Preface  
Conventions for Alert Messages  
This manual uses the following conventions to show the alert messages. An alert message  
consists of an alert signal and alert statements. The alert signal consists of an alert symbol  
and a signal word or just a signal word.  
The following are the alert signals and their meanings:  
This indicates a hazardous situation likely to result in  
serious personal injury if the user does not perform the  
procedure correctly.  
This indicates a hazardous situation could result in serious  
personal injury if the user does not perform the procedure  
correctly.  
This indicates a hazardous situation could result in minor  
or moderate personal injury if the user does not perform  
the procedure correctly. This alert signal also indicates  
that damages to the product or other property, may occur if  
the user does not perform the product correctly.  
This indicates information that could help the user use the  
product more efficiently.  
In the text, the alert signal is centered, followed below by the indented message. A wider  
line space precedes and follows the alert message to show where the alert message begins  
and ends. The following is an example:  
(Example)  
While the write cache feature is enabled, a write error is reported in the  
completion status of another command that is subsequent to the concerned  
write command. Note that, if the host performs only retry of an error-  
reporting command, data in the block in which the error has occurred is not  
correctly written.  
The main alert messages in the text are also listed in the “Important Alert Items.”  
Attention  
Please forward any comments you may have regarding this manual.  
To make this manual easier for users to understand, opinions from readers are needed.  
Please write your opinions or requests on the Comment at the back of this manual and

Data loss: Data is not guaranteed if a power failure occurs or the I/F  
cable is pulled out while:  
Data is being written to a data block  
A disk is being initialized (formatted)  
Defect processing is in progress  
Data is not guaranteed either if the drive is moved with the optical disk  
cartridge inserted or the drive is exposed to excessive shock or  
vibration.  
3-23  
4-1  
Data loss: When the verify function is invalid, the write data quality is  
not guaranteed. This mode should not be used for storing important  
data. When using the mode for storing important data, a preventive  
system measure such as file duplication is required.  
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 PCA 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.

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  
Installation  
1) The user must not change the settings of terminals not described in  
this section. The terminals must remain as set when shipped.  
4-5  
2) Do not change terminal settings when the power is on.  
3) To strap setting terminals, use the jumper shipped with the drive.  
1) Make sure that the system power is off.  
4-13  
4-14  
2) Do not connect or disconnect any cable when the power is on.  
1) Be careful of the insertion directions of SCSI connectors. For a  
system in which the terminating resistor power is supplied via the  
SCSI cable, connecting connectors in the wrong direction may cause  
the following:  
The overcurrent protection fuse of the terminating resistor power  
supply (SCSI device) may blow when power is turned on.  
The cable may burn if overcurrent protection is not provided.  
2) Be careful of cable connector positions when connecting more than  
one SCSI device. The SCSI device having the terminating resistor  
must be connected to the end of the cable.  
3) The cables must be kept away from the rotating part of the spindle  
motor.  
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.

Disk damage: To clean a disk, use the cleaning solution and cleaning  
cloth specified in Table 5.2.  
Disk damage: Do not use this cleaning kit on a floppy disk or an  
optical disk cartridge to be used on other optical disk drives.  
Disk damage: Clean a cartridge in a dust-free environment.  
Fujitsu recommends wearing disposable gloves during cleaning so that  
no fingerprints are left on a disk.

Disk damage: Do not press hard or apply excessive shock to an optical  
disk cartridge case while setting it in the setting case.  
Eye inflammation: If the cleaning solution gets into your eyes,  
immediately wash the solution away with water.  
Maintenance and Repair  
Data loss: For a repair request, you normally do not need to include  
any optical disk cartridge with an optical disk drive. However, you do  
need to include a cartridge if errors keep occurring with a specific  
cartridge. In such a case, be sure to save data stored in the cartridge  
before sending it in. Fujitsu shall bear no responsibility for any data lost  
during service or repair.

CHAPTER 1 General Description  
1.1 Features  
1.2 Configuration of Optical Disk Drive  
This chapter describes the features and configuration of the MCM3064SS,  
MCM3130SS, MCP3064SS and MCP3130SS optical disk drives.  
As successors to the MCE3064SS and MCE3130SS optical disk drives, the  
MCM3064SS, MCM3130SS, MCP3064SS and MCP3130SS optical disk drives  
(hereafter called the optical disk drives) achieve high-speed operation while  
maintaining compatibility with the MCE3064SS and MCE3130SS.  
The flexibility and expandability realized through SCSI interfaces as well as the  
high performance and command sets of the optical disk drives allow the user to  
construct disk subsystems featuring advanced functions, high performance, large-  
scale storage and high reliability.  
1.1 Features  
This section describes the features of the optical disk drives in terms of  
performance, reliability, maintainability/operability, adaptability, and interface.  
1.1.1 Performance and Functions  
(1) Half-height standard 90mm(3.5-inch) size (25.4 mm height)  
The optical disk drives can be directly connected to the system SCSI bus. The  
drive employs the same form factor as that for the 90mm(3.5-inch) 25.4-mm  
height hard disk drive.  
(2) High-speed data transfer  
The MCM3130SS and MCP3130SS rotate disks at 3,637 revolutions per minute  
when 1.3 GB disks are used. When other media are used, the speed is 5,455  
revolutions per minute.  
The MCM3064SS and MCP3064SS rotate disks at 5,455 revolutions per minute.  
In the disk drive, the MCM3130SS and MCP3130SS realize high-speed data  
transfers at rates of 3.92 to 6.70 MB/s (1.3 GB) and the MCM3064SS and  
MCP3064SS realize at rates of 3.52 to 5.87 MB/s (640 MB). The maximum  
synchronous data transfer speed of the SCSI bus is 20 MB/s.  
The data transfer capacity can be used effectively through a large capacity data  
buffer of the optical disk drive.  
C156-E228-02EN  
1-1  
General Description  
(3) High-speed mean seek time  
This drive features a linear voice coil motor for high-speed head positioning.  
The average seek time per 1,000 random seeks is 23 ms. (However, this does not  
include command overhead or address check.)  
(4) Compatibility with international standards (media interchangeability)  
The MCM3130SS and MCP3130SS optical disk drives support the use of  
90mm(3.5-inch) optical disks in the 1.3 GB format as well as in the 128-MB, 230-  
MB, 540-MB and 640-MB formats compatible with ISO standards.  
The MCM3064SS and MCP3064SS optical disk drives support the use of optical  
disks in the 128-MB, 230-MB, 540-MB and 640-MB formats compatible with  
ISO standards.  
(5) Dust resistance  
With this optical disk drive, the need for a cooling fan has been eliminated owing  
to its low power consumption. The optical disk drive also has a simple sealed  
structure. The device is sealed with a metal plate. The drive conforms to class 5  
million or less particle level. (Class 5 million: This means there are 5 million  
dust particles of 0.5 mm diameter or larger per cubic foot. This is equivalent to  
0.15 mg/m3.)  
(6) Lower power consumption  
The power consumption of the MCM3064SS, MCM3130SS, MCP3064SS and  
MCP3130SS optical disk drive is 6.1 W, eliminating the need for a cooling fan.  
(These power consumption values are typical values during read and write  
operation.)  
The minimum power consumption in the power save modes are 1.2 W.  
(7) Automatic spindle stop function  
If the optical disk drive is not accessed for a certain duration, it stops disk rotation  
to minimize dust accumulation on the disk. This duration can be specified using  
the MODE SELECT command.  
1-2  
C156-E228-02EN  
1.1 Features  
1.1.2 Reliability  
(1) Mean time between failures (MTBF)  
The mean time between failures (MTBF) for this optical disk drive is 120,000  
hours or more.  
(2) Enhanced error recovery  
If an error occurs on the optical disk drive, the system executes appropriate retry  
processing to recover from it. This drive features enhanced Reed-Solomon error  
correction code (ECC) to assure error-free operation.  
(3) Automatic allocation of alternate data blocks  
This drive features a function which automatically allocates alternate data blocks  
in cases where defective data blocks are detected while data is being written to an  
optical disk.  
1.1.3 Maintainability/operability  
(1) Diagnostics function  
This drive has a diagnostics function for checking optical disk drive operations.  
The diagnostics 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 maintained (both disks and optical parts cleaned using cleaning  
tools) and handled as recommended.  
1.1.4 Adaptability  
(1) Wide-ranging operating environments  
This drive, requiring low power consumption because of LSIs adopted, can be  
used in wide-ranging environments (5 to 45°C for drive's ambient environment  
and a general office environment). The ambient cleanliness must be class 5  
million or less particle level.  
(2) Low noise  
This drive operates quietly at 30 dB or less (A-character) during seek operations  
and will not degrade the office environment (except when an optical disk is  
ejected).  
C156-E228-02EN  
1-3  
General Description  
(3) Safety standards  
The optical disk drive is certified under the following standards:  
UL1950 (U.S. safety standard)  
CDRH (U.S. laser standard) (Class 1)  
CSA C22.2 No. 950 (Canada safety standard)  
EN60950 (European safety standard)  
EN60825-1 (European laser standard) (Class 1)  
(4) Radio wave standards  
This optical disk device, while installed, is certified under the following  
standards:  
EN55022 class B, EN55024 (European EMC standard)  
AS/NZS3548 class B (Australian EMC standard)  
CNS13438 class B (Taiwanese EMC standard)  
1.1.5 Interface  
(1) Conformation to SCSI-2  
The optical disk drives conform to the basic specifications of SCSI-2.  
SCSI commands specify data with logical block addresses, thus allowing data to  
be manipulated independent of the physical characteristics of the optical disk  
derives. This facilitates easy development of software whose functions can be  
flexibly expanded in the future.  
(2) Continuous block processing  
Logical block addresses are used for data block addressing. Irrespective of the  
physical attributes of track boundaries, you can have the initiator access data by  
specifying a block number in logically continuous data space.  
(3) High-capacity data buffer  
This drive has a 2 MB data buffer. This data buffer is used to transfer data  
between the SCSI bus and a disk. Since data is stored in this buffer, the host can  
execute input-output processing effectively by using the data transfer capability of  
the SCSI bus irrespective of the effective data transfer rate of the optical disk  
drive.  
1-4  
C156-E228-02EN  
1.1 Features  
(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 drive can transfer data from the buffer without  
accessing the disk again.  
(5) Write cache feature  
When the host system issues the write command to the optical disk drive, this  
drive would report completion of the command after completion of the write and  
verify operations if the write cache feature were not used. If the write cache  
feature is used, this drive reports completion of the command when data transfer  
to buffer is completed, without waiting for completion of the write and verify  
operations. This drive performs the write and verify operations asynchronously  
with the interface operation. Therefore, enabling the write cache reduces the  
apparent write command processing time recognized by the host system and  
improves the I/O performance of the host system.  
Enable or disable the write cache feature using the MODE SELECT command.  
While the write cache feature is enabled, a write error is reported in  
the completion status of another command that is subsequent to the  
concerned write command. Note that, if the host performs only  
retry of an error-reporting command, data in the block in which the  
error has occurred is not correctly written.  
(6) Defective block slipping  
While initializing a disk, the optical disk drive slips defective data blocks to  
reallocate logical data blocks so they are physically continuous. This enables  
high-speed continuous data block processing without rotational delay due to  
defective data blocks.

1.2 Configuration of Optical Disk Drive  
1.2.2 Configuration  
Figure 1.3 shows the configuration of the optical disk drive.  
The optical disk drive consists of a mechanical section, a fixed optics section, a  
control circuit section, and an actuator.  
The mechanical section includes the spindle motor, actuator section, bias magnet,  
and cartridge holder vertical motion mechanism.  
The fixed optics section consists of the optical components, position detector, and  
LD controller.  
The control circuit section includes the drive control circuit section and I/F circuit  
section.

Figure 1.3 Configuration of optical disk drive  
1.2.3 Mechanical section  
(1) Loading and ejecting an optical disk cartridge  
The optical disk drive includes a cartridge load mechanism and an auto eject  
mechanism. If an optical disk cartridge is manually inserted in the drive's slot as  
far as it will go, the cartridge load mechanism automatically lowers the cartridge  
and mounts it on the spindle motor. If the Eject button on the front panel is  
pressed, the auto eject mechanism automatically ejects the cartridge.  
(2) Spindle motor  
An optical disk cartridge hub and the spindle motor shaft are magnetically  
combined. Therefore, a disk rotates as fast as the spindle motor shaft rotates. The  
spindle motor, a DC brushless motor, provides high-speed rotation at 5,455 rpm  
and 3,637 rpm and high-accuracy rotation at ± 0.1%.  
C156-E228-02EN  
1-7  
General Description  
(3) Actuator section  
The actuator section consists of a focus actuator and a tracking actuator. The  
former focuses a laser beam on the surface of an optical disk while the latter  
moves the beam spot along the radius, on the surface of an optical disk (seek  
operation).  
The actuator section is directly driven by a linear voice coil motor. The tracking  
actuator is based on the pulse-width modulation (PWM) system and realizes low  
power consumption and high-speed access.  
(4) Separate optical sections  
The optical head section has a split structure in which the fixed optics section is  
separated from the moving optics section to minimize seek time and positioning  
error. This reduces the weight of the moving parts.  
The fixed optics section consists of the laser diodes, collimator lens, separation  
prism, condensing lens, and the optical detector.  
A laser diode for recording and playback transmits one laser beam to the actuator  
section.  
(5) Panel  
The central part of the panel is hollowed out to provide enough space to enable  
the cartridge to be inserted by pushing it with a finger, thereby facilitating  
insertion.  
The panel is also simply designed using an eject button that also serves as LED  
light emitting part.

The control circuit consists of a SCSI controller, which controls operations  
between the SCSI interface and the drive interface, and a device circuit section,  
which controls the drive circuit.  
(1) SCSI controller circuit section  
The SCSI controller circuit, which uses an LSI for improved reliability, controls  
the drive through SCSI interface control, read-write control, beam control, etc., by  
using one high-speed microprocessor (MPU).  
(2) Drive circuit section  
The drive circuit section consists of the laser diode light emitting control circuit,  
signal reproduction circuit, servo/seek control circuit, rotation control circuit, and  
other control circuits. In particular, the servo/seek control circuit consists of a  
DSP (digital signal processor) for circuit reduction and the realization of a simple  
configuration.  
The drive circuit section performs the seek, erase, record, and playback operations  
while controlling the focus tracking of the beam.

2) Device failures include failures requiring repair, readjustment, or  
replacement. However, they do not include failures that are not due to the  
optical disk drive itself but to external factors such as careless device  
handling, nonsupport of environmental requirements, power failures, host  
system errors, and interface cable errors.

3.1 Environmental Requirements  
3.2 Mounting Requirements  
3.3 Power supply Requirements  
3.4 Connection Requirement  
This chapter describes environmental, mounting, power supply, and connection  
requirements.  
3.1 Environmental Requirements  
The optical disk drive must be installed in an environment complying with the  
ambient environmental requirements defined in Section 2.1.3.  
3.1.1 Temperature measurement points  
While the drive is operating, the ambient temperatures measured 3 cm away from  
the surfaces of the optical disk drive must satisfy the ambient environmental  
requirements specified in Section 2.1.3. As for the surface temperatures during  
operation, the contact temperatures measured at the points shown in Figure 3.1  
must satisfy the temperature requirements specified in Section 3.1.2.

GB).  
The following describes a procedure for measuring the temperature inside a  
cartridge.  
1) At the bottom of the cartridge, open a hole large enough for the thermocouple  
to be inserted as shown in Figure 3.1.  
2) Disassemble the cartridge.  
3-2  
C156-E228-02EN  
3.1 Environmental Requirements  
3) Cut off part of the wall surrounding the optical disk (disk outer wall) as  
shown in Figure 3.1.  
At this point, cut off a section 5 to 10 mm in width from the disk outer wall.  
4) Using an adhesive agent, affix the tip of the thermocouple to the opening of  
the disk outer wall.  
5) Pass the thermocouple through the hole in the cartridge and reassemble the  
cartridge.  
Using an adhesive agent, etc., fill any gap between the hole and the  
thermocouple.  
Note:  
The surface of the cartridge shown in Figure 3.1 has been cut away to  
illustrate the elements inside the cartridge. Do not actually cut away the  
surface.  
If the external environment temperature rises above the specified value,  
the drive will take protective action to deal with the temperature increase  
by automatically placing an interval between commands before  
responding to a command.

Notes:  
1. The above data was taken in a constant temperature chamber in which the  
temperature around the optical disk drive was kept at 45°C. The data was not  
taken with the drive installed in a box in which the drive is actually used.  
2. Note that, when installed in a box, the ambient temperature around the drive  
will differ depending on the air circulation conditions of the box, and the  
temperature increase inside the cartridge will differ accordingly.  
C156-E228-02EN

Installation Requirements  
3.1.4 Air flow  
It is recommended that this optical disk drive be installed in a fanless cabinet.  
However, if the power supply is included in the same cabinet, the “Temperature  
Conditions” in 3.1.2 must be met. Furthermore, we recommend that the speed of  
air drawing in by the device from the left side of the cartridge loading slot in the  
front panel dose not exceed 0.3m/s for MCM3064SS or MCM3130SS, and dose  
not exceed 0.1m/s for MCP3064SS or MCP3130SS. If this unit is to be used as a  
built-in drive, the system fan (if one is supplied) must meet the same conditions.  
3.1.5 Air cleanliness  
The air cleanliness in the device environment is expressed by the number of dust  
particles per unit area. Fujitsu recommends using the optical disk drive in the  
environment of class 5 million or less particle level. (Class 5 million: This means  
there are 5 million dust particles of 0.5 µm diameter or larger per cubic foot. This  
is equivalent to 0.15 mg/m3.)  
3.2 Mounting Requirements

Installation Requirements  
3.2.4 Precautions on mounting  
(1) Mounting frame structure and clearance  
a) For vibration resistance and heat dissipation, mount this optical disk drive  
using a frame having an embossed structure shown in Figure 3.6 or a similar  
structure providing an equivalent function.  
b) A mounting screw must have an inward projection (entry depth) of 3 mm or  
less from the outer surface of the mounting frame of the optical disk drive as  
shown in Figure 3.6.  
c) The upward-downward and left-right clearance between the external surface  
of the mounting frame of the optical disk drive and the user's emboss-  
structure frame must be at least 1.5 mm.  
d) The floating clearance of the optical disk drive must be 1.5 mm or more.  
e) When mounting the optical disk drive, the screw tightening torque must be  
0.4 to 0.45Nm (4 to 4.6kgf-cm).  
If the screw tightening torque exceeds the prescribed value, the unit fixture  
tap may break, leading to degraded device performance.  
f) When the optical disk drive (with a panel) is mounted in a cabinet, there  
should be no distortion or deformation in the target housing or the mounting  
fittings. Furthermore, the optical disk drive's panel must not be deformed.  
If the drive is used with the panel deformed, ejection of the cartridge will  
be faulty.  
Make sure that the door closes from any position after mounting the optical  
disk drive.

3.2 Mounting Requirements  
(2) Checking the panel function  
There must not be any deformation in the panel after the optical disk drive is  
installed in a cabinet. Make sure that the door of the disk insertion slot closes  
from any location with the drive installed in the cabinet.  
(3) Service areas  
Figure 3.7 shows the locations that need to be accessed for installation, and after  
installation is carried out.  
Figure 3.7 Service areas  
(4) External magnetic fields  
Mount the optical disk drive away from powerful magnetic materials (e.g., a  
speaker) to avoid any adverse effects from external magnetic fields.  
(5) Leak magnetic field  
The VCM drive magnetic circuit may leak a magnetic field (Up to 2.5 mT at a  
distance of 4 mm from the drive surface).  
Do not place any devices 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).  
(7) System ground (handling of SG and FG)  
The optical disk drive must be grounded to the signal ground (SG) of the power  
supply of the user's system. This SG line must be supplied with the system as well  
as the power line.  
C156-E228-02EN  
3-13  
Installation Requirements  
The optical disk drive can be mounted in a 120 mm (5 inch) device  
bay of the PC chassis using either a metal frame or a plastic  
(nonconductive material) frame.  
If a plastic frame is used, the personal computer's FG and the optical  
disk drive's FG are not shorted. Consequently, the static electricity  
tolerance is inferior to that realized when a metal frame is used.  
Fujitsu recommends using a metal frame. In particular, a metal  
frame must be used especially when high static electricity tolerance  
is required.  
3.3 Power Supply Requirements  
(1) Allowable input voltage and current  
The DC power supply input voltage must satisfy the requirements described in  
Section 2.1.3, "Environmental and power requirements" when measured at the  
power supply connector pin (receiving end) of the optical disk drive (For other  
requirements, see items (4) and (5) below).  
(2) Current waveform (reference)  
Figure 3.8 shows the current waveform while a disk is inserted.  
Figure 3.8 MCM3130SS current waveform (+5 VDC)  
(3) Power on/off sequence  
a) In a system which uses the terminating resistor power supply signal  
(TERMPWR) of the SCSI bus, the requirements for +5 VDC given in Figure  
3.9 must be satisfied between the drive and at least one of the SCSI devices  
supplying power to that signal.  
3-14  
C156-E228-02EN  
3.3 Power Supply Requirements  
Figure 3.9 Power on/off sequence (1)  
b) In a system which does not use the terminating resistor power supply signal  
(TERMPWR) of the SCSI bus, the requirements for +5 VDC given in Figure  
3.10 must be satisfied between the drive and the SCSI device with the  
terminating resistor circuit.

c) Between the drive and other SCSI devices on the SCSI bus, the +5 VDC  
power on/off sequence is as follows:  
In a system with all its SCSI devices designed to prevent noise leakage to the  
SCSI bus when the power is turned on or off, the power sequence does  
not matter if the requirement in (a) or (b) is satisfied.  
In a system containing an SCSI device which is not designed to prevent noise  
leakage to the SCSI bus, the requirement given in Figure 3.11 must be  
satisfied between the SCSI device and the drive.  
Figure 3.11  
Power on/off sequence (3)

3-15  
Installation Requirements  
(4) Power supply to SCSI terminating resistor  
If the power for the terminating resistor is supplied from the drive to other SCSI  
devices through the SCSI bus, the current-carrying capacity of the +5 VDC power  
supply line to the optical disk drive must be designed with consideration of an  
increase of up to 900 mA.  
Select a method of power supply to the drive in accordance with the setting  
terminal of the optical disk drive. See Subsection 4.3.3.  
(5) Noise filter  
To eliminate AC line noise, a noise filter should be installed at the AC input  
terminal on the power supply unit of the drive. The noise filter specifications are  
as follows:  
Attenuation: 40 dB or more at 10 MHz  
Circuit configuration: The T-configuration shown in Figure 3.12.

This chapter describes notes on handling the drives, connection modes, settings,  
mounting the drives, cable connections, and operation confirmation and  
preparation for use after installation, and notes on demounting the drives.  
4.1 Notes on Drive Handling  
(1) General notes  
Note the following points to maintain drive performance and reliability:  
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 PCA 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) Unpackaging  
a) 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.  
C156-E228-02EN  
4-1  
Installation  
b) Use care to avoid exerting excessive pressure on the unit when removing the  
cushions.  
c) Use care to avoid exerting excessive pressure on the PCA surface and  
interface connectors when removing the drive from the antistatic bag.  
d) 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.  
(3) Installation  
a) Do not connect or disconnect the connectors or change the terminal settings  
when the power is on.  
b) Do not move the drive with the power on.  
c) Eject the optical disk cartridge, lock the carriage securing the head, turn off  
the power, then move the drive.  
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) Packaging  
a) Before packaging, remove the optical cartridge.  
b) Store the drive in an antistatic plastic bag with desiccant (silica gel).  
c) 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 PCA surface and interface connectors must be  
used.  
d) Ap "UP" and "Handle With Care" labels to the outside of the package.  
Figure 4.1 shows the individual packaging style and Figure 4.2 shows the gathered  
packaging style. (The form and material of the cushion may be changed.)

(5) Transportation  
a) Transport the package with the UP sign upward.  
b) 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  
a) Use moistureproof packaging when storing the drive.  
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 sharp changes in temperature.

(5) Spindle automatic stop mode  
Normally, with the cartridge loaded, the spindle rotation is maintained until the  
spindle is instructed to stop by the START/STOP UNIT command. The spindle  
auto stop function automatically stops the spindle after the command has not been  
issued from the host for about 33 minutes (default value). When the command is  
issued from the host with the spindle automatically stopped, the optical disk derive  
turns the spindle again and performs processing in the same manner as in a ready  
state without posting a not ready state.  
C156-E228-02EN

Installation  
The access supervision time from the host is about 33 minutes as the default.  
However, it can be changed by the MODE SELECT command.  
The spindle auto stop mode can also be changed by the MODE SELECT  
command.

4.5 Cable Connections  
4.4.2 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) For a system with an external operator panel mounted, connect the external  
operator panel cable before mounting the drive in the system cabinet because  
it is difficult to access the connector after the drive is mounted.  
2) 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 4.6kgf-cm).  
Be careful not to damage the parts on the PCA when mounting the drive.  
3) 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)  
4.5 Cable Connections  
Use the following cables to connect the drive to the system. See Subsection 3.4.2  
for details on the connector positions and cable requirements.  
Power supply cable  
SCSI cable  
External operator panel 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.  
1) Make sure that the system power is off.  
2) Do not connect or disconnect any cable when the power is on.  
1) Connect the power cable.  
2) Connect the external operator panel (only if required for the system).  
3) Connect the SCSI cable.  
C156-E228-02EN  
4-13  
Installation  
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.  
1) Be careful of the insertion directions of SCSI connectors. For a  
system in which the terminating resistor power is supplied via  
the SCSI cable, connecting connectors in the wrong direction  
may cause the following:  
The overcurrent protection fuse of the terminating resistor  
power supply (SCSI device) may blow when power is turned  
on.  
The cable may burn if overcurrent protection is not provided.  
2) Be careful of cable connector positions when connecting more  
than one SCSI device. The SCSI device having the terminating  
resistor must be connected to the end of the cable.  
3) The cables must be kept away from the rotating part of the  
spindle motor.  
4.6 Operation Confirmation and Preparation for Use after  
Installation  
4.6.1 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.  
4-14  
C156-E228-02EN  
4.6 Operation Confirmation and Preparation for Use after Installation  
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.  
4.6.2 SCSI connection check  
When initial operation checks out normally after the power is turned on, check  
whether the drive is correctly connected to the SCSI bus from the host system.  
Checking the SCSI connection depends on the host system configuration. This  
section describes the general procedure.  
(1) Procedure  
Figure 4.6 shows the recommended checking procedure.  
Note:  
Steps a) to c) correspond to a) to c) in Figure 4.6.  
a) Issue the TEST UNIT READY command and check that the drive is  
connected correctly to the SCSI bus.  
b) Use the WRITE BUFFER and READ BUFFER commands to check whether  
the SCSI bus operates normally. Use data whose bits change to 0 or 1 at least  
once. (Example: A X'00' to X'FF'increment pattern)  
c) Check whether the settings are correct. Also, make sure that the controller  
and drive operate normally.

4.7 Dismounting Drive  
(2) If processing terminates abnormally:  
a) If sense data has been obtained by the REQUEST SENSE command, analyze  
the sense data. If the error is recoverable, retry the processing.  
b) Check the following items for SCSI cable connection:  
All connectors, including other SCSI devices, are connected correctly.  
A terminating resistor is correctly mounted at both ends of the cable.  
Power is supplied to the terminating resistors correctly.  
c) Check the settings of all terminals are correct. Note that the procedure of  
checking the SCSI connection depends on the setting of "spindle automatic  
stop".  
4.7 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.  
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 cable.  
3) When an external operator panel is mounted, remove its cable. If it is difficult  
to access the connector, remove the cable after step e).  
4) Remove the DC ground cable.  
5) Remove the four screws securing the drive, then remove the drive from the  
system cabinet.  
6) When storing or transporting the drive, put the drive into an antistatic bag.  
(See Section 4.1.)

5.2 Cleaning of Optical Disk Drive  
5.3 Operation of Optical Disk Cartridge  
5.4 Cleaning of Optical Disk Cartridge  
This chapter describes how to operate and clean the optical disk drive and an  
optical disk cartridge.  
5.1 Operation of Optical Disk Drive  
The optical disk drive has automatic load and eject functions. All of the operator  
must do about the drive is to insert an optical disk cartridge and push the eject  
button. This section explains loading and ejecting an optical disk cartridge,  
assuming that the drive is mounted horizontally. You can operate the drive in the  
same manner even when it is mounted vertically.  
Figure 5.1 shows the front view of the optical disk drive. The following sections  
explain the names and functions of parts that a user should know for operation as  
well as methods of loading and ejecting an optical disk cartridge.  
5.1.1 Appearance of optical disk drive  
1) Disk insertion slot  
2) Eject button/BUSY LED  
3) Manual eject hole

The following explains the parts and functions of the optical disk drive (the  
following numbers correspond to those in Figures 5.1):  
C156-E228-02EN  
5-1  
Operation and Cleaning  
1) Disk insertion slot  
Insert and eject an optical disk cartridge into and out of this slot.  
2) Eject button & BUSY LED (indicator lamp)  
On this optical disk drive, the eject button serves also as the BUSY LED  
(indicator lamp). Eject an optical disk cartridge by pressing this button,  
which also goes on in green during seeking and during erasing, writing or  
reading of data. When ejection is disabled by an SCSI command, an optical  
disk cartridge cannot be taken out.  
3) Manual eject hole  
Use this hole to eject an optical disk cartridge manually at power-off.  
5.1.2 Precautions  
To maintain the performance and reliability of the drive and to prevent data from  
being damaged, observe the following instructions:  
Do not eject an optical disk cartridge while the drive is in the Busy state.  
Particularly, do not manually eject the cartridge by force.  
Be extra careful not to insert the wrong media such as a floppy disk or foreign  
matter, which causes a malfunction of the drive.  
5.1.3 Inserting an optical disk cartridge  
Insert an optical disk cartridge as follows (see Figure 5.2):  
(1) While the drive is powered on:  
1) Make sure that there is no other optical disk cartridge in the drive.  
2) Hold an optical disk cartridge with the printed shutter surface facing upward.  
3) Press the opening section of the cartridge against the disk insertion slot.  
4) Hold the center of the rear half of the cartridge to insert the cartridge straight  
into the slot until the cartridge is lowered to the bottom (a little inside the  
operator panel).  
The cartridge starts to be loaded when it has been inserted. The BUSY LED  
indicator lamp goes on immediately and goes off in a few seconds, indicating the  
completion of loading.  
Notes:  
1. Insert a cartridge as far as it will go until the BUSY LED indicator lamp goes  
on.  
2. A cartridge may not be sufficiently inserted if you press only the left or right  
edge of the rear half of the cartridge. Be sure to push the central part straight  
into the slot as far as it will go.  
5-2  
C156-E228-02EN  
5.1 Operation of Optical Disk Drive  
3. If the BUSY LED indicator lamp does not go on after a cartridge is inserted,  
press the eject/BUSY LED button once to eject the cartridge and insert it  
again.  
4. Do not forcibly insert a cartridge if you have any difficulty inserting it. If you  
do, the drive may be damaged. In such a case, be sure to remove the cartridge  
once and check the insertion orientation and the face and back of the cartridge  
before inserting it again.  
(2) While the drive is powered off:  
1) Make sure that there is no other optical disk cartridge in the drive.  
2) Hold an optical disk cartridge with the printed shutter surface facing upward.  
3) Press the opening section of the cartridge against the disk insertion slot.  
4) Hold the center of the rear half of the cartridge to insert the cartridge straight  
into the slot until the cartridge is lowered to the bottom (a little inside the  
operator panel).  
The cartridge remains where it has been inserted. If you power on the drive, the  
BUSY LED indicator lamp goes on.  
Notes:  
1. If the BUSY LED indicator lamp does not go on when the power is turned on,  
press the eject button to eject the cartridge and then insert it again until the  
lamp goes on.  
2. A cartridge may not be sufficiently inserted if you press only the left or right  
edge of the rear half of the cartridge. Be sure to push the central part straight  
into the slot as far as it will go.  
3. Do not forcibly insert a cartridge if you have any difficulty inserting it. If you  
do, the drive may be damaged. In such a case, be sure to remove the cartridge  
once and check the insertion orientation and the face and back of the cartridge  
before inserting it again.  
Push on the back of the cartridge somewhere within the area extending 20 mm  
from left of center to 20mm from right of center, up to the location shown on  
the right.

Operation and Cleaning  
If you insert an optical disk cartridge with the printed shutter facing  
upward by pressing on the rear of cartridge at the left edge, you may  
hear an audible click but the drive may not become READY. In  
such a case, press the cartridge further by pressing on the back of the  
cartridge from the center (somewhere near the notched section of the  
panel front) until the LED indication lamp goes on. If this happens,  
the cartridge has been normally inserted.  
5.1.4 Removing an optical disk cartridge  
Remove an optical disk cartridge as described below.  
(1) While the drive is powered on:  
1) Press the eject switch to remove an optical disk cartridge (see Figure 5.3).  
Notes:  
1. No optical disk cartridge can be removed if the SCSI command inhibits  
ejection.  
2. Remove an optical disk cartridge after it is completely ejected.  
3. Be careful not to let a cartridge drop out of the drive when it is ejected. This  
may happen depending on the ambient environment and the cartridge's  
condition even if the drive installation conditions are met.  
(2) While the drive is powered off:  
While the drive is powered off, you cannot remove an optical disk cartridge by  
pressing the eject switch.  
To remove a cartridge in such a case, insert an accessory eject jig or a pin about 1  
mm in diameter into the manual eject hole (see Figure 5.1) and push on it.  
Notes:  
1. NEVER eject a cartridge while the BUSY LED lamp is on. The data may be  
destroyed or the drive may be damaged.  
2. Note that a cartridge may drop out of the drive when it is ejected.  
3. Do not carry the optical disk drive around while a cartridge is loaded in it.

Diagnostics  
Maintenance Information  
This chapter provides diagnostics and maintenance information.  
6.1 Diagnostics  
Table 6.1 lists test items during diagnostics.  
The optical disk drive has a self-diagnostics function. This function can check the  
normality of basic operations of the drive.  
To check the generation operations including the operations of the interface with  
the host system, provide a test program that can run in the host system (see Section  
6.1.3).

6.1.1 Initial self-diagnostics  
When the power is turned on, the optical disk drive executes initial self-  
diagnostics. The initial self-diagnostics tests basic hardware operations.  
The hardware function test checks the normality of the basic operations of the  
controller. This test includes the normality check of the ROM that stores  
microcodes, microprocessor (MPU) peripheral circuit test, memory (RAM) test,  
and data buffer test.  
The LED on the drive front panel blinks if an error is detected during initial self-  
diagnostics.  
C156-E228-02EN  
6-1  
Diagnostics and Maintenance  
6.1.2 Diagnostic command  
The host system issues the EXECUTIVE DEVICE DIAGNOSTIC command to  
cause the ODD to execute self-diagnostics.  
See the description on the EXECUTIVE DEVICE DIAGNOSTIC command for  
more information.  
6.1.3 Test program  
To check the operations of the interface with the host system and the general  
operations in an environment that simulates an actual operation status, provide a  
test program that can run in the host system.  
The configuration and function of the test program depend on the requirements of  
the user system.  
To comprehensively test the functions of the optical disk drive, the Fujitsu  
recommends that the test program include the following test items:  
(1) Random/sequential read test  
Use the READ or VERIFY command to test the positioning (seek) and read  
operations in both random access mode and sequential access mode.  
(2) Write/read test  
Using a disk whose data may be erased, execute write/read test based on arbitrary  
data patterns.  
6.2 Maintenance Information  
6.2.1 Maintenance requirements  
(1) Preventive maintenance  
No preventive maintenance is required.  
(2) Service life  
This drive will not require overhaul within the first five years of installation if it is  
used in an appropriate environment and handled as recommended.

Data loss: For a repair request, you normally do not need to  
include any optical disk cartridge with an optical disk drive.  
However, you do need to include a cartridge if errors keep occurring  
with a specific cartridge. In such a case, be sure to save data stored  
in the cartridge before sending it in. Fujitsu shall bear no  
responsibility for any data lost during service or repair.  
See Section 5.3.3, "Precautions" for information on packing and handling a drive  
when you send it to Fujitsu.  
6.2.2 Revision number  
The revision number of an optical disk drive is represented with an alphabetic  
character followed by a single-digit number. The revision number is shown on a  
revision label attached to the drive. For example, Figure 6.1 shows the format of a  
revision label.

This chapter describes the structure of the SCSI bus, electrical conditions,  
interface protocol and their operations.  
The ODD operates on the SCSI bus as a TARG. In this chapter, the  
ODD is represented as "TARG" except where some special  
distinction must be made.  
7.1 System Configuration  
Up to eight SCSI devices can be connected to the SCSI bus. Figure 7.1 shows a  
sample system configurations of a multi-host system. Number of devices to be  
connected is restricted according to the synchronized transfer speed. Refer to the  
related specifications for detail. Communication on the SCSI bus is allowed  
between only two SCSI devices, an initiator (INIT) and a target (TARG), at any  
given time.  
In the configured system, any combination is allowed for an SCSI device to work  
as an INIT and as a TARG. Also, there may be an SCSI device that works as both  
an INIT and a TARG.  
A unique address (SCSI ID) is assigned to each SCSI device. The SCSI ID  
corresponds to one bit of the SCSI data bus. The INIT designates an I/O device  
connected to the TARG by its logical unit number (LUN).  
The SCSI ID of the ODD can be selectable among #0 to #7, but the LUN is fixed  
to #0.  
C156-E228-02EN  
7-1  
SCSI BUS  
Host  
system A  
Host  
system B  
Figure 7.1 Example of SCSI configuration  
A unique device address (SCSI ID: #n in Figure 7.1) is assigned to each SCSI  
device. Input-output devices connected to or under an SCSI device operating as a  
target are accessed in logical units. A unique device address (LUN: logical unit  
number) is assigned to each logical unit.  
An initiator specifies an SCSI ID to select an SCSI device operating as a target,  
then specifies an LUN to select the input-output device connected to or under the  
target.  
An optical disk drive is constructed with all volumes as a single logical unit.  
Specificable SCSI IDs and LUN are as follows:  
SCSI ID: #0 to #7 selectable (setting terminal or external input)  
LUN: #0 (fixed)  
7-2  
C156-E228-02EN  
7.2 Interface Signal Definition  
7.2 Interface Signal Definition  
There is a total of eighteen signals. Nine are used for control and nine are used for  
data (1 byte data + 1 odd parity bit). Figure 7.2 shows interface signal lines.  
Figure 7.2 Interface signals  
C156-E228-02EN  
7-3  
SCSI BUS  
(1) DB 7 to 0, P (DATA BUS)  
These signals form a bidirectional data bus consisting eight data bits and an odd  
parity bit.  
MSB (27): DB7, LSB (20): DB0  
The DATA BUS is used to transfer commands, data, status, or messages in the  
INFORMATION TRANSFER phase. SCSI IDs are sent to the DATA BUS in the  
ARBITRATION phase for determining the priority of bus arbitration. In the  
SELECTION or RESELECTION phase, SCSI IDs of the INIT and the TARG are  
indicated on the DATA BUS. Figure 7.3 shows the correspondence between  
DATA BUS bits and SCSI IDs.  
Figure 7.3 DATA BUS and SCSI ID  
When the DB(n) signal is true, the data bit (n) is 1, and when false, it is 0.  
The use of a parity bit is a system option. The ODD handles parity as shown  
below:  
The ODD implements the bus parity check feature, which can be enabled or  
disabled by a setting terminal on the ODD. For the setting terminal, refer to  
Item (2) in Subsection 4.3.1 in OEM Manual -Specifications & Installation-.  
Parity values are always guaranteed when valid data is transferred to the data  
bus from the ODD in a phase other than the ARBITRATION phase.  
(2) BSY (BUSY)  
This signal indicates that the SCSI bus is being used. In the ARBITRATION  
phase, it indicates an arbitration request.  
7-4  
C156-E228-02EN  
7.2 Interface Signal Definition  
(3) SEL (SELECT)  
This signal is used by an INIT to select a TARG (SELECTION phase) or by a  
TARG to reselect an INIT (RESELECTION phase).  
(4) C/D (CONTROL/DATA)  
This signal is driven by a TARG to identify the type of information transferred on  
the DATA BUS in combination of I/O and MSG signals. (See Table 7.1)  
(5) I/O (INPUT/OUTPUT)  
This signal is driven by a TARG to specify the information transfer direction on  
the DATA BUS or to identify a SELECTION or RESELECTION phase. (See  
Table 7.1)  
(6) MSG (MESSAGE)  
This signal is driven by a TARG to indicate that a message is being transferred on  
the DATA BUS. (See Table 7.1)  
(7) REQ (REQUEST)  
This signal is driven by a TARG to indicate a transfer request to an INIT in  
INFORMATION TRANSFER phase.  
(8) ACK (ACKNOWLEDGE)  
This signal is driven by an INIT to indicate a response for REQ signal to a TARG  
in the INFORMATION TRANSFER phase.  
(9) ATN (ATTENTION)  
This signal is driven by an INIT to indicate that the INIT has a message to be  
transferred to the TARG and is used to generate an ATTENTION condition.  
(10)RST (RESET)  
This signal indicates the RESET condition which is used to clear all SCSI devices  
on the bus.

7.3 Physical Requirements  
7.3.2 Interface cable  
For the interface cable, a 25-pair, twisted-pair cable that satisfies the requirements  
listed in Table 7.2 should be used.  
Table 7.2 Interface cable requirements  
Item  
Conductor size  
28 AWG or bigger  
Characteristic impedance  
100to 132Ω  
In the 25-pair twisted cable, pins n and n + 1 (where n is odd) on the interface  
connector must be connected to a pair. Cables having the same characteristic  
impedance must be used in the same SCSI bus to reduce signal reflection and  
maintain transmission characteristics.  
The maximum length of the interface cable is 6 m. But the cable length is  
restricted according to the synchronized transfer speed. When an SCSI device is  
connected to the interface cable except at one of the ends, the connection to the  
SCSI connector must be at a cable branchpoint. When an SCSI device is  
connected to an end of the SCSI bus, there must not be any cable wiring after the  
SCSI device unless the cable has a terminating resistor. (See Figure 7.7.)

The TERMPWR signal on the interface connector is used to supply power to the  
terminating resistor circuit connected to both ends of the cable. In a system  
configuration where the terminating resistor is installed outside the SCSI device or  
if there is a possibility of the power to the SCSI device with the terminating  
resistor being cut off, power for the terminating resistor must be supplied to the  
TERMPWR line from an SCSI device on the bus. The SCSI device always  
working as an INIT (example: host adapter) should supply that power. Power  
must be supplied to the TERMPWR line through a diode or other element to  
prevent reverse current.  
Table 7.3 lists the requirements for terminating the resistor power supply (Vterm)

Two driving methods are available: "OR-tied" type and "non-OR-tied" type as  
indicated in Table 7.5.  
Table 7.5 Signal driving method  
Signal status  
Driving method  
"OR-tied" type  
"Non-OR-tied" type  
False (*1)  
True  
No SCSI device drives a signal. The  
signal becomes false when the  
terminating resistor circuit is biased.  
A particular SCSI device drives the  
signal false. Otherwise, no SCSI  
device drives the signal.  
An SCSI device drives the signal true.  
*1  
In this manual, the signal is said to be false if one of the following  
conditions is satisfied.  
The signal is actually driven by an SCSI device to become false (non-OR-  
tied type).  
No SCSI device is driving the signal (OR-tied type or non-OR-tied type).  
In the interface operating sequence, the driving method of the BSY and RST  
signals which may be driven by two or more SCSI devices simultaneously must be  
the "OR-tied" type. Signals other than BSY, RST, or DBP are not driven by more  
than one SCSI device. Signals other than BSY or RST can be driven by either the  
"OR-tied" type or "non-OR-tied" type. The DBP signal must not be driven false in  
the ARBITRATION phase. For signals other than BSY or RST, both "OR-tied"  
and "non-OR-tied" types can be mixed on the SCSI bus.

SCSI BUS  
7.6 Bus Phases  
The SCSI bus must be in one of the following eight phases:  
BUS FREE phase  
ARBITRATION phase  
SELECTION phase  
RESELECTION phase  
COMMAND phase  
DATA phase  
INFORMATION TRANSFER phase  
STATUS phase  
MESSAGE phase  
The SCSI bus can never be in more than one phase at any given time.  
Note:  
In the following bus phase definition, signals are false unless  
otherwise defined. Signals on the timing charts are assumed to be  
positive logic.  
7.6.1 BUS FREE phase  
No SCSI device uses the bus during a BUS FREE phase. SCSI devices shall  
detect the BUS FREE phase after SEL and BSY signals are both false for at least  
Bus Settle Delay.  
SCSI devices which have detected the BUS FREE phase shall release all bus  
signals within Bus Clear Delay after BSY and SEL become false for a Bus Settle  
Delay. If an SCSI device requires more than Bus Settle Delay to detect the BUS  
FREE phase, it shall release all bus signals within the following period (t):  
t = (Bus Clear Delay) – (Period required for BUS FREE phase detection)  
+ (Bus Settle Delay)  
The maximum time allowed for releasing the bus after both SEL and BSY  
becomes false is 1.2 µs.  
Figure 7.9 shows the BUS FREE phase.

7.6 Bus Phases  
Bus Settle Delay (Min)  
Bus Clear Delay (Max)  
Bus Settle Delay +  
Bus Clear Delay (Max)  
Figure 7.9 BUS FREE phase  
Transition to a BUS FREE phase occurs when the TARG stops the BSY signal in  
one of the following events:  
When the RESET condition has been detected  
When the TARG has received ABORT message  
When the TARG has received a BUS DEVICE RESET message  
When the TARG has sent a DISCONNECT message normally  
When the TARG has sent a COMMAND COMPLETE message normally  
If a SELECTION or RESELECTION phase is terminated unsuccessfully, the  
SCSI bus enters a BUS FREE phase. This BUS FREE phase is generated when  
the SEL signal becomes false.  
In cases other than the above, if the TARG negates the BSY signal to enter a BUS  
FREE phase, the TARG informs the INIT that it has detected an ERROR  
condition on the SCSI bus. The TARG can enter a BUS FREE phase forcibly  
regardless of the ATN signal status; the INIT must treat that phase transition as  
indicating abnormal end of a command. The TARG clears all retained data or  
status and terminates the command being executed. It can then create sense data  
indicating the detailed error condition. If the INIT detects a BUS FREE phase  
when it is not expected, it should issue a REQUEST SENSE command to read the  
sense data.  
C156-E228-02EN  
7-19  
SCSI BUS  
7.6.2 ARBITRATION phase  
The ARBITRATION phase allows one SCSI device to gain control of the SCSI  
bus so that an INIT starts the SELECTION phase or a TARG starts the  
RESELECTION phase.  
Implementation of the ARBITRATION phase is a system option. This phase is  
required for system that has two or more INITs or uses the RESELECTION phase.  
The procedure to obtain control of the SCSI bus is as follows (see Figure 7.10):  
1) The SCSI device shall wait for a BUS FREE phase (see Subsection 7.6.1).  
2) The SCSI device shall wait at least Bus Free Delay after Bus Free phase  
detection.  
3) Then the SCSI device that arbitrates the bus asserts the DATA BUS bit  
corresponding to its own SCSI ID and BSY signal within Bus Set Delay after  
last observation of the BUS FREE phase (*1).  
4) After waiting at least Arbitration Delay since the SCSI device asserted the  
BSY signal, the SCSI device shall examine the value on the DATA BUS to  
determine the priority of the bus arbitration. (The priority of the bus  
arbitration is in the descending order of data bus bit numbers; the highest  
priority is DB7 (ID#7) and the lowest priority is DB0 (ID#0)).  
When the SCSI device detects any ID bit which is assigned higher  
priority than its own SCSI ID, the SCSI device shall release its signals  
(BSY and its SCSI ID), then may return to step 1). (The SCSI device #1  
in Figure 7.10 has lost the arbitration.)  
The SCSI device which detects no higher SCSI ID bit on the DATA  
BUS can obtain the bus control, then it shall assert SEL signal. (The  
SCSI device #7 in Figure 7.10 has won the arbitration.)  
Any other SCSI device that is participating in the ARBITRATION  
phase shall release its signals within Bus Clear Delay after the SEL  
signal becomes true, then may return to step 1). (The SCSI device #3 in  
Figure 7.10 has lost the arbitration.)  
5) The SCSI device which wins arbitration (SCSI device #7 in Figure 7.10) shall  
wait at least Bus Clear Delay + Bus Settle Delay after asserting the SEL  
signal before changing any signal state.  
*1: When an SCSI device sends its SCSI ID to the DATA BUS, it asserts only the  
bit at the position corresponding to its own ID and leaves the other seven bits  
false. The parity bit (DBP signal) is not driven or is driven true, rather than  
false. The parity bit on the DATA BUS is unpredictable during an  
ARBITRATION phase.

7.6.3 SELECTION phase  
An INIT can select a TARG in the SELECTION phase.  
Note:  
I/O signal is false during a SELECTION phase. (The I/O signal  
identifies the phase as SELECTION or RESELECTION).  
(1) Start sequence without ARBITRATION phase  
In systems with the ARBITRATION phase not implemented, the INIT starts the  
SELECTION phase in the following sequence (See Figure 7.11).  
1) The INIT shall wait for at least Bus Clear Delay after BUS FREE phase  
detection.  
2) The INIT then asserts its SCSI ID and that of the desired TARG on the data  
bus.  
3) After waiting at least Deskew Delay × 2, the INIT asserts the SEL signal and  
waits for a response from the TARG (BSY signal).  
(2) Start sequence with ARBITRATION phase  
In systems with ARBITRATION phase implemented, the INIT starts the  
SELECTION phase in the following sequence (See Figure 7.11).  
1) The INIT shall wait for at least Bus Clear Delay + Bus Settle Delay after  
turning SEL signal on during the ARBITRATION phase.  
2) The INIT then asserts its SCSI ID and that of the desired TARG on the data  
bus.  
At this time, the SCSI device becomes an INIT without driving the I/O signal.  
3) The INIT releases the BSY signal after waiting at least Deskew Delay × 2.  
The INIT shall then wait at least Bus Settle Delay before looking for the  
response from the TARG (BSY signal).  
(3) Response sequence  
When the SCSI device (TARG) detects that the SEL signal and the data bus bit  
(DBn) corresponding to its SCSI ID are true and the BSY and I/O signals are false  
for more than Bus Settle Delay, it must recognize that itself is selected by the  
SELECTION phase. At this time, the selected TARG may sample all bits on the  
data bus to identify the INIT's SCSI ID.  
The TARG must respond to the INIT by making the BSY signal true within  
Selection Abort Time after detecting that itself is selected. If the SCSI ID with  
three or more bits is detected on the data bus or a parity error is detected in the  
system making the data bus parity bit effective, the TARG must respond to the  
SELECTION phase.  
The values on the DATA BUS can be changed after this time.

(4) Timeout procedure  
If the INIT cannot detect the response from TARG when the Selection Timeout  
Delay (or longer) has passed after starting the SELECTION phase, the timeout  
procedure shall be performed through one of the following schemes:  
The INIT asserts the RST signal and creates the RESET condition.  
The INIT maintains SEL signal true and releases the data bus (SCSI IDs).  
Subsequently, the INIT waits for the response from TARG for at least  
Selection About Time + Deskew Delay × 2. If no response is detected, the  
INIT releases the SEL signal allowing the SCSI bus to go to the BUS FREE  
phase. If the INIT detects the response from TARG during this period, the  
INIT considers the SELECTION phase to have completed normally.  
7.6.4 RESELECTION phase  
The TARG selects an INIT during the RESELECTION phase. The  
RESELECTION phase can only be used in systems with ARBITRATION phase  
implemented.  
The TARG reconnects the INIT using this RESELECTION phase when the  
TARG restarts the command processing that is in the disconnect state on the SCSI  
bus.  
(1) Start sequence  
A TARG performs the RESELECTION phase in the following sequence after  
obtaining control of the SCSI bus through the ARBITRATION phase:  
1) The TARG waits at least Bus Clear Delay + Bus Settle Delay after asserting  
the SEL signal.  
2) The TARG sends the SCSI ID of TARG itself and INIT and asserts the I/O  
signal. (The TARG can obtain control of the SCSI bus by asserting the I/O  
signal.)  
3) The TARG releases the BSY signal after waiting at least Deskew Delay × 2,  
then wait at least Bus Settle Delay before looking for the response from the  
INIT (BSY signal).

(2) Response sequence  
When the SCSI device (INIT) detects that the SEL signal, I/O signal and data bus  
bit (DBn) corresponding to the own SCSI ID are true and the BSY signal is false  
for Bus Settle Delay or more, the INIT shall recognize that the INIT itself is  
selected in the RESELECTION phase. At this time, the selected INIT performs  
sampling to identify the SCSI ID of the TARG that requests the reconnection.  
The INIT shall respond to the TARG by asserting the BSY signal within Selection  
Abort Time.  
When other than 2-bit SCSI ID is detected or when the parity error is detected on  
the system in which the parity bit of the data bus is valid, the INIT shall not  
respond to the RESELECTION phase.  
After the TARG detects the response (BSY signal) from the INIT, the TARG  
asserts the BSY signal, then release the SEL signal after Deskew Delay × 2 or  
more. After this time, the TARG may change the I/O signal state and data bus  
value.  
When the INIT detects that the SEL signal is false, the INIT stops sending the  
BSY signal.  
C156-E228-02EN  
7-25  
SCSI BUS  
(3) Timeout procedure  
If the TARG cannot detect a response from the INIT when the Selection Timeout  
Delay or longer has passed in the RESELECTION phase, the timeout procedure  
shall be performed though one of the following schemes:  
1) The INIT asserts the RST signal to generate the RESET condition.  
2) TARG terminates releasing SCSI ID to DATA BUS with maintaining SEL  
signal and I/O signal in TRUE status. Subsequently, the INIT waits for the  
response from TARG for at least Selection Abort Time + Deskew Delay × 2.  
If no response is detected, the INIT releases the SEL signal allowing the SCSI  
bus to go to the BUS FREE phase. If the INIT detects the response from  
TARG during this period, the INIT considers the SELECTION phase to have  
completed normally.  
The ODD performs process 2) above as RESELECTION-phase time-out  
processing.  
7.6.5 INFORMATION TRANSFER phases  
COMMAND, DATA, STATUS, and MESSAGE phases are generally called  
INFORMATION TRANSFER phases. In these phases, data and control  
information are transferred between the INIT and the TARG through the data bus.  
The type of INFORMATION TRANSFER phase is determined by the  
combination of C/D, I/O, and MSG signals (see Table 7.1). Since these three  
signals are specified by the TARG, phase transition is controlled by the SCSI  
device operating as a TARG. The INIT can request the TARG to initiate an  
MESSAGE OUT phase by sending an ATN signal. Besides, the TARG can  
change the bus phase to BUS FREE by ceasing transmission of the BSY signal.  
Information transfer in an INFORMATION TRANSFER phase is controlled by  
REQ and ACK signals. The REQ signal is sent by the TARG to request data  
transfer, and the ACK signal is a response from the INIT. One pair of REQ and  
ACK signals causes one byte of information to be transferred. According to the  
method of sending an REQ signal and checking the replied ACK signal  
(REQ/ACK handshake), two data transfer modes are defined: synchronous and  
asynchronous.  
During operation in an INFORMATION TRANSFER phase, the BSY signal must  
be kept true by the TARG. The SEL signal must be false. The TARG must  
establish the status of three signals C/D, I/O, and MSG which specify the phase  
type at least Bus Settle Delay before the leading edge of the REQ signal which  
requests transfer of the first byte. The TARG must maintain that status until the  
trailing edge of the ACK signal corresponding to the last byte in the phase (see  
Figure 7.13).

Figure 7.13  
INFORMATION TRANSFER phase (phase control)  
1. After the ACK signal becomes false during the  
INFORMATION TRANSFER phase, the TARG can begin to  
prepare for a new phase by changing the status of C/D, I/O, and  
MSG signals. The status of these three signals can change in  
any order or at once. The status of one signal may change more  
than once; however, the TARG should change the status of each  
signal only once.  
2. Note that a new INFORMATION TRANSFER phase starts  
when the REQ signal that requests transfer of the first byte in  
the phase becomes true. The phase ends when one of C/D, I/O,  
or MSG signal changes after the ACK signal becomes false. The  
period between the time one phase ends and the time the REQ  
signal to initiate the next new phase becomes true is not defined.  
3. The INIT can predict the next new phase (expected phase) from  
the status change of C/D, I/O, and MSG signals or from the type  
of the preceding execution phase executed. However, note that  
the expected phase does not come into effect until the REQ

(1) Asynchronous transfer  
In asynchronous transfer mode, information transfer is controlled by the INIT and  
TARG which are checking the status transition (from false to true and vice versa)  
of REQ and ACK signals (interlock type). Asynchronous transfer can be used in  
all types of INFORMATION TRANSFER phase (COMMAND, DATA,  
STATUS, MESSAGE). Figure 7.14 shows the timing rule of the asynchronous  
transfer.  
a. Transfer from TARG to INIT  
The TARG specifies the information transfer direction by the I/O signal. If  
the I/O signal is true, the information on the DATA BUS is transferred from  
the TARG to the INIT. Information transfer processing is as follows:  
1) The TARG asserts the REQ signal at least Deskew Delay + Cable Skew  
Delay after sending valid information on the data bus (DB7 to DB0, P).  
It must maintain the state of DB7 to DB0, P until the ACK signal  
becomes true on the TARG.  
2) INIT fetches the data from the data bus (DB7 to DB0, P) after the REQ  
signal becomes true. It asserts the ACK signal to report the completion  
of reception.  
3) After the ACK signal becomes true on the TARG, the TARG negates the  
REQ signal. Thereafter, the TARG can change the data of the data bus.  
4) The INIT negates the ACK signal after the REQ signal becomes false.  
5) After the ACK signal becomes false, the TARG proceeds to transfer the  
next byte.  
b. Transfer from INIT to TARG  
When the I/O signal is false, information on the data bus is transferred from  
the INIT to the TARG. Information transfer processing is as follows.  
1) The TARG asserts the REQ signal to request the INIT to send  
information.  
2) The INIT asserts the ACK signal at least Deskew Delay + Cable Skew  
Delay after sending valid information of the requested type on the data  
bus (DB7 to DB0, P). The information on the DATA BUS must be  
maintained until the REQ signal becomes false on the INIT.  
3) The TARG fetches data from the data bus (DB7 to DB0, P) after the  
ACK signal becomes true and negates the REQ signal to report the  
completion of reception.  
4) When the REQ signal becomes false on the INIT, the INIT negates the  
ACK signal. After that, the INIT can change data on the data bus.  
5) The TARG proceeds to the transfer of the next byte after the ACK signal  
becomes false.

SCSI BUS  
(2) Synchronous mode  
Information is transferred through offset-interlock of REQ/ACK handshake.  
Operation in this mode is only available for the DATA phase.  
The default data transfer mode is asynchronous mode. When power  
is first switched on, a RESET condition develops or a BUS  
DEVICE RESET message is exchanged, data transfer is performed  
in asynchronous mode until the message described below is  
exchanged, even if synchronous mode transfer is permitted with the  
setting terminal.  
Before synchronous mode transfer can be used, a SYNCHRONOUS DATA  
TRANSFER REQUEST message must be exchanged between the INIT and  
TARG to define synchronous mode transfer between them. Then, the following  
transfer parameters are determined to define a range of possible transfer rates  
between the SCSI devices.  
REQ/ACK Offset: Number of REQ signals that the TARG can send before  
receiving the ACK signal.  
Transfer Period: Minimum repetition cycle of REQ and ACK signals.  
The TARG can send more than one REQ pulse before receiving the ACK pulse  
from the INIT if the number of REQ pulses is within the range defined by the  
REQ/ACK Offset parameter. When the difference between the number of REQ  
pulses sent by the TARG and the number of ACK pulses received by the TARG  
reaches the number assigned to the REQ/ACK Offset parameter, the TARG must  
not send an REQ pulse until it receives the leading edge of the next ACK pulse.  
For normal termination of transfer in a DATA phase, the number of REQ pulses  
and the number of ACK pulses must be equal.  
The TARG must satisfy the following timing requirements concerning the  
transmission of the REQ signal at the connector pin on the TARG:  
The minimum pulse width is Assertion Period.  
The minimum period from the trailing edge of a pulse to the leading edge of  
the next pulse is Negation Period.  
The period between the leading edges of a pulse and the next pulse is equal to  
or greater than the time defined by the Transfer Period parameter.  
The INIT must respond to the TARG by sending as the same number of ACK  
pulses as the REQ pulses received from the TARG. It can send an ACK signal  
when it receives the leading edge of the corresponding REQ signal. The INIT  
must satisfy the following timing requirements concerning the transmission of the  
ACK signal at the SCSI connector pin on the INIT:  
7-30  
C156-E228-02EN  
7.6 Bus Phases  
The minimum pulse width is Assertion Period.  
The minimum period between the trailing edge of a pulse and the leading  
edge of the next pulse is Negation Period.  
The period between the leading edges of a pulse and the next pulse is equal to  
or greater than the time defined by the Transfer Period parameter.  
Figure 7.15 shows the timing rule of the synchronous mode.  
a. Transfer from TARG to INIT  
The TARG specifies the data transfer direction by the I/O signal. If the I/O  
signal is true, data is transferred from the TARG to the INIT. Transfer  
processing is as follows:  
1) After the TARG sends valid data on the data bus (DB7 to DB0, P), if a  
period elapses that is equal to or longer than the sum of the Deskew  
Delay time and the Cable Skew Delay time, the TARG sends the REQ  
pulse.  
2) Starting with the rise of the REQ pulse, the TARG must hold values on  
the data bus valid for a period equal to or longer than the sum of the  
Deskew Delay time, the Cable Skew Delay time, and the Hold time. The  
TARG must send a REQ pulse having a width of at least the Assertion  
Period.  
3) After compensating for the period defined in 2, the TARG transfers  
subsequent data in bytes within the range defined by the REQ/ACK  
Offset parameter.  
4) Starting with the rise of the REQ pulse, the INIT reads data on the data  
bus (DB7 to DB0, P) within the Hold time. After reading the data, the  
INIT sends the ACK pulse as a receive completion notification.  
b. Transfer from INIT to TARG  
If the I/O signal is false, data is transferred from the INIT to the TARG.  
Transfer processing is as follows:  
1) The TARG repeats the sending of the REQ pulse to request that data be  
sent until the number of REQ pulses reaches a value specified by the  
REQ/ACK Offset parameter.  
2) The INIT transfers one byte of data each time the INIT receives the REQ  
pulse from the TARG. Upon receiving the REQ pulse, the INIT sends  
valid data on the data bus (DB7 to DB0, P). After the elapse of a period  
equal to or longer than the sum of the Deskew Delay time and the Cable  
Skew Delay time, the INIT sends the ACK pulse.  
3) Starting with the rise of the ACK pulse, the INIT must hold the values on  
the data bus valid for a period equal to or longer than the sum of the  
Deskew Delay time, the Cable Skew Delay time, and the Hold time. The  
TARG must send an ACK pulse having a width of at least the Assertion  
Period.

4) Starting with the rise of the ACK pulse, the TARG reads data on the data  
bus (DB7 to DB0, P) within the Hold time.

When the ODD operates as a TARG, wait time for ACK response to REQ can be  
monitored.

7.6 Bus Phases  
7.6.6 COMMAND phase  
The COMMAND phase is a bus phase in which the TARG requests the INIT to  
transfer command information (CDB) to the TARG. The TARG keeps the C/D  
signal true and the I/O and MSG signals false during REQ/ACK handshaking in  
this phase.  
7.6.7 DATA phase  
The DATA phase is divided into DATA IN and DATA OUT phases according to  
the direction of data transfer. In a DATA phase, synchronous data transfer can be  
performed.  
(1) DATA IN phase  
In a DATA IN phase, the TARG requests to transfer data from the TARG to the  
INIT. The TARG keeps the I/O signal true and the C/D and MSG signals false  
during REQ/ACK handshaking in this phase.  
(2) DATA OUT phase  
In a DATA OUT phase, the TARG requests to transfer data from the INIT to the  
TARG. The TARG keeps the C/D, I/O, and MSG signals false during REQ/ACK  
handshaking in this phase.  
(3) Data transfer rate in asynchronous mode  
Figure 7.16 shows the REQ/ACK handshake timing that the ODD observes in a  
DATA phase where asynchronous transfer is used. The data transfer rate on the  
SCSI bus depends on sum of the ACK response time in the INIT and the signal  
delay time of the interface cable (T1 and T2 in Figure 7.16).  
C156-E228-02EN  
7-33  
SCSI BUS  
Figure 7.16  
Data transfer rate in asynchronous mode  
(4) Data transfer rate in synchronous mode  
Table 7.9 lists parameters for synchronous data transfer that can be performed by  
the ODD. Values assigned to these parameters are determined by  
SYNCHRONOUS DATA TRANSFER REQUEST messages transferred between  
the INIT and TARG. In a system with more than one INIT, parameters may vary  
from one INIT to another. The data transfer rate is determined by the value  
assigned to the Transfer Period parameter. To maintain this transfer rate,  
however, an appropriate value must be assigned to the REQ/ACK Offset  
parameter considering the INIT's ACK pulse response performance and the  
interface cable length.  
The formulas below give the approximate average data transfer rate that can be  
achieved on the SCSI bus in synchronous mode. (See Figure 7.17) The notation  
used in the formulas is as follows:

SCSI BUS  
7.6.8 STATUS phase  
In a STATUS phase, the TARG requests to transfer status information from the  
TARG to the INIT. The TARG keeps the C/D and I/O signals true and the MSG  
signal false during REQ/ACK handshaking in this phase.  
7.6.9 MESSAGE phase  
The MESSAGE phase is divided into MESSAGE IN and MESSAGE OUT phases  
depending on the direction of message information transfer. In either phase, more  
than one message can be transferred. The first byte transferred in a MESSAGE  
phase must be a single-byte message or the first byte of a multiple-byte message.  
If the message consists of more than one byte, all bytes must be transferred in a  
single MESSAGE phase. For details of message types and their operation, see  
Chapter 5, "MCD3130SS, MCE3130SS, MCK3130SS, MCM3064SS,  
MCM3130SS Optical Disk Drives SCSI Logical Interface Specifications."  
(1) MESSAGE IN phase  
In a MESSAGE IN phase, the TARG requests to transfer message information  
from the TARG to the INIT. The TARG keeps the C/D, I/O, and MSG signals  
true during REQ/ACK handshaking in this phase.  
(2) MESSAGE OUT phase  
In a MESSAGE OUT phase, the TARG requests to transfer message information  
from the INIT to the TARG. The TARG keeps the C/D and MSG signals true and  
I/O signal false during REQ/ACK handshaking in this phase.  
The TARG executes this phase in response to the ATTENTION condition  
(described in Subsection 7.7.1) created by the INIT, and must remain in the  
MESSAGE OUT phase.  
Note:  
When the TARG returns a MESSAGE REJECT message to reject an  
invalid or incorrect message or when the TARG enters a BUS FREE  
phase as directed by a received message or returns a message  
(SYNCHRONOUS DATA TRANSFER REQUEST message, for  
example) in a prompt response to a received message, it can  
terminate the MESSAGE OUT phase regardless of whether the ATN  
signal is true or false.  
When the TARG detects a parity error in the received message information, the  
TARG can request the INIT to retry message transmission by sending a REQ  
signal after sensing the ATN signal false without having to change the bus phase  
(that is, while remaining in the MESSAGE OUT phase). Upon receiving this  
REQ signal, the INIT must retransmit all of the same message bytes that were  
transmitted in the MESSAGE OUT phase in the same sequence. If the message  
consists of more than one byte, the INIT must make the ATN signal true before  
returning the ACK signal for the first byte and must keep it true until the last byte  
is transferred.  
7-36  
C156-E228-02EN  
7.6 Bus Phases  
Unless a parity error is detected, the TARG can execute the received message  
immediately after its reception. If a parity error is detected, the TARG ignores  
that part of the message which has been received after the detection of the parity  
error. Suppose that when the INIT retransmits a series of messages in the  
MESSAGE OUT phase, the TARG has already executed some messages. In this  
event, the TARG must handle the received messages so that no logical  
contradiction will occur (for example, the TARG must ignore received messages  
that have already been executed).  
If the TARG receives all message information normally without detecting a parity  
error, the TARG must enter an INFORMATION TRANSFER phase other than a  
MESSAGE OUT phase and must send at least one byte of information in order to  
advise the INIT that message transfer retry is unnecessary. However, for some  
types of message (ABORT and BUS DEVICE RESET, for example), the TARG  
can report the normal completion of message reception by entering a BUS FREE  
phase.  
7.6.10 Signal requirements concerning transition between bus phases  
When the SCSI bus is at a midpoint between two INFORMATION TRANSFER  
phases (during the period of bus phase transition), interface signals must satisfy  
the requirements below.  
1) The status of the BSY, SEL, REQ, and ACK signals must not change.  
2) The status of the ATN and RST signals can change within the range  
determined by the ATTENTION condition (see Subsection 7.7.1) or RESET  
condition (see Subsection 7.7.2).  
3) The status of the C/D, I/O and MSG signals and the DATA BUS (DBn) can  
change. However, the direction of data transfer over the DATA BUS must  
satisfy the following rule. (See Figure 7.18.)  
When changing the direction of transfer from Out (from INIT to TARG) to In  
(from TARG to INIT), the TARG must begin to drive the data bus (DBn) at  
least Data Release Delay + Bus Settle Delay after making the I/O signal true.  
The INIT must stop driving the data bus within Data Release Delay after the  
I/O signal becomes true.  
When changing the direction of transfer from In (from TARG to INIT) to Out  
(from INIT to TARG), the TARG must stop driving the data bus (DBn)  
within Deskew Delay after making the I/O signal false.

7.6.11 Time monitoring feature  
The ODD has a time monitoring feature for the SCSI bus to prevent hang-up of  
the SCSI bus in the case that the TARG cannot receive a response from the INIT  
in the RESELECTION or INFORMATION TRANSFER phase.  
(1) Time monitoring in RESELECTION phase  
The ODD monitors the time of the response (BSY signal) from the INIT in the  
RESELECTION phase. When the INIT does not send the BSY signal within a  
specified period, the ODD executes the timeout process (see Subsection 7.6.4) to  
free the SCSI bus and then executes the retry process (see Section 6.1) of the  
RESELECTION phase in "MCD3130SS, MCE3130SS, MCK3130SS,  
MCM3064SS, MCM3130SS Optical Disk Drives SCSI Logical Interface  
Specifications."  
(2) Time monitoring in INFORMATION TRANSFER phase  
The ODD monitors the timing of the ACK signal against the REQ signal in the  
INFORMATION TRANSFER phase. Time monitoring is executed during the  
following period:  
COMMAND, STATUS, or MESSAGE phase:  
Time taken from the moment of sending the REQ signal of the first byte to the  
moment of completing the reception of the ACK signal of the last byte of the  
phase.

DATA phase:  
Time taken for completing eight REQ/ACK handshakes (average).  
Note:  
When the ACK signal is returned repeatedly within an interval of  
500 ms or more, timeout may occur even if eight REQ/ACK  
handshakes on average had been terminated with the time listed in  
Table 7.10.  
When timeout is detected, the ODD clears the command being executed and  
forces the SCSI bus into the BUS FREE phase (see Section 6.1) in "MCD3130SS,  
MCE3130SS, MCK3130SS, MCM3064SS, MCM3130SS Optical Disk Drives

SCSI BUS  
7.7 Bus Conditions  
Two types of asynchronous operations, an ATTENTION condition and a RESET  
condition, are provided to control and modify the bus phase transition sequence  
(bus condition).  
7.7.1 ATTENTION condition  
The ATTENTION condition allows an INIT to report that the INIT has messages  
to be sent to the TARG. The TARG receives a message from the INIT by  
executing the MESSAGE OUT phase. Figure 7.19 shows the ATTENTION  
condition.  
(1) Generation and release of ATTENTION condition (INIT)  
By making the ATN signal true, the INIT can generate the ATTENTION  
condition any time except during the ARBITRATION or BUS FREE phase.  
Consider the generation of a new ATTENTION condition in the INFORMATION  
TRANSFER phase. To inform the TARG of the ATTENTION condition before  
the transition to the next new bus phase, the INIT must set the ATN signal true  
before Deskew Delay × 2 or more from the timing of setting the ACK signal false  
for the last byte being transferred in the current bus phase. If the ATN sending  
timing is delayed, the TARG may not be informed of the ATTENTION condition  
until the next bus phase. The INIT may not operate as it should.  
When transferring message information in several bytes in the MESSAGE OUT  
phase, the INIT must keep the ATN signal true. The INIT can make the ATN  
signal false any time except while the ACK signal is true in the MESSAGE OUT  
phase. When transferring the last byte in the MESSAGE OUT phase, the INIT  
generally makes the ATN signal false during the period between the time the REQ  
signal becomes true and the time it returns the ACK signal. In this case, the INIT  
must set the ATN signal false before Deskew Delay × 2 or more from the time of  
setting the ACK signal true.  
The INIT must make the ATN signal false before making the ACK signal true to  
transfer the last message byte if so specified for the particular type of message to  
the TARG. (See "MCD3130SS, MCE3130SS, MCK3130SS, MCM3064SS,  
MCM3130SS Optical Disk Drives SCSI Logical Interface Specifications.")  
7-40  
C156-E228-02EN  
7.7 Bus Conditions  
(2) Response against ATTENTION condition (TARG)  
The TARG must enter the MESSAGE OUT phase and respond to the  
ATTENTION condition under the following situations. After terminating the  
MESSAGE OUT phase and sending back a MESSAGE REJECT message, the  
TARG must reenter the MESSAGE OUT phase if the ATN signal is true.  
When the ATN signal becomes true in the COMMAND phase, the TARG  
must initiate the MESSAGE OUT phase immediately after the command  
(command descriptor block [CDB]) has completed the transfer of all or some  
bytes.  
When the ATN signal becomes true in the DATA phase, the TARG must  
enter the MESSAGE OUT phase immediately after the DATA phase. The  
TARG can enter the MESSAGE OUT phase at any time. (For example, the  
data transfer need not be terminated at a logical data block boundary.) The  
INIT must continue REQ/ACK handshaking (DATA phase) until the bus  
phase changes.  
When the ATN signal becomes true in the STATUS phase, the TARG must  
enter the MESSAGE OUT phase after the status byte transfer is completed.  
When the ATN signal becomes true in the MESSAGE IN phase, the TARG  
must enter the MESSAGE OUT phase immediately after transferring the  
current message.  
When the ATN signal becomes true in the SELECTION phase, the selected  
TARG must enter the MESSAGE OUT phase immediately after the  
SELECTION phase.  
When the ATN signal becomes true in the RESELECTION phase, the TARG  
must enter the MESSAGE OUT phase after the IDENTIFY message  
transmission is completed.

ATTENTION condition  
The ATTENTION condition generated by the INIT in the  
SELECTION phase determines the message level to be used in the  
command execution sequence. (Details are explained in Subsection  
5.1.3. of “MCD3130SS, MCE3130SS, MCK3130SS, MCM3064SS,  
MCM3130SS OPTICAL DISK DRIVES SCSI LOGICAL  
INTERFACE SPECIFICATIONS.”) If the ATTENTION condition  
is not generated in the SELECTION phase, the TARG uses a  
COMMAND COMPLETE message only. The TARG does not  
respond to the ATTENTION condition even if it was generated in  
the subsequent bus phase. Therefore, the TARG does not enter the  
MESSAGE OUT phase.  
7.7.2 RESET condition  
The RESET condition allows all SCSI devices to immediately release the bus.  
RESET has higher priority than any other phases and bus conditions. Any SCSI  
device can generate the RESET condition at any time by keeping the RST signal  
true for 25 µs (Reset Hold Time) or more. The state of all bus signals except RST  
signals are undefined during the RESET condition.  
7-42  
C156-E228-02EN  
7.7 Bus Conditions  
All SCSI devices must deactivate all the bus signals except RST signals and  
release the bus within 800 ns (Bus Clear Delay) after the RST signal becomes true.  
After the RESET condition, the SCSI bus must enter the BUS FREE phase.  
Figure 7.20 shows the RESET condition.  
The following are the ODD operations when the RESET condition is detected.  
1) All commands including those being executed and those in a stack are  
cleared.  
2) The reserve status of the disk drive is reset.  
3) The operation mode set by a message or the command is initialized as when  
power is turned on.  
The current value in the parameter set by a MODE SELECT command is  
initialized to the saved value last established. If the value is not saved, it is  
initialized to the default value.  
Parameters defined for synchronous transfer between the ODD and SCSI  
device is cleared. The mode defined for data transfer among all SCSI devices  
is initialized to asynchronous mode.  
4) The UNIT ATTENTION condition is generated for all SCSI devices.  
5) The sense data is no longer retained and is cleared.  
6) All data read into the data buffer in advance by the read-ahead cache feature  
is invalidated.  
1. The ODD does not generate a RESET condition.  
2. The ODD provides only the "hard" RESET condition specified  
by the SCSI standard.  
3. Reset Hold Time is specified to guarantee that any SCSI device  
can recognize the occurrence the RESET condition. On the  
ODD, even if the pulse width is less than 25 µs, the RESET  
condition is effective.

7.8 Bus Sequence  
7.8 Bus Sequence  
SCSI bus phases are switched in the specified sequence according to the command  
operation executed in the TARG. After a TARG has asserted the BSY signal in  
the SELECTION or RESELECTION phase, the bus phase sequence other than  
ATTENTION condition and RESET condition is controlled by the TARG.  
All bus phases can be aborted through the RESET condition so that the BUS  
FREE phase is always created. Also, any other phase can be followed by the BUS  
FREE phase.  
Note:  
The TARG can enter the BUS FREE phase in order to report an error  
condition. For details, see Subsection 7.6.1.  
Figure 7.21 shows the allowable bus phase sequence applied to systems without  
the ARBITRATION phase and systems with the ARBITRATION phase. Figure  
7.22 provides an example of bus phase sequence during single command  
execution.  
the ARBITRATION phase, systems with the ARBITRATION  
phase, systems with the MESSAGE OUT phase, and systems  
without the MESSAGE OUT phase. The generation of the  
ATTENTION condition determines whether or not systems use the  
MESSAGE OUT phase. If the ATTENTION condition is not  
generated, the TARG assumes that the INIT is supporting only a  
COMMAND COMPLETE message and the TARG operates so that  
it will not use other messages in the subsequent command execution  
sequence. The ATN signal status is ignored; therefore, the TARG  
does not enter the MESSAGE OUT phase.

Glossary  
Axial acceleration  
Acceleration in the recording layer along the line perpendicular to the disk  
reference surface at a specified rotation speed. Axial acceleration is detected by  
optical means.  
Axial displacement  
A displacement at a point in the recording layer in a direction perpendicular to the  
disk reference surface from its standard position. The standard position in the  
recording layer is detected optically using the thickness and refraction rate of the  
protective layer, based on the disk reference surface.  
Case  
A cover of an optical disk. The case protects the disk from being damaged during  
handling and also allows the operator to replace disks easily. The case also  
provides for a label, write protection tab, automatic handling support, and media  
identification hole.  
CDB (Command Descriptor Block)  
A series of data describing input-output commands. The CDB is sent from the  
initiator to the target.  
Clamp area  
Command  
A disk ring area on which the clamp mechanism applies a clamp force.  
An input-output instruction to the target. Described as CDB.  
Control track  
A track used to store media parameters and format information required to record  
and read data to or from an optical disk.  
Defect management  
In real time processing mode, defect management refers to an automatic program  
used to change the power, focus, tracking of reading and recording if an error is  
detected and used to decide whether numerous error sectors should be discarded.  
In batch mode, defect management refers to a guideline used to re-record or save  
data in a disk.  
C156-E228-02EN  
GL-1  
Glossary  
Disk reference surface  
An ideal flat ring surface of an ideal spindle that comes into contact with the  
clamp area on a disk. The disk reference surface is perpendicular to the rotation  
axis.  
Error correction code  
An error correction code designed to correct specific errors in data.  
Error detection and correction  
A series of methods used to add a redundant code to data in the existing format  
and then record data. In read mode, the decoder removes a redundant code and  
detects and corrects errors using the redundant information.  
Interleaving section  
A process that physically arranges data units so that data resists burst errors.  
LUN (Logical Unit Number)  
A device address used to identify a logical unit.  
Recording layer  
A disk layer in which data should be recorded during manufacturing or recording.  
Recording power  
An incidence power specified on the incidence surface and used to form marks.  
Sense code  
Sense data  
Sense key  
Spindle  
A single-byte code set in sense data. This information is used to identify the type  
of error detected.  
Information generated by the target to report detailed error information if a  
command end status contains any error information.  
A 4-bit code set in sense data. This information is used to classify the type of  
error detected.  
A disk drive component that comes into contact with a disk and a hub.  
GL-2  
C156-E228-02EN  
Glossary  
Status  
Single-byte information reported from the target to the initiator at the end of  
execution of each command. The status indicates the end status of a command.
