2.1 About the Serial ATA interface

The Serial ATA interface provides several advantages over the traditional (parallel) ATA interface. The primary advantages include:

• Easy installation and configuration with true plug-and-play connectivity. It is not necessary to set any jump-

ers or other configuration options.

• Thinner and more flexible cabling for improved enclosure airflow and ease of installation.

• Scalability to higher performance levels. In addition, Serial ATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. Serial

ATA was designed to allow you to install a Serial ATA host adapter and Serial ATA disc drive in your current system and expect all of your existing applications to work as normal.

The Serial ATA interface connects each disc drive in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave relationship with Serial ATA devices like there is with parallel ATA. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system views the two devices as if they were both “masters” on two separate ports. This essentially means both drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master) devices.

Note. The host adapter may, optionally, emulate a master/slave environment to host software where two

devices on separate Serial ATA ports are represented to host software as a Device 0 (master) and Device 1 (slave) accessed at the same set of host bus addresses. A host adapter that emulates a master/slave environment manages two sets of shadow registers. This is not a typical Serial ATA environment.

The Serial ATA host adapter and drive share the function of emulating parallel ATA device behavior to provide backward compatibility with existing host systems and software. The Command and Control Block registers, PIO and DMA data transfers, resets, and interrupts are all emulated.

The Serial ATA host adapter contains a set of registers that shadow the content s of the traditional de vice registers, referred to as the Shadow Register Block. All Serial ATA devices behave like Device 0 devices. For additional information about how Serial ATA emulates parallel ATA, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment” specification. The specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org.

3.8 Power specifications

The drive receives DC power (+5V or +12V) through a na tive SATA power con nector. See Figure 3 on page 24.

3.8.1 Power consumption

Power requirements for the drives are listed in the t able on p ag e 9. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nominal conditions, using 5.0V and 12.0V 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 on the disc surface and does not execute a read or write operation. Servo electronics are active. Seek mode power 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 track, based on a 16-sector write followed by a 32-ms delay, then a 16-sector read followed by a 32ms delay.

• Operating power and current

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

• Idle mode power

Idle mode power is measured with the drive up to speed, with servo electronics active and with the hea ds in a random track location.

• Standby mode

During Standby mode, the drive accepts commands, but the drive is not spinning, and the servo and read/ write electronics are in power-down mode.

3.8.4 Power-management modes

The drive provides programmable power management to provide greater energy efficiency. In most systems, you can control power management through the system setup program. The drive features the following power-management modes:

Power modes Heads Spindle Buffer

Active Tracking Rotating Enabled Idle_a ID Biased Rotating Enabled Idle_b Parked Rotating Enabled Idle_c Parked Rotating at lower RPM 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.

• Standby mode The drive enters Standby mode when the host sends a Standby Immediate command. If the host has set

the standby timer, the drive can also enter Standby mode automatically after the drive has been inactive for a specifiable 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 receiving a Sleep command from the host. In Sleep mode, the drive buffer is disabled, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest. The drive leaves Sleep mode after it receives a Hard Reset or Soft Reset from the host. After receiving a reset, the drive exits Sleep mode 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 reinitialized and begins counting down from its specified delay times to zero. If the standby timer reaches zero before any drive activity is required, the drive makes 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.

3.8.4.1 Extended Power Conditions - PowerChoice

Utilizing the load/unload architecture a programmable power management interface is provided to tailor systems for reduced power consumption and performance requirements.

The table below lists the supported power conditions available in PowerChoice. Power conditions are ordered from highest power consumption (and shortest recovery time) to lowest power consumption (and longest recovery time) as follows: Idle_a power >= Idle_b power >= Id le_c power >= Standby_z power. The further you go down in the table, the more power savings is actualized. For example, Idle_b results in greater power savings than the Idle_a power condition. Standby results in the greatest power savings.

Power Condition Name Power Condition ID Description

Idle_a 81 Idle_b 82 Idle_c 83 Standby_z 00

H H H H

Reduced electronics Heads unloaded. Disks spinning at full RPM Heads unloaded. Disks spinning at reduced RPM Heads unloaded. Motor stopped (disks not spinning)

Each power condition has a set of current, saved and default settings. Default settings are not modifiable. Default and saved settings persist across power-on resets. The current settings do not persist across power-on resets. At the time of manufacture, the default, saved and current settings are in the Power Conditions log match.

PowerChoice is invoked using one of two methods

• Automatic power transitions which are triggered by expiration of individual power condition timers. These timer values may be customized and enabled using th e Extended Power Conditions (EPC) feature set using the standardized Set Features command interface.

• Immediate host commanded power transitions may be initiated using an EPC Set Features "Go to Power Condition" subcommand to enter any supported power condition. Legacy power commands Standby Imme diate and Idle Immediate also provide a method to directly transition the drive into supported power conditions.

PowerChoice exits power saving states under the following conditions

• Any command which requires the drive to enter the PM0: Active state (media access)

• Power on reset

PowerChoice provides the following reporting methods for tracking purposes

Check Power Mode Command

• Reports the current power state of the drive

Identify Device Command

• EPC Feature set supported flag

• EPC Feature enabled flag is set if at least one Idle power condition timer is enabled

Power Condition Log reports the following for each power condition

• Nominal recovery time from the power condition to active

• If the power condition is Supported, Changeable, and Savable

• Default enabled state, and timer value

• Saved enabled state, and timer value

• Current enabled state, and timer value

PowerChoice Manufacture Default Power Condition Timer Values

Default power condition timer values

have been established to assure product reliability and data integrity. A minimum timer value threshold of two minutes ensures the appropriate amount of background drive main tenance activities occur. Attempting to set a timer values less than the specified minimum timer value threshold will result in an aborted EPC "Set Power Condition Timer" subcommand.

Power Condition Name Manufacturer Default Timer Values

Idle_a 2 min Idle_b 4 min Idle_c 10 min Standby_z 15 min

Setting power condition timer values less than the manufacturer specified defaults or issuing the EPC "Go to Power Condition" subcommand at a rate exceeding the default timers may limit this products reliability and data integrity.

3.16 Corrosive environment

Seagate electronic drive components pass accelerated corrosion testing equivalent to 10 years exposure to light industrial environments containing sulfurous gases, chlorine and nitric oxide, classes G and H per ASTM B845. However, this accelerated testing cannot duplicate every potential application environment. Users should use caution exposing any electronic components to uncontrolled chemical pollutants and corrosive chemicals as electronic drive component reliability can be affected by the installation environment. The silver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate produ cts are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic components should never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or exposed to an ambient relative humidity greater than 95%. Materials used in cabinet fabrication , such as vulcanized rubber, that can outgas corrosive compounds should be minimized or eliminated. The useful life of any electronic equipment may be extended by replacing materials near circuitry with sulfide-free alternatives.

4.0 Configuring and mounting the drive

This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring and mounting the drive.

4.1 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 han dling and static-discharge precautions:

Caution:

• Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist str ap , or ground yourself frequently by touching the metal chassis of a computer that is plugged into a grounded outlet. Wea r a grounded wrist strap throughout the entire installation procedure.

• Handle the drive by its edges or frame only.

• The drive is extremely fragile—handle it with care. Do not press down on the drive top cover.

• Always rest the drive on a padded, antistatic surface until 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 dr ive or cover them with additional labels. Removal voids the warranty. Some factory-installed labels contain information needed to service the drive. Other labels are used to seal out dirt and contamination.

Constellation ES Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. D 23

4.2 Configuring the drive

Power cable

Signal cable

Signal connector

Power connector

Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects point-to-point with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave relationship because each drive is considered a master in a point-to-point relationship. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system views the two devices as if they were both “masters” on two separate ports. Both drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master) devices.

4.3 Serial ATA cables and connectors

The Serial ATA interface cable consists of four conductors in two differential pairs, plus three ground connections. The cable size may be 30 to 26 AWG with a maximum length of one meter (39.37 in). See Table 7 for connector pin definitions. Either end of the SATA signal cable can be attached to the drive or host.

For direct backplane connection, the drive connectors are inserted directly into the host receptacle. The drive and the host receptacle incorporate features that enable the direct connection to be hot pluggable and blind mateable.

For installations which require cables, you can connect the drive as illustrated in Figure 3.

Figure 3. Attaching SATA cabling

Each cable is keyed to ensure correct orientation. Constellation ES Serial ATA drives support latching SATA connectors.

24 Constellation ES Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. D

4.4 Drive mounting

You can mount the drive in any orientation using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. See Figure 4 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive:

• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 in (0.76mm) aroun

• Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws.

• The screws should be inserted no more than 0.150 in (3.81mm) into the bottom or side mounting holes.

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

5.0 Serial ATA (SATA) interface

These drives use the industry-standard Serial ATA interface that supports FIS data transfers. It supports ATA programmed input/output (PIO) modes 0–4; multiword DMA modes 0–2, and Ultra DMA modes 0– 6.

For detailed information about the Serial ATA interface, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment” specification.

5.1 Hot-Plug compatibility

Constellation ES Serial ATA drives incorporate co nnecto rs which enab le you to hot plug th ese drive s in accordance with the Serial ATA Revision 2.6 specification. This specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org.

Caution:

The drive motor must come to a complete stop (Ready to spindle stop time indicated in Section 3.7) prior to changing the plane of operation. This time is required to insure data integrity.

5.3.2 Set Features command

This command controls the implementation of various feat ures that the drive support s. When the drive receives this command, it sets BSY, checks the contents of the Features register, clears BSY and generates an interrupt. If the value in the register does not represent a feature that the drive supports, the command is aborted. Power-on default has the read look-ahead and write caching features enabled. The acceptable values for the Features register are defined as follows:

5.3.3 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 susceptible to degradation over time. If self-monitoring determines that a failure is likely, S.M.A.R.T. makes a status report available to the host. Not all failures are predictable. S.M.A.R.T. predictability is limited to the attributes the drive can monitor. For more information on S.M.A.R.T. commands and implementation, see the Draft ATA-5 Standard.

SeaTools diagnostic software activates a built-in drive self-test (DST S.M.A.R.T. command for D4

) that elimi-

nates unnecessary drive returns. The diagnostic software ships with all new drives and is also available at:

http://seatools.sea

gate.com.

This drive is shipped with S.M.A.R.T. features disabled. Y o u must ha ve a recent BIOS or software p ackage that supports S.M.A.R.T. to enable this feature. The table below shows the S.M.A.R.T. command codes that the drive uses.
