Damage
Never remove any labels from the drive or deface them in any way.
High 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.
Damage
1. When dismounting the drive which is mounted on the
system while power is supplied to it.
• 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. Just in case, stop dismounting once
when SAS connector breaks off contact and wait until the spindle
motor stops (about 30 seconds.).

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 HDDs are high performance large capacity 3.5" fixed disk drives with an embedded Serial Attached SCSI
(SAS) controller.
The interface used to connect the HDDs to the host system complies with ANSI T10/1601-D Serial Attached
SCSI-1.1 (SAS-1.1), which covers items ranging from SAS physical layers to SCSI command protocols.
The high-speed data transfer and long-distance transmission capabilities of SAS technology and the powerful
command set the HDD facilitate creation of high-performance and highly reliable disk subsystems with large
storage capacities.
1.1 Standard Features
(1) Compactness
The HDDs are a compact enclosure which complies with the 3.5" d isk drive form factor.
(2) Restriction of Use of Hazardous Substances
The amounts of hazardous substances in u s e in th ese HDDs hav e been redu ced in accordan ce with the
Restriction of Use of Hazardous Su bs tan ces (RoHS) Directiv e recen tly 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 (ELV)
Directive or by the national environmental laws of the EU member nations.
C141-E237 1-1
General Description
(3) SAS Standard
The HDDs are equipped with a serial attached SCSI (SAS) as a ho st interface.
• Transfer rate: 1.5Gbps, 3.0Gbps
• Number of SAS ports: Two
• Full-duplex (simultaneous bidirectional data transfer) is supported.
SCSI commands can manipulate data through logical block addressing, regardless of the physical
characteristics of the disk drive. This enables software to accommodate expansion of system
functionality.
(4) Dual SAS port support
The HDDs have two pairs of driver and receiver set (PHY) for the SAS to support dual SAS port
connection.
On MAX3147RC, MAX3073RC, and MAX3036RC, Primary and Secondary Ports on SAS plug
connector (2 physical links plus power connections) are used for SAS port connection.
(5) High-speed data transfer
The maximum data-transfer speed on the SAS is 300.0 MB/s. The large-capacity data buffer of the
HDDs enable the effective use of such high-speed da ta transfers available on the SAS connection.
(6) Continuous block proce ssing
The addressing method of data blocks is logical block address. The initiator (INIT) 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 HDDs can
perform continu ous read/ w rite operat ion when processing data blocks on seve ral tracks or cy lin der.
(7) Multi-segment data buffer
The data buffe r is 16M bytes. Data are transferred between SAS port and disk media through this
data buffer. This feature provides the suitable usage environment for users.
(8) Cache feature
After executing the READ co mmand, the HDDs read automatically and store (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 w ithou t
reaccessing the disk in cas e the su bsequen t com m and reques ts the pref etched data block s.
The Write Cache feature is supported. When this feature is enabled, the status report is issued
without waiting for completion of write processing to disk media, thereby enabling high speed write
processing.
1-2 C141-E237
1.1 Standard Features
When Write Cache is enabled, you should ensure that the cached 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 CACHE
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 HDDs 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 HDDs can be accessed exclusively in the multi-host or multi-INIT environment by using the
reserve and release functions.
(11) Error recovery
The HDDs can try to recover from errors in the disk drive using its po werful retry processing. If a
recoverable data check occurs, error-free data can be transferred to the INIT after being corrected in
the data buffer. The INIT software is released from the comp licated error recover processing by
these error recovery functions of the HDDs.
(12) Automatic alternate block reassignment
If a defective data block is detected during read or write the HDDs can automatically reassign their
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.
Error rate increase
1. The drive format at factory shipment is generally 512 bytes.
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 here is sense data (1-13-xx).
C141-E237 1-3
General Description
(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 HDDs 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 SAS primitive or the SCSI command, the host system can start and stop the spindle motor.
(18) Diagnosis
The HDDs have 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 HDDs is very low, and
this enables the units to be used in wide range of environmental conditions.
(20) Low noise and low vibration
The noise level is low; approx. 3.5 Bels at Ready for the drive. This makes it ideal for office use.
(21) Microcode downloading
The HDDs implement the microcode download feature. This feature easily achieves maintenance
and function enhancement of the HDDs.
1-4 C141-E237
1.2 Hardware Structure
1.2 Hardware Structure
The HDDs have a disk enclosure (DE) and a printed circuit assembly (PCA). The DE includ es 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.
(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 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 servo loop.
The heads are positioned on the CCS zone over the disks when the power is off or the spindle motor
is stopped.
(5) 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.
(6) 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 SAS controller.
C141-E237 1-5
General Description
1.3 System Configuration
For the Serial Attached SCSI, the ANSI standard defines Point-to-Point technology. Figure 1.1 and
Figure 1.2 give examples of the SAS system configuration.
Figure 1.1 Example of SAS system configuration (Dual port internal cabled environment)
Figure 1.2 Example of SAS system configuration (Dual port internal backplane environment)
(1) Port addressing
Every device connected with the SAS protocol has a unique address (SAS address). SAS addresses
are in the Name Address Authority (NAA) IEEE Registered format defined by SCSI Primary
Command-3 (SPC-3).
An SAS address consists of 8 bytes as a unique value set for each device.
The INIT can implement an I/O operation on a disk drive by using the corresponding SAS address
stored by the HDDs.

2.1.5 Reliability
(1) Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
MTBF of the HDDs during their life time is 1,400,000 hours (operating: 24 hours/day, 7 days/week
average DE surface temperature: 50°C or less).
Note:
The MTBF is defined as:
Operating time (hours) at all field sites
MTBF =
The number of equipment failures from all field sites
Failure of the equipment means failure that requires repair, adjustments, or replacement.
Mishandling by the operator, failures due to bad environmental conditions, power trouble, host
system trouble, cable failures, or other failures not caused by the equipment are not considered.

Specifications
(2) Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)
MTTR is the average time taken by a well-trained service mechanic to diagnose and repair a drive
malfunction. The drive is designed for a MTTR of 30 minutes or less.
(3) Service life
The service life under suitable conditions and treatment is as follows.
The service life is depending on the environment temperature. Therefore, the user must design the
system cabinet so that the average DE surface temperature is as low as possible.
• DE surface temperature: 40°C or less 5 years
• DE surface temperature: 41°C to 45°C 4.5 years
• DE surface temperature: 46°C to 50°C 4 years
• DE surface temperature: 51°C to 55°C 3.5 years
• DE surface temperature: 56°C to 60°C 3 years
• DE surface temperature: Exceeding 60°C Without warranty
(Keep the DE surface temperature 60
Even if the HDDs are used intermittently, the longest service life is 5 years.
°C or less.)
Note:
The "average DE surface temperature" means the average temperature at the DE surface
throughout the year when the HDDs are operating.
(4) Data security at power failure
Integrity of the data on the disk is guaranteed against all forms of DC power failure except on blocks
where a write operation is being performed. The above does not applied to formatting disks or
assigning alternate blocks.

CHAPTER 3 Data Format
3.1 Data Space
3.2 Logical Data Block Addressing
3.3 Defect Management
This chapter explains data space definition, logical data block addressing, and defect management on the
HDDs.
3.1 Data Space
The HDDs manage the entire data storage area divided into the following three data spaces.
• User space: Storage area for user data
• Internal test space: Reserved area for diagnostic purposes
• System space: Area for exclusive use of HDDs themselves
The user space allows a user access by specifying data. These spaces 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-d iagnostics test, but user can’t use direct access. The system space is accessed
inside the HDDs at power-on or during the execution of a specific command, but the user cannot
directly access the system space.
3.1.1 Cylinder configuration
The HDDs allocate 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 cell and the last cylinder (alternate cylinders) in one zone are allocated as
alternate areas according to the user's assignment (MODE SELECT command). See Subsection 3.1.2
for details.
