Assembly/installation
Damage to drive
A hole or screw portion as shown in Figure 4.8 is used for adjusting air
pressure balance between inside and outside the DE. Do not fill with a
seal or label.
Seals on the DE prevent the DE inside from the dust. Do not damage or
peel off label s .
Damage
1. When dismounting the drive which is mounted on the system while
power is supplied to it.
•The drive to be dismounted must be separated from the loop.
Dismounting the drive which is not separated from the loop may
cause a n un expected err or.
•If the drive is not separated from the loop, issue an LPB to the
drive from the initiator in a primitive sequence of the order set.
•It is recommended to stop the spindle motor prior to this loop
separation operation. The spindle motor can be stopped by a
START/STOP command. It takes about 30 seconds for the
spindle motor to stop completely.
•Then, dismount the drive using the drive mounting/dismounting
mechanism, etc. of the system. If the drive is dismounted while
the spindle motor is running, special care is required to avoid
excessive vibration or shock to the drive. It is recommended to
stop the operation once the SCA connector breaks off contact
and wait until the spindle motor stops (about 30 seconds) before
dismount the drive.
•When storing or transporting the drive, put it in an antistatic
bag. (Shown in Section 5.1).
2. When dismounting the drive which is mounted on the system while
power is not supplied to it
•Do not move the drive until the drive stops completely (about 30
seconds if the spindle motor was stopped by a START/STOP
UNIT command, and about 30 seconds after powering-off when
the power was simply turned off).
•Then, dismount the drive using the drive mounting/dismounting
mechani s m, etc. of the system.
•When storing or transporting the drive, put it in an antistatic
bag. (Shown in Section 5.1).

CHAPTER 1 GENERAL DESCRIPT ION
1.1Standard Features
1.2Hardware Structure
1.3System Configuration
This chapter describes the feature and configuration of the intelligent disk drives (IDD).
MAF3364FC and MAG series in telligent disk drives (IDDs) are h igh per forma n ce lar ge cap acit y 3.5-in ch
fixed disk drives with an embedded fibre-channel controller.
The in terface between the MAF3364FC/MAG series intelligent disk drives and host system conforms to
the fibre channel PLDA stan dard [NCITS TR-19 FIBRE CHANNEL PRIVATE LOOP SCSI DIRECT
ATTACH (FC-PLDA] which covers from the fibre channel physical layer to SCSI command protocol.
A combination of the high transfer speed and long-distance transfer of the fibre channel and high function
command set of the MAF3364FC and MAG seri es intelligent disk drives will facilitate construction of a
high performance and highly reliable disk subsystem with large storage capacity.
With respect to data formatting, it is possible to change it to a format different from the one at the time of
shipment by performing reinitialization on the installed system.
C141-E078-02EN1 - 1
1.1Standard Features
(1)Compactness
The IDD has the FC-AL controller which supports the Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) of the fibre
chan nel modes defined by the ANSI standa rd, embedded in t he 3.5-inch fixed disk drive form
fact or.
(2)FC-AL standard
The IDD provides not only FC-AL basic functions but also the following features:
• Arbitration
• Data frame CRC function
• Command set which meets the logical specification of the SCSI CCS (Common Command
Set for Direct Access Device) requ i rement s (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 fun ct i on s.
(3)Dual port support
In order to support dual ports, the IDD is equipped with two pairs of fibre channel
driver/receiver.
(4)High speed data transfer
The data transfer rate on the fibre channel loop is 106.25 MB/s maximum. In addition, the large
capacity data buffer of the IDD allows the user to make full use of the high speed data transfer
capability of the fibre channel loop.
(5)High speed spindle motor
The IDD increases the number of revolutions of the spindle motor from conventional 7,200 rpm
to 10,025 rpm. Increasing the number of revolutions of the spindle motor will make it possible to
improve the data transfer rate and reduce the rotation wait time.
(6)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.
C141-E078-02EN1 - 2
(7)4MB programmable multi-segment data buffer
Data is transferred between fibre-channel loop and disk media through the embedded 4MB data
buffer in the IDD. This buffer can be divided into maximum 32 areas. This feature provides the
suitable usage environment for users.
Since the initiator can control the disconnect/reconnect timing on the fibre-channel loop 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 fibre-channel regardless of actual data transfer rate of the disk drive.
(8)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 .
(9)Command queuing feature
The IDD can queue maximum 63 commands, and optimizes the issuing order of queued
commands by the reordering function. This feature realizes the high speed processing.
(10)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.
(11)Enclosure service function
The IDD supports an enclosure service interface (ESI) compliant with the SFF-8067. This
interface provides the function of setting/readin enclosure service information using the SCSI-3
enclosure service command set (SES).
(12)Error recovery
The IDD can try to recover from errors in fibre-channel loop 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.
(13)Automatic alternate block reassignment
If a defective data block is detected during read, the IDD can automatically reassign its alternate
data block.
C141-E078-02EN1 - 3
(14)Programmable data block length
Data can be accessed in fixed-block l ength unit s. Th e data block length is programmable, and
can at initializing with a multiple of four for the 512 to 528 bytes.
(15)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.
(16)High speed positioning
A rotary voice coil motor achieves fast positioning.
(17)Large capacity
A large capacity can be obtained from 3-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.
(18)Start/Stop of spindle motor
Using the SCSI command, the host system can start and stop the spindle motor.
(19)Diagnosis
The IDD has a diagnostic capability which checks internal controller functions and drive
operations to facilitate testing and repair.
(20)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.
(21)Low noise and low vibration
The noise level is low: Approx. 4. 2 bels for th e MAF3364FC and 4.0 bels for the MAG series.
This makes it ideal for office use. The IDD has rubber vibration isolators, which minimize the
transfer of vibration.
(22)Microcode downloading
The IDD implements the microcode download feature. This feature achieves easy maintain ability
of the IDD and function enhancing.

1.2Hardware Structure
An outer view of the IDD is given in Figures 1.1 and 1.2. T he 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 sp eci fied speed.
C141-E078-02EN1 - 6
(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.
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 uses head LSI chips and extended partial response class 4 maximum
likelihood (EPR4ML) modulator and demodulator circuit to prevent errors caused by external
noise, thus improving 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.

Figure 1.4FC-AL syst e m confi g uration
The mode of connection of all devices to the fibre channel is called “node.” The drive and
initiator correspond to the node shown in Figure 1.4. Each node has at least one port called “Nport.” In the FC-AL, a port is particularly called “node loop (NL) port.” The MAF3364FC and
MAG series have two ports; one is connected to one FC-AL and a ma xim um of 126 NL ports can
be connected to on e loop.
(1)Loop configuration
One port incorporates a transmit circuit and receive ci rcuit . In formation is transmitted/received
by differential signals via electric signal lines. This pair of signal lines is called a link. Since
signals on a link are transmitted in one direction, wiring must be conducted so that it may form a
loop connection on t he system.
In the case of the FC-AL interface, information is transmitted/received via ea ch n ode conn ected
on a loop. Accordingl y, if the power supply is off at a node connected to the loop or if inter face
signals cannot be transmitted/received nor mally, the loop will no longer function. To avoid such
a nonconformity, a circuit called “port bypass circuit” is generally provided on the back plane of
the system. BC in Figur e 1 . 4 shows this por t bypass cir cui t .
(2)Node addressing
Each node on the fibre channel loop is assigned its specific model number (SEL ID). The SEL
ID of the drive is set at the signal level on the back plane through 7 signals from SEL_0 to
SEL_6 of the SCA interface connector (CN1). In signal bit weighting, SEL_6 is the MSB
indicating 2
6
and SEL_0 is the LSB indicating 20.
The SEL ID setting of the drive ranges from #0(x‘00’) to #125(x‘7D’).
