1.5 Seek time

Seek measurements are taken with nominal power at 25°C ambient
temperature. All times are measured using drive diagnostics. The spec­ifications in the table below are defined as follows:

•

Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track
seeks in both directions.

•

Average seek time is a true statistical random average of at least 5,000
measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead.

Barracuda ATA II 100 Family Product Manual, Rev. A 7

•

Full-stroke seek time is one-half the time needed to seek from the first
data cylinder to the maximum data cylind er an d b ac k t o th e fi rst dat a
cylinder. The full-stroke typic al v al ue is determined by averaging 100
full-stroke seeks in both directions.

Note.

These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times rep­resented in this manual. Physical seeks, regardless of mode (such as
track-to-track and average) are expected to meet or exceed the noted
values. However, due to the manner in which these drives are format­ted, benchmark tests that include command overhead or measure
logical seeks may produce results that vary from these specifications.

1.6 Start/stop times

Power-on to Ready (sec) 11 (typical)
Standby to Ready (sec) 10 (typical)
Ready to spindle stop (sec) 8 (typical)

1.7 Power specifications

The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a four-pin standard
drive power connector.

1.7.1 Power consumption

Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on pag e 9.
Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested,
under nominal conditions, using 5.0V input voltage at 25°C ambient
temperature.

Spinup power

•

Spinup power is measured from the time of power-on to the time that
the drive spindle reaches operating speed.

Seek Mode

•

During seek mode, the read/write actuator arm moves toward a
specific position o n the disc surface an d does not execute a read or

8 Barracuda ATA II 100 Family Product Manual, Rev. A

write operation. S ervo e lectron ics are ac tive. Seek mode p ower rep­resents the worst-case power consumption, using only random seeks
with read or write latency time. This mode is not typical and is provided
for worst-case information.

Read/Write power and current

•

Read/write power is measured with the heads on trac k, based on a
16-sector write follow ed by a 32-msec delay, then a 16 -sector read
followed by a 32-msec delay.

Operating power and current

•

Operating power is measured using 40 percent random seeks, 40
percent read/write mode (1 write for each 10 reads) and 20 pe rcent
drive inactive.

Idle mode power

•

Idle mode power is measured with the drive up to spee d, with ser vo
electronics active and with the heads in a random track location.

Standby mode

•

During Standby mode , the drive a ccepts comm ands, but the drive is
not spinning, and the servo a nd read/write electronic s are in p ower­down mode.

1.7.2 Conducted noise

Input noise ripple i s mea su re d a t the host system powe r su ppl y ac ross
an equivalent 80-ohm resistive load on the +12 volt line or an equivalent
15-ohm resistive load on the +5 volt line.

•

Using 12-volt power, the drive is expected to operate with a maximum
of 120 mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10 MHz.

•

Using 5-volt power, th e dri ve is expec ted to op er ate with a ma xi mum
of 100 mV peak-to-peak square-wave injected noise at up to 10 MHz.

Note.

Equivalent resis tance is calcu lated by dividing the nomina l volt­age by the typical RMS read/write current.

1.7.3 Voltage tolerance

Voltage tolerance (incl udi ng noi se ):
5V ± 5% 0.7 amps max

12V + 10%, – 5% 2.4 amps max

1.7.4 Power-management modes

The drive provides programmable power management to provide great­er energy efficiency . In m ost syst ems, you can control power mana ge­ment through the system setup program. The drive features the following
power-management modes:

Power Modes Heads Spindle Buffer

Active Tracking Rotating Enabled
Idle Tracking Rotating Enabled
Standby Parked Stopped Enabled
Sleep Parked Stopped Disabled

Active mode

•

The drive is in Active mode during the read/write and seek operations.

Idle mode

•

The buffer remains enabled, and the drive accepts all commands and
returns to Active mode any time disc access is necessary.

Barracuda ATA II 100 Family Product Manual, Rev. A 11

Standby mode

•

The drive enters Standby mode when the host sends a Standby
Immediate command. If the hos t has set th e standb y timer, the drive
can also enter Standby mo de automatical ly after the drive has been
inactive for a specifia ble length of time. The standby timer delay is
established using a Standby or Idle command. In Standby mode, the
drive buffer is enabled, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest.
The drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode any time
disc access is necessary.

Sleep mode

•

The drive enters Sleep mode after receivi ng a Sleep co mmand from
the host. In S leep mode, the drive buffer is disabl ed, the heads are
parked and the spindle is at res t. The drive l eaves Sleep m ode after
it receives a Hard Reset or Soft Reset from the host. After receiving a
reset, the drive exits Sleep mo de and enters Standby mode with all
current translation parameters intact.

Idle and Standby timers

•

Each time the drive performs an Active function (read, write or seek),
the standby timer is rein itialized and begins counting do wn from its
specified delay times to zero. If the standby timer reaches zero before
any drive activity is re q ui red, th e d ri v e m ake s a transition to Standby
mode. In both Idle and Standby mode, the drive accepts all commands
and returns to Active mode when disc access is necessary.

2.0 Configuring and mounting the drive

This section contain s th e s pec if ic ati ons an d in st ru cti on s fo r c on fig ur in g
and mounting the drive.

2.1 Handling and static-discharge precautions

After unpacking, and before installation, the drive may be exposed to
potential handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazards. Observe the
following standard handling and static-discharge precautions:

Caution:

The SeaShell™ replaces electrostatic discharge (ESD) bags. The

•

SeaShell package is a shock-ribbed, transparent clamshell enclosure
that limits a drive’s exposure to ESD and also protects against external
shocks and stresses . The design permits attach ing cables, softwar e
loading and label/barc ode scanning without r emoving the drive from
the SeaShell. This minimizes handling damage. Keep the drive in the
SeaShell package until you are ready for installation.

The drive has a cover called SeaShield

•

cover—it protects the drive from electrostatic discha rge (ESD) and
minor impact damage. The SeaShield cover also includes installation
instructions and jumper settings. Removing the Sea Shield voids th e
warranty.

Before handling the drive, put on a grounde d wrist strap, or ground

•

yourself frequentl y by touching the metal chas sis of a com puter that
is plugged into a grounded outlet. Wear a grounded wrist strap
throughout the entire installation procedure.

Handle the drive by its edges or frame

•

The drive is extremely fragile—handle it with care. Do not press down

•

on the drive top cover.
Always rest the drive on a padd ed, anti static sur face unt il you mount

•

it in the computer.
Do not touch the connector pins or the printed circuit board.

•

Do not remove the factory-installed labels from the drive or cover them

•

with additional labels. Removal voids the warranty. Some factory­installed labels contain information needed to service the drive. Other
labels are used to seal out dirt and contamination.

Do not remove this permanent

2.2 Jumper settings

2.2.1 Master/slave configuration

The options jumper block shown in Figure 2 is used to configure the drive
for operation. It is the 8-pin dual header between the interface connector
and the power connecto r. Use the following settings to con figure the
drive as a master or a slave.

Master or single drive

. The drive is configured at the factory for a master

or single-drive operation with a jumper set on pins 7 and 8.

2.2.2 Cable-select option

Computers that use cable-select determine the master and slave drives
by selecting or dese lecting pin 2 8, CSEL, on th e interface bu s. Master
and slave drives are determined by their physical position on the cable.
To enable cable select, set a jumper on pins 5 and 6 as shown in Figure
2 on page 18. Refer to your computer manual to determine whether your
computer supports this option.

2.2.3 Alternate capacity jumper

Some older computers may “hang” if their BIOS detects a hard drive that
has more than 4,092 cylinders at startup. To eliminate this problem, the
drive includes a capacity-limiting jumper that sets the drive’s default
translation geometr y to 4,092 cylinders (2.1 Gby tes ). To re al iz e th e f ull
capacity of the drive, you can use third-party software such as DiskWizard.

2.2.4 Ultra ATA/100 cable

An 80-conductor 40-pin cable is required to run Ultra DMA mode 3, mode
4 and mode 5. This cable us es even-n umbered cond uctors co nnected
to the ground pins to improve signal integrity.

Notes:

1.

The drive supports both host and drive cable detection. The host
detects the 80-conductor cable by sampling pin 34, CBLID–, on
the interface bus. The dr ive d etects the 80-cond uctor c able by
sensing a capacitor at the host side through the CBLID– signal.
The result is reported in a Fast Rise Detected bit (bit 13 of word
93 in the Identify drive parameter block).

2.1 Drive mounting

You can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side­mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. See Figure
3 on page 20 for drive mo unting dimensions. Follow these im portant
mounting precautions when mounting the drive:

•

Allow a minimum clearanc e of 0.030 inches (0.76 mm) around the
entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.

•

Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws.

20 Barracuda ATA II 100 Family Product Manual, Rev. A

•

The screws should be in serted no more than 0.200 inch (5.08 mm ) into
the bottom mounting hole s and n o more than 0.1 4 inch (3 .5 5 mm) int o
the side mounting holes.

•

Do not overtighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 6 inch-lb).

•

Do not use a drive interface cable that is more than 18 inches long.

3.1.4 S.M.A.R.T. commands

S.M.A.R.T. provides near-term failure prediction for disc drives. When
S.M.A.R.T. is enabled, the drive monitors predetermined drive attributes
that are suscep tible to degradation over time. If self-monitor ing determines
that a failure is likely, S.M.A.R.T. makes a status report available to the
host. Not all failur es are predi ctable. S.M.A.R. T. predict ability is lim ited to
the attributes the drive can monito r. For more information on S.M.A.R.T.
commands and implementation, see the
