Device damage:  
Be sure to turn on the power supply before inserting your  
cartridge for the first time. It releases the device from  
transport protection and enables you to insert the cartridge.  
The device may be damaged if you insert the cartridge  
without releasing the protection. From the next time, you  
don't need to turn on the power supply beforehand.  
Before moving the drive, remove the optical disk cartridge. If  
the drive is moved with the optical disk cartridge loaded in it,  
the head may move back and forth in the drive to damage the  
head or disk and reading the data may fail.  
Make sure that the system power is off.

CHAPTER 1 General Description  
1.1 Features  
1.2 Drive Configuration  
This chapter describes the features and configuration of the optical disk drives.  
The MCJ3230SS (hereafter, the optical disk drive) is the successor model to the  
MCE3130SS. This optical disk drive, which maintains compatibility with the  
MCE3130SS, offers high performance and high capacity. Supporting 2.3 GB of  
storage capacity, this device delivers superior performance with a 5,455-rpm  
rotational speed, and supports security functions.  
The optical disk drive is high-performance, 90 mm (3.5-inch) commutative  
rewritable optical disk drive which incorporates an SCSI controller.  
The interface connecting the optical disk drive to the host system complies with  
the SCSI-2.  
The flexibility and expandability through SCSI I/F, the high performance of the  
optical disk drive, and the drive's commands set enable the user to construct high-  
reliability, high-performance disk subsystems with advanced functions and large-  
scale storage.  
C156-E224-01EN  
1-1  
General Description  
1.1 Features  
This section describes the following drive features:  
Performance  
Reliability  
Maintainability/operability  
Adaptability  
Interface  
1.1.1 Performance  
(1) Half-height standard 90 mm (3.5-inch) size (25.4 mm height)  
The SCSI controller can be connected to the system SCSI bus. The controller  
meets the specifications of the standard 25.4 mm height 90 mm  
(3.5-inch) fixed disk drive form factor.  
(2) 2.3 GB capacity  
The optical disk drive conforms to the 2.3 GB GIGAMO standard. It also  
supports read and write accesses to 128 MB, 230 MB, 540 MB, 640 MB, and 1.3  
GB disks.  
(3) High-speed data transfer  
The optical disk drive supports a disk media rotational speed of 3,637 rpm when  
using 2.3 GB disks. The device supports a rotational speed of 5,455 rpm (ZCAV)  
when using a 128 MB, 230 MB, 540 MB, or 640 MB disks. When using 1.3 GB  
disks, the optical disk drive supports ZCAV mode with a rotational speed of 3,637  
rpm, and ZCLV mode that controls the speed at three levels: 3,637/4, 138/4,801  
rpm, in accordance with the position of the optical head.  
In ZCLV mode, the optical disk drive speeds up by detecting continuous accessing  
of inner disk tracks to prevent a reduction of inner disk rotation.  
For random accesses, the optical disk drive switches to ZCAV mode that is fixed  
to 3,637 rpm to prevent access performance degradation.  
In the disk unit, high-speed data transfers at rates of 4.62 to 8.26 MB/s (2.3 GB)  
are realized. The maximum data transfer rate on the SCSI bus is 20 MB/s in  
synchronous transfer mode.  
The SCSI bus high-speed data transfer capacity can be used effectively through  
the optical disk unit's large capacity data buffer.  
1-2  
C156-E224-01EN  
1.1 Features  
(4) High-speed mean seek time  
This drive features a linear voice-coil motor for high-speed head positioning. The  
average seek time is the average of 1,000 random seeks and is 19 ms. (However,  
this does not include command overhead or address check.)  
(5) Compatible with international standards (media interchangeability)  
90 mm (3.5 inch) type optical disks as well as ISO standards compatible 128 MB,  
230 MB, 540 MB and 640 MB format optical disk media can be used in the optical  
disk unit.  
(6) Direct-overwrite medium support  
The drive can use an optic modulation direct-overwrite disk that does not perform  
an erase operation; 230-MB disk, 540-MB disk with the ISO standard.  
(7) Dust resistance  
The optical disk unit provides low-power consumption, eliminating the need for a  
cooling fan. The top of the cartridge is sealed with film, and the bottom of the  
optical disk unit is sealed with sheet metal, providing protection that is not  
complicated.  
The optical disk drive needs class 5 millions or less of the dust particles.  
(8) Lower power consumption  
The power consumption of the optical disk drive is 6.5 W (These power  
consumption values are typical values during read and write operation.) These  
drives do not use a fan.  
The minimum power consumption is 1.0 W (typical value) during power save.  
(9) Automatic spindle stop function  
If access is not made within a certain time, this function stops disk rotation to  
minimize dust accumulation on the disk. This function can be set that time by the  
MODE SELECT command.  
1.1.2 Reliability  
(1) Mean time between failures (MTBF)  
This drive features a 120,000 hour MTBF.  
(2) Error recovery  
For the error depending on the optical disk drive, recovery process is made by a  
suitable retry. This drive features Reed-Solomon error correction (ECC) to assure  
error-free operation.  
C156-E224-01EN  
1-3  
General Description  
(3) Automatic allocation of alternate data blocks  
This drive features a function which automatically allocates alternate data blocks  
to defective data blocks detected while data is being read from or written to an  
optical disk.  
1.1.3 Maintainability/operability  
(1) Diagnostic function  
This drive has a diagnostic function to check optical disk drive operations. The  
diagnostic function facilitates test and restoration.  
(2) Five-year service life (no overhaul)  
This drive will not require overhaul within the first five years of installation if  
appropriately handled, maintained, and cleaned as recommended.  
1.1.4 Adaptability  
(1) Wide operating environment  
An LSI circuits reduce power consumption. This drive features a wide operating  
environment (5 to 45°C, general office environment). Dust particles are class 5  
millions or less.  
(2) Vibration resistance (shock resistance)  
Rubber vibration isolators protect the drive against external shock or vibration.  
(3) Safety standards  
UL1950 (U.S.A., safety)  
CDRH class 1 (U.S.A., laser)  
CSA C22.2 No. 950 (Canada, safety)  
EN60950 (Europe, safety)  
EN60825 Class 1 (Europe, laser)  
(4) Various radio wave standards  
This optical disk device is installed in a host system, and meets the following  
standards:  
EN55022 class B, EN55024 (European wave standards)  
AS/NZS3548 class B (Australian wave standards)  
CNS13438 (Taiwanese radio interference standard)  
1-4  
C156-E224-01EN  
1.1 Features  
1.1.5 Interface  
(1) Conformance to SCSI-2  
This optical disk device supports the basic functions of SCSI-2.  
SCSI commands enable data manipulation using logical block addresses that are  
independent of the physical attributes of the optical disk device, enabling software  
flexibility in terms of system expansion in the future.  
(2) Continuous block processing  
Logical block addresses are used for data block addressing. Without consideration  
of the physical attributes of track boundaries, the host can access data by  
specifying a block number in logically continuous data space.  
(3) Data buffer  
7,600 KB buffer is used to transfer data between the SCSI bus and disk. Since  
data is stored in this buffer, the host can execute input-output processing  
effectively by using the high-speed data transfer capability of the SCSI bus  
without regard to the data transfer rate of the optical disk drive.  
(4) Read-ahead cache feature  
The read-ahead cache feature enables high-speed sequential data access as  
follows:  
After executing a command to read data from the disk, the drive automatically  
reads the next data block and stores it in the data buffer (pre-reading). If the next  
command requests this data, the data is transferred from the buffer without another  
disk access.  
(5) Write cache feature  
When the host system issues the write command to the optical disk drive, a  
command complete is usually responded after completion of the write and verify  
operations. By using the write cache feature, a command complete is responded  
after completion of the data transfer to the data buffer without waiting the  
completion of the write and verify operations then the write and verify operations  
are made asynchronously with the interface operation. Therefore, the apparent  
write command processing time measured at the host system is reduced and the  
I/O performance of the host system is improved.  
The write cache feature is enabled or disabled by MODE SELECT command.  
C156-E224-01EN  
1-5  
General Description  
When the write cache feature is enabled, a write error is reported at  
the completion status of next command. At a system so that the host  
retries the command, a retry process may be failed.  
(6) Defective block slipping  
When a disk is initialized, logical data blocks are reallocated in a physical  
sequence by slipping defective data blocks. This enables high-speed continuous  
data block processing without rotational delay due to defective data blocks.  
(7) Device driver software  
The optical disk drive requires more extended processing time than conventional  
optical device drives because of higher density. Consequently, a processing time  
timeout when using the OS can occur and this requires special device driver  
software.

General Description  
1.2.2 Configuration  
Figure 1.3 shows the drive configuration.  
The drive consists of mechanical sections, a fixed optics section, actuator, and a  
control circuit section. The mechanical sections include the spindle motor,  
actuator section, bias magnet, and the cartridge folder vertical motion mechanism.  
The fixed optics section consists of the optical components, position detector, and  
LD controller.  
The control circuit sections include the drive control circuit section and SCSI  
controller section.

C156-E224-01EN  
1.2 Drive Configuration  
1.2.3 Mechanical sections  
(1) Optical disk cartridge load/eject  
The system includes a cartridge mechanism which lowers the optical disk cartridge  
and mounts (loads) it on the spindle motor automatically when the optical disk  
cartridge is fully inserted in the optical disk drive's disk slot, and a mechanism  
which automatically ejects the cartridge when the Eject button on the front panel is  
pressed.  
(2) Spindle motor  
Optical disk cartridge hubs are linked through magnetic clamps to minimize  
slippage between the spindle motor shaft and disk. The spindle motor is the direct  
drive type which rotates the disk at the same speed as the spindle motor shaft. A  
DC brushless spindle motor is used. The spindle motor rotates at 5,455 rpm  
0.1%.  
(3) Actuator section  
The positioner moves (seeks) a head actuator radically across the disk surface.  
The positioner is driven by a linear voice coil motor. A pulse-width modulation  
(PWM) is adopted as a driving system and realizes low power consumption and  
high-speed access.  
(4) Separate optical sections  
The optical head section is separated in such a way that the fixed optics section  
is separated from the moving optics section to minimize seek time and positioning  
error. (See Subsection 1.2.4 for the fixed optical section.) This reduces the weight  
of the moving parts.  
The fixed optics section consists of the laser diodes, collimator lens, and optical  
detector.  
The fixed optics section includes a laser diode for recording and playback, and  
transmits one laser beam to the head actuator.  
(5) Panel  
The central part of the panel is hollowed out deeply to provide pushing finger  
space for inserting the cartridge, thereby facilitating the insertion.  
The panel is also simply designed by making the eject button and LED light  
emitting part integral with each other.

1-9  
General Description  
1.2.4 Control circuit section  
Figure 1.4 is the block diagram of the control circuit section.  
Figure 1.4 Control circuit section block diagram  
The control circuit section is divided into two parts: a controller section which  
deals with control between the SCSI interface and drive interface, and a drive  
circuit section which controls the drive.  
(1) Controller circuit section  
The controller circuit's reliability is improved by large-scale integrated circuit  
technology. The high-speed microprocessor (MPU) handles SCSI interface  
control and drive control such as drive read-and-write control and single-beam  
control.  
(2) Drive circuit section  
The drive circuit section consists of the following circuits:  
Laser diode control circuit  
Signal reproduction circuit  
Servo/seek control circuit  
Rotation control circuit  
Drive miscellaneous control circuit  
1-10  
C156-E224-01EN  
1.2 Drive Configuration  
The DSP (digital signal processor) is used for the servo/seek control circuit to  
reduce the circuit amount, therefore this circuit is a simple configuration.  
The drive circuit section executes operations such as seek, erase, record, and  
playback while the MPU controls the focus-tracking of the beam.

This chapter describes environmental, mounting, power supply, and connection  
requirements.  
3.1 Environmental Requirements  
The environment in which these drives are installed must comply with the ambient  
environmental requirements defined in Subsection 2.1.3.  
3.1.1 Temperature measurement point  
When a drive is operating, the ambient temperature measured 3 cm from the base  
surface of the optical disk drive and the PCA unit surface must satisfy the  
environmental requirements specified in Subsection 2.1.3. For the temperature of  
each surface during operation, the contact temperature at each measurement point  
shown in Figure 3.1 must satisfy the requirements specified in Subsection 3.1.2.  
Low temperature burns: The surface temperatures of some ICs  
on the printed circuit board unit in the optical disk drive exceed  
55°C while operating. Be careful of low tenperature burns.

* Following procedure is for temperature measurement of inside cartridge.  
1) Make a hole for the thermocouple as shown in Figure 3.1.  
2) Disassemble the cartridge disk.  
3) Cut off a part of the partition wall for the optical media as shown in Figure  
3.1. (Cut off width: 5 to 10 mm)  
4) Fix the tip of the thermocouple to the cut portion of partition wall with an  
adhesive agent.  
5) Pass the thermocouple through the hole at the cartridge case and assemble the  
cartridge disk. When there is a gap between the hole and the thermocouple,  
fill the gap with the adhesive agent.  
Note:  
The surface of the cartridge shown in Figure 3.1 has been cut away to make  
the elements inside the case clearly visible. In reality the surface is not cut  
away.  
If the external environment temperature is higher than the specified value, the  
device will automatically take an interval to respond to command, and then  
take protective action to respond to the temperature increase.  
3.1.3 Air flow  
It is recommended that this optical disk drive be installed in a fanless cabinet.  
However, if the power supply is incorporated into the same cabinet, it is necessary  
that it satisfy the "Temperature Conditions" in 3.1.2 and that the air flow rate  
being drawn in by the device) at the cartridge loading slot be 0.3 m/s or lower.  
Furthermore, if there is a system fan in a system where this drive is being installed,  
the same conditions must be met.

Notes:  
1. The above data are data estimated as they were measured where the  
temperature surrounding the equipment was kept at 45 °C, using that at  
25 °C. They are not the same as the data obtained from measurements  
using the exclusive box in which the equipment is normally used.  
2. When using the box, the ambient temperature around the equipment will  
differ depending on the air circulation conditions of the box, and the  
temperature rise inside the cartridge will differ because of this, so please  
exercise caution.  
3.1.5 Air purity  
Air purity in the device environment is expressed by the number of dust particles  
per unit area and must be class 5 millions (equivalent to 0.15 mg/m3) or less.

3.2 Mounting Requirements  
3.2.4 Notes on mounting  
(1) Mounting frame structure and clearance  
a) For vibration resistance and heat dissipation, this optical disk drive uses an  
embossed structure as shown in Figure 3.6, as well as a frame which has a  
construction similar to other frames which perform the same function.  
b) As shown in Figure 3.6, the inward projection of the mounting screw from the  
outer surface of the drive frame must not exceed 3 mm.  
c) The clearance between the external surface of the drive frame and the user's  
frame structure must be at least 1.5 mm.  
d) The clearance between the top and bottom surfaces and the user's frame  
structure must be at least 1.5 mm.  
e) When mounting the optical disk drive, the screw tightening torque should be  
0.4 to 0.45Nm (4 to 4.6kgcm).  
f) When the optical disk drive (with panel) is mounted in a locker, there should  
be no deformation of the mounting fittings provided and the optical disk  
drive's panel should not be deformed. If the drive is used with the panel  
deformed, ejection of the cartridge will be faulty. Check if the door will close  
from any position whatever when the optical disk drive is installed.

(2) Panel function processing  
When installed in a cabinet, do not change the panel formal. The processing is  
installation status and the disk insertion door can be closed from any locations.  
(3) Service clearance

(4) External magnetic fields  
Mount the optical disk drive away from powerful magnetic materials (e.g., a  
speaker) to avoid influence from magnetic fields.  
(5) Leak magnetic field  
The VCM drive magnetic circuit may leak the magnetic field (Maximum 25 mT at  
distance of 4 mm from the drive).  
Do not place a device sensitive to a magnetic field near the optical  
disk drive.  
(6) External light source  
Mount the optical disk drive away from strong light sources (e.g., camera flash).  
3-10  
C156-E224-01EN  
3.3 Power Supply Requirements  
(7) System ground  
The optical disk drive should be grounded to the signal ground (SG) of the power  
supply of the system. This SG line should be supplied with the system.  
The Frame Ground is shorted in the optical disk drive by a metal strip attached to  
the vibration isolation rubber between the frame (FG) and the base (SG).  
When mounting the optical disk drive in the Device Bay 120mm (5  
inch) of the PC chassis, there are two ways of choosing frames the  
metal frame and the plastic (nonconductive material) frame.  
When using a plastic frame, there is not a short circuit between FG  
of PC and FG of the optical disk drive. As a result, the static  
electricity tolerance decreases compared with metal frame.  
It is recommended to use a metal frame to enhance the static  
electricity prevention.  
3.3 Power Supply Requirements  
(1) Allowable input voltage and current  
The DC power supply input voltage measured at the power supply connector pin  
of the optical disk drive (receiving end) must satisfy the requirements in Section  
2.1.3.  
(2) Current waveform (reference)

3.6 Notes on Drive Handling  
3.6 Notes on Drive Handling  
(1) General notes  
Note the following points to maintain drive performance and reliability:  
Device damage:  
1) Shock or vibration applied to the drive that exceeds the values  
defined in the standard damage the drive. Use care when  
unpacking.  
2) Do not leave the drive in dirty or contaminated environments.  
3) Since static discharge may destroy the CMOS devices in the  
drive, pay attention to the following points after unpacking:  
-
Use an antistatic mat and wrist strap when handling the  
drive.  
-
Hold the mounting frame when handling the drive. Do  
not touch the Printed circuit board except when setting the  
switches.  
4) When handling the drive, hold both sides of the mounting  
frame. When touching other than both sides of the mounting  
frame, avoid putting force.  
5) Do not forcibly push up the end of the header pin of the printed  
circuit board unit when handling or setting the drive.  
(2) Unpacking  
Make sure that the UP label on the package is pointing upward and start  
unpacking on a level surface. Handle the drive on a soft surface such as a  
rubber mat, not on a hard surface such as a desk.  
Use care to avoid exerting excessive pressure on the unit when removing the  
cushions.  
Use care to avoid exerting excessive pressure on the printed circuit board  
surface and interface connectors when removing the drive from the antistatic  
bag.  
If the temperature difference between installation locations is 10 degrees or  
more, leave the drive in the new location for at least two hours before  
unpackaging it.  
C156-E224-01EN  
3-21  
Installation Requirements  
(3) Installation  
Do not connect or disconnect the connectors or change the terminal settings  
when the power is on.  
Do not move the drive with the power on.  
Eject the optical disk cartridge, lock the carriage securing the head, turn off  
the power, then move the drive.  
Device damage: Be sure to turn on the power supply before  
inserting your cartridge for the first time. It releases the device from  
transport protection and enables you to insert the cartridge.  
The device may be damaged if you insert the cartridge without  
releasing the protection. From the next time, you don't need to turn  
on the power supply beforehand.  
Before moving the drive, remove the optical disk cartridge. If the  
drive is moved with the optical disk cartridge loaded in it, the head  
may move back and forth in the drive to damage the head or disk  
and reading the data may fail.  
(4) Packing  
Before packing, remove the optical cartridge.  
Store the drive in an antistatic plastic bag with desiccant (silica gel).  
Use the same cushions and packaging supplied with the drive. If they are not  
available, ensure that adequate shock absorbent material is used. In this case,  
some method of protecting the printed circuit board surface and interface  
connectors must be used.  
Apply "UP" and "Handle With Care" labels to the outside of the package.  
Figure 3.15 shows the single-unit packing style and the multiple-unit packing  
style. (The form and material of the cushion may be changed.)

(5) Transportation  
Transport the optical disk drive packed in principle, with the UP sign upward.  
After unpacking, minimize the transportation distance and use cushions to  
avoid shock and vibration. Transport the drive in one of the orientations  
described in Subsection 3.2.2 after unpacking. (The horizontal direction is  
recommended.)  
(6) Storage  
Use moistureproof packaging when storing the drive.  
The storage environment must satisfy the requirements specified in  
Subsection 2.1.3 when the drive is not operating.  
To prevent condensation, avoid sharp changes in temperature.  
C156-E224-01EN  
3-23  
Installation Requirements  
3.7 Mounting  
3.7.1 Checks before mounting the drive  
Before mounting the optical disk drive in the system cabinet, check whether the  
jumper settings are set correctly.  
3.7.2 Mounting procedure  
How the drive is mounted depends on the system cabinet structure. Determine the  
mounting procedure in consideration of the requirements of each system. This  
section contains the general mounting procedure and check items.  
See Section 3.2 for details on mounting drive.  
1) Tighten four mounting screws to secure the drive in the system cabinet.  
The drive has ten mounting holes (both sides: 3 × 2, bottom: 4). Secure  
the drive using the four mounting holes on both sides or the bottom.  
Use mounting screws whose lengths are 3 mm or less from the external  
wall of the mounting frame of the drive when they are tightened. (See  
Figure 3.6)  
When mounting with screws, the screw tightening torque should be 0.4 to  
0.45Nm (4 to 4.6kgfcm).  
Be careful not to damage the parts on the PCA when mounting the drive.  
2) After securing the drive, make sure that the drive does not touch the chassis of  
the system cabinet. There must be at least 1.5 mm clearance between the  
drive and chassis. (See Figure 3.6)  
3-24  
C156-E224-01EN  
3.8 Cable Connections  
3.8 Cable Connections  
Use the following cables to connect the drive to the system. See Subsection 3.4  
for details on the connector positions and cable requirements.  
Power supply cable  
SCSI interface cable  
DC ground cable (if required)  
The general procedure for cable connection and notes on connecting cables are  
given below. Pay attention to the insertion direction of each cable connector.  
Make sure that the system power is off.  
Do not connect or disconnect any cable when the power is on.  
1) Connect the DC ground cable (only if required to decrease ground noise).  
2) Connect the power cables.  
3) Connect the SCSI interface cable.  
4) After each cable connector is connected, secure the cable so that the cable  
does not touch the drive or the parts on the PCA or obstruct the flow of  
cooling air in the system cabinet.  
C156-E224-01EN  
3-25  
Installation Requirements  
3.9 Operation Confirmation and Preparation for Use after  
Installation  
3.9.1 Confirming initial operations  
This section provides the operation check procedures after the power is turned on.  
(1) Initial operation when the power is turned on  
When the power is turned on, the drive starts initial self-diagnosis. The LED  
on the front panel is on for 1 second during initial self-diagnosis.  
If an error is detected during initial self-diagnosis, the LED on the front panel  
blinks.  
In case of not inserted the cartridge, when the power is turned on, the eject  
motor automatically turns once.  
(2) Checks if errors occur at initial self-diagnosis  
Make sure that the cables are connected correctly.  
Make sure that the supply voltage is correct. (Measure the voltage at the  
power supply connector of the optical drive.)  
Make sure that the settings of all terminals are correct.  
If the LED on the front panel blinks continuously, an error was detected  
during initial self-diagnosis. In this case, issue the REQUEST SENSE  
command from the initiator (host system) to obtain sense data for error  
analysis.  
The BUSY LED is on while the optical disk drive is executing seek,  
write, or read operations. The BUSY LED is on momentarily, so it  
seems as if it blinked or is off.  
The eject motor turns once when the power is turned on so that in  
case the spindle motor position deviates due to shocks received by  
the drive during transport the position is corrected to allow the  
cartridge to be inserted normally. If the cartridge fails to be inserted,  
remove the cartridge and turn on the drive power to turn the eject  
motor once and reinsert the cartridge.  
3-26  
C156-E224-01EN  
3.10 Dismounting Drive  
3.9.2 Connection check  
When initial operation check terminates normally after the power is turned on,  
check whether the drive is correctly connected by issuing command from the host  
system. Checking procedure depends on the host system configuration.  
If processing terminates abnormally:  
1) If sense data has been obtained by the REQUEST SENSE command, analyze  
the sense data. If the error is recoverable, retry the processing.  
2) Check the following items for SCSI interface cable connection:  
All connectors, including other devices, are connected correctly.  
Make sure the correct cable is being used (whether it corresponds with  
the cable selection mode).  
3) Make sure again that the jumper settings are correct.  
3.10 Dismounting Drive  
How to demount an optical disk drive (for setting terminal checking, setting  
change, or device replacement) depends on the system cabinet configuration.  
Determine the demounting procedure in consideration of the requirements of each  
system. This section describes the general demounting procedure and notes on  
demounting drives.  
Device damage: Before demounting the optical disk drive, turn  
off the system power. Do not remove screws securing the cables  
and drive when the power is on.  
1) Remove the power cable.  
2) Remove the SCSI interface cable.  
3) Remove the DC ground cable.  
4) Remove the four screws securing the drive, then remove the drive from the  
system cabinet.  
5) When storing or transporting the drive, put the drive into an antistatic bag.

C156-E224-01EN  
4-3  
Host Interface  
4.2 Various Processes  
4.2.1 Reset response  
Three types of reset responses are available.  
Power-On Reset  
The ODD performs initialization processes such as initial diagnosis and  
-
default setting. It also starts rotation of the media, if any is mounted.  
SCSI Reset  
-
-
The ODD is reset when the RESET- signal is asserted. The ODD  
performs initialization of the interface controller, including such  
operations as writing the default values to the registers.  
UNIT ATTENTION is generated.  
Bus Device Reset  
-
The ODD is reset when a bus device reset message is received. The  
ODD performs initialization of the interface controller, including such  
operations as writing the default values to the registers.  
-
UNIT ATTENTION is generated.  
4.2.2 Defective sector management  
The following standards for each type of media are used to manage sector  
mapping:  
-
-
-
-
-
ISO/IEC 10090 for 128-MB media  
ISO/IEC 13963 for 230-MB media  
ISO/IEC 15041 for 540/640-MB media  
Cherry Book for 1.3-GB media  
Cherry Book 2 for 2.3-GB media  
In principle, the initiator need not manage defective sectors.  
4.2.3 Automatic alternate sector assignment function  
If a verify error is detected in the ID or data section when the WRITE (6/10),  
WRITE AND VERIFY, or ERASE command is executed, the ODD automatically  
assigns an alternate sector. Alternate sector information is entered in the  
secondary defect list (SDL) on the media.  
No error is reported if automatic alternate sector assignment ends successfully.  
4-4  
C156-E224-01EN  
4.2 Various Processes  
4.2.4 Cache function  
The ODD supports read cache and MO write cache.  
The read cache consists of the read-ahead cache and the LRU cache that reads  
write data remaining in the data buffer.  
The read-ahead cache enables data transfer at almost the same speed as the  
effective transfer speed during continuous read operation without causing delays  
resulting from rotation latency. If write and read operations are executed  
frequently on a same sector, the LRU cache enables the transfer of data without  
mechanical operation.  
The MO write cache writes data in batch mode during continuous write operation,  
thus reducing the number of positioning operations, which is determined by the  
buffer size, and improving write throughput.  
4.2.4.1 Data buffer  
The ODD uses part of the buffer area as work memory for control firmware and  
the remaining area for a data buffer. The data buffer consists of multiple segments  
and contains multiple segments of write data.  
4.2.4.2 Read cache  
If the read cache function is enabled, the ODD enables the read-ahead cache and  
LRU cache. When a READ command is received while the read cache is enabled,  
the ODD reads the specified sector and continues pre-reading the following  
sectors. The ODD thus transfers data in the sectors specified by the command  
while pre-reading the sectors that follow.  
When data in the sector specified by the host is pre-read data, the ODD transfers  
the data directly from the buffer without any mechanical operation.  
The ODD stops pre-reading under any of the following conditions:  
Read error  
Data buffer full (The ODD may restart pre-reading when the buffer is no  
longer full.)  
Media ejection instruction given with the eject switch  
Power-off  
The system judges that performance will be improved by stopping the pre-  
reading and giving priority to other processing.  
If the read cache is enabled, the buffer contains data transferred from the host with  
a write command. If a read command is issued for an applicable sector address,  
the ODD directly transfers data to the host from the data buffer rather than reading  
it from the media. If the cache is hit with a read command, the ODD places and  
keeps the data in the hit segment in the highest priority.  
The following types of data are not subject to the read cache function:  
C156-E224-01EN  
4-5  
Host Interface  
Data read before power-off  
Data stored before media is mounted  
All buffer data is discarded when:  
The power is turned off.  
The media is ejected.  
A FORMAT UNIT command is received.  
The ODD is in standby mode.  
Buffer data may be discarded when:  
A MODE SELECT command that changes the read conditions is received.  
4.2.4.3 MO write cache  
If the write cache is enabled, the ODD responds to the host with command  
completion when data transfer for a WRITE or WRITE AND VERIFY command  
(hereafter collectively called a write command) is completed.  
The ODD writes data stored in the buffer to the media and proceeds to the next  
processing when:  
The eject switch is pressed.  
A SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command is received.  
When data is contained in the buffer, and if any of the following conditions  
occurs, the data in the buffer may not be written to the media correctly:  
The power is turned off.  
The media is forcibly ejected (mechanical ejection).  
4.2.5 Power management function  
The ODD provides a power management function that minimizes power  
consumption. A timer is used to implement the function.  
4.2.6 Power mode  
The ODD supports the power modes listed below. If no media is mounted, the  
ODD uses a power mode equivalent to standby mode.  
Active mode  
Pre-idle mode  
Idle mode  
Standby mode  
4-6  
C156-E224-01EN  
4.2 Various Processes  
4.2.6.1 Active mode  
In active mode, all circuits are enabled and the time for command processing is  
minimized.  
4.2.6.2 Pre-idle mode  
In pre-idle mode, the read and write circuits are in stopped state. The ODD can  
receive a command from the host, but since some circuits are stopped, the  
command requires an additional 20 ms to access the media.  
The ODD automatically enters pre-idle mode if no command is issued within a  
specified time (0.5 s) in active mode. The ODD automatically enters active mode  
when it receives a media access command.  
4.2.6.3 Idle mode  
In idle mode, the servo, and read and write circuits are in stopped state. The ODD  
can receive a command from the host, but since some circuits are stopped, the  
command requires an additional 1 s (default) to access the media.  
If no command is issued within a specified time (180 s) in active mode, the ODD  
automatically enters pre-idle mode, then enters idle mode. The ODD  
automatically enters active mode when it receives a media access command.  
4.2.6.4 Standby mode  
In standby mode, the spindle motor stays stopped. The ODD can receive a  
command from the host, but since the spindle motor is stopped, the command  
requires 5 s (default) for recovery before accessing the media.  
If no command is issued within a specified time while the ODD is in active mode  
with the standby timer enabled, the ODD automatically enters standby mode. The  
ODD automatically enters active mode when it receives an access command.  
4.2.6.5 Standby timer  
The standby timer counts the elapsed time during which the host issues no  
commands.  
The standby timer value is programmable with the Power Condition Page of the  
MODE SELECT command. The default standby timer value is 32 minutes  
(including the transition time to idle mode).

ODD control firmware is stored in flash ROM and can be downloaded from  
the host with the WRITE BUFFER command. However, if a problem such  
as a power failure occurs during downloading, downloading is interrupted  
and the microcodes in the control firmware may be damaged. In such a  
case, to download the microcode data again, the ODD starts emergency  
download firmware that supports only the WRITE BUFFER command and  
other basic commands.

When the ODD receives an INQUIRY command from INIT while it has a UNIT  
ATTENTION condition (before the ODD reports CHECK CONDITION status),  
the ODD executes the INQUIRY command but does not clear the UNIT  
ATTENTION condition.  
The transfer byte length field at CDB byte 4 indicates the number of bytes of  
INQUIRY data that INIT can receive with this command. The ODD transfers as  
many bytes of data as specified by the transfer byte length or the INQUIRY data  
held by the ODD, whichever is smaller. If 0 is specified in the transfer byte length

If the Automatic Write Reallocation Enabled (AWRE) bit is 0, no automatic  
alternate block assignment is made by the WRITE (6), WRITE (10), or WRITE  
AND VERIFY command. If the AWRE bit is 1, an automatic alternate block  
assignment function is enabled.  
If the Read Continuous (RC) bit is 0, an error is reported if an uncorrectable data  
error is detected in the READ (6) or READ (10) command. If the RC bit is 1, the  
command transfers the erroneous data and ends normally even if an uncorrectable  
data error is detected.  
If the Post Error (PER) bit is 0, the command reports GOOD status if an error is  
corrected with the error recovery process. If the PER bit is 1, the command  
reports CHECK CONDITION status if an error is corrected with the error recover  
process. The Sense Key is then set to RECOVERED ERROR.  
RECOVERED ERROR is reported when:  
C156-E224-01EN  
4-15  
Host Interface  
Seven or eight error bytes occurring per interleaving are corrected by the ECC  
feature during a read operation.  
A defective sector is detected and replaced with an alternate sector during a  
write operation.  
An error occurs in one of four sets of media data during media management  
information (DMA) write operation caused by the FORMAT UNIT command  
(MEDIUM ERROR is set if an error occurs in two, three, or four sets of four  
sets).  
If the Disable Correction (DCR) bit is 0, the command corrects any correctable  
errors detected in a read command. If the DCR bit is 1, the command does not  
correct any correctable errors that are detected.  
A value of 3 or fewer cannot be specified for Read Retry Count. If 3 or fewer is  
specified, the command processing assumes that 4 is specified and reports  
Recovered Error.  
The value of Write Retry Count must be 3. If a value other than 3 is specified, the  
command processing assumes that 3 is specified and reports Recovered Error.  
To ensure media compatibility, the read-write error recovery page must contain  
the default values, except when the settings are used for a diagnosis.  
The values in the Read-write error recovery page can be saved.

As with the RELEASE command (explained next), the RESERVE command  
controls exclusive access to the logical unit (ODD) in a multi-initiator  
environment. The ODD is reserved for another SCSI device by the INIT that  
issues this command.  
Any values specified for CDB bytes 1 to 5 are ignored. However, INIT should  
specify 00h for these bytes.  
The RESERVE command reserves the entire ODD (logical unit) for a specific  
SCSI device. The ODD reserved by this command remains reserved until one of  
the following conditions is met:  
The RELEASE command is issued by the INIT that issued the RESERVE  
command.  
A BUS DEVICE RESET message is issued by an INIT.  
A RESET condition occurs.  
The ODD power is turned off and on again.  
While an ODD is reserved for a SCSI device, an INIT having no "reservation  
authority" for the ODD might issue this command. If so, the command ends with  
RESERVATION CONFLICT status.  
After ODD reservation is established, any commands, other than the INQUIRY,  
REQUEST SENSE, and RELEASE commands, issued by an INIT other than the  
SCSI device that reserved the ODD are rejected. The RESERVATION  
CONFLICT status is reported to the INIT that issued the command. The  
INQUIRY and REQUEST SENSE commands are executed normally even while  
the ODD is reserved for another SCSI device. The RELEASE command ends  
with GOOD status, but any RELEASE command issued by a SCSI device having  
no reservation authority for the applicable ODD is ignored.

The RELEASE command releases the ODD reserved by the INIT that issued this  
command. When any of the following conditions is met, the command ends with  
GOOD status but it does not affect the reserved status of the ODD:  
The reserved status created by the INIT that has issued this command is not in  
the ODD.  
The reserved status of the type of release target specified by CDB of this  
command is not in the ODD.  
The specified ODD may is reserved for another SCSI device.  
Any values specified for CDB bytes 1 to 5 are ignored. However, INIT should  
specify 00h for these bytes.  
In terms of the entire ODD (logical unit), the RELEASE command releases any  
reserved status for which the INIT that issued the command has reservation

The REQUEST SENSE command transfers sense data to the INIT. Sense data  
indicates detailed error information related to the command for which an error was  
previously reported. If no error was previously reported for a command, Sense  
Key indicates NO SENSE.  
When issuing the REQUEST SENSE command to detect the device status, first  
issue the TEST UNIT READY command, then issue the REQUEST SENSE  
command.  
Allocation Length specifies the length of sense data to be transferred, in bytes. If  
0 is specified, the command does not transfer any data and ends normally.

Progress Indication  
Progress Indication indicates the rate of formatting completion when the  
denominator is 65536 (10000h).  
INIT should not use the REQUEST SENSE command alone to  
check the ODD status. Because the REQUEST SENSE command is  
used by INIT to retrieve sense data that is held by the ODD on  
various occasions, the contents of the sense data depend on the  
results of the command executed previously.  
Example: Response when the ODD is in Not Ready state  
When INIT issues the TEST UNIT READY command,  
the ODD ends processing with Check Condition Status  
and responds to the REQUEST SENSE command with  
Not Ready Sense Data. When the INIT issues the  
INQUIRY command, the ODD responds with Inquiry  
Data and ends processing with Good status. If INIT  
continuously issues the REQUEST SENSE command,  
the ODD responds with No Sense because the previous  
command has ended normally and the ODD holds no  
sense data.

the command transfers the data to be written to flash ROM to the data buffer.  
Code-ID specifies the type of code to be downloaded.  
Allocation Length specifies the length of data to be transferred, in bytes.  
Buffer Offset specifies the offset of the data to be transferred.  
If the writing to flash ROM ends abnormally, the command responds with Check

4.4 SCSI Messages  
SCSI messages are used to control the SCSI bus operating sequence. This section  
explains how SCSI messages work.  
4.4.1 Message formats  
There are three types of message formats. In any format, the first byte of each  
message is a message code (see Table 4.73).  
1-byte message:  
Only the message code  
2-byte message:  
Message with a message code from 20h to 2Fh. Each 2-  
byte message consists of a 1-byte message code and a 1-  
byte parameter. (The ODD does not support this type of  
messages).  
Extended message: Multiple-byte message with message code 01h. An  
extended message code and message length are defined  
in each message.  
4.4.2 Message types  
Table 4.73 lists the types of messages provided by the ODD.

4.4 SCSI Messages  
4.4.3 Message functions  
This section explains the function of each message. The symbols in the following  
explanations have the following meanings:  
(I T): Message that can only be sent from INIT to TARG  
(T I): Message that can only be sent from TARG to INIT  
(I ←→ T): Message that can be sent between TARG and INIT in either direction  
(1) COMMAND COMPLETE message: 00h (T I)  
The execution of a single command ended and valid status information was  
reported to INIT. The function of the message is to report the validity of status  
information; the message does not always indicate that the command ended  
normally. The command end status is indicated in the status byte transferred in the  
STATUS phase before the message is sent. Even if command transfer was not  
executed normally (because of such reasons as the occurrence of a parity error in  
the SCSI data bus in the MESSAGE OUT or COMMAND phase), TARG always  
sends this message after the STATUS phase if TARG reports the status byte to  
INIT.  
After sending this message normally, TARG shifts to the BUS FREE phase.  
TARG assumes that message transmission was completed normally if the ATN  
signal is FALSE when the ACK signal changes to FALSE at the completion of the  
transfer of this message.  
(2) SAVE DATA POINTER message: 02h (T I)  
This message instructs INIT to save the current data pointer.  
(3) DISCONNECT message: 04h (T I)  
This message notifies INIT that TARG has temporarily disconnected the SCSI  
bus. After sending this message normally, TARG shifts to the BUS FREE phase  
to complete disconnection. TARG then continues command processing internally.  
It reconnects INIT when TARG needs to continue command execution on the  
SCSI bus.  
(4) INITIATOR DETECTED ERROR message: 05h (I T)  
This message notifies TARG that INIT detected an error for which TARG can  
retry command processing. The cause of the error can be something related to  
operation on the SCSI bus or something attributable to INIT internal operation that  
is not directly related to operation on the SCSI bus.  
(5) ABORT message: 06 (I - > T)  
This message instructs TARG to clear the I/O operation being executed by INIT.  
Upon receipt of this message, TARG interrupts the current operation and shifts to  
the BUS FREE phase. The pending data and status related to the interrupted  
operation and sense data hold state are all cleared. This message has no effect on  
the operation started by another INIT.  
C156-E224-01EN  
4-43  
Host Interface  
(6) MESSAGE REJECT message: 07h (I T)  
The message received most recently is invalid or unsupported.  
(7) NO OPERATION message: 08h (I T)  
This message causes no operation.  
(8) MESSAGE PARITY ERROR message: 09h (I T)  
This message notifies TARG that a parity error was detected in the last message,  
in the last byte received by the INIT.  
(9) BUS DEVICE RESET message: 0Ch (I T)  
This message instructs the clearing of all I/O operations (commands) being  
executed or stacked in TARG. TARG performs initialization by clearing not only  
I/O operations started by the INIT that sends this message but also all INIT I/O  
operations.

LUN  
This message specifies the device addresses (LUN) of devices (logical units) under  
TARG control to establish I/O operation paths between INIT and TARG.  
a. Bit 6: Disconnect Privilege  
If INIT specifies this bit as 1, TARG can execute disconnection. If it specifies 0,  
TARG cannot execute disconnection.  
b. Bits 2 to 0: LUN  
These bits specify a logical unit under TARG control.  
c. Message function  
After the SELECTION phase, INIT first sends this message to TARG to specify  
the logical units to be used for I/O operation. Similarly, after the RESELECTION  
phase, TARG first sends this message to INIT to specify the logical units to be  
reconnected.

5.3 Optical Disk Cartridge Operation  
5.4 Cleaning Optical Disk Cartridge  
This chapter describes how to operate and clean the drive and the optical disk  
cartridges.  
5.1 Operating Optical Disk Drive  
The drive has an automatic load function. All the operator must do is to insert the  
optical disk cartridge and operate the eject button.  
This section explains loading and ejection methods, assuming that the drive is  
mounted horizontally. When mounted vertically, the drive is operated in the same  
manner as when mounted horizontally.  
Figure 5.1 shows the front view of the optical disk drive. For operation, users  
should be familiar with the parts in the figure and their function. Loading and  
ejection methods are described below.

The following explains the parts and functions of the optical disk drive (the  
following numbers correspond to the numbers in Figures 5.1):  
1) Disk insertion slot  
Use this slot to insert and eject the optical disk cartridge.  
2) Eject button & BUSY LED (display lamp)  
On this optical disk drive, this is the push button combining the eject button  
with the BUSY LED (display lamp) for ejecting the optical disk cartridge (it  
lights in green during seeking and during erasing, writing or reading of data).  
When ejection is disabled by the SCSI command, the optical disk cartridge  
cannot be taken out.  
3) Manual eject hole  
This hole is used to eject the optical disk cartridge manually at power-off.  
Manual ejection may not be possible just after the power is off.

C156-E224-01EN  
5.1 Operating Optical Disk Drive  
5.1.2 Note  
To maintain the performance and reliability of the drive, keep the following point  
in mind:  
When the drive is in the busy state, do not eject the optical disk cartridge.  
Particularly, do not manually eject the cartridge by force.  
Be careful sufficiently not to insert the different drive (etc. floppy disk) or  
substance, so it is cause of the accident.  
5.1.3 Inserting cartridge  
Insert the cartridge as explained below. (See figure 5.2)  
(1) When the drive power is on:  
1) Make sure that no disk cartridge is in the drive.  
2) Keep the cartridge shutter surface upward.  
3) Insert the cartridge, shutter first, into the disk insertion slot.  
4) Push the cartridge into the slot until it completes moving below (a little  
further in than the operator panel).  
Loading is started when the cartridge is inserted. After several seconds, the  
BUSY LED indicator lamp is turned on and immediately turned off to  
complete loading.  
Notes  
1) The cartridge must be completely inserted until the BUSY LED indicator  
lamp is lit.  
2) If the cartridge is inserted by pushing either left or right side of the  
cartridge rear, it may not be inserted completely. Be sure to push the  
central part straight into the drive until it is completely inserted.  
3) If the BUSY LED indicator lamp does not light when the cartridge is  
inserted, once eject the cartridge by pressing the eject/BUSY LED button  
and insert it again.  
4) If you attempt to insert the cartridge by force, trouble may result in the  
drive. In such a case, be sure to once remove the cartridge and check the  
insertion direction and the face and back of the cartridge before inserting  
it again.  
(2) When the drive power is off:  
1) Make sure that no optical disk cartridge is in the disk drive.  
2) Keep the cartridge shutter surface upward.  
3) Insert the cartridge, shutter first, into the disk insertion slot.  
C156-E224-01EN

Operation and Cleaning  
4) Push the cartridge into the slot until it completes moving below (a little  
further in than the operator panel).  
The cartridge remains inserted in the drive. The BUSY LED indicator lamp lights  
when the drive power is turned on.  
The cartridge remains inserted in the drive. Turning on the drive power starts  
loading. (The LED indicator lamp should light.)  
Notes  
1) If the BUSY LED indicator lamp does not light when the power is turned  
on, once eject the cartridge by pressing the eject button and insert it again  
until the lamp is lit.  
2) If the cartridge is inserted by pushing either left or right side of the  
cartridge rear, it may not be inserted completely. Be sure to push the  
central part straight into the drive until it is completely inserted.  
3) If you attempt to insert the cartridge by force, trouble may result in the  
drive. In such a case, be sure to once remove the cartridge and check the  
insertion direction and the face and back of the cartridge before inserting  
it again.  
Inserting direction  
Push by hand the width of 20mm to the right and left from the  
cartridge rear center, to the position shown at right.  
Shutter  
Figure 5.2 Inserting cartridge  
Even if you inserted the optical disk cartridge by pressing the left  
side of the rear edge with the cartridge shutter surface facing  
upward, and you heard a chucking sound, the device may not enter  
the READY state. In such case, press the center of the rear edge of  
the cartridge (check the dint part on the front side of the panel)  
further, until the LED indicator lamp goes on. This lamp indicates  
that the cartridge is normally inserted.

5.1 Operating Optical Disk Drive  
5.1.4 Ejecting (removing) cartridge  
Remove the cartridge as explained below.  
(1) When the drive power is on:  
The cartridge can be removed by pressing the eject button. (See figure 5.3)  
Notes:  
1) If the SCSI command prevents ejection, the cartridge cannot be removed.  
2) Even if the drive set-up conditions are met, note that the cartridge can  
drop from the drive after ejection depending on the ambient environment  
and the cartridge's condition.  
3) Remove the cartridge when completely ejected.  
(2) When the drive power is off:  
If the drive power is off, the cartridge cannot be removed by pressing the eject  
button. The cartridge can be removed by insert the eject jig (accessory) or a pin  
(diameter: about 1 mm) into the manual eject hole. (See figure 5.3)  
Notes  
1) NEVER attempt to eject the cartridge while the BUSY LED lamp is on.  
The data may be destroyed or trouble may result in the drive.  
2) Note that the cartridge may drop from the drive when it is ejected.  
3) The optical disk drive unit should not be carried around with a cartridge  
loaded inside.  
Push the eject button

CHAPTER 6 Diagnosis and Maintenance  
6.1 Diagnosis  
6.2 Maintenance Information  
This chapter contains diagnosis and maintenance information.  
6.1 Diagnosis  
Table 6.1 shows a test executed by the diagnostic function.  
The drive has a self-diagnostic function. This function can check the basic  
operations of the drive.  
A test program running in the host system is required to check general operations,  
including operations of the interface with the host system. (See Subsection 6.1.3.)

General operation  
6.1.1 Initial self-diagnosis  
When the power is turned on, the optical disk drive starts initial self-diagnosis.  
Basic hardware functions are tested during initial self-diagnosis.  
The hardware function test checks the normality of the basic controller operation.  
This test includes the normality check of the ROM in which microcodes are  
stored, microprocessor (MPU) peripheral circuit test, memory (RAM) test, and  
data buffer test.  
If an error is detected during initial self-diagnosis, the LED on the drive front  
panel blinks.  
C156-E224-01EN

Diagnosis and Maintenance  
6.1.2 Diagnostic command  
The host system can make the ODD execute the self diagnosis by issuing the  
EXECUTIVE DEVICE DIAGNOSTIC command. See Section 4.7.2,  
"EXECUTIVE DEVICE DIAGNOSTIC", in details.  
6.1.3 Test program  
A test program running in the host system is required to check general operations  
such as operations of the interface with the host system and simulated operations.  
The configuration and function of the test program depend on the user system  
requirements.  
The test program should include the following tests:  
(1) Random/sequential read test  
Use the READ or VERIFY command to test positioning (seek) operation and read  
operation in random access mode and sequential access mode.  
(2) Write/read test  
Use a disk whose operation check data may be destroyed so that a write or read  
test can be executed with an arbitrary data pattern.

6.2.2 Revision number  
The revision number of an optical disk drive is represented with an alphabetic  
character and a single-digit number. The revision number is shown on the revision  
label attached to the drive. For example, Figure 6.1 shows the revision label  
format.  
Revision number  
Figure 6.1 Revision label  
(1) Revision number indication  
When the drive is shipped, the revision number is indicated by deleting the  
numbers up to the corresponding number on the line of alphabetic characters.  
(Each number is deleted with double lines =. See Figure 6.2.)  
(2) Changing the revision number on site  
When the revision number is changed on site because of parts replacement or  
modification, the new revision number is indicated by circling the number on the  
line of alphabetic characters. (See Figure 6.2.)  
When a revision number is changed after shipment, Fujitsu issues  
"Revision Number Change Request/Notice" to indicate the new  
revision number. The user must update the revision label as  
described above when changing the revision number.
