Applicable standards and reference documentation
The drive has been developed as a system peripheral to the highest standards of design and construction. The
drive depends upon its host equipment to provide adequate power and environment in order to achieve opti-
mum performance and compliance with applicable industry and governmental regulations. Special attention
must be given in the areas of safety, power distribution, shielding, audible noise control, and temperature regu-
lation. In particular, the drive must be securely mounted in order to guarantee the specified performance char-
2.1
Standards
The Savvio family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this manual and the
Seagate Fibre Channel Interface Manual, part number 100293070.
The Savvio disc drive is a UL recognized component per UL1950, CSA certified to CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 950-
95, and VDE or TUV certified to EN60950.
2.1.1
Electromagnetic compatibility
The drive, as delivered, is designed for system integration and installation into a suitable enclosure prior to
use. As such the drive is supplied as a subassembly and is not subject to Subpart B of Part 15 of the FCC
Rules and Regulations nor the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communica-
tions.
The design characteristics of the drive serve to minimize radiation when installed in an enclosure that provides
reasonable shielding. As such, the drive is capable of meeting the Class B limits of the FCC Rules and Regula-
tions of the Canadian Department of Communications when properly packaged. However, it is the user’s
responsibility to assure that the drive meets the appropriate EMI requirements in their system. Shielded I/O
cables may be required if the enclosure does not provide adequate shielding. If the I/O cables are external to
the enclosure, shielded cables should be used, with the shields grounded to the enclosure and to the host con-
troller.
2.1.1.1
Electromagnetic susceptibility
As a component assembly, the drive is not required to meet any susceptibility performance requirements. It is
the responsibility of those integrating the drive within their systems to perform those tests required and design
their system to ensure that equipment operating in the same system as the drive or external to the system
does not adversely affect the performance of the drive. See Table 2, DC power requirements.

tem represents the most popular characteristics for test platforms. The system configurations include:
• Typical current use microprocessor
• 3.5-inch floppy disc drive
• Keyboard
• Monitor/display
• Printer
• External modem
• Mouse
Although the test system with this Seagate model complies with the directives/standards, we cannot guarantee
that all systems will comply. The computer manufacturer or system integrator shall confirm EMC compliance
and provide the appropriate marking for their product.
Electromagnetic compliance for the European Union
If this model has the CE Marking it complies with the European Union requirements of the Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive 89/336/EEC of 03 May 1989 as amended by Directive 92/31/EEC of 28 April 1992 and
Directive 93/68/EEC of 22 July 1993.
Australian C-Tick

and meets the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Framework requirements of Australia’s Spectrum Man-
agement Agency (SMA).
Korean MIC
If this model has the Korean Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) logo, it complies with paragraph
1 of Article 11 of the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Control Regulation and meets the Electromagnetic
Compatibility Framework requirements of the Radio Research Laboratory (RRL) Ministry of Information and
Communication Republic of Korea.
Taiwanese BSMI
If this model has the Chinese National Standard (CNS) 13438 marking, it complies with Chinese National Stan-
dard (CNS) 13438 and meets the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Framework requirements of the Tai-
wanese Bureau of Standards, Metrology, and Inspection (BSMI).
2.2
European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
The European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive restricts the presence of chemical
substances, including Lead (Pb), in electronic products effective July 2006.
A number of parts and materials in Seagate products are procured from external suppliers. We rely on the rep-
resentations of our suppliers regarding the presence of RoHS substances in these parts and materials. Our
supplier contracts require compliance with our chemical substance restrictions, and our suppliers document
their compliance with our requirements by providing material content declarations for all parts and materials for
the disc drives documented in this publication. Current supplier declarations include disclosure of the inclusion
of any RoHS-regulated substance in such parts or materials.

Savvio 15K.1 FC Product Manual, Rev. B
Seagate also has internal systems in place to ensure ongoing compliance with the RoHS Directive and all laws
and regulations which restrict chemical content in electronic products. These systems include standard operat-
ing procedures that ensure that restricted substances are not utilized in our manufacturing operations, labora-
tory analytical validation testing, and an internal auditing process to ensure that all standard operating
procedures are complied with.

General description
Savvio drives combine Tunneling Magnetoresistive (TMR) heads and a Fibre Channel interface to provide high
performance, high capacity data storage for a variety of systems including engineering workstations, network
servers, mainframes, and supercomputers. Savvio drives also support 4-Gbit Fibre Channel which can transfer
data at up to 400 Mbytes per second and 800 Mbytes per second in dual-loop configurations.
Savvio drives support the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) and SCSI Fibre Channel Protocol as
described in the ANSI specifications, this document, the SCSI Commands Reference Manual (part number
100293068), and the Fibre Channel Interface Manual (part number 100293070) which describes the general
interface characteristics of this drive. Savvio drives are classified as intelligent peripherals and provide level 2
conformance (highest level) with the ANSI SCSI-1 standard.
Note. Never disassemble the HDA and do not attempt to service items in the sealed enclosure (heads,
media, actuator, etc.) as this requires special facilities. The drive does not contain user-replaceable
parts. Opening the HDA for any reason voids your warranty.
Savvio drives use a dedicated landing zone at the innermost radius of the media to eliminate the possibility of
destroying or degrading data by landing in the data zone. The heads automatically go to the landing zone when
power is removed from the drive.
An automatic shipping lock prevents potential damage to the heads and discs that results from movement dur-
ing shipping and handling. The shipping lock disengages and the head load process begins when power is
applied to the drive.
The drives also use a high-performance actuator assembly with a low-inertia, balanced, patented, straight arm
design that provides excellent performance with minimal power dissipation.

Formatted capacities
Standard OEM models are formatted to 512 bytes per block. The block size is selectable at format time and
must be a multiple of 4 bytes. Users having the necessary equipment may modify the data block size before
issuing a format command and obtain different formatted capacities than those listed.
To provide a stable target capacity environment and at the same time provide users with flexibility if they
choose, Seagate recommends product planning in one of two modes:
1. Seagate designs specify capacity points at certain sector sizes that Seagate guarantees current and future
products will meet. We recommend customers use this capacity in their project planning, as it ensures a
stable operating point with backward and forward compatibility from generation to generation. The current
guaranteed operating points for this product are:

2. Seagate drives also may be used at the maximum available capacity at a given sector size, but the excess
capacity above the guaranteed level will vary between other drive families and from generation to genera-
tion, depending on how each sector size actually formats out for zone frequencies and splits over servo
bursts. This added capacity potential may range from 0.1 to 1.3 percent above the guaranteed capacities
listed above. Using the drives in this manner gives the absolute maximum capacity potential, but the user
must determine if the extra capacity potential is useful, or whether their assurance of backward and for-
ward compatibility takes precedence.

3.5.1
Programmable drive capacity
Using the Mode Select command, the drive can change its capacity to something less than maximum. See the
Mode Select (6) parameter list table in the Fibre Channel Interface Manual, part number 100293070. Refer to
the Parameter list block descriptor number of blocks field. A value of zero in the number of blocks field indi-
cates that the drive shall not change the capacity it is currently formatted to have. A number in the number of
blocks field that is less than the maximum number of LBAs changes the total drive capacity to the value in the
block descriptor number of blocks field. A value greater than the maximum number of LBAs is rounded down to
the maximum capacity.

Factory-installed accessories
OEM standard drives are shipped with the Savvio 15K.1 FC Installation Guide (part number 100384764) and
the Safety and Regulatory Agency Specifications, part number 75789512 (unless otherwise specified).
3.7
Options
You may order the following items which are incorporated at the manufacturing facility during production or
packaged before shipping. Some of the options available are (not an exhaustive list of possible options):
• Other capacities can be ordered depending on sparing scheme and sector size requested.
• Single-unit shipping pack. The drive is normally shipped in bulk packaging to provide maximum protection
against transit damage. Units shipped individually require additional protection as provided by the single unit
shipping pack. Users planning single unit distribution should specify this option.
• The Savvio 15K.1 FC Installation Guide, part number 100384764, is usually included with each standard
OEM drive shipped, but extra copies may be ordered.
• The Safety and Regulatory Agency Specifications, part number 75789512, is usually included with each
standard OEM drive shipped, but extra copies may be ordered.

4.3
Start/stop time
The drive accepts the commands listed in the SAS Interface Manual less than 3 seconds after DC power has
been applied.
If the drive receives a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive through either port and has not received a START
STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 0, the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 20
seconds (excluding the error recovery procedure).
If the drive receives a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 0 before receiving a NOTIFY
(ENABLE SPINUP) primitive, the drive waits for a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 1.
After receiving a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit equal to 1, the drive waits for a NOTIFY
(ENABLE SPINUP) primitive. After receiving a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive through either port, the
drive becomes ready for normal operations within 20 seconds (excluding the error recovery procedure).
If the drive receives a START STOP UNIT command with the START bit and IMMED bit equal to 1 and does
not receive a NOTIFY (ENABLE SPINUP) primitive within 5 seconds, the drive fails the START STOP UNIT
command.
12
Savvio 15K.1 FC Product Manual, Rev. B
The START STOP UNIT command may be used to command the drive to stop the spindle. Stop time is 30 sec-
onds (maximum) from removal of DC power. There is no power control switch on the drive.
4.4
Prefetch/multi-segmented cache control
The drive provides a prefetch (read look-ahead) and multi-segmented cache control algorithms that in many
cases can enhance system performance. Cache refers to the drive buffer storage space when it is used in
cache operations. To select this feature, the host sends the Mode Select command with the proper values in
the applicable bytes in page 08h. Prefetch and cache operations are independent features from the standpoint
that each is enabled and disabled independently using the Mode Select command; however, in actual opera-
tion, the prefetch feature overlaps cache operation somewhat as described in sections 4.5.1 and 4.5.2.
4.5
Cache operation
Note. Refer to the Fibre Channel Interface Manual for more detail concerning the cache bits.
Of the 16 Mbytes physical buffer space in the drive, approximately 13,000 Kbytes can be used as a cache. The
buffer can be divided into logical segments from which data is read and to which data is written.
The drive keeps track of the logical block addresses of the data stored in each segment of the buffer. If the
cache is enabled (see RCD bit in the Fibre Channel Interface Manual), data requested by the host with a read
command is retrieved from the buffer, if possible, before any disc access is initiated. If cache operation is not
enabled, the buffer (still segmented with the required number of segments) is still used, but only as circular
buffer segments during disc medium read operations (disregarding Prefetch operation for the moment). That
is, the drive does not check in the buffer segments for the requested read data, but goes directly to the medium
to retrieve it. The retrieved data merely passes through some buffer segment on the way to the host. On a
cache miss, all data transfers to the host are in accordance with buffer-full ratio rules. On a cache hit, the drive
ignores the buffer-full ratio rules. See the explanation provided with the information about Mode Page 02h (dis-
connect/reconnect control) in the Fibre Channel Interface Manual.
The following is a simplified description of the prefetch/cache operation:
Case A—read command is received and the first logical block is already in the cache:
1. Drive transfers the requested logical blocks to the initiator.
Case B—A Read command requests data, and at least one requested logical block is not in any segment of
the cache:
1. The drive fetches the requested logical blocks from the disc and transfers them into a segment, and then
from there to the host in accordance with the Mode Select Disconnect/Reconnect parameters, page 02h.
Each cache segment is actually a self-contained circular buffer whose length is an integer number of logical
blocks. The drive dynamically creates and removes segments based on the workload. The wrap-around capa-
bility of the individual segments greatly enhances the cache’s overall performance.
Note. The size of each segment is not reported by Mode Sense command page 08h, bytes 14 and 15.
The value 0XFFFF is always reported regardless of the actual size of the segment. Sending a size
specification using the Mode Select command (bytes 14 and 15) does not set up a new segment
size. If the STRICT bit in Mode page 00h (byte 2, bit 1) is set to one, the drive responds as it does
for any attempt to change an unchangeable parameter.
4.5.1
Caching write data
Write caching is a write operation by the drive that makes use of a drive buffer storage area where the data to
be written to the medium is stored while the drive performs the Write command.
Savvio 15K.1 FC Product Manual, Rev. B
13
If read caching is enabled (RCD=0), then data written to the medium is retained in the cache to be made avail-
able for future read cache hits. The same buffer space and segmentation is used as set up for read functions.
The buffer segmentation scheme is set up or changed independently, having nothing to do with the state of
RCD. When a write command is issued, if RCD=0, the cache is first checked to see if any logical blocks that
are to be written are already stored in the cache from a previous read or write command. If there are, the
respective cache segments are cleared. The new data is cached for subsequent Read commands.
If the number of write data logical blocks exceed the size of the segment being written into, when the end of the
segment is reached, the data is written into the beginning of the same cache segment, overwriting the data that
was written there at the beginning of the operation; however, the drive does not overwrite data that has not yet
been written to the medium.
If write caching is enabled (WCE=1), then the drive may return Good status on a write command after the data
has been transferred into the cache, but before the data has been written to the medium. If an error occurs
while writing the data to the medium, and Good status has already been returned, a deferred error will be gen-
erated.
The Synchronize Cache command may be used to force the drive to write all cached write data to the medium.
Upon completion of a Synchronize Cache command, all data received from previous write commands will have
been written to the medium.
Table 19 shows the mode default settings for the drive.
4.5.2
Prefetch operation
If the Prefetch feature is enabled, data in contiguous logical blocks on the disc immediately beyond that which
was requested by a Read command are retrieved and stored in the buffer for immediate transfer from the
buffer to the host on subsequent Read commands that request those logical blocks (this is true even if cache
operation is disabled). Though the prefetch operation uses the buffer as a cache, finding the requested data in
the buffer is a prefetch hit, not a cache operation hit.
To enable Prefetch, use Mode Select page 08h, byte 12, bit 5 (Disable Read Ahead - DRA bit). DRA bit = 0
enables prefetch.
The drive does not use the Max Prefetch field (bytes 8 and 9) or the Prefetch Ceiling field (bytes 10 and 11).
When prefetch (read look-ahead) is enabled (enabled by DRA = 0), the drive enables prefetch of contiguous
blocks from the disc when it senses that a prefetch hit will likely occur. The drive disables prefetch when it
decides that a prefetch hit is not likely to occur.

5.1
Error rates
The error rates stated in this manual assume the following:
• The drive is operated in accordance with this manual using DC power as defined in paragraph 6.2, "DC
• Errors caused by host system failures are excluded from error rate computations.
• Assume random data.
• Default OEM error recovery settings are applied. This includes AWRE, ARRE, full read retries, full write
retries and full retry time.
5.1.1
Recoverable Errors
Recoverable errors are those detected and corrected by the drive, and do not require user intervention.
Recoverable Data errors will use correction, although ECC on-the-fly is not considered for purposes of recov-
ered error specifications.
Recovered Data error rate is determined using read bits transferred for recoverable errors occurring during a
read, and using write bits transferred for recoverable errors occurring during a write.
Savvio 15K.1 FC Product Manual, Rev. B
15
5.1.2
Unrecoverable Errors
An unrecoverable data error is defined as a failure of the drive to recover data from the media. These errors
occur due to head/media or write problems. Unrecoverable data errors are only detected during read opera-
tions, but not caused by the read. If an unrecoverable data error is detected, a MEDIUM ERROR (03h) in the
Sense Key will be reported. Multiple unrecoverable data errors resulting from the same cause are treated as 1
error.
5.1.3
Seek errors
A seek error is defined as a failure of the drive to position the heads to the addressed track. After detecting an
initial seek error, the drive automatically performs an error recovery process. If the error recovery process fails,
a seek positioning error (Error code = 15h or 02h) will be reported with a Hardware error (04h) in the Sense
8
Key. Recoverable seek errors are specified at Less than 10 errors in 10 seeks. Unrecoverable seek errors
(Sense Key = 04h) are classified as drive failures.
5.1.4
Interface errors
An interface error is defined as a failure of the receiver on a port to recover the data as transmitted by the
device port connected to the receiver. The error may be detected as a running disparity error, illegal code, loss
of word sync, or CRC error. The total error rate for a loop of devices is the sum of the individual device error
rates.
5.2
Reliability and service
You can enhance the reliability of Savvio disc drives by ensuring that the drive receives adequate cooling. Sec-
tion 6.0 provides temperature measurements and other information that may be used to enhance the service
5.2.1
Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
The production disc drive achieves an AFR of 0.55% (MTBF of 1,600,000 hours) when operated in an environ-
ment that ensures the case temperatures do not exceed the values specified in Section 6.4.1. Operation at
case temperatures outside the specifications in Section 6.4, "Environmental limits", may increase the product
AFR (decrease the MTBF). The AFR is a population statistic not relevant to individual units.
The AFR specification is based on the following assumptions for Business Critical Storage System environ-
ments:
• 8,760 power-on hours per year
• 250 average on/off cycles per year
• Operating at nominal voltages
• System will provide adequate cooling to ensure the case temperatures specified in Section 6.4 are not
decrease the MTBF.
5.2.2
Preventive maintenance
No routine scheduled preventive maintenance is required.
16
Savvio 15K.1 FC Product Manual, Rev. B
5.2.3
Hot plugging the drive
Inserting and removing the drive on the FC-AL will interrupt loop operation. The interruption occurs when the
receiver of the next device in the loop must synchronize to a different input signal. FC error detection mecha-
nisms, character sync, running disparity, word sync, and CRC are able to detect any error. Recovery is initiated
based on the type of error.
The disc drive defaults to the FC-AL Monitoring state, Pass-through state, when it is powered-on by switching
the power or hot plugged. The control line to an optional port bypass circuit (external to the drive), defaults to
the Enable Bypass state. If the bypass circuit is present, the next device in the loop will continue to receive the
output of the previous device to the newly inserted device. If the bypass circuit is not present, loop operation is
temporarily disrupted until the next device starts receiving the output from the newly inserted device and
regains synchronization to the new input.
The Pass-through state is disabled while the drive performs self test of the FC interface. The control line for an
external port bypass circuit remains in the Enable Bypass state while self test is running. If the bypass circuit is
present, loop operation may continue. If the bypass circuit is not present, loop operation will be halted while the
self test of the FC interface runs.
When the self test completes successfully, the control line to the bypass circuit is disabled and the drive enters
the FC-AL Initializing state. The receiver on the next device in the loop must synchronize to output of the newly
inserted drive.
If the self-test fails, the control line to the bypass circuit remains in the Enable Bypass state.
Note. It is the responsibility of the systems integrator to assure that no temperature, energy, voltage haz-
ard, or ESD potential hazard is presented during the hot connect/disconnect operation. Discharge
the static electricity from the drive carrier prior to inserting it into the system.
Caution. The drive motor must come to a complete stop prior to changing the plane of operation. This time is
required to insure data integrity.
5.2.4
S.M.A.R.T.
S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. This technology is intended
to recognize conditions that indicate imminent drive failure and is designed to provide sufficient warning of a
failure to allow you to back up the data before an actual failure occurs.
Note. The drive’s firmware monitors specific attributes for degradation over time but can’t predict instanta-
neous drive failures.
Each monitored attribute has been selected to monitor a specific set of failure conditions in the operating per-
formance of the drive and the thresholds are optimized to minimize “false” and “failed” predictions.
Controlling S.M.A.R.T.
The operating mode of S.M.A.R.T. is controlled by the DEXCPT and PERF bits on the Informational Exceptions
Control mode page (1Ch). Use the DEXCPT bit to enable or disable the S.M.A.R.T. feature. Setting the DEX-
CPT bit disables all S.M.A.R.T. functions. When enabled, S.M.A.R.T. collects on-line data as the drive performs
normal read and write operations. When the PERF bit is set, the drive is considered to be in “On-line Mode
Only” and will not perform off-line functions.
You can measure off-line attributes and force the drive to save the data by using the Rezero Unit command.
Forcing S.M.A.R.T. resets the timer so that the next scheduled interrupt is in two hours.
You can interrogate the drive through the host to determine the time remaining before the next scheduled mea-
surement and data logging process occurs. To accomplish this, issue a Log Sense command to log page 0x3E.
This allows you to control when S.M.A.R.T. interruptions occur. Forcing S.M.A.R.T. with the RTZ command
resets the timer.
Savvio 15K.1 FC Product Manual, Rev. B
17
Performance impact
S.M.A.R.T. attribute data is saved to the disc so that the events that caused a predictive failure can be recre-
ated. The drive measures and saves parameters once every two hours subject to an idle period on the FC-AL
bus. The process of measuring off-line attribute data and saving data to the disc is uninterruptable. The maxi-
mum on-line only processing delay is summarized below:
Maximum processing delay
On-line only delay
Fully-enabled delay
DEXCPT = 0, PERF = 1
DEXCPT = 0, PERF = 0
S.M.A.R.T. delay times
50 milliseconds
300 milliseconds
Reporting control
Reporting is controlled by the MRIE bits in the Informational Exceptions Control mode page (1Ch). Subject to
the reporting method, the firmware will issue to the host an 01-5Dxx sense code. The error code is preserved
through bus resets and power cycles.
Determining rate
S.M.A.R.T. monitors the rate at which errors occur and signals a predictive failure if the rate of degraded errors
increases to an unacceptable level. To determine rate, error events are logged and compared to the number of
total operations for a given attribute. The interval defines the number of operations over which to measure the
rate. The counter that keeps track of the current number of operations is referred to as the Interval Counter.
S.M.A.R.T. measures error rates. All errors for each monitored attribute are recorded. A counter keeps track of
the number of errors for the current interval. This counter is referred to as the Failure Counter.
Error rate is the number of errors per operation. The algorithm that S.M.A.R.T. uses to record rates of error is to
set thresholds for the number of errors and their interval. If the number of errors exceeds the threshold before
the interval expires, the error rate is considered to be unacceptable. If the number of errors does not exceed
the threshold before the interval expires, the error rate is considered to be acceptable. In either case, the inter-
val and failure counters are reset and the process starts over.
Predictive failures
S.M.A.R.T. signals predictive failures when the drive is performing unacceptably for a period of time. The firm-
ware keeps a running count of the number of times the error rate for each attribute is unacceptable. To accom-
plish this, a counter is incremented each time the error rate is unacceptable and decremented (not to exceed
zero) whenever the error rate is acceptable. If the counter continually increments such that it reaches the pre-
dictive threshold, a predictive failure is signaled. This counter is referred to as the Failure History Counter.
There is a separate Failure History Counter for each attribute.
5.2.5
Thermal monitor
Savvio drives implement a temperature warning system which:
1. Signals the host if the temperature exceeds a value which would threaten the drive.
2. Signals the host if the temperature exceeds a user-specified value.
3. Saves a S.M.A.R.T. data frame on the drive which exceeds the threatening temperature value.
A temperature sensor monitors the drive temperature and issues a warning over the interface when the tem-
perature exceeds a set threshold. The temperature is measured at power-up and then at ten-minute intervals
after power-up.
18
Savvio 15K.1 FC Product Manual, Rev. B
The thermal monitor system generates a warning code of 01-0B01 when the temperature exceeds the speci-
fied limit in compliance with the SCSI standard. The drive temperature is reported in the FRU code field of
mode sense data. You can use this information to determine if the warning is due to the temperature exceeding
the drive threatening temperature or the user-specified temperature.
This feature is controlled by the Enable Warning (EWasc) bit, and the reporting mechanism is controlled by the
Method of Reporting Informational Exceptions field (MRIE) on the Informational Exceptions Control (IEC)
mode page (1Ch).
The current algorithm implements two temperature trip points. The first trip point is set at 68°C which is the
maximum temperature limit according to the drive specification. The second trip point is user-selectable using
the Log Select command. The reference temperature parameter in the temperature log page (see Table 1) can
be used to set this trip point. The default value for this drive is 68°C, however, you can set it to any value in the
range of 0 to 65°C. If you specify a temperature greater than 68°C in this field, the temperature is rounded
down to 65°C. A sense code is sent to the host to indicate the rounding of the parameter field.

Drive Self Test (DST)
Drive Self Test (DST) is a technology designed to recognize drive fault conditions that qualify the drive as a
failed unit. DST validates the functionality of the drive at a system level.
There are two test coverage options implemented in DST:
1. Extended test
2. Short text
The most thorough option is the extended test that performs various tests on the drive and scans every logical
block address (LBA) of the drive. The short test is time-restricted and limited in length—it does not scan the
entire media surface, but does some fundamental tests and scans portions of the media.
If DST encounters an error during either of these tests, it reports a fault condition. If the drive fails the test,
remove it from service and return it to Seagate for service.
5.2.6.1
DST failure definition
The drive will present a “diagnostic failed” condition through the self-tests results value of the diagnostic log
page if a functional failure is encountered during DST. The channel and servo parameters are not modified to
test the drive more stringently, and the number of retries are not reduced. All retries and recovery processes
are enabled during the test. If data is recoverable, no failure condition will be reported regardless of the number
of retries required to recover the data.
The following conditions are considered DST failure conditions:
• Seek error after retries are exhausted
• Track-follow error after retries are exhausted
• Read error after retries are exhausted
• Write error after retries are exhausted
Recovered errors will not be reported as diagnostic failures.
Savvio 15K.1 FC Product Manual, Rev. B
19
5.2.6.2
Implementation
This section provides all of the information necessary to implement the DST function on this drive.
5.2.6.2.1
State of the drive prior to testing
The drive must be in a ready state before issuing the Send Diagnostic command. There are multiple reasons
why a drive may not be ready, some of which are valid conditions, and not errors. For example, a drive may be
in process of doing a format, or another DST. It is the responsibility of the host application to determine the “not
ready” cause.
While not technically part of DST, a Not Ready condition also qualifies the drive to be returned to Seagate as a
failed drive.
A Drive Not Ready condition is reported by the drive under the following conditions:
• Motor will not spin
• Motor will not lock to speed
• Servo will not lock on track
• Drive cannot read configuration tables from the disc
In these conditions, the drive responds to a Test Unit Ready command with an 02/04/00 or 02/04/03 code.
5.2.6.2.2
Invoking DST
To invoke DST, submit the Send Diagnostic command with the appropriate Function Code (001b for the short
test or 010b for the extended test) in bytes 1, bits 5, 6, and 7.
5.2.6.2.3
Short and extended tests
DST has two testing options:
1. short
2. extended
These testing options are described in the following two subsections.
Each test consists of three segments: an electrical test segment, a servo test segment, and a read/verify scan
segment.
Short test (Function Code: 001b)
The purpose of the short test is to provide a time-limited test that tests as much of the drive as possible within
120 seconds. The short test does not scan the entire media surface, but does some fundamental tests and
scans portions of the media. A complete read/verify scan is not performed and only factual failures will report a
fault condition. This option provides a quick confidence test of the drive.
Extended test (Function Code: 010b)
The objective of the extended test option is to empirically test critical drive components. For example, the seek
tests and on-track operations test the positioning mechanism. The read operation tests the read head element
and the media surface. The write element is tested through read/write/read operations. The integrity of the
media is checked through a read/verify scan of the media. Motor functionality is tested by default as a part of
these tests.
The anticipated length of the Extended test is reported through the Control Mode page.

Log page entries
When the drive begins DST, it creates a new entry in the Self-test Results Log page. The new entry is created
by inserting a new self-test parameter block at the beginning of the self-test results log parameter section of the
log page. Existing data will be moved to make room for the new parameter block. The drive reports 20 param-
eter blocks in the log page. If there are more than 20 parameter blocks, the least recent parameter block will be
deleted. The new parameter block will be initialized as follows:
1. The Function Code field is set to the same value as sent in the DST command
2. The Self-Test Results Value field is set to Fh
3. The drive will store the log page to non-volatile memory
After a self-test is complete or has been aborted, the drive updates the Self-Test Results Value field in its Self-
Test Results Log page in non-volatile memory. The host may use Log Sense to read the results from up to the
last 20 self-tests performed by the drive. The self-test results value is a 4-bit field that reports the results of the
test. If the field is set to zero, the drive passed with no errors detected by the DST. If the field is not set to zero,
the test failed for the reason reported in the field.
The drive will report the failure condition and LBA (if applicable) in the Self-test Results Log parameter. The
Sense key, ASC, ASCQ, and FRU are used to report the failure condition.
5.2.6.2.5
Abort
There are several ways to abort a diagnostic. You can use a SCSI Bus Reset or a Bus Device Reset message
to abort the diagnostic.
You can abort a DST executing in background mode by using the abort code in the DST Function Code field.
This will cause a 01 (self-test aborted by the application client) code to appear in the self-test results values
log. All other abort mechanisms will be reported as a 02 (self-test routine was interrupted by a reset condition).

Maximum (peak) DC
[1] Measured with average reading DC ammeter. Instantaneous +12V current peaks will exceed these val-
ues. Power supply at nominal voltage. N (number of drives tested) = 6, 35 Degrees C ambient.
[2] For +12 V, a –10% tolerance is allowed during initial spindle start but must return to ±5% before reaching
15,000 RPM. The ±5% must be maintained after the drive signifies that its power-up sequence has been
completed and that the drive is able to accept selection by the host initiator.
[4] This condition occurs when the Motor Start option is enabled and the drive has not yet received a Start
Motor command.
[5] See paragraph 6.2.1, "Conducted noise immunity." Specified voltage tolerance includes ripple, noise, and
transient response.
[6] Operating condition is defined as random 8 block reads
[7] During idle, the drive heads are relocated every 60 seconds to a random location within the band from
three-quarters to maximum track.
General DC power requirement notes.
1. Minimum current loading for each supply voltage is not less than 1.7% of the maximum operating current
shown.
2. The +5V and +12V supplies should employ separate ground returns.
3. Where power is provided to multiple drives from a common supply, careful consideration for individual
drive power requirements should be noted. Where multiple units are powered on simultaneously, the peak
starting current must be available to each device.
4. Parameters, other than spindle start, are measured after a 10-minute warm up.
5. No terminator power.

Environmental limits
Temperature and humidity values experienced by the drive must be such that condensation does not occur on
any drive part. Altitude and atmospheric pressure specifications are referenced to a standard day at 58.7°F
(14.8°C). Maximum wet bulb temperature is 82°F (28°C).
6.4.1
Temperature
a. Operating
With cooling designed to maintain the case temperatures, the drive meets all specifications over a 41°F to
131°F (5°C to 55°C) drive ambient temperature range with a maximum temperature gradient of 36°F (20°C)
per hour. The enclosure for the drive should be designed such that these temperatures not exceeded. Air
flow may be needed to achieve these temperature values (see Section 8.2). Operation at case tempera-
tures above these values may adversely affect the drives ability to meet specifications.
The MTBF specification for the drive is based on operating in an environment that ensures that the case
temperatures are not exceeded. Occasional excursions to drive ambient temperatures of 131°F (55°C) or
41°F (5°C) may occur without impact to specified MTBF. Air flow may be needed to achieve these tempera-
tures. Continual or sustained operation at case temperatures above these values may degrade MTBF. The
maximum allowable continuous or sustained HDA case temperature for the rated MTBF is 122°F (50°C).
To confirm that the required cooling for the electronics and HDA is provided, place the drive in its final
mechanical configuration, perform random write/read operations. After the temperatures stabilize, measure
the case temperature of the drive.
The maximum allowable HDA case temperature is 60°C. Operation of the drive at the maximum case tem-
perature is intended for short time periods only. Continuous operation at the elevated temperatures will
reduce product reliability.

6.4.4
Shock and vibration
Shock and vibration limits specified in this document are measured directly on the drive chassis. If the drive is
installed in an enclosure to which the stated shock and/or vibration criteria is applied, resonances may occur
internally to the enclosure resulting in drive movement in excess of the stated limits. If this situation is apparent,
it may be necessary to modify the enclosure to minimize drive movement.
The limits of shock and vibration defined within this document are specified with the drive mounted by any of
6.4.4.1
Shock
a. Operating—normal
The drive, as installed for normal operation, shall operate error free while subjected to intermittent shock not
exceeding 15 Gs at a maximum duration of 11 msec (half sinewave). The drive, as installed for normal
operation, shall operate error free while subjected to intermittent shock not exceeding 20 Gs at a maximum
duration of 2 msec (half sinewave). Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.
b. Operating—abnormal
Equipment, as installed for normal operation, does not incur physical damage while subjected to intermit-
tent shock not exceeding 40 Gs at a maximum duration of 11 msec (half sinewave). Shock occurring at
Savvio 15K.1 FC Product Manual, Rev. B
31
abnormal levels may promote degraded operational performance during the abnormal shock period. Speci-
fied operational performance will continue when normal operating shock levels resume. Shock may be
applied in the X, Y, or Z axis. Shock is not to be repeated more than two times per second.
c. Non-operating
The limits of non-operating shock shall apply to all conditions of handling and transportation. This includes
both isolated drives and integrated drives.
The drive subjected to nonrepetitive shock not exceeding 75 Gs at a maximum duration of 11 msec (half
sinewave) shall not exhibit device damage or performance degradation. Shock may be applied in the X, Y,
or Z axis.
The drive subjected to nonrepetitive shock not exceeding 300 Gs at a maximum duration of 2 msec (half
sinewave) does not exhibit device damage or performance degradation. Shock may be applied in the X, Y,
or Z axis.
The drive subjected to nonrepetitve shock not exceeding 200 Gs at a maximum duration of 0.5 msec (half
sinewave) does not exhibit device damage or performance degradation. Shock may be applied in the X, Y,
or Z axis.

Air cleanliness
The drive is designed to operate in a typical office environment with minimal environmental control.
6.4.6
Corrosive environment
Seagate electronic drive components pass accelerated corrosion testing equivalent to 10 years exposure to
light industrial environments containing sulfurous gases, chlorine and nitric oxide, classes G and H per ASTM
B845. However, this accelerated testing cannot duplicate every potential application environment.
Users should use caution exposing any electronic components to uncontrolled chemical pollutants and corro-
sive chemicals as electronic drive component reliability can be affected by the installation environment. The sil-
ver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate products are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide,
chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic components
should never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or
exposed to an ambient relative humidity greater than 95%. Materials used in cabinet fabrication, such as vulca-
nized rubber, that can outgas corrosive compounds sshould be minimized or eliminated. The useful life of any
electronic equipment may be extended by replacing materials near circuitry with sulfide-free alternatives.

Acoustics
Sound power during idle mode shall be 3.1 bels typical when measured to ISO 7779 specification.
There will not be any discrete tones more than 10 dB above the masking noise on typical drives when mea-
sured according to Seagate specification 30553-001. There will not be any tones more than 24 dB above the

Defect and error management
Seagate continues to use innovative technologies to manage defects and errors. These technologies are
designed to increase data integrity, perform drive self-maintenance, and validate proper drive operation.
SCSI defect and error management involves drive internal defect/error management and SAS system error
considerations (errors in communications between the initiator and the drive). In addition, Seagate provides
the following technologies used to increase data integrity and drive reliability:
• Background Media Scan (see Section 7.4)
• Media Pre-Scan (see Section 7.5)
• Deferred Auto-Reallocation (see Section 7.6)
• Idle Read After Write (see Section 7.7)
Note.The read error rates and specified storage capacities are not dependent on host (initiator) defect man-
agement routines.
7.1
Drive internal defects/errors
During the initial drive format operation at the factory, media defects are identified, tagged as being unusable,
and their locations recorded on the drive primary defects list (referred to as the “P’ list and also as the ETF
defect list). At factory format time, these known defects are also reallocated, that is, reassigned to a new place
on the medium and the location listed in the defects reallocation table. The “P” list is not altered after factory
formatting. Locations of defects found and reallocated during error recovery procedures after drive shipment
are listed in the “G” list (defects growth list). The “P” and “G” lists may be referenced by the initiator using the
Read Defect Data command.
Details of the SCSI commands supported by the drive are described in the SCSI Commands Reference Man-
ual. Also, more information on the drive Error Recovery philosophy is presented in the Fibre Channel Interface
Manual.
7.2
Drive error recovery procedures
When an error occurs during drive operation, the drive, if programmed to do so, performs error recovery proce-
dures to attempt to recover the data. The error recovery procedures used depend on the options previously set
in the Error Recovery Parameters mode page. Error recovery and defect management may involve using sev-
eral SCSI commands described in the SCSI Commands Reference Manual. The drive implements selectable
error recovery time limits required in video applications.
The error recovery scheme supported by the drive provides a way to control the total error recovery time for the
entire command in addition to controlling the recovery level for a single LBA. The total amount of time spent in
error recovery for a command can be limited using the Recovery Time Limit bytes in the Error Recovery mode
page. The total amount of time spent in error recovery for a single LBA can be limited using the Read Retry
Count or Write Retry Count bytes in the Error Recovery mode page.
Savvio 15K.1 FC Product Manual, Rev. B
37
The drive firmware error recovery algorithms consists of 11 levels for read recoveries and five levels for write.
Each level may consist of multiple steps, where a step is defined as a recovery function involving a single re-
read or re-write attempt. The maximum level used by the drive in LBA recovery is determined by the read and
write retry counts.
Table 4 equates the read and write retry count with the maximum possible recovery time for read and write
recovery of individual LBAs. The times given do not include time taken to perform reallocations. Reallocations
are performed when the ARRE bit (for reads) or AWRE bit (for writes) is one, the RC bit is zero, and the recov-
ery time limit for the command has not yet been met. Time needed to perform reallocation is not counted
against the recovery time limit.
When the RC bit is one, reallocations are disabled even if the ARRE or AWRE bits are one. The drive will still
perform data recovery actions within the limits defined by the Read Retry Count, Write Retry Count, and
Recovery Time Limit parameters. However, the drive does not report any unrecovered errors.

[1] Setting these retry counts to a value below the default setting could result in degradation of the unrecov-
ered error rate. For example, suppose the read/write recovery page has the RC bit = 0, the read retry
count set to 4, and the recovery time limit set to 450. A 4-block read command can take up to 401 msec
recovery time for each block and a maximum of 450 msec recovery for all four blocks. If either of these
limits is reached and a block has not yet been recovered, the command will end with Check Condition sta-
tus and an unrecoverable read error will be reported.
7.3
FC-AL system errors
Information on the reporting of operational errors or faults across the interface is given in the Fibre Channel
Interface Manual. The FCP Response returns information to the host about numerous kinds of errors or faults.
The Receive Diagnostic Results reports the results of diagnostic operations performed by the drive.
Status returned by the drive to the initiator is described in the Fibre Channel Interface Manual. Status reporting
plays a role in systems error management and its use in that respect is described in sections where the various
commands are discussed.

Savvio 15K.1 FC Product Manual, Rev. B
7.4
Background Media Scan
Background Media Scan (BMS) is a self-initiated media scan. BMS is defined in the T10 document SPC-4
available from the T10 committee. BMS performs sequential reads across the entire pack of the media while
the drive is idle. In RAID arrays, BMS allows hot spare drives to be scanned for defects prior to being put into
service by the host system. On regular duty drives, if the host system makes use of the BMS Log Page, it can
avoid placing data in suspect locations on the media. Unreadable and recovered error sites will be logged or
reallocated per ARRE/AWRE settings.
With BMS, the host system can consume less power and system overhead by only checking BMS status and
results rather than tying up the bus and consuming power in the process of host-initiated media scanning activ-
ity.
Since the background scan functions are only done during idle periods, BMS causes a negligible impact to sys-
tem performance. The first BMS scan for a newly manufactured drive is performed as quickly as possible to
verify the media and protect data by setting the “Start time after idle” to 5ms, all subsequent scans begin after
500ms of idle time. Other features that normally use idle time to function will function normally because BMS
functions for bursts of 800ms and then suspends activity for 100ms to allow other background functions to
operate.
BMS interrupts immediately to service host commands from the interface bus while performing reads. BMS will
complete any BMS-initiated error recovery prior to returning to service host-initiated commands. Overhead
associated with a return to host-servicing activity from BMS only impacts the first command that interrupted
BMS, this results in a typical delay of about 1 ms.
7.5
Media Pre-Scan
Media Pre-Scan is a feature that allows the drive to repair media errors that would otherwise have been found
by the host system during critical data accesses early in the drive’s life. The default setting for Media Pre-Scan
is enabled on standard products. Media Pre-Scan checks each write command to determine if the destination
LBAs have been scanned by BMS. If the LBAs have been verified, the drive proceeds with the normal write
command. If the LBAs have not been verified by BMS, Pre-Scan will convert the write to a write verify to certify
that the data was properly written to the disc.
Note. During Pre-Scan write verify commands, write performance may decrease by 50% until Pre-Scan
completes. Write performance testing should be performed after Pre-Scan is complete. This may
be checked by reading the BMS status.
To expedite the scan of the full pack and subsequently exit from the Pre-Scan period, BMS will begin scanning
immediately when the drive goes to idle during the Pre-Scan period. In the event that the drive is in a high
transaction traffic environment and is unable to complete a BMS scan within 24 power on hours BMS will dis-
able Pre-Scan to restore full performance to the system.
7.6
Deferred Auto-Reallocation
Deferred Auto-Reallocation (DAR) simplifies reallocation algorithms at the system level by allowing the drive to
reallocate unreadable locations on a subsequent write command. Sites are marked for DAR during read oper-
ations performed by the drive. When a write command is received for an LBA marked for DAR, the auto-reallo-
cation process is invoked and attempts to rewrite the data to the original location. If a verification of this rewrite
fails, the sector is re-mapped to a spare location.
This is in contrast to the system having to use the Reassign Command to reassign a location that was unread-
able and then generate a write command to rewrite the data. DAR is most effective when AWRE and ARRE
are enabled—this is the default setting from the Seagate factory. With AWRE and ARRE disabled DAR is
unable to reallocate the failing location and will report an error sense code indicating that a write command is
being attempted to a previously failing location.
Savvio 15K.1 FC Product Manual, Rev. B

7.7
Idle Read After Write
Idle Read After Write (IRAW) utilizes idle time to verify the integrity of recently written data. During idle periods,
no active system requests, the drive reads recently written data from the media and compares it to valid write
command data resident in the drives data buffer. Any sectors that fail the comparison result in the invocation of
a rewrite and auto-reallocation process. The process attempts to rewrite the data to the original location. If a
verification of this rewrite fails, the sector is re-mapped to a spare location.

Installation
Savvio disc drive installation is a plug-and-play process. There are no jumpers, switches, or terminators on the
drive. Simply plug the drive into the host’s 40-pin Fibre Channel backpanel connector (FC-SCA)—no cables
Use the FC-AL interface to select drive ID and all option configurations for devices on the loop.
If multiple devices are on the same FC-AL and physical addresses are used, set the device selection IDs (SEL
IDs) on the backpanel so that no two devices have the same selection ID. This is called the hard assigned arbi-
trated loop physical address (AL_PA). There are 125 AL_PAs available (see Table 23). If you set the AL_PA on
the backpanel to any value other than 0, the device plugged into the backpanel’s SCA connector inherits this
AL_PA. In the event you don’t successfully assign unique hard addresses (and therefore have duplicate selec-
tion IDs assigned to two or more devices), the FC-AL generates a message indicating this condition. If you set
the AL_PA on the backpanel to a value of 0, the system issues a unique soft-assigned physical address auto-
matically.
Loop initialization is the process used to verify or obtain an address. The loop initialization process is per-
formed when power is applied to the drive, when a device is added or removed from the Fibre Channel loop, or
when a device times out attempting to win arbitration.
• Set all option selections in the connector prior to applying power to the drive. If you change options after
applying power to the drive, recycle the drive power to activate the new settings.
• It is not necessary to low-level format this drive. The drive is shipped from the factory low-level formatted in
512-byte logical blocks. You need to reformat the drive only if you want to select a different logical block size.
8.1
Drive orientation
The drive may be mounted in any orientation. All drive performance characterizations, however, have been
done with the drive in horizontal (discs level) and vertical (drive on its side) orientations, which are the two pre-
ferred mounting orientations.
8.2
Cooling
The host enclosure must dissipate heat from the drive. You should confirm that the host enclosure is designed
to ensure that the drive operates within the temperature measurement guidelines described in Section 6.4.1. In
some cases, forced airflow may be required to keep temperatures at or below the temperatures specified in
If forced air is necessary, possible air-flow patterns are shown in Figure 13. The air-flow patterns are created
by fans either forcing or drawing air as shown in the illustrations. Conduction, convection, or other forced air-
flow patterns are acceptable as long as the temperature measurement guidelines of Section 6.4.1 are met.

8.3
Drive mounting
Use M3 x .5 metric screws to mount the drive using either side, bottom, or end mounting holes. Select a screw
length that results in a minimum thread engagement of 0.12 inches when using the side-mounting holes or a
minimum thread engagement of 0.10 inches when using the bottom or end mounting holes. Use a maximum
torque of 4.5 +/- .45 in lbs. If the screws are torques above the specified values, threads could be stripped.
Note. Before mounting the drive in any kind of adapter frame, verify that the drive can meet the shock and
vibration specifications while mounted in such an adapter frame.
8.4
Grounding
Signal ground (PCBA) and HDA ground are connected together in the drive and cannot be separated by the
user. The equipment in which the drive is mounted is connected directly to the HDA and PCBA with no electri-
cally isolating shock mounts. If it is desired for the system chassis to not be connected to the HDA/PCBA
ground, the systems integrator or user must provide a nonconductive (electrically isolating) method of mount-
ing the drive in the host equipment.
Increased radiated emissions may result if you do not provide the maximum surface area ground connection
between system ground and drive ground. This is the system designer’s and integrator’s responsibility.

Dual port support
Savvio drives have two independent FC-AL ports. These ports may be connected on independent loops or on
the same loop. Port A and Port B may be connected in any order or combination.
• If both ports are connected on independent loops and hard addressing is used, the drive interface address is
selected through the interface connector, both ports will seek the same loop address. If no conflict, both
ports will have the same loop address.
• If both ports are connected in the same loop and hard addressing is used, at least one port will attempt tak-
ing a soft address to prevent an address conflict.
Subject to buffer availability, the Savvio drives support:
• Concurrent port transfers—The drive supports receiving transfers on both ports at the same time when the
ports are on independent loops.
• Full duplex—The drive supports sending FCP_Data, FCP_RSP, FCP_XFR_RDY and ELS transfers while
receiving frames on both ports.

FC-AL physical interface
Figure 14 shows the location of the J1 Fibre Channel single connection attachment (FC-SCA). Figure 16 pro-
vides the dimensions of the FC-SCA connector.
Details of the physical, electrical, and logical characteristics are provided within this section. The operational
aspects of Seagate’s Fibre Channel drives are provided in the Fibre Channel Interface Manual..

Physical characteristics
This section defines physical interface connector.
9.5.1.1
Physical description
FIbre Channel drives may be connected in a loop together or with other compatible FC-AL devices. A maxi-
mum of 127 devices may have addresses; however, one of the addresses is reserved for a fabric port switch
device. This means 126 addresses are available for FC-AL devices. More FC-AL compatible devices may
physically reside on the loop, but they will not be functional because they would not be able to obtain valid
addresses.
Port bypass circuits (PBCs) allow devices to be inserted into unpopulated locations or removed from the loop
with loop operation recovery after a brief interruption. These PBCs are located external to the FC-AL device.

*Short pins in mating backpanel connector.
[1] This pin may be connected to external logic to detect the presence of the drive. The drive connects this
pin to the common ground.
[2] Pins 9, 10, 17, 18, and 39 are option select pins and are tied high by the drive circuitry. The preferred elec-
trical connection at the backplane is either open or grounded (open for the ‘1’ setting, grounded for the ‘0’
setting). Alternatively, these pins may be driven by a 3.3V logic device, pulled up to 3.3V through a pull-up
resistor (recommended size of 10k ohm), or grounded through some other means.

Savvio drives use 100 ohm termination which makes it compatible with backplanes designed for 1, 2, or 4 Gbit
Fibre Channel transfer rates. Previous generations of Seagate FC products used 150 ohm impedance for
operation in host systems designed to operate in 1 or 2 Gbit transfer rate environments.
9.5.6
Power
Power is supplied through the FC-SCA with support for +5 volts and +12 volts. All of the voltage pins in the
drive connector are the same length.
Four 12 volt pins provide +12 volt power to the drive. The current return for the +12 volt power supply is
through the common ground pins. The supply current and return current must be distributed as evenly as pos-
sible among the pins. The maximum current typically occurs while the drive motor is starting.
Three 5 volt pins provide logic power to the drive. The current return for the +5 volt power supply is through the
common ground pins. Distribute supply and return current as evenly as possible among the voltage and
ground pins.
The mating connector pins use shorter contacts to achieve power surge reductions and to aid in “hot plugging”
the drives. There are longer voltage contacts in the connector to enable the drive filter capacitors to charge.
Current to the drive through the long charge pins is limited by the system in which the drive operates. Three of
the +12 volt pins are shorter to allow capacitive pre-charging through the longer +12 volt charge pin. Two of the
+5 volt pins are shorter to allow capacitive precharging through the longer +5 volt charge pin.
9.5.7
Fault LED Out
The Fault LED Out signal is driven by the drive when:
• the drive detects failure of both ports
• the drive detects an internal failure
• the drive receives the appropriate fault LED command from the host
The Fault LED Out signal is designed to pull down the cathode of an LED. The anode is attached to the proper
+5 volt supply through an appropriate current-limiting resistor. The LED and the current-limiting resistor are
external to the drive.

Savvio 15K.1 FC Product Manual, Rev. B
9.5.8
Active LED Out
The Active LED Out signal is driven by the drive as indicated in Table 21.

The Active LED Out signal is designed to pull down the cathode of an LED. The anode is attached to the
proper +5 volt supply through an appropriate current limiting resistor. The LED and the current limiting resistor
are external to the drive.
9.5.9
Enable port bypass signals
The – Enable Bypass Port A (– EN BYP Port A) and – Enable Bypass Port B (– EN BYP Port B) signals control
the port bypass circuits (PBC) located external to the disc drive. The PBC allows a loop to remain functional in
the event of a drive failure or removal. When these signals are active, low, the PBC bypasses the drive on the
associated port. When an Enable Bypass signal is active, the corresponding Port Bypass LED signal in con-
nector J1 is driven low by the disc drive. A pull down resistor, 1K, located with the PBC should be used to
insure the bypass is enabled if the disc drive is not installed.
The Enable Bypass signal is active under failing conditions within the drive, on detection of the Loop Port
Bypass primitive sequence, or on removal of the drive. In the bypass state the drive continues to receive on the
inbound fibre. Enable Bypass may be deactivated by detection of a Loop Port Enable primitive sequence if the
drive has completed self-test and a hardware failure is not present.
Failure modes detected by the disc drive that will enable bypass include:
• Transmitter/receiver wrap test failure
• Loss of receive clock
• Loss of transmission clock
• Drive interface hardware error
9.5.10
Motor start controls
The drive’s motor is started according to the Start_1 and Start_2 signals described in Table 22. The state of
these signals can be wired into the backplane socket or driven by logic on the backplane.

SEL_6 through SEL_0 ID lines
The SEL_6 through SEL_0 ID lines determine drive address, and, optionally, for an Enclosure Services Inter-
face. When the Parallel ESI line is high, the enclosure backpanel must provide address information on the SEL
line. Refer to table 23 for a mapping of SEL to FC-AL physical addresses (AL_PA). You can think of the SEL
lines as the equivalent of a backpanel logic plug. The drives does not provide pull up resistors on these lines.
The backpanel is required to provide high and low inputs to the SEL_ID lines per the specifications in table 25
on page 64.
Note. Table 23 gives AL_PA values for each SEL value. The first entry in the table is SEL_ID 00. The last
entry is SEL_ID 7D. SEL_ID 7E is AL_PA 00 which is not valid for an NL_Port, so is not included in
the table. Also, SEL_ID 7Fh does map to a valid AL_PA; however, this value signals the drive that
physical addresses are not being assigned using the SEL lines and that a “soft” address will be
determined by FC-AL loop initialization.
When the Parallel ESI line is low, the enclosure backpanel logic switches to ESI mode if supported. There are
two modes of ESI, seven bits of enclosure status and a bidirectional mode. ESI support and the mode are
determined by the drive using a discovery process. Refer to the Fibre Channel Interface Manual for a descrip-
tion of ESI operation.
9.5.11.1
Parallel Enclosure Services Interface (ESI)
The parallel ESI line is an output from the drive. This line provides the enclosure with an indication of the
present function of the SEL lines. A high level, the default state, indicates the drive requires address informa-
tion on the SEL lines. A low level indicates the drive is attempting an ESI transfer. The enclosure may not sup-
port ESI on any or all drive locations. It may only support the address function. Support of ESI is discovered by
the drive. Refer to the Fibre Channel Interface Manual for a description of ESI operations.

Device control codes
The drive inputs a Device Control Code on the DEV_CTRL_CODE lines at power up to determine the link rate
on the Fibre Channel ports. Both ports run at the same rate. If the backpanel does not connect to these lines,
the drive has 10K ohm pull up resistors that default the device control code to 7 (1.0625 GHz). Table lists the
supported codes.

Differential PECL output
The serial PECL output signal voltage characteristics are provided in Table 26. The outputs are not AC coupled
in order to deliver maximum signal without rise and fall time degradation. You must AC couple the receiver to
isolate potentially different DC characteristics of the outputs and the receiver.
