Specification 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.
Installation Damage
Never remove any labels from the drive or deface them in any way.
Hot temperature
To prevent injury, never touch the drive while it is hot. 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.

Installation Damage
1. Be careful of the insertion orientation of the SCSI connectors. With the
system in which terminating resistor power is supplied 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.
Diagnostics and
Maintenance
Damage
Data loss
When the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command terminates with the CHECK
CONDITION status, the initiator must collect the error information using the
REQUEST SENSE command. The RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
command cannot read out the error information detected in the selfdiagnostics.
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.
1. Never remove any labels from the drive.

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 hard disk drives (HDDs).
The drives are high performance large capacity 3.5 inch hard disk drives with an embedded SCSI controller.
The drives 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 HDD, 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” of the SCSI Logical Interface Specifications for details.
C141-E226 1-1
1.1 Standard Features
(1) Compactness
Since the SCSI controller circuit is embedded in the standard 3.5 inch hard disk drive form factor,
the HDD is extremely compact. The HDD can be connected directly to the SCSI bus of the host
system.
(2) Restriction of Use of Hazardous Substances
The amounts of hazardous substances in use in these HDDs have been reduced in accordance with
the Restriction of Use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive recently issued by European
Union (EU).
Note:
At present, the permissible limits on the use of certain materials specified by the RoHS
directive have not been determined. In such cases, we are using the original criteria set by
Fujitsu Limited while referring to the restrictions already established by End-of-Life Vehicle
(ELV) Directive or by the national environmental laws of the EU member nations.
(3) SCSI standard
The HDD 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 addressing regardless of the
physical characteristics of the disk drive. This allows software to accommodate future expansion
of system functions.
(4) 8-bit SCSI/16-bit SCSI
The HDD 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.
1-2 C141-E226
(5) High speed data transfer
Such a high data transfer rate on the SCSI bus can be useful with the large capacity buffer in the
HDD.
• 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.
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.
(6) Continuous block proce ssi ng
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 the HDD can
perform continu ous read/ w rite operat ion when processin g data bl ocks on sev eral track s or cy li nder.
(7) Multi-segment data buffer
The data buffe r is 8M bytes. Data i s 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.
(8) Cache feature
After executing the READ command, the HDD reads automatically and stores (prefaces) 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 reassessi ng th e disk in case the s ubsequ ent com m an d requests th e perfected data block s.
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.
C141-E226 1-3
IMPORTANT
When Write cache is enabled, you should ensure that the cashed data is
surely flushed to the disk media befo re 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.
(9) Command queuing fe ature
The HDD can queue maximum 128 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 HDD can be accessed exclusively in the multi-host or multi-initiator environment by using the
reserve and release functions.
(11) Error recovery
The HDD 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 HDD.
(12) Automatic alternate block reassignment
If a defective data block is detected during read or write the HDD can automatically reassign its
alternate data block.
(13) 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, and 528 bytes.
3. The Recoverable Error referred in 2) is sense data (1-13-xx).
1-4 C141-E226
(14) 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.
(15) High speed positioning
A rotary voice coil motor achieves fast positioning with high performance access control.
(16) Large capacity
A large capacity can be obtained from the HDD 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.
(17) Start/Stop of spindle motor
Using the SCSI command, the host system can start and stop the spindle motor.
(18) Diagnosis
The HDD has a diagnostic capability which checks internal controller functions and drive
operations to facilitate testing and repair.
(19) Low power consumption
By using highly integrated LSI components, the power consumption of the HDD is very low, and
this enables the unit to be used in wide range of environmental conditions.
(20) Low noise and low vibration
The noise level is low; approx. 3.4 Bels at Ready for the drive. This makes it ideal for office use.
(21) Microcode downloading
The HDD implements the microcode download feature. This feature easily achieves maintenance
and function enhancement of the HDD.
C141-E226 1-5
1.2 Hardware Structure
An outer view of the HDD is given in Figures 1.1 and 1.2. The HDD has a disk enclosure (DE)
and a printed circuit assembly (PCA). The DE includes heads on an actuator and disks on a
spindle motor mounted on the DE. The PCA includes a read/write circuit and a controller circuit.
Figure 1.1 NC model drives outer view
Figure 1.2 NP model drives outer view
1-6 C141-E226
(1) Disks
The disks have an outer diameter of 84 mm (3.3 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 spindle 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 are 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 l osure
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.
C141-E226 1-7
1.3 System Configuration
Figure 1.3 shows the system configuration. The drives are connected to the SCSI bus of host
systems and are always operated as target. The drives perform input/output operation as specified
by SCSI devices which operate as initiator.

(#15)
Figure 1.3 System configuration
1-8 C141-E226
(1) SCSI bus confi guration
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 i nput/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 1.3). 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 HDD 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)
