Medalist Pro 2160N/ 2160WC Product Manual, Rev. A1
Introduction
This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the Medalist
hard disc drives. The Medalist Pro 2160N is referred to in this manual by
its model number ST52160N. This drive comes with the standard 50-pin
interface connector. The Medalist Pro 2160WC is referred to in this
manual by its model number ST52160WC. This drive comes with the
80-pin blindmate single-connector attachment (SCA-2).
Seagate desktop products take a step into the future with the ST52160N
and ST52160WC. These drives feature MR heads and PRM L r ecording
technology.
The Medalist Pro drives uses an UltraSCSI interface. The ST52160N
supports a synchronous external transfer rate of up to 20 Mbytes per
second. The ST52160WC supports a synchronous external transfer rate
of up to 40 Mbytes per second.
These drives have other features that ensure fast data throughput. The
ST52160N uses a 128-Kbyte buffer. The ST52160WC uses a 256-Kbyte
buffer. The adaptable cache aids the flow of read and write data.
Embedded servo technology allows the drives to position the heads for
data retrieval efficiently and accurately while eliminating the periodic
thermal recalibration that can interrupt during data transfers. These
drives also use a 16-bit microprocessor and an intelligent controller that
provides data streaming: direct data transfers between the drive and the
host without microprocessor intervention. This feature allows for a sustained data rate that facilitates video playback and other multimedia
operations.
Pro 2160N and Medalist Pro 2160WC SCSI
The drives conform to the standard 3.5-inch footprint but have a 0.75-inch
(19 mm) height profile and a 5.380-inch depth profile. The lower height
and shorter depth gives the designer or integrator more room for air
circulation, other peripherals or a smaller drive bay.
The SCSI commands the drives support are listed in Section 3.3. on
page 36.

1.0 Specifications summary
1.1Formatted cap acit y
The capacities specified here do not include spare sectors and cylinders.
The media contains 2,000 spare blocks at the end of the volume.
All seek time measurements are taken under nominal conditions of
temperature and voltage with the drive mounted horizontally. In the
following table:
•
Track-to-track
seek time is the average of all possible singl e-track
seeks in both directions.
•
Average/typical
seek time is a true statistical random average of at
least 5,000 measurements of seeks in both directions between random cylinders, less overhead.
•
Full-stroke
seek time is one-half the time needed to seek from logical
block address zero (LBA 0) to the maximum LBA and back to LBA 0.

Medalist Pro 2160N/ 2160WC Product Manual, Rev. A7
1.6 Read lo ok-ahead and caching
The drives use algorithims that improve seek performance by storing
data in a buffer and processing it at a more convenient time. Three
methods are used: read look-ahead, read c aching and write caching.
These are described in Appendix C.6 on page 108.
1.7Start/stop command
If the motor-start option is disabled, the drive is ready within 20 seconds
after power is appli ed. If the motor-start option is enabled, the drive is
ready within 20 seconds after it receives the Motor Start command. If the
drive receives a command to spin down or power is removed, the drive
stops within 15 seconds.

another in response to interface activity. You do not need to change any
parameters or send any special commands to make the drive change
modes. The power-management modes are described as follows:

1.15 FCC verification
The Medalist Pro SCSI interface drives are intended to be contained
solely within a personal computer or s imilar enclosure (not at tached to
an external device). As such, a drive is c onsidered to be a subassembly
even when individually marketed to the customer. As a subassembly, no
Federal Communications Commission authorization, verification or certification of the device is required.
Seagate Technology, Inc. has tested the drive in an enclosure as
described above to ensure that the total assembly (enclosure, disc drive,
motherboard, power supply, etc.) does comply with the limits for a
Class B computing device, pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC
rules. Operation with noncertified assemblies is likely to result in interference to radio and television reception.

try one or more of the following corrective measures:
• Reorient the receiving antenna.
• Move the device to one side or the other of the radio or TV.
• Move the device farther away from the radio or TV.
• Plug the equipment into a diff erent outlet so that the receiver and
computer are on different branch outlets.

2.0 Hardware and interface
The Medalist Pro drives use an UltraSCSI interface. The ST52160N
consists of an 8-bit bidirectional data bus. The ST52160WC consists of
a 16-bit bidirectional data bus. The interface supports multiple initiators,
disconnect and reconnect, self-configuring host software and logical
block addressing.
The UltraSCSI interface uses a singled-ended driver/receiver configuration that uses asynchronous or synchronous communication protocols.
The ST52160N supports asynchronous transfer rates up to 10 Mbytes
per second and synchronous transfer rates up to 20.0 Mbytes per
second. The ST52160WC supports asynchronous transfer rates up to
20 Mbytes per second and synchronous transfer rates up to 40 Mbytes
per second.
2.1SCSI-3 compati bil ity
The drive interface is described in the Seagate SCSI-2 /SCSI-3 Interface
Manual, publication number 77738479. The drives comply with the
mandatory subset of the ANSI SCSI-2 Interface. The Fast SCSI-3
interface is based on the ANSI Small Computer System Interface-2
(SCSI-2), document numberANSI X3.131-1994.
2.2Handling and static-discharge precautions
The drive has static-sensitive devices. Avoid damaging the drive and
these devices by observing t he following standard handl ing and stati cdischarge precautions:
• Keep the drive in its static-shielded bag until you are ready to complete
the installation. Do not attach any cables to the drive while it is in its
static-shielded bag.
• Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist strap, or ground
yourself frequently by touching the metal chassis of a computer that
is plugged into a grounded outlet. Wear a grounded wrist strap
throughout the entire installation procedure.
Wool and synthetic clothes, carpets, plastics and Styrofoam contributes to electrostatic buildup. Static discharge may damage sensitive
components in your drive and computer.
• 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’s top cover.
18Medalist Pro 2160N/2160WC Product Manual, Rev. A
• Always rest the drive on a padded, antistatic surface until you mount
it in the host system.
• 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. If you do, you void the warranty. Some factoryinstalled labels contain information needed to service the drive. Others
are used to seal out dirt and contamination.
2.3Electrical interface
The drives are designed to use single-ended interface signals. They use
single-ended drivers and receivers and active terminator circuitry. Figure
2 shows a single-ended transmitter and receiver without the active
terminator circuitry.
•
Transmitter characteristics.
The drives use an ANSI SCSI-compatible, open-collector, single-ended driver. This driver is capable of
sinking a current of 48 mA with a low-level output voltage of 0.4 volts.
•
Receiver characteristics.
The drives use an ANSI SCSI single-
ended receiver with hysteresis gate or equivalent as a line receiver.
The loss in the cable is defined as the difference between the voltages
of the input and output signals, as shown below:
