Important Alert Items
Important Alert Messages
The important alert messages in this manual are as follows:
A hazardous situation could result in minor or moderate personal injury if the
user does not perform the procedure correctly. This alert signal also indicates
that damages to the product or other property may occur if the user does not
perform the procedure correctly.
Task Alert message Page
Mounting Installation Data loss
The drive adopts Reed-Solomon code for ECC.
The sector-data is divided into 3 interleaving sectors, and ECC is
performed in each sector where the maximum number of errors
(up to 9 byte) can be corrected. [Total maximum byte: 9 byte
( interleave) = 27 byte]
If the error of read sector keeps allowable error byte number,
correction is performed.
However, if error byte exceeds its allowable number, correction
may not be performed properly.
Damage
Seals on the DE prevent the DE inside from the particle. Do not
damage or peel off labels.
Hot temperature
To prevent injury, do not handle the drive until after the device has
cooled sufficiently after turning off the power. The DE and LSI
become hot during operation and remain hot immediately after
turning off the power.
Data loss
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: Pin pair 9/10 of the CN2 setting terminal
3. To short the setting terminal, use the short plug attached when
the device is shipped from the factory.
Damage
1. Make sure that system power is off before connecting or
disconnecting cables.
2. Do not connect or disconnect cables when power is on.(except
NC model)
(NP model only)

Mounting Installation
Damage
Damage
1. Be careful of the insertion orientation of the SCSI connectors.
With the system in which terminating resistor power is sup plied
via the SCSI cable, if the power is turned on, the overcurrent
protection fuse of the terminating resistor power supplier may
be blown or the cable may be burnt if overcurrent protection is
not provided.
When the recommended parts listed in Table 4.2 are used,
inserting the cables in the wrong direction can be prevented.
2. To connect SCSI devices, be careful of the connection position
of the cable. Check that the SCSI device with the terminating
resistor is the last device connected to the cable.
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 RECEIVE
DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS command cannot read out the error
information detected in the self-diagnostics.
Caution
1. To avoid shocks, turn off the power before connecting or
disconnecting a cable, connector, or plug.
2. To avoid injury, do not touch the mechanical assembly during
disk drive operation.
3. Do not use solvents to clean the disk drive.
Caution
1. Always ground yourself with a wrist strap connected to ground
before handling. ESD (Electrostatics Discharge) may cause
the damage to the device.
2. To prevent electrical damage to the disk drive, turn the power
off before connecting or disconnecting a cable, connector, or
plug.
3. Do not remove a PCA. This operation is required to prevent
unexpected or unpredictable operation.
4. Do not use a conductive cleaner to clean a disk drive assembly.
5. Ribbon cables are marked with a colored line. Connect the
ribbon cable to a cable connector with the colored wire
connected to pin 1.
Never open the disk enclosure in the field. Opening the disk
enclosure may cause an irreparable fault.
Data loss
Save data stored on the disk drive before requesting repair. Fujitsu
does not assume responsibility if data is destroyed during servicing
or repair.

CHAPTER 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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).
The IDDs are high performance large capacity 3.5 type fixed disk drives with an embedded SCSI controller.
The IDDs support the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) as described in the ANSI SCSI SPI-4
[T10/1365D Rev.10] to the extent described in this manual.
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.
The data format can be changed from the format at factory shipment by reinitializing with the user's system.
Refer to Chapter 6 “Disk Media Management” in the SCSI Logical Interface Specifications for details.
C141-E205 1-1
1.1 Standard Features
(1) Compactness
Since the SCSI controller circuit is embedded in the standard 3.5 type 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 standard
The IDD provides not only SCSI basic functions but also the following features:
• Arbitration
• Disconnection/Reconnection
• Data bus parity
The SCSI commands can manipula te data through logical block ad dressing regard l ess 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. 8-bit data bus is available only with NP model.
See subsection 5.3.2 for details of the bus width setting.
For the ultra SCSI model, number of connectable SCSI devices on the same SCSI bus is varied as
follows.
• 8-bit SCSI: 8 drives max. (option for NP model)
• 16-bit SCSI: 16 drives max.
(4) High speed data transfer
Such a high data transfer rate on the SCSI bus can be useful with the large capacity buffer in the
IDD.
• 8-bit SCSI: The data transfer rate on the SCSI bus is 40 MB/s maximum at the
synchronous mode.
• 16-bit SCSI: The data transfer rate on the SCSI bus is 320 MB/s maximum at the paced
transfer synchronous mode.
1-2 C141-E205
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 blo ck 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] block s in a com m an d can be ach ieved, 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 buffe r is 8M bytes. Data is transferred between SCSI bus and disk media t hrough this
data buffer. 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) 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 tran sferrin g th e data from the data bu ff er
without reaccessing the disk in case th e subs equent com m and reques ts the pref etched data blocks .
The write cache feature is supported. When this f eature is en abled, the statu s report is is sued w ith out
waiting for completion of w rite processing to disk media, thereby en abling hig h speed write processing.
IMPORTANT
When Write cache is enabled, you should ensure that the cashed
data is surely flushed to the disc media before you turn off the drive's
power.
To ensure it, you should issue either the SYNCHRONIZE CASHE
command or the STOP UNIT command with specifying “0” to the
Immediate bit and then confirm that the command is surely
terminated with the GOOD STATUS.
C141-E205 1-3
(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.
(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 or write 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
be specified at initializing with a multiple of four within the range of 512 to 528 bytes.
IMPORTANT
Error rate increase
1. The drive format at factory shipment is generally 512 byte.
2. The Recoverable Error of the drive might increase when the
format would be modified from 512 bytes to the following values:
516 bytes, 520 bytes, 524 bytes, 528 bytes.
3. The Recoverable Error referred in 2) is sense data (1-13-xx).
(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.
1-4 C141-E205
(15) Large capacity
A large capacity can be obtained from 3.5 type 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 t he 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. 3.5 Bels Ready for the drive. This makes it ideal for office use.
(20) Microcode downloading
The IDD implements the microcode download feature. This feature achieves easy maintainability
of the IDD and function enhancing.

1.2 Hardware Structure
An outer view of the IDD is given in Figures 1.1 and 1.2. The IDD is composed of the disk, head,
spindle motor, mounted disk enclosure (DE) with actuator and air circulation filter, as well as
read/write pre-amp with the printed circuit assembly (PCA) of the controller.

(1) Disks
The disks have an outer diameter of 70 mm (2.8 inch) and an inner diameter of 25 mm (0.98 inch).
The disks are good for at least 50,000 contact starts and stops.
(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.
(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 of the specified
speed.
(4) Actuator
The actuator, which uses a rotary voice coil motor (VCM), consumes little power and generates
little heat. The heads at the end of the actuator arm is controlled and positioned via feedback of
servo information in the data.
The heads are positioned on the CCS zone over the disks when the power is off or the spindle
motor is stopped.
(5) Air circulation (recirculation filter, breather filter)
The disk enclosure (DE) configures a clean room to keep out particle and other contaminants. 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 particle floating inside the e nc losure
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 MEEPR4ML (Modified Enhanced 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.

1.3 System Configuration
Figure 1.4 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.

(#14)
(#15)
Figure 1.3 System configuration
1-8 C141-E205
(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 multi-SCSI
devices.
(2) Addressing of peripheral device
Each SCSI device on the bus has its own unique address (SCSI ID:#n in Figure 1.4). 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 (option for NP model, switch selectable)
16-bit SCSI:Selectable from 0 to 15 (switch selectable)
• LUN: 0 (fixed)
