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
1.1 Standard Features
1.2 Hardware Structure
1.3 System 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-E078-02EN 1 - 1
1.1 Standard 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-E078-02EN 1 - 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.
C141-E078-02EN1 - 4
1.2 Hardware 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.

(1) Disks
The disks have an outer diameter of 84 mm (3.31 inch) and inner diameter of 25 mm (0.98 inch).
The disks are good for at least 15,000 contact starts and stops. Each model contains following
number of disks.
MAF3364:10

MAG3091:3
(2) Heads
The MR (Magnet - Resistive) of the CSS (contact start/stop) type heads are in contact with the
disks when the disks are not rotating, and automatically float when the rotation is started. Figure
1.5 shows the configuration of disks and heads.

(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.
(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 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 1.4 FC-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’).

3.3 Defect Management
This chapter explains data space definition, logical data block addressing, and defect management on the
IDD.
3.1 Data Space
The IDD manages the entire data storage area divided into the following three data spaces.
• User sp ace: St orage a rea for user d ata
• Internal test space: Reserved area for diagnostic purposes
• System sp ace: Area for ex clusive us e of IDD i tself
The user space allow a user access by specifying data. These space can be accessed with the
logical data block addressing method described in Section 3.2. The internal test space is used by
Read/write test of self-diagnostics test, but user can’t use direct access. The system space is
accessed inside the IDD at power-on or during the execution of a specific command, but the user
cannot direct ly access th e s ystem space.
3.1.1 Cylinder configuration
The IDD allocates cylinders to the user space, internal test space, and system space. Figure 3.1 is
the cylinder configuration.
Spare areas (alternate areas) for defective sectors are provided in the user space. Several sectors
in the last track of one cylinder and several cylinders (alternate cylinders) in the user space are
allocated as alternate areas according to the user's assignment (MODE SELECT command). See
Subsection 3.1.2 for details.

Remarks: The sector/track capacities are expressed in values when the logical data block is 512 bytes
long.
(1) User space
The user space is a storage area for user data. The data format on the user space (the length of
data block and the number of data blocks) can be specified with th e MODE SELECT or MODE
SELECT EXTENDED command.
C141-E078-02EN 3 - 3
The default number of cylinders in th e user space is 10,200 for MAF3364FC and 9, 866 for MAG
series. The user, however, can select the number of cylinders to be allocated in the user space by
specifying 10,200 for MAF3364FC and 9,866 for MAG series as the maximum and the n umber
of alternate cylinders + 1 as the minimum. The user can also specify the number of logical data
blocks to be placed in t he user spa ce with th e MODE SE LECT or MODE SE LECT EXT ENDED
command. When the number of logical data blocks is specified, as many cylinders as required to
place the specified data blocks are allocated in the user space.
A number starting with 0 is assigned to each cylinder required in the user space in ascending
order. If the number does not reach 10,200 (MAF3364FC) and 9,866 (MAG seri es), the rest of
the cylinders will not be used.
Always one alternate cylinders can be established in the user space. Alternate cylinders will be
used for alternate blocks when primary cylinders in the user space are used up. See Subsections
3.1.2 and 3.3.2 for details.
(2) Internal test space
The Internal test space is an area for diagnostic purposes only and its data block length is always
512 byte. The internal test space consists of only 1 cylinder and outer-host cylinder (–37) is
always assigned. The user cannot change the number of cylinders in the internal test space or
their positions.
The IDD reads or writes the data block in the CE space during the self-diagnostic test specified
with the setting terminal (diagnostic mode) or a SEND DIAGNOSTIC command.
(3) System space
The system space is an area for exclusive use of the IDD itself and the following information are
recorded. The length of the data block is always 512 bytes.
• Defect list (P list and G list)
• MODE SELEC T p a rameter (saved value)
• Statistical information (log data)
• Controller control information
The above information are duplicated in several different locations for safety.
Note:
The system space is also called SA space.
3.1.2 Alternate spare area
The alternate spare area is provided in the last track of each primary cylinder in the user space,
and in the last track of the cylinder and the alternate cylinder.
C141-E078-02EN3 - 4
The s pare a rea in ea ch cylin der i s placed at th e end of the la st tr ack a s shown i n Fig ure 3. 2. Th ese
spare sectors are located in the end of the track logically, not necessarily located at the end physically
because of track skew or cylinder skew. (Details are explained on Subsection 3.1.3.)
Size can be specified by the MODE SE LE CT or MODE SELEC T EXTENDED command.
The n umber of spar e sectors per cylinder can be speci fied exceedi ng 32 . Th e default num ber of
spare sectors per cylinder is 20 for the MAF3364FC and MAG3182FC and 12 for the
MAG3091FC.
SPR1
Figure 3.2 Spare area in cylinders
An alternate cylinder is used when spare sectors in a cylinder are used up or 0 is specified as the
number of spare sectors in a cylinder. Several cylinders at the end of the user space are allocated
as alternate cylinders as shown in Figure 3.3.
The number of alternate cylinder is 1.
The user space and the CE space share the alternate cylinders.
3.1.3 Track format
(1) Physical sector allocation
Figure 3.4 shows the allocation of the physical sectors in a track. Th e length in bytes of each
physical sector and the number of sectors per track vary depending on the logical data block
length. The unused area (G4) exists at the end of the track in formats with most logical data
block lengths.
Figure 3.3 Alternate cylinder
C141-E078-02EN 3 - 5
The interval of the sector pulse (length of the physical sector) is decided by multiple of 20MHz
free running frequency. This clock is not equal to the interval of the byte clock for each zone.
Therefore, the physical sector length cannot be described with a byte length.
*1: MAF3364FC, MAG series
(2) Track skew and cylinder skew
119,700 CLKs*1 (20MHz)
Figure 3.4 Track format
To avoid waiting for one turn involved in head and cylinder switching, the first logical data block
in each track is shifted by the number of sectors (track skew and cylinder skew) corresponding to
the switching time. Figure 3.5 shows how the data block is allocated in each track.
At the head switching location in a cylinder, the first logical data block in track t + 1 is allocated
at the sector position which locates the track skew behind the sector position of the last logical
data block sector in track t.
At the cylinder switching location, like the head switching location, the first logical data block in
a cylinder is allocated at the sector position which locates the cylinder skew behind the last
logical sector position in the preceding cylinder. The last logical sector in the cylinder is
allocated when formatting, and is an unused spare sector.
C141-E078-02EN3 - 6
The n u m ber of ph ysica l sector s ( tr a ck s kew fact or a n d cylin der skew fact or ) cor r espon di n g t o t h e
skew time varies depending on the logical data block length because the track skew and the
cylinder skew are managed for individual sectors. The IDD automatically determines appropriate
values for th e track skew factor a nd th e cylin der skew factor accordin g to the speci fied logical
data block length. The value can be read out by the MODE SENSE or MODE SENSE
EXTENDED command after the track has been formatted.
3.1.4 Sector format
Each sector on the track consists of an ID field, a data field, and a gap field which separates
them. Figure 3.6 and Table 3.3 gives sector format examples.
Figure 3.5 Track skew/cylinder skew
G1: 8 bytes
PLO Sync: 17 bytes

PAD 1: 7 bytes
PAD 2: 8 bytes
PAD 3: 6 bytes
Figure 3.6 Sector format
C141-E078-02EN 3 - 7
Each sector on the track consists of the following fields:
(1) Gaps (G1)
The gap length at the time of formatting (initializing) is listed in Figure 3.7. Pattern X'00' is
written on the gap field.
(2) PLO Sync
In this field, pattern X'00' in the length in bytes listed in Figure 3.6 is written.
(3) Trailing (TRNG)/Sync Byte (SB)
In this field, special pattern in th e length in bytes listed in Figure 3.6 is written.
(4) LBA
The logical block address is written in this field.
(5) Data field
User data is stored in the data field of the sector. The length of the data field is equal to that of
the logical data block which is specified with a parameter in the MODE SELECT command.
Any even number between 512 to 528 bytes can be specified as the length.
(6) BCRC
It is a 4-byte error detection code. Errors in the ID field. Single burst errors with lengths of up to
32 bit s for each logical block can be detect ed.
(7) ECC
24-byte data error detection/correction code for the data field. It is possible to on-the-fly correct
the single burst errors with lengths of up to 89 bits.
(8) PAD 1
A specified length of x‘00’ pattern shown in Figure 3.6 is written in this field. This field
includes the variation by rotation and circuit delay till reading/writing.
(9) PAD 2/ PAD 3
A specified length of x‘00’ pattern shown in Figure 3.6 is written in this field. This field
contains the processing time necessary to process next sector continuously. This field have
rotational speed variation.
C141-E078-02EN3 - 8
3.1.5 Format capacity
The size of the usable area for storing user data on the IDD (format capacity) varies according to
the logical data block or the size of the spare sector area. Table 3.3 lists examples of the format
capacity when the typical logical data block length and the default spare area are used. The
following is the general formula to calculate the format capacity.
[Num ber of se ctors of each z one] = [nu mber of sect ors p er t rac k × number of tracks (heads) –
number of alternate spare sectors per cylinder] × [number of cylinders in the zone]
[Formatted capacity] = [total of sectors of all zones] – [number of sectors per track in last zone ×
number of tracks (heads) × number of alternate cylinders] ÷ [number of physical sectors in logical
block] × [logical data block length]
The following formula must be used when the number of logical data blocks are specified with
the parameter in t he MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT E XTENDED command.
[Format capacity] = [logical data block length] × [number of logical data blocks]
The logical data block length, the maximum logical block address, and the number of the logical
data blocks can be read out by a READ CAPACITY, MODE SENSE, or MODE SENSE
EXTENDED command after initializin g the disk medium.

3.2 Logica l Data Block Addre ssi ng
Independently of the physical structure of the disk drive, the IDD adopts the logical data block
addressing as a data access method on the disk medium. The IDD relates a logical data block
address to each physical sector at formatting. Data on the disk medium is accessed i n logical
data block units. The INIT specifies the data to be accessed using the logical data block address
of that data.
The logical data block addressing is a function whereby individual data blocks are given
addresses of serial binaries in each drive.
(1) Block address of user space
The logical data block address number is consecutively assigned to all of the data blocks in the
user space starting with 0 to the first data block.
The IDD treats sector 0, track 0, cylinder 0 as the first logical data block. The data block is
allocated in ascending order of addresses in the following sequence (refer to Figure 3.5):
1) Numbers are assigned in ascending order to all sectors in the same track.
2) By following step 1), numbers are assigned in ascending order of tracks to all sectors in each
track in the same cylinder except the last track.
3) By following step 1), numbers are assigned to all sectors in the last track except the spare
sectors .
4) After completing steps 1) through 3) for the same cylinder, this allocation is repeated from
track 0 in th e next cylinder an d on to the l ast cylinder (cylinder p-q in Figur e 3. 1) except for
the alternate cylinders in ascending order of cylinder numbers.
When the logical data block is allocated, some sectors (track skew and cylinder skew) shown in
Figure 3.5 are provided to avoid waiting for one turn involving head and cylinder switching at
the location where the track or the cylinder is physically switched.
See Subsection 3.3.2 for defective/alternate block treatment and the logical data block allocation
method in case of defective sectors exist on the disk.
(2) Alternate area
Alternate areas in the user space (spare sectors in the cylinder and alternate cylinders) are not
in clud ed i n th e a bove logi cal data block addresses. Access to sectors which are allocated as an
alternate block in the alternate area is made automatically by means of IDD sector slip treatment
or alternate block treatment (explained in Subsection 3.3.2), so the user does not have to worry
about accessing the alternate area. The user cannot access with specifying the data block on the
alternate area explicitly.
C141-E078-02EN3 - 10
3.3 Defect Management
3.3.1 Defect list
Information of the defect location on the disk is managed by the defect list. The following are
defect lists which the IDD manages.
• P list (Primary defect list): This list consists of defect location information available at the
disk drive shipment and is recorded in a system space. The defects in this list ar e permanent,
so the INIT must execute the alternate block allocation using this list when initializin g the
disk.
• D list (Data defect list): This list consists of defect location information specified in a
FORMAT UNIT command by the INIT at the initialization of the disk. This in formation is
recorded in the system space of the disk drive as the G list. To execute the alternate block
allocation, the FORMAT UNIT command must be specified.
• C list (Certification defect list): This list consists of location information on defective blocks
which are detected by the verifying operation (certification) of the data block after the
initiation when executing the FORMAT UNIT command. The IDD generates this
information when executing the FORMAT UNIT command, and the alternate block
allocation is made upon the defective block. This information is recorded in the system space
of the disk drive as the G list.
• G list (Growth defect list): This list consists of defective logical data block location
information specified in a REASSIGN BLOCKS command by the INIT, information on
defective logical data blocks assigned alternate blocks by means of IDD automatic alternate
block allocation, information specified as the D list, and information generated as the C list.
They are recorded i n the system space on the di sk drive.
The INIT can read out the co nte nts of the P and G lis ts by the READ DEF EC T D A TA command.
3.3.2 Alternate block allocation
The alternate data block is allocated to a defective data block (= sectors) in defective sector units
by means of the defect management method inside the IDD.
The INIT can access all logical data blocks in the user space, as long as there is no error.
Spare sectors to which alternate blocks are allocated can be provided in either "spare sectors in a
cylinder" or "alternate cylinders". See Subsection 3.1.2 for details.
The INIT can specify the size and area for spare sectors by the MODE SELECT or MODE
SELECT EXTENDED command at the time of the initialization of the disk.
Both of the following are applicable to the alternate block allocation.
• Sector slip treatment: Defective sectors are skipped and the logical data block corresponding
to those sectors is allocated to the next physical sectors. This treatment is made on the same
cylinder as the defective sector's and is effective until all spare sectors in that cylinder are
used up.
C141-E078-02EN 3 - 11
• Alternate sector treatment: The logical data block corresponding to defective sectors is
allocated to unused spare sectors in the same cylinder or unused spare sectors in the alternate
cylinder.
The alternate block allocation is executed by the FORMAT UNIT command, the REASSIGN
BLOCKS command, or the automatic alternate block allocation. Refer to OEM Manual–SCSI
Logical Specifications–for details of specifications on these commands. The logical data block is
allocated to the next physically continued sectors after the above sect or sli p treatment is made.
On the other hand, the logical data block is allocated to spare sectors which are n ot physically
consecutive to the adjacent logical data blocks. If a command which processes several logical
data blocks is specified, the IDD processes those blocks in ascending order of logical data block.
(1) Alternate block allocation during FORMAT UNIT command execution
When the FORMAT UNIT command is specified, the allocation of the alternate block to those
defective sectors included in the specified lists (P, G, or D) is continued until all spare sectors in
the same cylinder are used up. When they are used up, unused spare sectors in the alternate
cylinder are allocated to the subsequent sectors in the cylinder by means of alternate sector
treatment. Figure 3.7 is examples of the alternate block allocation during the FORMAT UNIT
command execution.

Figure 3.7 Al t e rnate block allocation by FORMAT UNIT command
If the data block verifying operation (certification) is not permitted (DCRT flag = 0) in the
FORMAT UNIT command, the IDD checks all initialized logical data blocks by reading them
out after the above alternate block allocation is made to initialize (format) the disk. If a defective
data block is detected during the check, the IDD generates the C list for defect location
information and allocates the alternate block to the defective data block. This alternate block
allocation is made by means of alternate sector treatment only like processing by the REASSIGN
BLOCKS command even if unused spare sectors exists in the same cylinder.
C141-E078-02EN 3 - 13
(2) Alternate block allocation by REASSIGN BLOCKS command
When th e REASSIGN BLOCKS command is specified, the alternate block is allocated to the
defective logical data block specified by the initiator by means of alternate sector treatment. If
there are unused spare sectors in the same cylinder as the specified defective logical data block,
the alternate block is allocated to these unused spare sectors. However, the alternate block is
allocated to unused spare sectors in the alternate cylinder when all spare sectors in the cylinder
are used up.
Figure 3.8 is examples of the alternate block allocation by the REASSIGN BLOCKS command.

C141-E078-02EN3 - 14
(3) Automatic alternate block allocation
If the ARRE flag in the MODE SELECT parameter permits the automatic alternate block
allocation, the IDD automatically executes the alternate block allocation and data duplication on
the defective data block detected during the READ EXTENDED command. This allocation
method is the same a s wit h th e REASSIGN BLOCKS command (alternate sector treatment).
Automatic alternate block allocation is made only once during the
execution of one command. If second defective block is detected,
the alternate block assignment processing for the first defective
block is executed but the alternate block assignment processing for
the second one is not executed and the command being executed
terminates. However, the initiator can recover the twice error by
issuing the same command again.
When an error is detected in a data block in the data area, recovery
data is rewritten and verified in automatic alternate block
allocation during the execution of the READ or READ EXTENDED
command. Alternate block allocation will not be made for the data
block if recovery is successful.
Example: Even if the data error which is recoverable by the
WRITE LONG command is simulated, automatic
alternate block allocation will not be made for the data
block.

• Make a suitable air flow so that the DE surface temperature does not exceed 55°C.
CAUTION
An air flow with an adequate wind velocity must be maintained to
deal with much heat generated from the MAC30xxFC.
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).
• Cool the PCA side especially with air circulation inside the cabinet. Confirm the cooling
effect by measuring temperature of specific ICs and the DE. These measurement results
should be within a criteria listed in Table 4.1.

The IDD uses a high performance magnet to achieve a high speed seek. Therefore, a leak
magnetic flux at surface of the IDD is large. Mount the IDD so that the leak magnetic flux does
not affect to near equipment.
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.

4.2 Power Supply Requirements
(1) Allowable input voltage and current
The power supply input voltage measured at the power supply connector pin of the IDD
(recei vin g en d) mu st s atisfy the requirement given in Subsection 2.1.3. (For other requirements,
see Items (4) and (5) below.)

(3) Power on/off sequence
a) Th e order of the power on/off sequence of +5 VDC and +12 VDC, supplied to the IDD, does
not matter.
(4) Sequential starting of spindle motors
After power is turned on to the IDD, a large amount of current flows in the +12 VDC line when the
spindle motor rotation starts. Therefore, if more than one IDD is used, the spindle motors should be
started sequentially using one of the following procedures to prevent overload of the power supply unit.
For how to se t a spindle motor start control mo d e, see S u bsection 5.3.2.
a) Issue START/STOP UNIT command at 20-second intervals to start the spindle motors. For
details of this command specification, refer to SCSI Logical Interface Specifications.
For details of this command, see "Chapter 4 Command Specification" of the Fibre Channel
Interface Specification.

b) Turn on the +12 VDC power in the power supply unit at 20-second intervals to start the
spindle motors sequentially.
C141-E078-02EN
(5) Noise filter
To eliminate AC line noise, a noise filter should be installed at the AC input terminal on th e IDD
power supply unit. The specification of this noise filter is as follows:
• Attenuation: 40 dB or more at 10 MHz
• Circuit construction: T-configuration as shown in Figure 4.10 is recommended.

for Use
5.5 Dismounting Drive
This chapter describes the notes on handling drives, connections, setting switches and plugs, mounting
drives, connecting cables, confirming drive operations after installation and preparation for use, and
dismounting drives.
5.1 Notes on Handling Drives
(1) General notes
a) Do not give the drive shocks or vibrations exceeding the value defined in the standard
because it may cause critical damage to the drive. Especially be careful when unpacking.
b) Do not leave the drive in a dirty or contaminated environment.
c) Since static discharge may destroy the CMOS semiconductors in th e dr i ve, note t he followin g
after unpacking:
• Use an antistatic mat and body grounding when handling the drive.
• Hold the DE when handling the drive. Do not touch PCAs except for setting.
(2) Unpackaging
a) Use a flat work area. Check that the "This Side Up" sign side is up. Handle the package on
soft material such as a rubber mat, not on hard material such as a desk.
b) Be careful not to give excess pressure to the internal unit when removing cushions.
c) Be car eful not t o give excess pres sure to th e PCAs an d in terface con nector when removin g
the drive from the antistatic bag.
d) Do not remove the sealing label or cover of the DE and screws.
C141-E078-02EN
5 - 1
(3) Installation
a) When mounting/dismounting the drive, make sure the vibration and shock requirements of
"2.1.3 Environmental Specification" are met.
b) When removing the spindle motor from the system without stopping it while power is on, pay
special attention to shock in particular until the disk drive completely stops running (about 30
seconds).
(4) Packaging
a) Store the drive in an antistatic vinyl bag with a desiccant (silica gel).
b) It is recommended to use the same cushions and packages as those at delivery. If those at
delivery cannot be used, use a package with shock absorption so that the drive is free from
direct shocks. In this case, fully protect the PCAs and interface connector so that th ey are not
damaged.
c) In dicate "This Side Up" and "Handle With Care" on the outside of the package so that it is
not turned over.
(5) Delivery
a) When delivering the drive, provide packaging and do not turn it over.
b) Minimize the delivery distance after unpacking and avoid shocks and vibrations with
cushions. For the carrying direction at delivery, use one of the mount allowable directions in
Subsection 4.1.2 (vertical direction is recommended).
(6) Storage
a) Provide vap orproof packagi ng for storage.
b) The storage environment must satisfy the requirements specified in Subsection 2.1.3 when
the drive is not operating.
c) To prevent condensation, avoid sudden changes in temperature.

5.3 Mounting Drives
5.3.1 Mounting procedures
Sin ce mount ing the drive dep ends on th e system cabinet st ructu re, d eterm ine t he work proced u res
considering the requirements specific to each system. The general mounting method and items to
be checked are shown below.
See Subsection 4.1 for the details of requirements for installing the IDD.
1) Fix the drive in the system cabinet with four mounting screws as follows:
• The dr ive has 8 mounting h oles (both sides: 2 × 2, bottom: 4). Fix the drive by using
four mounting holes of both sides or the bottom. (See Figure 4.5)
• Use mounting screws whose lengths inside the drive mounting frame are 4 mm or less
when the screws are tig htened (see Figur e 4.4).
• When mounting the drive, be careful not to damage parts on the PCAs.
2) Check to ensure that the DE is not touching the frame on the system side after tightening th e
screws. At least 2.5 mm of clearance is required between the DE and the frame. (Indicated
in Figure 4.4)
3) When an electric driver is in use, less than low-impact device specifications must be used.

C141-E078-02EN
5.4 Confirming Operations after Installation and Preparation for Use
5.4.1 Confirming initial operations
This section describes the operation check procedures after power is turned on. Since the initial
operation of the IDD depends on the setting of the motor start mode, check the initial operation
by either of the following procedu res.
(1) Initial operation in the case of setting so that motor starts at powering-on
a) When power is turned on, the IDD executes initial self-diagnosis.
b) If an error is detected in initial self-diagnosis, the Fault LED lights up.
Remark:
The spindle motor may or may not start rotating in this stage.
c) When the IDD status is idle, the Active LED remains off (the LED lights up when the
initiator accesses the IDD).
(2) Initial operation in the case of setting so that motor starts with START/STOP UNIT command
a) When power is turned on, the IDD executes initial self-diagnosis.
b) If an error is detected in initial self-diagnosis, the Fault LED lights up.
c) The spindle motor does not start rotating until the START/STOP UNIT command for the
start is issued. The INIT needs to issue the START/STOP UNIT command to start the
spindle motor by the procedure in Subsection 5.6.2.
d) The disk drive enters the READY status in 30 seconds after the START/STOP UNIT
command is issued. At this time, the IDD reads "system information" from the system space
on the disk.
e) Th e active LED blinks during command execution.
(3) Check items at illegal operation
a) Check that IDD are mounted correctly.
b) Check that power and voltages are supplied correctly (measure them with the IDD power
connection position).
c) When the Fault LED continues lighting up, indicates that an error is detected in initial self-
diagnosis. In this case, it is recommended to issue the REQUEST SENSE command from the
initiator (host system) to obtain information (sense data) for error analysis.
C141-E078-02EN
5 - 5
The LED lights during the IDD is executing a command. However,
in same commands, the lighting time i s only an i nstant . Therefore,
it seems that the LED blinks or the LED remains off.
5.4.2 Checking connection
When the initial operation is checked normally after power is turned on, check that the IDD is
conn ected to the loop from th e host system. A lthoug h checki ng th e connect ion depen ds on th e
str u cture of t he host system, thi s s ection d es cribes t he genera l proced u res.
(1) Checking pr ocedure
Issuing the commands and determining the end status depends on the start mode of the spindle
motor and unit attention report mode (specified with setting terminal). Figure 5.1 shows the
recommended checking procedure for the mode that the motor starts when power is turned on.
Figure 5.2 shows for the mode that the motor starts by the START/STOP UNIT command. In
thes e recommended checking procedures, foll owing i t ems are check ed .
Note:
IMPORTANT
Following steps a) to e) correspond to a) to e) in Figures 5.1 and 5.2.
a) Issue the T EST UNIT READY command and check that the IDD is connected correctly
to the loop and the initial operation after power is turned on ended normally. The
command issue period of the TEST UNIT READY command shall be more than 20 ms.
b) To control starting of the spindle motor from the host system, issue the START/STOP
UNIT command to start the spindle motor.
c) Ch eck the loop operations with the WRITE BUFFER and READ BUFFER commands.
d) Sta rt the IDD self-diagn ostic test with th e SEND DIAGNOSTIC command and check
the basic operations of the controller and disk drive.

(2) Checking at abnormal end
a) When sense data can be obtained with the REQUEST SENSE command, analyze the sense
data and retry recovery for a recoverable error. Refer to Chapter 5 of Fibre Channel Interface
Specifications for further details.
b) Check the setting of the terminals. Note that the checking procedure of loop connection
differs depending on the setting of the motor start mode and unit attention report mode.
5.4.3 Formatting
Since the disk drive is formatted with a specific (default) data format for each model (part
number) when shipped from the factory, the disk need not be formatted (initialized) when it is
installed in the system.
However, when the system needs data attributes different from the default format, all sides of the
disk must be formatted (initialized) according to the procedures below.
The user can change the following data attributes at initialization:
• Logical data block length
• Number of logical data blocks or number of cylinders in the user space
• Alternate spare area size
This section outlines the formatting at installation. Refer to Chapters 4 and 6 of Fibre Channel
Interface Specifications for further details.
(1) MODE SELECT/MODE SE LE C T E XTENDED command
Specify the format attributes on the disk with the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT
EXTENDED command. The parameters are as follows.
a. Block descriptor
Specify the size (byte length) of the logical data block in the "data block length" field. To
explicitly specify the number of logical data blocks, specify the number in the "number of
data blocks" field. Otherwise, specify 0 in "number of data blocks" field. In this case, the
number of logical data blocks after initialization is determined by the value specified in the
format parameter (page code = 3) and drive parameter (page code = 4).
b. Format parameter (page code = 3)
Specify the number of spare sectors for each cylinder in the "alternate sectors/zone" field and
specify the number of tracks for alternate cylinders (= number of alternate cylinders ×
number of disk drive heads) in the "alternate tracks/zone" field. It is recommended not to
specify values smaller than the IDD default value in this field.
C141-E078-02EN 5 - 9
c. Drive parameter (page code = 4)
To explicitly specify the number of cylinders in the user space, specify the number in the
"number of cylinders" field. Note that the number of alternate cylinders specified by the
format parameter (page code = 3) is included in the number of cylinders in the user space.
When the number of cylinders n eed not be specified, specify 0 or the default value in the
"number of cylinders" field. In this case, either of the smaller value between the number of
cylinders to allocate the number of logical data blocks specified in the "number of data
blocks" field of the block descriptor or the maximum number of cylinders that can be used as
the user space on the disk drive is allocated in the user space. When 0 is specified both in the
"number of cylinders" field and the "number of data blocks" field of the block descriptor, the
maximum number of cylinders that can be used as the user space on the disk drive is
allocated in the user space.
(2) FORMAT UNIT command
Initialize all sides of the disk with the FORMAT UNIT command. The FORMAT UNIT
command initializes all sides of the disk using the P lists, verifies data blocks after initialization,
and allocates an alternate block for a defect block detected with verification. With initialization,
the value "00" is written into all bytes of all logical data blocks. Only the position information of
defect blocks detected with verification is registered in the G list. The specifications are as
follows:
a. Specifying CDB
Specify 0 for the "FmtData" bit and the "CmpLst" bit on CDB, 000 for the "Defect List
Format" field, and data pattern written into the data block at initialization for the "initializing
data pattern" field.
b. Format parameter
When the values in step a. are specified with CDB, the format parameter is not needed.
5.4.4 Setting parameters
The user can specify the optimal operation mode for the user system environments by setting the
following par a meters with the MODE SE LE CT or MODE SELEC T EXTENDED command:
• Error recovery parameter
• Disconnection/reconnection parameter
• Caching parameter
• Control mode parameter
With t he MODE SELECT or MODE SELE C T EXTENDE D command, specify 1 for the "SP" bit
on CDB to save the specified parameter value on the disk. This enables the IDD to operate by
using the parameter value set by the user when power is turned on again. When th e system has
more than one INIT, different parameter value can be set for each INIT.
C141-E078-02EN5 - 10
When the parameters are not set or saved with the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT
EXTENDED command, the IDD sets the default values for parameters and operates when power
is turned on or after reset. Although the IDD operations are assured with the default values, the
operations are not always optimal for the system. To obtain the best performance, set the
parameters in consideration of the system requirements specific to the user.
This section outlines the parameter setting procedures. Refer to Chapter 4 of Fibre Channel
Interface Specifications for further details of the MODE SELECT and MODE SELECT
EXTENDED commands and specifying the parameters.
IMPORTANT
1. At factory shipment of the IDD, the saving operation for the MODE
SELECT parameter is not executed. So, if the user does not set
parameters, the IDD operates according to the default value of each
parameter
2. The model select parameter is not saved for each SCSI ID of but as the
common parameter for all IDs. In the multi-INIT System, parameter
setting cannot be changed for each INIT.
3. Once parameters are saved, the saved value is effective as long as next
saving operation is executed from the INIT. For example, even if the
initialization of the disk is performed by the FORMAT UNIT command,
the saved value of parameters described in this section is not affected.
4. When the IDD, to which the saving operation has been executed on a
system, is connected to another system, the user must pay attention to
that the IDD operates according to the saved parameter value if the
saving operation is not executed at installation.
5. The saved value of the MODE SELECT parameter is assumed as the
initial value of each parameter after the power-on, the RESET
condition, or the BUS DEVICE RESE T message. The INIT can change
the parameter value temporary (actively) at any timing by issuing the
MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED command with
specifying "0" to the SP bit in the CDB.
C141-E078-02EN 5 - 11
(1) Error recovery parameter
The following parameters are used to control operations such as IDD internal error recovery:
a. Read/write error recovery parameters (page code = 1)

IMPORTANT
1. The user can arbitrarily specify the following parameters
according to the system requirements:
• ARRE
• TB
• PER
2. The user also can arbitrarily specify parameters other than the
above. However, it is recommended to use the default setting in
normal operations.
C141-E078-02EN5 - 12
0 (disabled)

(2) Disconnection/reconnection param eters (page code = 2)
The following parameters are used to optimize the start timing of reconnection processing to
transfer data on the loop at a read (READ or READ EXTENDED command) or write operation
(WRITE, WRITE EXTENDED, or WRITE AND VERIFY command) of the disk. Refer to
Chapter 3 of Fibre Channel Interface Specifications for further details.
a. Disconnection/reconnection parameters (page code = 2)
Parameter Default value
• Buffer full ratio 20 (HEX)
• Buffer empty ratio 20 (HEX)
IMPORTANT
1. In a system without the disconnection function, these parameters
need not be specified.
2. Determine the parameter values in consideration of the
following performance factors of the system:
• Time required for reconnection processing
• Average amount of processing data specified with a
command
(3) Cachin g pa rameters
The following parameters are used to optimize IDD Read-Ahead caching operations under the
system environments. Refer to Chapter 3 of Fibre Channel Interface Specifications for further
details.
Refer to Chapter 3 of Fibre Channel Interface Specifications for
how to obtain the rough calculation values for the parameter
values to be set. It is recommended to evaluate the validity of
the specified values by measuring performance in an operation
status under the average system load requirements.
C141-E078-02EN 5 - 13
a. Read caching parameters
• RCD: Disabling Read-Ahead caching operations 0 (enabled)
• WCE: Write Cache Enable 0 (disabled)
• MS: Spec ifying the multip lie rs of "minimum prefetch"
and "maximum prefetch" parameters
• DISC: Prefetch operation after track switching during
prefetching
• Number of blocks for which pr efetch i s suppressed X'FFFF'
• Minimum prefetch X'0000'
• Maximum p refetch X'0XXX'
• Number of blocks with maxi mum pr efetch restri ct i ons X' FFFF'
• Number of segments X'4'
1. When Read-Ahead caching ope rations are disable d by the
caching parameter, these parameter settings have no meaning
except write cache feature.
Parameter Default value
0 (Specifying
absolute value)
0 (inhibit)
(1 cache segment)
IMPORTANT
2. Determine the parameters in consideration of how the system
accesses the disk. When the access form is not determined
uniquely because of the processing method, the parameters can
be re-set actively.
3. For sequential access, the effective access rate can be increased
by enabling Read-Ahead caching operations and Write Cache

5.5 Dismounting Drive
Sin ce the met hod an d pr ocedur e for dismoun ti n g th e dis k dr ive for r epl acemen t of th e dr ive, etc.
depen ds on the l ocker stru cture of the s ystem, etc., th e work procedure m ust be determ ined i n
consideration of the requirements specific to the system. This section describes the general
procedure and notes on dismounting th e dr i ve.
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 an unexpected error.
• 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 f or 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).
CAUTION
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
mechanism, etc. of the system.
• When storing or transporting the drive, put it in an antistatic bag.
(Shown in Section 5.1).

CHAPTER 6 DIAGNOSTICS AND MAINTENANCE
6.1 Diagnostics
6.2 M ai ntenance Information
This chapter describes diagnostics and maintenance information.
6.1 Diagnostics
6.1.1 Self-diagnostics
The IDD has the following self-diagnostic function. This function checks the basic operations of
the IDD.
• Initial self-diagnostics
• Onl i ne self-diag nostics (SEND DIAGNOST I C command)
Table 6.1 lists the contents of the tests performed with the self-diagnostics. For a general check
of the IDD including the operations of the host system and interface, use a test program that runs
on the host system (see Subsection 6.1.2).
Table 6.1 Self-diagnostic functions
C141-E078-02EN 6 - 1
Brief test contents of self-diagnostics are as follows.
a. Hardware function test
This test checks the basic operation of the controller section, and contains following test.
• RAM (microcode is stored)
• Peripheral circuits of microprocessor (MPU)
• Memory (RAM)
• Data buffer
b. Seek test
This test checks the positioning operation of the disk drive using several seek modes (2 points
seek, 1 position sequential seek, etc.). The positioning operation is checked with confirming
the physical address information by reading the ID field from the data block on track 0 after
completion of the seek operation to the target cylinder.
c. Write/read test
This test check the write/read function by using the Internal test space of the disk drive.
(1) Initial self-diagnostics
When power is turned on, the IDD starts initial self-diagnostics. The initial self-diagnostics
checks the basic operations of the hardware functions.
If an error is detected in initial self-diagnosis, the Fault LED lights up. In this status, the IDD
reports the CHECK CONDITION status to all input/output operation requests other than the
REQUEST SENSE command. When the CHECK CONDITION status is posted, the INIT should
issue the REQUEST SENSE command. The sense data obtained with th e REQUEST SENSE
command details the error information detected with the initial self-diagnostics.
Even if CHECK CONDITION status and sense data are posted, the LED continues blinking.
Only when the SCSI bus is reset, the BUS DEVICE RESET message is issued, or the power is
turned off or re-turned on, this status can be cleared. When this status is cleared, the IDD
executes the initial self-diagnosis again.
C141-E078-02EN6 - 2
The IDD does not reply to the loop for up to 2 seconds after th e initial self-diagnostics is started.
After t hat, t he IDD can accept th e I/O operation request correctly, but the received command,
except the executable commands under the not ready state (such as INQUIRY, START/STOP
UNIT), is ter min ated wit h th e CHECK CONDITI ON status (NOT READY [=2]/l ogical un it not
ready [=04-00]) durin g the interval from the spindle motor becomes stable to the IDD becomes
ready. The executable command under the not ready state is executed in parallel with the initial
self-diagnostics, or is queued by the command queuing feature and is executed after completion
of the initial self-diagnostics. When the command that comes under the exception condition of
the command queuing is issued at that time, the IDD posts the BUSY status for the command.
When the error is detected during the in itial self-diagnostics, the CHECK CONDITION status is
posted for all commands that were stacked during the initial self-diagnostics. For the command
execution condition, refer to Section 2.4 and Subsection 2.7.4 in Fibre Channel Interface
Specifications.
(2) Onlin e self-diagnostics (SEND DIAGNOSTIC command)
The INIT can make the IDD execute self-diagnostics by issuing the SEND DIAGNOSTIC
command.
The INIT specifies the execution of self-diagnostics by setting 1 for the SelfTest bit on the CDB in the
SEND DIAGNOSTIC command and specifies the test contents with the UnitOfl bit.
When the UnitOfl bit on the CDB is set to 0, the IDD executes the hardware function test only
once. When UnitOfl bit is set to 1, the IDD executes the hardware function test, seek
(positioning) test, and data write/read test for the CE space only once.
a. Er r or recovery during self-diagnostics
During the self-diagnostics specified by the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command, when the
recoverable error is detected during the seek or the wr ite/read test, the I DD p erform s th e error
recovery according to the MODE SELECT parameter value (read/write error recovery
parameter, additional error recovery parameter) which the INIT specifies at the time of
issuin g t he SEND DIAGNOSTIC command.
PER Operation of self-diagnostics
0 The self-diagnostics continues when the error is recovered. The self-
diagnostics terminates normally so far as the unrecoverable error is not
detected.
1 The self-diagnostics continues when the error is recovered. If the
unrecoverable error is not detected, the consecutive tests are executed till last
test but the self-diagnostics terminates with error. The error information
indicates that of the last recovered error.
b. Reporting result of self-diagnostics and error indication
When all specified self-diagnostics terminate normally, the IDD posts the GOOD status for
the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command.
C141-E078-02EN 6 - 3
When an error is detected in the self-diagnostics, the IDD terminates the SEND
DIAGNOSTIC command with the CHECK CONDITION status. If an error is detected by a
hardware function test at this time, the Fault LED lights up.
The INIT should issue the REQUEST SENSE command when the CHECK CONDITION
status is posted. The sense data collected by the REQUEST SENSE command indicates the
detail information of the error detected in the self-diagnostics.
The IDD status after the CHECK CONDITION status is posted differs according to the type
of the detected error.
a) When an error is detected in the seek or write/read test, the subsequent command can be
accepted correctly. When the command other than the REQUEST SENSE and NO
OPERATION is issued from the same INIT, the error information (sense data) is
cleared.
b) When an error is detected in the hardware function test, the IDD posts the CHECK
CONDITION status for all I/O operation request except the REQUEST SENSE
command. The error status is not cleared and the Fault LED continues lighting up even
if the error information (sense data) is read. Only when the SCSI bus is reset, the BUS
DEVICE RESET message is issued or the power is turned off or re-turned on, the status
can be cleared. When this status is cleared, the IDD executes the initial self-diagnostics
again (see item (1)).
Refer to Chapter 4 of Fibre Channel Interface Specifications for further details of the
command specifications.
6.1.2 Test programs
The basic operations of the IDD itself can be checked with the self-diagnostic function. However,
to check general operations such as the host system and interface operations in a status similar to
the normal operation status, a test program that runs on the host system must be used.
The structure and functions of the test program depend on the user system requirements.
Generally, it is recommended to provide a general input/output test program that includes devices
connected to the loop and input/output devices on other I/ O ports.
Including the following test items in the test program is recommended to test the IDD functions
generally.
CAUTION
Data loss
When the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command terminates with the
CHECK CONDITION status, the INIT must collect the error
information using the REQUEST SENSE command. The RE CEIVE
DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS command cannot read out t h e e rror
information detected in the self-diagnostics.
C141-E078-02EN6 - 4
(1) Interface test
The operations of the loop and data buffer on the IDD are checked with the WRITE BUFFER and
READ BUFFER commands.
(2) Basic operation test
The basic operations of the IDD are checked by executing self-diagnosis with the SEND
DIAGNOSTIC command (see Subsection 6.1.1).
(3) Random/sequential read test
The positioning (seek) operation and read operation are tested in random access and sequential
access modes with the READ, READ EXTENDED, or VERIFY command.
(4) Write/read test
By using a data block in the internal test space, the write/read test can be executed with an
arbitrary pattern for a disk drive in which user data is stored.
6.2 Maintenance Information
6.2.1 Maintenance requirements
(1) Preventive maintenance

Glossary
Bus condition: Asynchronous condition for causing SCSI bus status transition. Th ere are
two types of bus conditions, ATTENTION and RESET.
Bus phase: An SCSI bus state. The SCSI bus is in one of the following phases: BUS
FREE, ARBITRATION, SELECTION, RESELECTION, or
INFORMATION TRANSFER. The INFORMATION TRANSFER ph ase
is divided into DATA IN, DATA OUT, COMMAND, STATUS,
MESSAGE IN, and MESSAGE OUT phases depending on the type of
information being transferred.
CCS: Common Command Set. The standard SCSI logical specification
stipulated by a working committee of ANSI. Functions necessary for
dir ect access d evi ces are d efi ned.
CDB: Command Descriptor Block. A group of data that describes the command
for I/O and is transferred from an initiator to a target.
Command: Issued to a target to direct an input/output operation and written as CDB.
Disconnect: Operation performed by the target to free itself from the SCSI bus and the
initiator temporarily when SCSI bus operation becomes unnecessary
during command processing.
Initiator: SCSI device that has initiated an input/output operation on the SCSI
device. This is abbreviated as INIT.
Logical unit: Simple unit of equipment that can be directed to perform one I/O
operation on the SCSI bus.
LUN: Logical unit number used to identify a logical unit.
Message: Information that controls a series of bus phases and I/O sequence between
the initiator and the target on the SCSI bus.
Reconnect: Operation performed by the target to reconnect itself with the initiator
when operation on the SCSI bus becomes necessary after disconnection.
SCSI: Small computer system interface. An input/output interface standardized
by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). [Standard
number: ANSI X3.131-1986]
SCSI device: General term for a device (Input/output device, I/O controller, and host
adap ter, etc.) connected to an SCSI bus .
SCSI ID: Physical device address used to iden tify an SCSI d evice on the SCSI bus.
This nu mber is s p ecific to each SCSI d evi ce. SCS I IDs are # 0 to # 7 , each
referenced by a unique bit on the data bus.
Sense code: One byte of code added to the sense data to identify the type of detected
error.
