Conventions for Alert Messages
This manual uses the following conventions to show the alert messages. An alert message
consists of an alert signal and alert statements. The alert signal consists of an alert symbol
and a signal word or just a signal word.
The following are the alert signals and their meanings:
This indicates a hazardous situation likely to result in
serious personal injury if the user does not perform the
procedure correctly.
This indicates a hazardous situation could result in serious personal injury if the user does not perform the procedure
correctly.
This indicates 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 product correctly.
This indicates information that could help the user use the
product more efficiently.
Attention
In the text, the alert signal is centered, followed below by the indented message. A wider
line space precedes and follows the alert message to show where the alert message begins
and ends. The following is an example:
(Example)
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 errorreporting command, data in the block in which the error has occurred is not
correctly written.
The main alert messages in the text are also listed in the “Important Alert Items.”

Installation
Before moving the drive, remove the optical disk cartridge. If the drive is
moved with the optical disk cartridge loaded in it, the head may move
back and forth in the drive to damage the head or disk and reading the
data may fail
1) The user must not change the settings of terminals not described in
this section. The terminals must remain as set when shipped.
2) Do not change terminal settings when the power is on.
3) To strap setting terminals, use the jumper shipped with the drive.
1) Make sure that the system power is off.
2) Do not connect or disconnect any cable when the power is on.
1) Be careful of the insertion directions of SCSI connectors. For a
system in which the terminating resistor power is supplied via the
SCSI cable, connecting connectors in the wrong direction may cause
the following:
The overcurrent protection fuse of the terminating resistor power
supply (SCSI device) may blow when power is turned on.
The cable may burn if overcurrent protection is not provided.
2) Be careful of cable connector positions when connecting more than
one SCSI device. The SCSI device having the terminating resistor
must be connected to the end of the cable.
3) The cables must be kept away from the rotating part of the spindle

CHAPTER 1 General Description
1.1 Features
1.2 Configuration of Optical Disk Drive
This chapter describes the features and configuration of the MCM3064SS,
MCM3130SS, MCP3064SS and MCP3130SS optical disk drives.
As successors to the MCE3064SS and MCE3130SS optical disk drives, the
MCM3064SS, MCM3130SS, MCP3064SS and MCP3130SS optical disk drives
(hereafter called the optical disk drives) achieve high-speed operation while
maintaining compatibility with the MCE3064SS and MCE3130SS.
The flexibility and expandability realized through SCSI 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 SCSI bus. The
drive employs the same form factor as that for the 90mm(3.5-inch) 25.4-mm
height hard disk drive.
(2) High-speed data transfer
The MCM3130SS and MCP3130SS rotate disks at 3,637 revolutions per minute
when 1.3 GB disks are used. When other media are used, the speed is 5,455
revolutions per minute.
The MCM3064SS and MCP3064SS rotate disks at 5,455 revolutions per minute.
In the disk drive, the MCM3130SS and MCP3130SS realize high-speed data
transfers at rates of 3.92 to 6.70 MB/s (1.3 GB) and the MCM3064SS and
MCP3064SS realize at rates of 3.52 to 5.87 MB/s (640 MB). The maximum
synchronous data transfer speed of the SCSI bus is 20 MB/s.
The data transfer capacity can be used effectively through a large capacity data
buffer of the optical disk drive.
C156-E228-02EN 1-1
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 MCM3130SS and MCP3130SS optical disk drives support the use of
90mm(3.5-inch) optical disks in the 1.3 GB format as well as in the 128-MB, 230MB, 540-MB and 640-MB formats compatible with ISO standards.
The MCM3064SS and MCP3064SS optical disk drives support the use of optical
disks in the 128-MB, 230-MB, 540-MB and 640-MB formats compatible with
ISO standards.
(5) 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.)
(6) Lower power consumption
The power consumption of the MCM3064SS, MCM3130SS, MCP3064SS and
MCP3130SS optical disk drive is 6.1 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 1.2 W.
(7) 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.
1-2 C156-E228-02EN
1.1 Features
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.
1.1.3 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-E228-02EN 1-3
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 SCSI-2
The optical disk drives conform to the basic specifications of SCSI-2.
SCSI 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.
(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 2 MB data buffer. This data buffer is used to transfer data
between the SCSI 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 SCSI bus irrespective of the effective data transfer rate of the optical disk
drive.
1-4 C156-E228-02EN
1.1 Features
(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.
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.

1.2 Configuration of Optical Disk Drive
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.

Figure 1.3 Configuration of optical disk drive
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-E228-02EN 1-7
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.

Figure 1.4 Block diagram of the control circuit section
The control circuit consists of a SCSI controller, which controls operations
between the SCSI interface and the drive interface, and a device circuit section,
which controls the drive circuit.
(1) SCSI controller circuit section
The SCSI controller circuit, which uses an LSI for improved reliability, controls
the drive through SCSI interface control, read-write control, beam control, etc., by
using one high-speed microprocessor (MPU).
(2) Drive circuit section
The drive circuit section consists of the laser diode light emitting control circuit,
signal reproduction circuit, servo/seek control circuit, rotation control circuit, and
other control circuits. In particular, the servo/seek control circuit consists of a
DSP (digital signal processor) for circuit reduction and the realization of a simple
configuration.
The drive circuit section performs the seek, erase, record, and playback operations
while controlling the focus tracking of the beam.

This chapter describes environmental, mou nt ing, powe r supply, and connec tion
requirements.
3.1 Environmental Requirements
The optical disk drive must be installed in an environment complying with the
ambient environmental requirements defined in Section 2.1.3.
3.1.1 Temperature measurement points
While the drive is operating, the ambient temperatures measured 3 cm away from
the surfaces of the optical disk drive must satisfy the ambient environmental
requirements specified in Section 2.1.3. As for the surface temperatures during
operation, the contact temperatures measured at the points shown in Figure 3.1
must satisfy the temperature requirements specified in Section 3.1.2.

1) At the bottom of the cartridge, open a hole large enough for the thermocouple
to be inserted as shown in Figure 3.1.
2) Disassemble the cartridge.
3-2 C156-E228-02EN
3.1 Environmental Requirements
3) Cut off part of the wall surrounding the optical disk (disk outer wall) as
shown in Figure 3.1.
At this point, cut off a section 5 to 10 mm in width from the disk outer wall.
4) Using an adhesive agent, affix the tip of the thermocouple to the opening of
the disk outer wall.
5) Pass the thermocouple through the hole in the cartridge and reassemble the
cartridge.
Using an adhesive agent, etc., fill any gap between the hole and the
thermocouple.
Note: The surface of the cartridge shown in Figure 3.1 has been cut away to
illustrate the elements inside the cartridge. Do not actually cut away the
surface.
If the external environ ment tem per atu re ri ses above the specif ied valu e,
the drive will take protective action to deal with the temperature increase
by automatically placing an interval between commands before
responding to a command.

Installation Requirements
3.1.4 Air flow
It is recommended that this optical disk drive be installed in a fanless cabinet.
However, if the power supply is included in the same cabinet, the “Temperature
Conditions” in 3.1.2 must be met. Furthermore, we recommend that the speed of
air drawing in by the device from the left side of the cartridge loading slot in the
front panel dose not exceed 0.3m/s for MCM3064SS or MCM3130SS, and dose
not exceed 0.1m/s for MCP3064SS or MCP3130SS. If this unit is to be used as a
built-in drive, the system fan (if one is supplied) must meet the same conditions.
3.1.5 Air cleanliness
The air cleanliness in the device environment is expressed by the number of dust
particles per unit area. Fujitsu recommends using the optical disk drive in the
environment of class 5 million or less particle level. (Class 5 million: This means
there are 5 million dust particles of 0.5 µm diameter or larger per cubic foot. This
is equivalent to 0.15 mg/m

3.2.4 Precautions on mounting
(1) Mounting frame structure and clearance
a) For vibration resistance and heat dissipation, mount this optical disk drive
using a frame having an embossed structure shown in Figure 3.6 or a similar
structure providing an equivalent function.
b) A mounting screw must have an inward projection (entry depth) of 3 mm or
less from the outer surface of the mounting frame of the optical disk drive as
shown in Figure 3.6.
c) The upward-downward and left-right clearance between the external surface
of the mounting frame of the optical disk drive and the user's embossstructure frame must be at least 1.5 mm.
d) The floating clearance of the optical disk drive must be 1.5 mm or more.
e) When mounting the optical disk drive, the screw tightening torque must be
0.4 to 0.45Nm (4 to 4.6kgf-cm).
If the screw tightening torque exceeds the prescribed value, the unit fixture
tap may break, leading to degraded device performance.
f) When the optical disk drive (with a panel) is mounted in a cabinet, there
should be no distortion or deformation in the target housing or the mounting
fittings. Furthermore, the optical disk drive's panel must not be deformed.
If the drive is used with the panel deformed, ejection of the cartridge will
be faulty.
Make sure that the door closes from any position after mounting the optical
disk drive.

3.2 Mounting Requirements
(2) Checking the panel function
There must not be any deformation in the panel after the optical disk drive is
installed in a cabinet. Make sure that the door of the disk insertion slot clos es
from any location with the drive installed in the cabinet.
(3) Service areas
Figure 3.7 shows the locations that need to be accessed for installation, and after
installation is carried out.
Figure 3.7 Service areas
(4) External magnetic fields
Mount the optical disk drive away from powerful magnetic materials (e.g., a
speaker) to avoid any adverse effects from extern al ma gnet ic fields.
(5) Leak magnetic field
The VCM drive magnetic circuit may leak a magnetic field (Up to 2.5 mT at a
distance of 4 mm from the drive surface).
Do not place any devices sensitive to a magnetic field near the
optical disk drive.
(6) External light source
Mount the optical disk drive away from strong light sources (e.g., camera flash).
(7) System ground (handling of SG and FG)
The optical disk drive must be grounded to the signal ground (SG) of the power
supply of the user's system. This SG line must be supplied with the system as well
as the power line.
C156-E228-02EN 3-13
Installation Requirements
The optical disk drive can be mounted in a 120 mm (5 inch) device
bay of the PC chassis using either a metal frame or a plastic
(nonconductive material) frame.
If a plastic frame is used, the personal computer's FG and the optical
disk drive's FG are not shorted. Consequently, the static electricity
tolerance is inferior to that rea liz ed when a met al fra m e is used.
Fujitsu recommends using a metal frame. In particular, a metal
frame must be used especially when high static electricity tolerance
is required.
3.3 Power Supply Requirements
(1) Allowable input voltage and current
The DC power supply input voltage must satisfy the requirements described in
Section 2.1.3, "Environmental and power requirements" when measured at the
power supply connector pin (receiving end) of the optical disk drive (For other
requirements, see items (4) and (5) below).
(2) Current waveform (reference)
Figure 3.8 shows the current waveform while a disk is inserted.
Figure 3.8 MCM3130SS current waveform (+5 VDC)
(3) Power on/off sequence
a) In a system which uses the terminating resistor power supply signal
(TERMPWR) of the SCSI bus, the requirements for +5 VDC given in Figure
3.9 must be satisfied between the drive and at least one of the SCSI devices
supplying power to that signal.
3-14 C156-E228-02EN
3.3 Power Supply Requirements
Figure 3.9 Power on/off sequence (1)
b) In a system which does not use the terminating resistor power supply signal
(TERMPWR) of the SCSI bus, the requirements for +5 VDC given in Figure
3.10 must be satisfied between the drive and the SCSI device with the
terminating resistor circu it.

c) Between the drive and other SCSI devices on the SCSI bus, the +5 VDC
power on/off sequence is as follows:
In a system with all its SCSI devices designed to prevent noise leakage to the
SCSI bus when the power is turned on or off, the power sequence does
not matter if the requirement in (a) or (b) is satisfied.
In a system containing an SCSI device which is not designed to prevent noise
leakage to the SCSI bus, the requirement given in Figure 3.11 must be
satisfied between the SCSI device and the drive.
Figure 3.11 Power on/off sequence (3)
C156-E228-02EN 3-15
Installation Requirements
(4) Power supply to SCSI terminating resistor
If the power for the terminating resistor is supplied from the drive to other SCSI
devices through the SCSI bus, the current-carrying capacity of the +5 VDC power
supply line to the optical disk drive must be designed with consideration of an
increase of up to 900 mA.
Select a method of power supply to the drive in accordance with the setting
terminal of the optical disk drive. See Subsection 4.3.3.
(5) Noise filter
To eliminate AC line noise, a noise filter should be installed at the AC input
terminal on the power supply unit of the drive. The noise filter specifications are
as follows:
Attenuation: 40 dB or more at 10 MHz
Circuit configuration: The T-configuration shown in Figure 3.12.

This chapter describes notes on handling the drives, co nnection modes, settings,
mounting the drives, cable connections, and operation confirmation and
preparation for use after installation, and notes on demounting the drives.
4.1 Notes on Drive Handling
(1) General notes
Note the following points to maintain drive performance and reliability:
(2) Unpackaging
a) Make sure that the UP label on the package is pointing upward and start
1) Shock or vibration applied to the drive that exceeds the values
defined in the standard damage the drive. Use care when
unpacking.
2) Do not leave the drive in dirty or contaminated environments.
3) Since static discharge may destroy the CMOS devices in the
drive, pay attention to the following points after unpacking:
• Use an antistatic mat and wrist strap when handling the
drive.
• Hold the mounting frame when handling the drive. Do
not touch the PCA except when setting the switches.
4) When handling the drive, hold both sides of the mounting
frame. When touching other than both sides of the mounting
frame, avoid putting force.
5) Do not forcibly push up the end of the header pin of the printed
circuit board unit when handling or setting the drive.
unpacking on a level surface. Handle the drive on a soft surface such as a
rubber mat, not on a hard surface such as a desk.

Installation
(3) Installation
b) Use care to avoid exerting excessive pressure on the unit when removing the
cushions.
c) Use care to avoid exerting excessive pressure on the PCA surface and
interface connectors when removing the drive from the antistatic bag.
d) If the temperature difference betwe en ins talla tion locations is 10 degrees or
more, leave the drive in the new location for at least two hours before
unpackaging it.
a) Do not connect or disconnect the connectors or change the terminal settings
when the power is on.
b) Do not move the drive with the power on.
c) Eject the optical disk cartridge, lock the carriage securing the head, turn off
the power, then move the drive.
Before moving the drive, remove the optical disk cartridge. If the
drive is moved with the optical disk cartridge loaded in it, the head
may move back and forth in the drive to damage the head or disk
and reading the data may fail.
(4) Packaging
a) Before packaging, remove the optical cartridge.
b) Store the drive in an antistatic plastic bag with desiccant (silica gel).
c) Use the same cushions and packaging supplied with the drive. If they are not
available, ensure that adequate shock abso rben t ma ter ia l is used. In this case,
some method of protecting the PCA surface and interface connectors must be
used.
d) Ap "UP" and "Handle With Care" labels to the outside of the package.
Figure 4.1 shows the individual packaging style and Figure 4.2 shows the gathered
packaging style. (The form and material of the cushion may be changed. )
a) Transport the package with the UP sign upward.
b) After unpacking, minimize the transportation distance and use cushions to
avoid shock and vibration. Transport the drive in one of the orientations
described in Subsection 3.2.2 after unpacking. (The horizontal direction is
recommended.)
(6) Storage
a) Use moistureproof packaging when storing the drive.
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 sharp changes in temperature.

(5) Spindle automatic stop mode
Normally, with the cartridge loaded, the spindle rotation is maintained until the
spindle is instructed to stop by the START/STOP UNIT command. The spindle
auto stop function automatically stops the spindle after the command has not been
issued from the host for about 33 minutes (default value). When the co mmand is
issued from the host with the spindle automatically stopped, the optical disk derive
turns the spindle again and performs processing in the same manner as in a ready
state without posting a not ready state.
C156-E228-02EN 4-9
Installation
The access supervision time from the host is about 33 minutes as the default.
However, it can be changed by the MODE SELECT command.
The spindle auto stop mode can also be changed by the MODE SELECT
command.

4.5 Cable Connections
4.4.2 Mounting procedure
How the drive is mounted depends on the system cabinet structure. Determine the
mounting procedure in consideration of the requirements of each system. This
section contains the general mounting procedure and check items.
See Section 3.2 for details on mounting drive.
1) For a system with an external operator panel mounted, connect the external
operator panel cable before mounting the drive in the system cabinet because
it is difficult to access the connector after the drive is mounted.
2) Tighten four mounting screws to secure the drive in the system cabinet.
The drive has ten mounting holes (both sides: 3×2, bottom: 4). Secure the
drive using the four mounting holes on both sides or the bottom.
Use mounting screws whose lengths are 3 mm or less from the external wall
of the mounting frame of the drive when they are tightened. (See Figure
3.6)
When mounting with screws, the screw tightening torque should be 0.4 to
0.45Nm (4 to 4.6kgf-cm).
Be careful not to damage the parts on the PCA when mounting the drive.
3) After securing the drive, make sure that the drive does not touch the chassis of
the system cabinet. There must be at least 1.5 mm clearance between the
drive and chassis. (See Figure 3.6)
4.5 Cable Connections
Use the following cables to connect the drive to the system. See Subsection 3.4.2
for details on the connector positions and cable requirements.
• Power supply cable
• SCSI cable
• External operator panel cable (if required)
The general procedure for cable connection and notes on connecting cables are
given below. Pay attention to the insertion direction of each cable connector.
1) Make sure that the system power is off.
2) Do not connect or disconnect any cable when the power is on.
1) Connect the power cable.
2) Connect the external operator panel (only if required for the system).
3) Connect the SCSI cable.
C156-E228-02EN 4-13
Installation
4) After each cable connector is connected, secure the cable so that the cable
does not touch the drive or the parts on the PCA or obstruct the flow of
cooling air in the system cabinet.
1) Be careful of the insertion directions of SCSI connectors. For a
system in which the terminating resistor power is supplied via
the SCSI cable, connecting connectors in the wrong direction
may cause the following:
The overcurrent protection fuse of the term ina ting resi stor
power supply (SCSI device) may blow when power is turned
on.
The cable may burn if overcurrent protection is not provided.
2) Be careful of cable connector positions when connecting more
than one SCSI device. The SCSI device having the terminating
resistor must be connected to the end of the cable.
3) The cables must be kept away from the rotating part of the
spindle motor.
4.6 Operation Confirmation and Preparation for Use after
Installation
4.6.1 Confirming initial operations
This section provides the operation check procedures after the power is turned on.
(1) Initial operation when the power is turned on
• When the power is turned on, the drive starts initial self-diagnosis. The LED
on the front panel is on for 1 second during initial self-diagnosis.
• If an error is detected during initial self-diagnosis, the LED on the front panel
blinks.
• In case of not inserted the cartridge, when the power is turned on, the eject
motor automatically turns once.
(2) Checks if errors occur at initial self-diagnosis
• Make sure that the cables are connected correctly .
• Make sure that the supply voltage is correct. (Measure the volt age at the
power supply connector of the optical drive.)
• Make sure that the settings of all terminals are correc t.
• If the LED on the front panel blinks continuously, an error was detected
during initial self-diagnosis. In this case, issue the REQUEST SENSE
command from the initiator (host sy ste m) to obtain sen se da ta for error
analysis.
4-14 C156-E228-02EN
4.6 Operation Confirmation and Preparation for Use after Installation
The BUSY LED is on while the optical disk drive is executing seek,
write, or read operations. The BUSY LED is on momentarily, so it
seems as if it blinked or is off.
The eject motor turns once when the power is turned on so that in
case the spindle motor position deviates due to shocks received by
the drive during transport the position is corrected to allow the
cartridge to be inserted normally. If the cartridge fails to be inserted,
remove the cartridge and turn on the drive power to turn the eject
motor once and reinsert the cartridge.
4.6.2 SCSI connection check
When initial operation checks out normally after the power is turned on, check
whether the drive is correctly connected to the SCSI bus from the host system.
Checking the SCSI connection depends on the host system configuration. This
section describes the general procedure.
(1) Procedure
Figure 4.6 shows the recommended checking procedure.
Note:
Steps a) to c) correspond to a) to c) in Figure 4.6.
a) Issue the TEST UNIT READY command and check that the drive is
connected correctly to the SCSI bus.
b) Use the WRITE BUFFER and READ BUFFER commands to check whether
the SCSI bus operates normally. Use data whose bits change to 0 or 1 at least
once. (Example: A X'00' to X'FF'increment pattern)
c) Check whether the settings are correct. Also, make sure that the controller
and drive operate normally.

Installation
Figure 4.6 SCSI connection check
4-16 C156-E228-02EN
4.7 Dismounting Drive
(2) If processing terminates abnormally:
a) If sense data has been obtained by the REQUEST SENSE command, analyze
the sense data. If the error is recoverable, retry the processing.
b) Check the following items for SCSI cable connection:
All connectors, including other SCSI devices, are connected correctly.
A terminating resistor is correctly mounted at both ends of the cable.
Power is supplied to the terminating resistors correctly.
c) Check the settings of all terminals are correct. Note that the procedure of
checking the SCSI connection depends on the setting of "spindle automatic
stop".
4.7 Dismounting Drive
How to demount an optical disk drive (for setting terminal checking, setting
change, or device replacement) depends on the system cabinet configuration.
Determine the demounting procedure in consideration of the requirements of each
system. This section describes the general demounting procedure and notes on
demounting drives.
Before demounting the optical disk drive, turn off the system power.
Do not remove screws securing the cables and drive when the power
is on.
1) Remove the power cable.
2) Remove the SCSI cable.
3) When an external operator panel is mounted, remove its cable. If it is difficult
to access the connector, remove the cable after step e).
4) Remove the DC ground cable.
5) Remove the four screws securing the drive, then remove the drive from the
system cabinet.
6) When storing or transporting the drive, put the drive into an antistatic bag.

5.4 Cleaning of Optical Disk Cartridge
This chapter describes how to operate and clean the optical disk drive and an
optical disk cartridge.
5.1 Operation of Optical Disk Drive
The optical disk drive has automatic load and eject functions. All of the operator
must do about the drive is to insert an optical disk cartridge and push the eject
button. This section explains loading and ejecting an optical disk cartridge,
assuming that the drive is mounted horizontally. You can operate the drive in the
same manner even when it is mounted vertically.
Figure 5.1 shows the front view of the optical disk drive. The following sections
explain the names and functions of parts that a user should know for operation as
well as methods of loading and ejecting an optical disk cartridge.
5.1.1 Appearance of optical disk drive
3) Manual eject hole

The following explains the parts and functions of the optical disk drive (the
following numbers correspond to those in Figures 5.1):
2) Eject button/BUSY LED
C156-E228-02EN 5-1
Operation and Cleaning
1) Disk insertion slot
Insert and eject an optical disk cartridge into and out of this slot.
2) Eject button & BUSY LED (indicator lamp)
On this optical disk drive, the eject button serves also as the BUSY LED
(indicator lamp). Eject an optical disk cartridge by pressing this button,
which also goes on in green during seeking and during erasing, writing or
reading of data. When ejection is disabled by an SCSI command, an optical
disk cartridge cannot be taken out.
3) Manual eject hole
Use this hole to eject an optical disk cartridge manually at power-off.
5.1.2 Precautions
To maintain the performance and reliability of the drive and to prevent data from
being damaged, observe the following instructions:
• Do not eject an optical disk cartridge while the drive is in the Busy state.
Particularly, do not manually eject the cartridge by force.
• Be extra careful not to insert the wrong media such as a floppy disk or foreign
matter, which causes a malfunction of the drive.
5.1.3 Inserting an optical disk cartridge
Insert an optical disk cartridge as follows (s ee Figur e 5.2):
(1) While the drive is powered on:
1) Make sure that there is no other optical disk cartridge in the drive.
2) Hold an optical disk cartridge with the printed shutter surface facing upward.
3) Press the opening section of the cartridge against the disk insertion slot.
4) Hold the center of the rear half of the cartridge to insert the cartridge straight
into the slot until the cartridge is lowered to the bottom (a little inside the
operator panel).
The cartridge starts to be loaded when it has been inserted. The BUSY LED
indicator lamp goes on immediately and goes off in a few seconds, indicating the
completion of loading.
Notes:
1. Insert a cartridge as far as it will go until the BUSY LED indicator lamp goes
on.
2. A cartridge may not be sufficiently inserted if you press only the left or right
edge of the rear half of the cartridge. Be sure to push the central part straight
into the slot as far as it will go.
5-2 C156-E228-02EN
5.1 Operation of Optical Disk Drive
3. If the BUSY LED indicator lamp does not go on after a cartridge is inserted,
press the eject/BUSY LED button once to eject the cartridge and insert it
again.
4. Do not forcibly insert a cartridge if you have any difficulty inserting it. If you
do, the drive may be damaged. In such a case, be sure to remove the cartridge
once and check the insertion orientation and the face and back of the cartridge
before inserting it again.
(2) While the drive is powered off:
1) Make sure that there is no other optical disk cartridge in the drive.
2) Hold an optical disk cartridge with the printed shutter surface facing upward.
3) Press the opening section of the cartridge against the disk insertion slot.
4) Hold the center of the rear half of the cartridge to insert the cartridge straight
into the slot until the cartridge is lowered to the bottom (a little inside the
operator panel).
The cartridge remains where it has been inserted. If you power on the drive, the
BUSY LED indicator lamp goes on.
Notes:
1. If the BUSY LED indicator lamp does not go on when the power is turned on,
press the eject button to eject the cartridge and then insert it again until the
lamp goes on.
2. A cartridge may not be sufficiently inserted if you press only the left or right
edge of the rear half of the cartridge. Be sure to push the central part straight
into the slot as far as it will go.
3. Do not forcibly insert a cartridge if you have any difficulty inserting it. If you
do, the drive may be damaged. In such a case, be sure to remove the cartridge
once and check the insertion orientation and the face and back of the cartridge
before inserting it again.
Push on the back of the cartridge somewhere within the area extending 20 mm
from left of center to 20mm from right of center, up to the location shown on
the right.

C156-E228-02EN 5-3
Operation and Cleaning
If you insert an optical disk cartridge with the printed shutter facing
upward by pressing on the rear of cartridge at the left edge, you may
hear an audible click but the drive may not become READY. In
such a case, press the cartridge further by pressing on the back of the
cartridge from the center (somewhe re nea r the notched section of th e
panel front) until the LED indication lamp goes on. If this happens,
the cartridge has been normally inserted.
5.1.4 Removing an optical disk cartridge
Remove an optical disk cartridge as described below.
(1) While the drive is powered on:
1) Press the eject switch to remove an optical disk cartridge (see Figure 5.3).
Notes:
1. No optical disk cartridge can be removed if the SCSI command inhibits
ejection.
2. Remove an optical disk cartridge after it is completely ejected.
3. Be careful not to let a cartridge drop out of the drive when it is ejected. This
may happen depending on the ambient environment and the cartridge's
condition even if the drive installation conditions are met.
(2) While the drive is powered off:
While the drive is powered off, you cannot remove an optical disk cartridge by
pressing the eject switch.
To remove a cartridge in such a case, insert an accessory eject jig or a pin about 1
mm in diameter into the manual eject hole (see Figure 5.1) and push on it.
Notes:
1. NEVER eject a cartridge while the BUSY LED lamp is on. The data may be
destroyed or the drive may be damaged.
2. Note that a cartridge may drop out of the drive when it is ejected.
3. Do not carry the optical disk drive around while a cartridge is loaded in it.

CHAPTER 6 Diagnostics and Maintenance
6.1 Diagnostics
6.2 Maintenance Information
This chapter provides diagnostics and maintenance information.
6.1 Diagnostics
Table 6.1 lists test items during diagnostics.
The optical disk drive has a self-diagnostics function. This function can check the
normality of basic operations of the drive.
To check the generation operations including the operations of the interface with
the host system, provide a test program that can run in the host system (see Section
6.1.3).
Table 6.1 Diagnostics function
Description of diagnostics Diagnostics item
Initial self-diagnostics Basic operations
Diagnostic command Basic operations
Test program General operations
6.1.1 Initial self-diagnostics
When the power is turned on, the optical disk drive executes initial selfdiagnostics. The initial self-diagnostics tests basic hardware operations.
The hardware function test checks the normality of the basic operations of the
controller. This test includes the normality check of the ROM that stores
microcodes, microprocessor (MPU) peripheral circuit test, memory (RAM) test,
and data buffer test.
The LED on the drive front panel blinks if an error is detected during initial selfdiagnostics.

Diagnostics and Maintenance
6.1.2 Diagnostic command
The host system issues the EXECUTIVE DEVICE DIAGNOSTIC command to
cause the ODD to execute self-diagnostics.
See the description on the EXECUTIVE DEVICE DIAGNOSTIC command for
more information.
6.1.3 Test program
To check the operations of the interface with the host system and the general
operations in an environment that simulates an actual operation status, provide a
test program that can run in the host system.
The configuration and function of the test program depend on the requir em ent s of
the user system.
To comprehensively test the functions of the optical disk drive, the Fujitsu
recommends that the test progra m incl ude the follow in g test ite ms :
(1) Random/sequential read test
Use the READ or VERIFY command to test the positioning (seek) and read
operations in both random access mode and sequent ial access mode.
(2) Write/read test
Using a disk whose data may be erased, execute write/read test based on arbitrary
data patterns.
