DISCLAIMER

Failure of the MAF series, MAE series and MAG series intelligent disk drive is defined as a failure requiring adjustments, repairs, or replacement. Fujitsu is not responsible for drive failures caused by misuse by the user, poor environmental conditions, power trouble, host problems, cable failures, or any failure not caused by the drive itself.

The suffix of the model name of the disk drive varies depending on the electrical requirements, capacity, and data format at factory shipment of the SCSI, i.e., the interface for connecting the three device types or host system and the disk drives (Note 1). However, in this manual, the typical model names (Note 2) are used unless otherwise noted. These disk drives may be called intelligent disk drives (IDD), drives, or devices in this manual.

Mounting Installation

Heat

4-10

 

An air flow with an adequate wind velocity must be maintained

 

 

to deal with much heat generated from the MAF3364xx.

 

 

Reference value: An air flow with a wind velocity of more than

 

 

0.5 m/s is required in an environment at 40°C,

 

 

and an air flow with a wind velocity of more

 

 

than 1.0m/s in an environment at 45°C (Center

 

 

of DE cover 55°C).

 

 

Data loss

5-5

 

1. The user must not change the setting of terminals not

 

 

described in this section. Do not change setting status set at

 

 

factory shipment.

 

 

2. Do not change the setting of terminals except following

 

 

setting pins during the power is turned on.

 

 

Write protect: CN2 9-10

 

 

3. To short the setting terminal, use the short plug attached

 

 

when the device is shipped from the factory.

 

 

Damage

5-11

 

1. Check that system power is off before connecting or

 

 

disconnecting cables.

 

 

2. Do not connect or disconnect cables when power is on.

 

 

Data loss

6-4

 

When the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command terminates with the

 

 

CHECK CONDITION status, the INIT must collect the error

 

 

information using the REQUEST SENSE command. The

 

 

RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS command cannot read out

 

 

the error information detected in the self-diagnostics.

 

 

Damage

6-5

 

Do not open the DE in the field because it is completely sealed.

 

 

Data loss

6-6

 

Save data stored on the disk drive before requesting repair.

CHAPTER 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1.1Standard Features

1.2Hardware Structure

1.3System Configuration

This chapter describes the feature and configuration of the intelligent disk drives (IDD).

IDDs are high performance large capacity 3.5-inch fixed disk drives with an embedded SCSI controller.

The interface between the IDD and host system is based on SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) standard [ANSI X3.131 - 1986: Small Computer System Interface (SCSI), ANSI X3.131-1994: Small Computer System Interface - 2 (SCSI-2)].

The flexibility and expandability of the SCSI, as well as the powerful command set of the IDD, allow the user to construct a high-performance reliable disk subsystem with large storage capacity.

1.1Standard Features

(1)Compactness

Since the SCSI controller circuit is embedded in the standard 3.5-inch fixed disk drive form factor, the IDD is extremely compact. The IDD can be connected directly to the SCSI bus of the host system .

(2)SCSI/CCS standard

The IDD provides not only SCSI basic functions but also the following features:

Arbitration

Disconnection/reselection

Data bus parity

Command set which meets the logical specification of the SCSI CCS (Common Command Set for Direct Access Device) requirements (Rev. 4.B)

The SCSI commands can manipulate data through logical block addressing regardless of the physical characteristics of the disk drive. This allows software to accommodate future expansion of system functions.

(3)8-bit SCSI/16-bit SCSI

The IDD has 16-bit data bus width (16-bit SCSI), which have the wide transfer function suitable for SCSI-2. This is also available as 8-bit data bus.

8-bit SCSI: Up to eight SCSI devices can be connected on the same SCSI bus.

16-bit SCSI: Up to 16 SCSI devices can be connected on the same SCSI bus.

For the ultra SCSI model, number of connectable SCSI devices on the same SCSI bus is varied as follows.

Up to 4 SCSI devices having capacitance of 25 pF: Cable length of up to 3.0 m.

5 to 8 SCSI devices having capacitance of 25 pF: Cable length of up to 1.5 m

(4)High speed data transfer

∙ 8-bit SCSI:

The data transfer rate on the SCSI bus is 40 MB/s maximum in

 

synchronous mode.

16-bit SCSI: The data transfer rate on the SCSI bus is 80 MB/s maximum in

synchronous mode for LC/LP models and 160 MB/s maximum in synchronous mode for MC/MP models.

Such a high data transfer rate on the SCSI bus can be useful with the large capacity buffer in the IDD.

C141-E064-03EN

Note:

The maximum data transfer rate in asynchronous mode may be limited by the response time of initiator and the length of SCSI bus length. The maximum data transfer rate in synchronous mode may be limited by the cable length, transmission characteristics of the SCSI bus and the connected SCSI device number.

(5)Continuous block processing

The addressing method of data blocks is logical block address. The initiator can access data by specifying block number in a logically continuous data space without concerning the physical structure of the track or cylinder boundaries.

The continuous processing up to [64K-1] blocks in a command can be achieved, and IDD can perform continuous read/write operation when processing data blocks on several tracks or cylinder.

(6)Programmable multi-segment data buffer

The data buffer is 2M bytes for LC/LP and 4M bytes for MC/MP. Data is transferred between SCSI bus and disk media through this data buffer. The data buffer is divided into 1 to 32 segments.

This feature provides the suitable usage environment for users.

Since the initiator can control the disconnect/reconnect timing on the SCSI bus by specifying the condition of stored data to the data buffer or empty condition of the data buffer, the initiator can perform the effective input/output operations with utilizing high data transfer capability of the SCSI bus regardless of actual data transfer rate of the disk drive.

(7)Read-ahead cache feature

After executing the READ command, the IDD reads automatically and stores (prefetches) the subsequent data blocks into the data buffer (Read-ahead caching).

The high speed sequential data access can be achieved by transferring the data from the data buffer without reaccessing the disk in case the subsequent command requests the prefetched data blocks.

(8)Command queuing feature

The IDD can queue maximum 128 commands, and optimizes the issuing order of queued commands by the reordering function. This feature realizes the high speed processing.

Recordering algorithm is adopted to prevent a specific command from staying in a queue for more than 3 seconds.

(9)Reserve and release functions

The IDD can be accessed exclusively in the multi-host or multi-initiator environment by using the reserve and release functions.

(10)Error recovery

The IDD can try to recover from errors in SCSI bus or the disk drive using its powerful retry processing. If a recoverable data check occurs, error-free data can be transferred to the initiator after being corrected in the data buffer. The initiator software is released from the complicated error recover processing by these error recovery functions of the IDD.

(11)Automatic alternate block reassignment

If a defective data block is detected during read, the IDD can automatically reassign its alternate data block.

(12)Programmable data block length

Data can be accessed in fixed-block length units. The data block length is programmable, and can at initializing with a multiple of two for LC/LP and four for MC/MP within the range of 512 to 528 bytes.

(13)Defective block slipping

A logical data block can be reallocated in a physical sequence by slipping the defective data block at formatting. This results in high speed contiguous data block processing without a revolution delay due to defective data block.

(14)High speed positioning

A rotary voice coil motor achieves fast positioning.

(15)Large capacity

A large capacity can be obtained from 3.5-inch disk drives by dividing all cylinders into several partitions and changing the recording density on each partition (constant density recording). The disk subsystem with large capacity can be constructed in the good space efficiency.

(16)Start/Stop of spindle motor

Using the SCSI command, the host system can start and stop the spindle motor.

(17)Diagnosis

The IDD has a diagnostic capability which checks internal controller functions and drive operations to facilitate testing and repair.

(18)Low power consumption

By using highly integrated LSI components, the power consumption of the IDD is very low, and this enables the unit to be used in wide range of environmental conditions.

(19)Low noise and low vibration

The noise level is low; approx. 4.2 bels for MAF series and 4.0 bels for MAE and MAG series. This makes it ideal for office use. The IDD has rubber vibration isolators, which minimize the transfer of vibration.

(20)Microcode downloading

The IDD implements the microcode download feature. This feature achieves easy maintainability of the IDD and function enhancing.

1.2Hardware Structure

An outer view of the IDD is given in Figures 1.1 to 1.6. The IDD is composed of the disk, head, spindle motor, hermetically sealed disk enclosure (DE) with actuator and air circulation filter, as well as read/write pre-amp with the print card unit (PCA) of the controller.

(3)Spindle motor

The disks are rotated by a direct-drive hall-less DC motor. The motor speed is controlled by a feedback circuit using the counter electromotive current to precisely maintain the speed at ±0.5% of the specified speed.

(4)Actuator

The actuator, which uses a rotary voice coil motor (VCM), consumes little power and generates little heat. The head assembly at the end of the actuator arm is controlled and positioned via feedback of servo information in the data.

The actuator positions heads on the CCS zone over the disk and is locked by the mechanical lock when the power is off or the spindle motor is stopped.

(5)Air circulation (recirculation filter, breather filter)

The heads, disks, and actuator are hermetically sealed inside a disk enclosure (DE) to keep out dust and other pollutants. The DE has a closed-loop air recirculation system. Using the movement of the rotating disks, air is continuously cycled through a filter. This filter will trap any dust generated inside the enclosure and keep the air inside the DE contaminant free. To prevent negative pressure in the vicinity of the spindle when the disks begin rotating, a breather filter is attached. The breather filter also equalizes the internal air pressure with the atmospheric pressure due to surrounding temperature changes.

(6)Read/write circuit

The read/write circuit utilizes a read channel mounted with a head IC that supports high-speed transmission and an EPR4ML (Extended Partial Response Class 4 Maximum Likelihood) modulation/demodulation circuit in order to prevent errors being triggered by external noise and to improve data reliability.

(7)Controller circuit

The controller circuit uses LSIs to increase the reliability and uses a high speed microprocessing unit (MPU) to increase the performance of the SCSI controller.

1.3System Configuration

Figure 1.8 shows the system configuration. The IDDs are connected to the SCSI bus of host systems and are always operated as target. The IDDs perform input/output operation as specified by SCSI devices which operate as initiator.

Figure 1.8 System configuration

(1)SCSI bus configuration

Up to eight SCSI devices operating as an initiator or a target can be connected to the SCSI bus for the 8-bit SCSI and up to 16 SCSI devices operating as an initiator or a target can be connected to the SCSI bus for the 16-bit SCSI in any combination.

For example, the system can be configured as multi-host system on which multiple host computers that operate as initiator or connected through the SCSI bus.

Using disconnect/reconnect function, concurrent input/output processing is possible on multiSCSI devices.

C141-E064-03EN

(2)Addressing of peripheral device

Each SCSI device on the bus has its own unique address (SCSI ID:#n in Figure 1.6). For input/output operation, a peripheral device attached to the SCSI bus that operates as target is addressed in unit called as logical unit. A unique address (LUN: logical unit number) is assigned for each logical unit.

The initiator selects one SCSI device by specifying that SCSI ID, then specifies the LUN to select the peripheral device for input/output operation.

The IDD is constructed so that the whole volume of disk drive is a single logical unit, the selectable number of SCSI ID and LUN are as follows:

SCSI ID:

8-bit SCSI:Selectable from 0 to 7 (switch selectable)

 

 

16-bit SCSI:Selectable from 0 to 15 (switch selectable)

LUN:

0 (fixed)
