being read later.
Device damage: Do not connect or disconnect any cable except
the USB I/F cable while the drive power is on.
Device damage: Before demounting the optical disk drive, turn
off the system power. While the power is on, do not remove screws
securing the cables and drive.
Device Damage: Be sure to use the dedicated head cleaner
shown above.
Disk damage: To clean a disk, use the cleaning solution and
cleaning cloth specified in Table 5.2.
Disk damage: Do not use this cleaning kit on a floppy disk or an
optical disk cartridge to be used on other optical disk drives.
Disk damage: Clean a cartridge in a dust-free environment.
Fujitsu recommends wearing disposable g loves during cleaning so
that no fingerprints are left on a disk.
Disk damage: Do not press hard or apply excessive shock to an
optical disk cartridge case while setting it in the setting case.

This chapter describes the features and configuration of the MCM3064AP and
MCM3130AP optical disk drives.
As successors to the MCE3064AP and MCE3130AP optical disk drives, the
MCM3064AP and MCM3130AP optical disk drives (hereafter called the optical
disk drives) achieve high-speed operation while maintaining compatibility with
the MCE3064AP and MCE3130AP.
The flexibility and expandability realized through ATAPI interfaces as well as the
high performance and command sets of the optical disk drives allow the user to
construct disk subsystems featuring advanced functions, high performance, largescale storage and high reliability.
1.1 Features
This section describes the features of the optical disk drives in terms of
performance, reliability, maintainability/operability, adaptability, and interface.
1.1.1 Performance and Functions
(1) Half-height standard 90mm(3.5-inch) size (25.4 mm height)
The optical disk drives can be directly connected to the system EIDE bus. The
drive employs the same form factor as t hat for the 90mm(3.5-inch) 25.4-mm
height hard disk drive.
(2) High-speed data transfer
The MCM3130AP rotates a disk at 3,637 revolutions per minute when a 1.3 GB
disk is used. When other media are used, the speed is 5,455 revolutions per
minute.
The MCM3064AP rotates a disk at 5,455 revolutions per minute.
In the disk drive, the MCM3130AP realizes high-speed data transfers at rates of
3.92 to 6.70 MB/s (1.3 GB) and the MCM3064AP realizes at rates of 3.52 to 5.87
MB/s (640 MB). The data transfer rates on the buses are 16.6 MB/s in PIO mode
4, 16.6 MB/s in multiword DMA mode 2, and 33.3 MB/s in Ultra-DMA mode 2.
The data transfer capacity can be used effectively through a large capacity data
buffer of t he optical disk drive.
C156-E227-01EN1-1
General Description
(3) High-speed mean seek time
This drive features a linear voice coil motor for high-speed head positioning.
The average seek time per 1,000 random seeks is 23 ms. (However, this does not
include command overhead or address check.)
(4) Compatibility with international standards (media interchangeability)
The MCM3130AP optical disk drive supports the use of 90mm(3.5-inch) optical
disks in the 1.3 GB format as well as in the 128-MB, 230-MB, 540-MB and 640MB formats compatible with ISO standards.
The MCM3064AP optical disk drive supports the use of optical disks in the 128MB, 230-MB, 540-MB and 640-MB formats compatible with ISO standards.
(5) Direct-overwrite media support
The optical disk drive supports the use of optic modulation direct-overwrite (not
requiring an erase operation) 230-MB, 540-MB and 640-MB disks compatible
with ISO standards.
(6) Dust resistance
With this optical disk drive, the need for a cooling fan has been eliminated owing
to its low power consumption. The optical disk drive also has a simple sealed
structure. The device is sealed with a metal plate. The drive conforms to class 5
million or less particle level. (Class 5 million: This means there are 5 million
dust particles of 0.5 mm diameter or larger per cubic foot. This is equivalent to
0.15 mg/m3.)
(7) Lower power consumption
The power consumption of the MCM3130AP and MCM3064AP optical disk
drive is 5.8 W, eliminating the need for a cooling fan. (These power consumption
values are typical values during read and write operation.)
The minimum power consumption in the power save modes are 1.8 W.
(8) Automatic spindle stop function
If the optical disk drive is not accessed for a certain duration, it stops disk rotation
to minimize dust accumulation on the disk. This duration can be specified using
the MODE SELECT command.
1-2C156-E227-01EN
1.1.2 Reliability
(1) Mean time between failures (MTBF)
The mean time between failures (MTBF) for this optical disk drive is 120,000
hours or more.
(2) Enhanced error recovery
If an error occurs on the optical disk drive, the system executes appropriate retry
processing to recover from it. This drive features enhanced Reed-Solomon error
correction code (ECC) to assure error-free operation.
(3) Automatic allocation of alternate data blocks
This drive features a function which automatically allocates alternate data blocks
in cases where defective data blocks are detected while data is being written to an
optical disk.
1.1 Features
1.1.3 Maintainability/operability
(1) Diagnostics function
This drive has a diagnostics function for checking optical disk drive operations.
The diagnostics function facilitates test and restoration.
(2) Five-year service life (no overhaul)
This drive will not require overhaul within the first five years of installation if
appropriately maintained (both disks and optical parts cleaned using cleaning
tools) and handled as recommended.
1.1.4 Adaptability
(1) Wide-ranging operating environments
This drive, requiring low power consumption because of LSIs adopted, can be
used in wide-ranging environments (5 to 45°C for drive's ambient environment
and a general office environment). The ambient cleanliness must be class 5
million or less particle level.
(2) Low noise
This drive operates quietly at 30 dB or less (A-character) during seek operations
and will not degrade the office environment (except when an optical disk is
ejected).
C156-E227-01EN1-3
General Description
(3) Safety standards
The optical disk drive is certified under the following standards:
•
UL1950 (U.S. safety standard)
•
CDRH (U.S. laser standard) (Class 1)
•
CSA C22.2 No. 950 (Canada safety standard)
•
EN60950 (European safety standard)
•
EN60825-1 (European laser standard) (Class 1)
(4) Radio wave standards
This optical disk device, while installed, is certified under the following
standards:
− EN55022 class B, EN55024 (European EMC standard)
− AS/NZS3548 class B (Australian EMC standard)
− CNS13438 class B (Taiwanese EMC standard)
1.1.5 Interface
(1) Conformation to ATA/ATAPI-5
The optical disk drives conform to the basic specifications of ATA/ATAPI-5.
ATAPI commands specify data with logical block addresses, thus allowing data to
be manipulated independent of the physical characteristics of the optical disk
derives. This facilitates easy development of software whose functions can be
flexibly expanded in the future.
In the optical disk drives, PIO mode 4, multiword DMA mode 2, and Ultra-DMA
mode 2 are supported.
(2) Continuous block processing
Logical block addresses are used for data block addressing. Irrespective of the
physical attributes of track boundaries, you can have the initiator access data by
specifying a block number in logically continuous data space.
(3) High-capacity data buffer
This drive has a 1,844-KB data buffer. This data buffer is used to transfer data
between the EIDE bus and a disk. Since data is stored in this buffer, the host can
execute input-output processing effectively by using the data transfer capability of
the EIDE bus irrespective of the effective data transfer rate of the optical disk
drive.
1-4C156-E227-01EN
(4) Read-ahead cache feature
The read-ahead cache feature enables high-speed sequential data access as
follows:
After executing a command to read data from the disk, the drive automatically
reads the next data block and stores it in the data buffer (pre-reading). If the next
command requests this data, the drive can transfer data from the buffer without
accessing the disk again.
(5) Write cache feature
When the host system issues the write command to the optical disk drive, this
drive would report completion of the command after completion of the write and
verify operations if the write cache feature were not used. If the write cache
feature is used, this drive reports completion of the command when data transfer
to buffer is completed, without waiting for completion of the write and verify
operations. This drive performs the write and verify operations asynchronously
with the interface operation. Therefore, enabling the write cache reduces the
apparent write command processing time recognized by the host system and
improves the I/O performance of the host system.
1.1 Features
Enable or disable the write cache feature using the MODE SELECT command.
While the write cache feature is enabled, a write error is reported in
the completion status of another command that is subsequent to the
concerned write command. Note that, if the host performs only
retry of an error-reporting command, data in the block in which the
error has occurred is not correctly written.
(6) Defective block slipping
While initializing a disk, the optical disk drive slips defective data blocks to
reallocate logical data blocks so they are physically continuous. This enables
high-speed continuous data block processing without rotational delay due to
defective data blocks.

1-6C156-E227-01EN
1.2.2 Configuration
Figure 1.3 shows the configuration of the optical disk drive.
The optical disk drive consists of a mechanical section, a fixed optics section, a
control circuit section, and an actuator.
The mechanical section includes the spindle motor, actuator section, bias magnet,
and cartridge holder vertical motion mechanism.
The fixed optics section consists of the optical components, position detector, and
LD controller.
The control circuit section includes the drive control circuit section and I/F circuit
section.

1.2.3 Mechanical section
(1) Loading and ejecting an optical disk cartridge
Control circuit section
Fixed optics section
The optical disk drive includes a cartridge load mechanism and an auto eject
mechanism. If an optical disk cartridge is manually inserted in the drive's slot as
far as it will go, the cartridge load mechanism automatically lowers the cartridge
and mounts it on the spindle motor. If the Eject button on the front panel is
pressed, the auto eject mechanism automatically ejects the cartridge.
(2) Spindle motor
An optical disk cartridge hub and the spindle motor shaft are magnetically
combined. Therefore, a disk rotates as fast as the spindle motor shaft rotates. The
spindle motor, a DC brushless motor, provides high-speed rotation at 5,455 rpm
and 3,637 rpm and high-accuracy rotation at ± 0.1%.
C156-E227-01EN1-7
General Description
(3) Actuator section
The actuator section consists of a focus actuator and a tracking actuator. The
former focuses a laser beam on the surface of an optical disk while the latter
moves the beam spot along the radius, on the surface of an optical disk (seek
operation).
The actuator section is directly driven by a linear voice coil motor. The tracking
actuator is based on the pulse-width modulation (PWM) system and realizes low
power consumption and high-speed access.
(4) Separate optical sections
The optical head section has a split structure in which the fixed optics section is
separated from the moving optics section to minimize seek time and positioning
error. This reduces the weight of the moving parts.
The fixed optics section consists of the laser diodes, collimator lens, separation
prism, condensing lens, and the optical detector.
A laser diode for recording and playback transmits one laser beam to the actuator
section.
(5) Panel
The central part of the panel is hollowed out to provide enough space to enable
the cartridge to be inserted by pushing it with a finger, thereby facilitating
insertion.
The panel is also simply designed using an eject button that also serves as LED
light emitting part.
1.2.4 Control circuit section
Figure 1.4 is a block diagram of the control circuit section and the peripheral
sections.
