Introduction
This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the Medalist 1080sl SCSI hard disc drive. The Medalist 1080sl SCSI is referred to throughout this manual by its model number, ST51080N.
The ST51080N is a high-capacity, high-performance, energy-efficient SCSI drive that comes in the mini 3.5-inch form-factor.
The drive uses a high-performance SCSI-2 interface that supports an asynchronous external transfer rate of up to 5 Mbytes per second and a synchronous external transfer rate of up to 10 Mbytes per second.
The interface is supported with a 128-Kbyte segmented cache and embedded servo technology. The segmented cache aids the flow of read and write data. The embedded servo allows for accurate positioning of the heads over the data and eliminates periodic thermal recalibration to assure data transfer without interruption.
The ST51080N conforms to the standard 3.5-inch footprint but have a 0.75-inch (19 mm) height profile and a 5.0-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 following is a summary of the drive’s features:
Capacity
∙ 1.08 Gbytes formatted
Performance
∙Uses the SCSI-2 interface
∙5,376-RPM rotational speed
∙128-Kbyte segmented buffer
∙12.5-msec average seek time
Acoustics
∙ 30-dBA idle acoustic sound level
Mini 3.5-inch form-factor
∙19-mm height profile
∙Fits standard 3.5-inch footprint

1.5Seek time
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 single-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.

|
Note. Host overhead varies between systems and cannot be specified. Drive internal overhead is measured by issuing a no-motion seek. Drive overhead is typically less than 1.0 msec.
1.5.1Read look-ahead and caching
The drive uses algorithms 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 caching and write caching. These are described in Appendix C.6.
2.All possible one track seeks are divided into the time required to perform those seeks. Only the mechanism time is used; interface overhead is excluded.
3.All possible seeks are divided into the time required to perform those seeks. Only the mechanism time is used; interface overhead is excluded.
4.The average of 1000 full stroke seeks is used in this computation. Only the mechanism time is used; interface overhead is excluded.

Figure 1. Typical startup current profile
1.6.1Power-up sequence
The following typical power-up sequence is provided to assist in evaluating drive performance. This information does not constitute a specification or a performance guarantee.
1.Power is applied to the disc drive.
2.The LED comes on for about 1 second.
3.Depending on whether there is a jumper installed on pins 15 and 16 of the options jumper block (J8) shown in Figure 3 on page 17, either of the following sequences occurs:
a.If a jumper is not installed, the remote start option is not enabled, and the drive begins to spin up as soon as power is applied.
b.If a jumper is installed, the remote start option is enabled, and the drive begins to spin up when the host commands the motor to start.
4.Within 250 msec after power is applied, the drive responds to the Test Unit Ready, Request Sense, Mode Sense and Inquiry commands.
Medalist 1080sl SCSI Product Manual, August 1995 |
7 |
5.The drive begins to lock in speed-control circuits.
6.The actuator lock releases the actuator.
7.The spindle motor reaches operating speed in about 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, there are no speed variations.
8.The drive performs velocity adjustment seeks.
9.The drive seeks track 0 and becomes ready.
1.6.2Power-down sequence
The following typical power-down sequence is provided to assist in evaluating drive performance. This information does not constitute a specification or a performance guarantee.
1.The power cable is unplugged from the drive, or the drive receives a command to spin down.
2.Within 3 seconds after the motor begins to spin down, the actuator lock engages, producing a sound.
3.The spindle stops within 15 seconds, whether the power cable is unplugged from the drive or the drive receives the power-down command.
1.6.3Auto-park
Upon power-down, the read/write heads automatically move to the landing zone. The heads park beyond the maximum data cylinder. When power is applied, the heads recalibrate to track 0.
Caution. Do not move the drive until the spindle motor has come to a complete stop; otherwise, you may damage the drive.
1.7Power management
The drive supports power-management modes that reduce its overall power consumption. The drive automatically changes from one mode to 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 below.
∙Spinup. Spinup is defined as the period during which the spindle is coming up to operating speed. The power consumed in this mode is equivalent to the average power during the first 10 seconds after the drive begins to spin up.
8 |
Medalist 1080sl SCSI Product Manual, August 1995 |
∙Seeking. The servo electronics are active, and the heads are moving to a specific location on the disc. The read/write electronics are powered-down. The power consumed in this mode is equivalent to the average power measured while executing random seeks with a 2- revolution (26.6 msec) dwell between seeks. The drive enters this mode from the Idle mode.
∙Read/Write. The drive is reading or writing. All electronics are active and the heads are on track.
∙Idle. The motor is up to speed and the drive is in track follow mode.
1.7.1Power consumption
Values in the table below were measured at the drive power connector with an RMS DC ammeter. The terminating resistors are disabled, and terminator power is supplied through the SCSI connector. All values are measured 10 minutes after the drive spins up except as noted.

2.0 Hardware and interface
The ST51080N drive uses a SCSI-2 interface that consists of a 9-bit bidirectional bus (8 data bits and 1 parity bit) and 9 control signals. The interface supports multiple initiators, disconnect and reconnect, self-con- figuring host software and logical block addressing.
The interface employs a singled-ended driver/receiver configuration that uses asynchronous or synchronous communication protocols. It supports asynchronous transfer rates of up to 5 Mbytes per second and synchronous transfer rates of up to 10.0 Mbytes per second. The bus protocol supports multiple initiators, disconnect and reconnect, additional messages and 6-byte and 10-byte command descriptor blocks. The bus cable can be up to 6 meters long for standard mode and up to 3 meters long for Fast SCSI mode.
2.1SCSI-2 compatibility
The drive interface is described in the Seagate SCSI-2 Interface Manual, publication number 77738479. The drive complies with the mandatory subset of the ANSI SCSI-2 Interface. The Fast SCSI-2 interface is based on the ANSI Small Computer System Interface-2 (SCSI-2), document number ANSI X3.131-199x (X3T9.2/86-109 Rev. 10h).
2.2Handling and static-discharge precautions
The ST51080N drive uses static-sensitive devices. Avoid damaging the drive and these devices by observing the following standard handling and static-discharge 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 are contributors to electrostatic build-up. Static discharge can 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 top cover.
16 |
Medalist 1080sl SCSI Product Manual, August 1995 |
∙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 ST51080N drive is designed to use singled-ended interface signals. They employ singled-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 drive uses an ANSI SCSI-compat- ible, 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 drive uses an ANSI SCSI singleended 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:
Logic level |
Driver output (x) |
Receiver input (x) |

Caution. Do not connect pin 25 to ground. If you plug in the connector upside down, the terminator power on pin 26 is shorted to ground. This may damage the drive.
2.5Interface cable requirements
A characteristic impedance of 100 ohms +10% is recommended for the unshielded flat or twisted-pair interface cable. However, most available cables have a somewhat lower characteristic impedance. To minimize discontinuities and signal reflections, do not use cables of different impedances in the same bus. Implementation may require tradeoffs in wielding effectiveness, cable length, the number of loads and the transfer rates to achieve satisfactory system operation. If shielded and unshielded cables are mixed within the same bus, the effect of impedance mismatch must be carefully considered. This is especially important for maintaining adequate margin for Fast SCSI transfer rates.
