The names of abbreviations, commands, fields and acronyms used as signal names are in all uppercase type
(e.g., IDENTIFY DRIVE). Fields containing only one bit are usually referred to as the “name” bit instead
of the “name” field. Names of drive registers begin with a capital letter (e.g., Cylinder High register).
Numbers that are not followed by a lowercase “b” or “h” are decimal values. Numbers that are followed
by a lowercase “b” (e.g., 01b) are binary values. Numbers that are followed by a lowercase “h” (e.g., 3Ah)
are hexadecimal values.
Signal names are shown in all uppercase type.
All signals are either high active or low active signals. A dash character (-) at the end of a signal name
indicates that the signal is low active. A low active signal is true when it is below ViL and is false when it
is above ViH. A signal without a dash at the end indicates that the signal is high active. A high active
signal is true when it is above ViH and is false when it is below ViL.
When a signal is asserted, it means the signal is driven by an active circuit to its true state.
When a signal is negated, it means the signal is driven by an active circuit to its false state.
When a signal is released, it means the signal is not actively driven to any state. Some signals have bias
circuitry that pull the signal to either a true or false state when no signal driver is actively asserting or
negating the signal. These instances are noted under the description of the signal.

Maxtor hard disk drives are 1-inch high, 3.5-inch diameter random access storage devices which incorporate an
on-board Ultra ATA/100 interface controller. High capacity is achieved by a balanced combination of high areal
recording density and the latest data encoding and servo techniques.
Maxtor's latest advancements in electronic packaging and integration methods have lowered the drive's power
consumption and increased its reliability. Advanced giant magneto-resistive read/write heads and a state-of-the-art
head/disk assembly - using an integrated motor/spindle design - allow up to four disks in a 3.5-inch package.
Exceptionally high data transfer rates, 5400 RPM spin speed and 11 ms access times make these capacity-class disk
drives especially well-suited to general desktop storage applications.

The disk capacity is increased with bit density management – common with Zone Density Recording.
Each disk surface is divided into 16 circumferential zones. All tracks within a given zone contain a
constant number of data sectors. The number of data sectors per track varies in different zones; the
outermost zone contains the largest number of data sectors and the innermost contains the fewest.
This mode is implemented per ANSI ATA/ATAPI-5 specification. Read/Write Multiple allows the
host to transfer a set number of sectors without an interrupt request between them, reducing transfer
process overhead and improving host performance.
Maxtor hard drives fully comply with the new ANSI Ultra DMA protocol, which greatly improves
overall AT interface performance by significantly improving burst and sustained data throughput.
Supports multi-word Direct Memory Access (DMA) EISA Type B mode transfers.
Sector Address TranslationSector Address Translation

Sector Address TranslationSector Address Translation
All Maxtor hard drives feature a universal translate mode. In an AT/EISA-class system, the drive may
be configured to any specified combination of cylinders, heads and sectors (within the range of the
drive's formatted capacity). Maxtor hard drives power-up in a translate mode:

Logical Block AddressingLogical Block Addressing
Logical Block Addressing
Logical Block AddressingLogical Block Addressing
The Logical Block Address (LBA) mode can only be utilized in systems that support this form of translation.
The cylinder, head and sector geometry of the drive, as presented to the host, differs from the actual physical
geometry. The host AT computer may access a drive of set parameters: number of cylinders, heads and sectors
per track, plus cylinder, head and sector addresses. However, the drive can’t use these host parameters directly
because of zoned recording techniques. The drive translates the host parameters to a set of logical internal
addresses for data access.
The host drive geometry parameters are mapped into an LBA based on this formula:
LBA = (HSCA - 1) + HHDA x HSPT + HNHD x HSPT x HCYA (1)
whe re HSCA = Host Sector Address, HHDA = Host Head Address
The LBA is checked for violating the drive capacity. If it does not, the LBA is converted to physical drive
cylinder, head and sector values. The physical address is then used to access or store the data on the disk
and for other drive related operations.
= (HSCA - 1) + HSPT x (HHDA + HNHD x HCYA) (2)
HCYA = Host Cylinder Address, HNHD = Host Number of Heads
HSPT = Host Sectors per Track

Each drive model has a fixed number of spare sectors per drive, all of which are located at the end of the
drive. Upon detection of a bad sector that has been reassigned, the next sequential sector is used.
For example, if sector 3 is flagged, data that would have been stored there is “pushed down” and recorded
in sector 4. Sector 4 then effectively becomes sector 3, as sequential sectors are “pushed down” across the
entire drive. The first spare sector makes up for the loss of sector 3, and so maintains the sequential order
of data. This push down method assures maximum performance.

Immediately following power down, dynamic braking of the spinning disks delays momentarily allowing
the read/write heads to move to an inner mechanical stop. A small fixed magnet holds the rotary actuator
in place as the disk spins down. The rotary actuator is released only when power is again applied.

The data buffer is organized into two segments: the data buffer and the micro controller scratch pad.
The data buffer is dynamically allocated for read and write data depending on the commands received.
A variable number of read and write buffers may exist at the same time.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Read-Ahead ModeRead-Ahead Mode
Read-Ahead Mode
Read-Ahead ModeRead-Ahead Mode
Normally, this mode is active. Following a read request, disk read-ahead begins on the first sector and
continues sequentially until the allocated buffer is full. If a read request is received during the read-ahead
operation, the buffer is examined to determine if the request is in the cache. If a cache hit occurs, readahead mode continues without interruption and the host transfer begins immediately.

This feature is part of the write cache and reduces the risk of data loss during deferred write operations.
If a disk error occurs during the disk write process, the disk task stops and the suspect sector is reallocated
to a pool of alternate sectors located at the end of the drive. Following reallocation, the disk write task
continues until it is complete.
Write Cache StackingWrite Cache Stacking
Write Cache Stacking
Write Cache StackingWrite Cache Stacking
Normally, this mode is active. Write cache mode accepts the host write data into the buffer until the buffer
is full or the host transfer is complete. A command complete interrupt is generated at the end of the transfer.
A disk write task begins to store the host data to disk. Host write commands continue to be accepted
and data transferred to the buffer until either the write command stack is full or the data buffer is full.
The drive may reorder write commands to optimize drive throughput.

Two drives may be accessed via a common interface cable, using the same range of I/O addresses.
The drives are jumpered as device 0 or 1 (Master/Slave), and are selected by the drive select bit in the
Device/Head register of the task file.
All Task File registers are written in parallel to both drives. The interface processor on each drive decides
whether a command written to it should be executed; this depends on the type of command and which
drive is selected. Only the drive selected executes the command and activates the data bus in response to
host I/O reads; the drive not selected remains inactive.
A master/slave relationship exists between the two drives: device 0 is the master and device 1 the slave.
When J50 is closed (factory default, figure 2-1), the drive assumes the role of master; when open, the
drive acts as a slave. In single drive configurations, J50 must be closed.

CSEL (cable select) is an optional feature per ANSI ATA specification. Drives configured in a multiple
drive system are identified by CSEL’s value:
– If CSEL is grounded, then the drive address is 0.
– If CSEL is open, then the drive address is 1.

The hard disk drive mechanism is designed as a subassembly for installation into a suitable enclosure and
is therefore not subject to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules (47CFR15) or the Canadian Department of
Communications Radio Interference Regulations. Although not required, the disk mechanism has been
tested within a suitable end-use product and found to comply with Class B limits of the FCC Rules and
Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
The CE Marking indicates conformity with the European Union Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC)
when the disk mechanism is installed in a typical personal computer. Maxtor recommends that testing
and analysis for EMC compliance be performed with the disk mechanism installed within the user's
end-use application.

Hard Drive Handling PrecautionsHard Drive Handling Precautions
◆ If the handling precautions are not followed, damage to the hard drive may result - which
may void the warranty.
◆ During handling, NEVER drop, jar, or bump a drive. Handle the drive by its sides and avoid
touching the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA).
◆ Hard drives are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. Use proper ESD practices
by grounding yourself and the computer system the hard drive will be installed in.
◆ Allow the hard drive to reach room temperature BEFORE installing it in your computer system.
◆ NEVER switch DC power onto the drive by plugging an electrically live DC source cable into
the drive's connector. NEVER connect a live connector to the hard drive's IDE interface connector.
◆ ELECTRICAL GROUNDING - For proper operation, the drive must be securely fastened to a
device bay that provides a suitable electrical ground to the drive baseplate.

To avoid some of the problems associated with ESD, Maxtor advises that anyone handling a disk drive use
a wrist strap with an attached wire connected to an earth ground. Failure to observe these precautions voids
the product warranty.
Manufacturers frequently experience “unsolved” component/hardware malfunctions often caused by ESD.
To reduce the incidence of ESD-related problems, Maxtor recommends that any electronics manufacturing
plans include a comprehensive ESD program, the basic elements and functions of which are outlined here:
ESD Program Element ESD Program Function
Management Institute and maintain
Chief coordinator Organize and enforce
Multi-department committee Evaluate and improve
Employee training Educate and inform
ESD program supplies typically include: wrist- and foot-worn grounding straps; counter-top and floor
antistatic matting; wrist strap testers; ESD video and training materials. Sources for such supplies include:
