procedure of SCSI connection  
differs depending on the setting of the motor start mode and UNIT ATTENTION report  
mode.  
5.6.3  
Formatting  
Since the disk drive is formatted with a specific (default) data format for each model (part  
number) when shipped from the factory, the disk need not be formatted (initialized) when it is  
installed in the system.  
However, when the system needs data attributes different from the default format, all sides of  
the disk must be formatted (initialized) according to the procedures below.  
The user can change the following data attributes at initialization:  
·
·
·
Logical data block length  
Number of logical data blocks or number of cylinders in the user space  
Alternate spare area size  
This section outlines the formatting at installation. Refer to Chapters 3 and 5 of SCSI Logical  
Interface Specifications for further details.  
(1)  
MODE SELECT/MODE SELECT EXTENDED command  
Specify the format attributes on the disk with the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT  
EXTENDED command. The parameters are as follows.  
a. Block descriptor  
Specify the size (byte length) of the logical data block in the "data block length" field. To  
explicitly specify the number of logical data blocks, specify the number in the "number of  
data blocks" field. Otherwise, specify 0 in "number of data blocks" field. In this case, the  
number of logical data blocks after initialization is determined by the value specified in the  
format parameter (page code = 3) and drive parameter (page code = 4).  
5 - 16  
C141-E064-01EN  
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.  
c. Drive parameter (page code = 4)  
To explicitly specify the number of cylinders in the user space, specify the number in the  
"number of cylinders" field. Note that the number of alternate cylinders specified by the  
format parameter (page code = 3) is included in the number of cylinders in the user space.  
When the number of cylinders need not be specified, specify 0 or the default value in the  
"number of cylinders" field. In this case, either of the smaller value between the number  
of cylinders to allocate the number of logical data blocks specified in the "number of data  
blocks" field of the block descriptor or the maximum number of cylinders that can be used  
as the user space on the disk drive is allocated in the user space. When 0 is specified both  
in the "number of cylinders" field and the "number of data blocks" field of the block  
descriptor, the maximum number of cylinders that can be used as the user space on the  
disk drive is allocated in the user space.  
(2)  
FORMAT UNIT command  
Initialize all sides of the disk with the FORMAT UNIT command. The FORMAT UNIT  
command initializes all sides of the disk using the P lists, verifies data blocks after  
initialization, and allocates an alternate block for a defect block detected with verification.  
With initialization, the value "00" is written into all bytes of all logical data blocks. Only the  
position information of defect blocks detected with verification is registered in the G list. The  
specifications are as follows:  
a. Specifying CDB  
Specify 0 for the "FmtData" bit and the "CmpLst" bit on CDB, 000 for the "Defect List  
Format" field, and data pattern written into the data block at initialization for the  
"initializing data pattern" field.  
b. Format parameter  
When the values in step a. are specified with CDB, the format parameter is not needed.  
C141-E064-03EN  
5 - 17  
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"  
bit on CDB to save the specified parameter value on the disk. This enables the IDD to operate  
by using the parameter value set by the user when power is turned on again. When the system  
has more than one INIT, different parameter value can be set for each INIT.  
When the parameters are not set or saved with the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT  
EXTENDED command, the IDD sets the default values for parameters and operates when  
power is turned on or after reset. Although the IDD operations are assured with the default  
values, the operations are not always optimal for the system. To obtain the best performance,  
set the parameters in consideration of the system requirements specific to the user.  
This section outlines the parameter setting procedures. Refer to Chapter 3 of SCSI Logical  
Interface Specifications for further details of the MODE SELECT and MODE SELECT  
EXTENDED commands and specifying the parameters.  
IMPORTANT  
1. At factory shipment of the IDD, the saving operation for the MODE  
SELECT parameter is not executed. So, if the user does not set  
parameters, the IDD operates according to the default value of each  
parameter  
2. The model select parameter is not saved for each SCSI ID of but as  
the common parameter for all IDs. In the multi-INIT System,  
parameter setting cannot be changed for each INIT.  
3. Once parameters are saved, the saved value is effective as long as  
next saving operation is executed from the INIT. For example, even if  
the initialization of the disk is performed by the FORMAT UNIT  
command, the saved value of parameters described in this section is  
not affected.  
4. When the IDD, to which the saving operation has been executed on a  
system, is connected to another system, the user must pay attention to  
that the IDD operates according to the saved parameter value if the  
saving operation is not executed at installation.  
5 - 18  
C141-E064-03EN  
5. 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. The INIT can  
change the parameter value temporary (actively) at any timing by  
issuing the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED  
command with specifying "0" to the SP bit in the CDB.

2. The user also can arbitrarily specify parameters other than the above. However, it is  
recommended to use the default setting in normal operations.  
(2)  
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.  
Refer to Chapter 2 of SCSI Logical Interface Specifications for further details.  
a. Disconnection/reconnection parameters (page code = 2)

specified.  
2. Determine the parameter values in consideration of the following performance factors  
of the system:  
·
·
·
Time required for reconnection processing  
Average data transfer rate of the SCSI bus  
Average amount of processing data specified with a command  
Refer to Chapter 2 of SCSI Logical Interface Specifications for how to obtain the  
rough calculation values for the parameter values to be set. It is recommended to  
evaluate the validity of the specified values by measuring performance in an operation  
status under the average system load requirements.

Notes:  
1. When Read-Ahead caching operations are disabled by the caching parameter, these  
parameter settings have no meaning except write cache feature.  
2. Determine the parameters in consideration of how the system accesses the disk.  
When the access form is not determined uniquely because of the processing method,  
the parameters can be re-set actively.  
3. For sequential access, the effective access rate can be increased by enabling Read-  
Ahead caching operations and Write Cache feature.

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. This section describes the general  
procedures and notes on dismounting the drive.  
It is recommended before dismounting the drive to make sure the spindle motor completely  
stops after power was turned off.  
a) Remove the power cable.  
b) Remove the SCSI cable.  
c) When the external operator panel is mounted, remove the cable. If it is difficult to access  
the connector position, the cable may be removed after step e).  
d) Remove the DC ground cable.  
e) Remove the four mounting screws securing the drive, then remove the drive from the  
system cabinet.  
f) To store or transport the drive, keep it in an antistatic bag and provide packing (see Section  
5.1).

DIAGNOSTICS AND MAINTENANCE  
6.1 Diagnostics  
6.2 Maintenance Information  
This chapter describes diagnostics and maintenance information.  
6.1  
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. For a general  
check of the IDD including the operations of the host system and interface, use a test program  
that runs on the host system (see Subsection 6.1.2).  
Table 6.1  
Self-diagnostic functions  
C141-E064-03EN  
6 - 1  
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.). The positioning operation is checked with  
confirming the physical address information by reading the ID field (LBA) from the data  
block on track 0 after completion of the seek operation to the target cylinder.  
c. Write/read test  
This test check the write/read function by using the Internal test space of the disk drive.  
(1)  
Initial self-diagnostics  
When power is turned on, the IDD starts initial self-diagnostics. The initial self-diagnostics  
checks the basic operations of the hardware functions.  
If an error is detected in the initial self-diagnostics, the LED on the drive front panel blinks. In  
this status, the IDD posts the CHECK CONDITION status to all I/O operation requests other  
than the REQUEST SENSE command. When the CHECK CONDITION status is posted, the  
INIT should issue the REQUEST SENSE command. The sense data obtained with the  
REQUEST SENSE command details the error information detected with the initial self-  
diagnostics.  
Even if CHECK CONDITION status and sense data are posted, the LED continues blinking.  
Only when the SCSI bus is reset, the BUS DEVICE RESET message is issued, or the power is  
turned off or re-turned on, this status can be cleared. When this status is cleared, the IDD  
executes the initial self-diagnosis again.  
6 - 2  
C141-E064-03EN  
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. The executable command under the not ready state is  
executed in parallel with the initial self-diagnostics, or is queued by the command queuing  
feature and is executed after completion of the initial self-diagnostics. When the command  
that comes under the exception condition of the command queuing is issued at that time, the  
IDD posts the BUSY status for the command. When the error is detected during the initial  
self-diagnostics, the CHECK CONDITION status is posted for all commands that were  
stacked during the initial self-diagnostics. For the command execution condition, refer to  
Section 1.4 and Subsection 1.7.4 in SCSI Logical Interface Specifications.  
(2)  
Online self-diagnostics (SEND DIAGNOSTIC command)  
The INIT can make the IDD execute self-diagnostics by issuing the SEND DIAGNOSTIC  
command.  
The INIT specifies the execution of self-diagnostics by setting 1 for the SelfTest bit on the CDB in  
the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command and specifies the test contents with the UnitOfl bit.  
When the UnitOfl bit on the CDB is set to 0, the IDD executes the hardware function test only  
once. When UnitOfl bit is set to 1, the IDD executes the hardware function test, seek  
(positioning) test, and data write/read test for the Internal test space only once.  
a. Error recovery during self-diagnostics  
During the self-diagnostics specified by the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command, when the  
recoverable error is detected during the seek or the write/read test, the IDD performs the  
error recovery according to the MODE SELECT parameter value (read/write error recovery  
parameter, additional error recovery parameter) which the INIT specifies at the time of  
issuing the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command.  
PER  
0
Operation of self-diagnostics  
The self-diagnostics continues when the error is recovered. The self-  
diagnostics terminates normally so far as the unrecoverable error is not  
detected.  
1
The self-diagnostics continues when the error is recovered. If the  
unrecoverable error is not detected, the consecutive tests are executed till  
last test but the self-diagnostics terminates with error. The error  
information indicates that of the last recovered error.  
b. Reporting result of self-diagnostics and error indication  
When all specified self-diagnostics terminate normally, the IDD posts the GOOD status for  
the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command.  
C141-E064-03EN  
6 - 3  
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.  
The INIT should issue the REQUEST SENSE command when the CHECK CONDITION  
status is posted. The sense data collected by the REQUEST SENSE command indicates  
the detail information of the error detected in the self-diagnostics.  
The IDD status after the CHECK CONDITION status is posted differs according to the  
type of the detected error.  
a) When an error is detected in the seek or write/read test, the subsequent command can  
be accepted correctly. When the command other than the REQUEST SENSE and NO  
OPERATION is issued from the same INIT, the error information (sense data) is  
cleared.  
b) When an error is detected in the hardware function test, the IDD posts the CHECK  
CONDITION status for all I/O operation request except the REQUEST SENSE  
command. The error status is not cleared and the LED on the front panel continues  
blinking even if the error information (sense data) is read. Only when the SCSI bus is  
reset, the BUS DEVICE RESET message is issued or the power is turned off or re-  
turned on, the status can be cleared. When this status is cleared, the IDD executes the  
initial self-diagnostics again (see item (1)).  
Refer to Chapter 3 of SCSI Logical Interface Specifications for further details of the  
command specifications.  
CAUTION  
Data loss  
When the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command terminates with the  
CHECK CONDITION status, the INIT must collect the error  
information using the REQUEST SENSE command. The  
RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS command cannot read out the  
error information detected in the self-diagnostics.  
6.1.2  
Test programs  
The basic operations of the IDD itself can be checked with the self-diagnostic function.  
However, to check general operations such as the host system and interface operations in a  
status similar to the normal operation status, a test program that runs on the host system must  
be used.  
The structure and functions of the test program depend on the user system requirements.  
Generally, it is recommended to provide a general input/output test program that includes  
SCSI devices connected to the SCSI bus and input/output devices on other I/O ports.  
Including the following test items in the test program is recommended to test the IDD  
functions generally.

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).  
Random/sequential read test  
The positioning (seek) operation and read operation are tested in random access and sequential  
access modes with the READ, READ EXTENDED, or VERIFY command.  
Write/read test  
By using a data block in the internal test space, the write/read test can be executed with an  
arbitrary pattern for a disk drive in which user data is stored.

Maintenance requirements  
Preventive maintenance  
Preventive maintenance such as replacing air filters is not required.  
CAUTION  
Damage  
Do not open the DE in the field because it is completely sealed.  
(2)  
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  
DE surface temperature: 56°C and more  
5 years  
4 years  
3 years  
strengthen cooling power so that DE  
surface temperature is 55°C or less.  
Even if the IDD is used intermittently, the longest service life is 5 years.  
C141-E064-03EN  
6 - 5  
Note:  
The "average DE surface temperature" means the average temperature at the DE surface  
throughout the year when the IDD is operating.

(4)  
Parts that can be replaced in the field  
The PCA cannot be replaced in the field. The DE cannot be replaced in the field.  
Service system and repairs  
Fujitsu has the service system and repair facility for the disk drive. Contact Fujitsu  
representative to submit information for replacing or repairing the disk drive. Generally, the  
following information must be included:  
a) IDD model, part number (P/N), revision number, serial number (S/N), and date of  
manufacturing  
b) Error status  
·
·
·
Date when the error occurred  
System configuration  
Environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, and voltage)  
c) Error history  
d) Error contents  
·
·

Other error analysis information  
CAUTION  
Data loss  
Save data stored on the disk drive before requesting repair.  
Fujitsu does not assume responsibility if data is destroyed during  
servicing or repair.

C141-E064-03EN  
See Section 5.1 for notes on packing and handling when returning the disk drive.  
6.2.2  
Revision numbers  
The revision number of the disk drive is represented with a letter and a number indicated on  
the revision label attached to the DE. Figure 6.1 shows the revision label format.  
Machine revision  
Figure 6.1 Revision label

Indicating revision number at factory shipment  
When the disk drive is shipped from the factory, the revision number is indicated by deleting  
numbers in the corresponding letter line up to the corresponding number with = (see Figure  
6.2).  
Changing revision number in the field  
To change the revision number because parts are replaced or other modification is applied in  
the field, the new level is indicated by enclosing the corresponding number in the  
corresponding letter line with (see Figure 6.2).  
C141-E064-03EN  
6 - 7  
IMPORTANT  
When the revision number is changed after the drive is shipped  
from the factory, Fujitsu issues "Engineering Change  
Request/Notice" in which the new revision number is indicated.  
When the user changes the revision number, the user should  
update the revision label as described in item (2) after applying  
the modification.
