2.0 Applicable standards and reference documentation

The drive has been developed as a system peripheral to the highest standards of design and construction. The drive depends upon its host equipment to provide adequate power and environment in order to achieve optimum performance and compliance with applicable industry and governmental regulations. Special attention must be given in the areas of safety, power distribution, shielding, audible noise control, and temperature regulation. In particular, the drive must be securely mounted in order to guarantee the specified performance characteristics.

2.1 Standards

The Hawk 2 Family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this specification and the Seagate SCSI-2/SCSI-3 Interface Specification, P/N 77738479 (Vol. 2, Version 2).

The Hawk 2 Family is a UL Recognized component per UL 1950 and a CSA Certified component per CAN/CSAC22.2 No. 950-M89. It also meets the requirements of DIN VDE 0805/05.90 and EN60950: 1988 (IEC 950).

The Hawk 2, as delivered, is designed for system integration and installation into a suitable enclosure prior to use. As such the Hawk 2 is supplied as a sub-assembly and is not subject to Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations nor the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications. Howev er , the unit has been tested using proper shielding and g rounding and found to be compliant with Class A limits of the FCC Rules and the Regulations of The Canadian Department of Communications.

The physical design characteristics of the Hawk 2 serve to minimize radiation when installed in an enclosure that provides reasonable shielding. As such, the Hawk 2 is capable of meeting the Class B limits of the FCC Rules and Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communication. Howe ver , it is the users responsibility to assure that the Hawk 2 meets the appropriate EMI requirements in their system. Shielded I/O cables may be required if the enclosure does not provide adequate shielding. If the I/O cables are external to the enclosure, shielded cables should be used, with the shields grounded to the enclosure and to the host controller .

Caution. To avoid potential service problems, observe the f ollowing precautions:

The Manufacturers installed labels must not be removed from the drive or covered with additional labels, as they contain information required when servicing the product.

3.0 General description

The drives are a member of a family of low cost, high performance, highly reliable, random access storage devices designed to meet the needs of the OEM marketplace.

The drive records and recovers data on ten 3.7 inch (95 mm) fixed discs. The drive supports the Small Computer System Interface-2 (SCSI-2) as described in the ANSI SCSI and SCSI-

2 Interface Specifications to the extent described in this product specification (Vol. 1), which defines the product performance characteristics of the Hawk 2 Family of drives, and the SCSI-2 Interface Product Manual P/N 77738479 (V ol. 2, Version 2) which describes the general interface characteristics of this and other families of Seagate 3.5inch drives.

The drive interface supports multiple initiators, disconnect/reconnect, self configuring host software and automatic features that relieve the host from the necessity of knowing the physical characteristics of the targets (logical block addressing is used).

The Head/Disc Assembly (HDA) is en vironmentally sealed at the factory. Air recirculates within the HD A through a nonreplaceable filter to maintain a contamination free head/disc environment.

Refer to Figure 3.0-1 for an exploded view of the drive. NEVER disassemble the Head/Disc Assembly (HDA). This exploded view is f or information only. Do not attempt to service items in the sealed environmental enclosure (heads, media, actuator, etc.) as this requires special facilities. The drive contains no par ts replaceable by the user. The drive warranty is voided if the HDA is opened.

The Hawk 2 Family drives use a dedicated landing zone at the innermost radius of the media to eliminate the possibility of destroying or degrading data b y landing in the data zone. The drive automatically goes to the landing zone when the power is removed.

The Hawk 2 Family drives incorporate an automatic shipping lock which prevents potential damage to the heads and discs that result from movement during shipping and handling. The shipping loc k disengages when power is applied to the drive and the head load process begins.

The Hawk 2 Family drives decode Track 0 location from the dedicated servo surface to eliminate mechanical transducer adjustments and related reliability concerns.

The Hawk 2 Family drives use a high performance actuator assembly that consists of a low inertia, balanced, patented, straight arm design that provides excellent performance with minimum power dissipation.

4.5 Installation

For option jumper locations and definitions refer to Figure 10.1-1. Drive default mode parameters are not normally needed for installation. Refer to Section 11.3.2 for default mode parameters if they are needed.

• Ensure that the SCSI ID of the drive is not the same as the host adapter. Most host adapters use SCSI ID 7.

• If multiple devices are on the bus set the drive SCSI ID to one that is not presently used by other devices on

the bus.

• If the drive is the only device on the bus, attach it to the end of the SCSI bus cable. Permanently installed

terminators must be enabled on the drive for ST12400N models using a jumper plug (see Figure 10.1-1), For ST12400ND models, terminators must be installed external to the drive. These external terminators must be provided by the user , systems integ rator or host equipment man uf acturer.

• If the drive is attached to a bus that contains other devices, and the new drive is not attached to the end of the

bus, the terminator enable jumper should be removed from the new drive.

• Set all appropriate option jumpers for desired operation prior to power on. If jumpers are changed after power

has been applied, recycle the drive power to make the ne w settings effective. Installation instructions are provided by host system documentation or with any additionally purchased drive installation software. If necessary see section 14.0 for Seagate support services telephone numbers.

Formatting

• It is not necessary to low level format this drive. The drive is shipped from the factory low level formatted in

512 byte sectors.

• Reformat the drive if one of the following occurs.

- A different sector size is selected.

- A different spare sector allocation scheme is selected.

5.3.1 Notes for sections 5.2 and 5.3.

[1] Execution time measured from receipt of the last Byte of the Command Descriptor Block (CDB) to the re-

quest for a Status Byte Transfer to the Initiator (excluding connect/disconnect).

[2] Maximum times are specified over the worst case conditions of temperature, voltage margins and drive

orientation. When comparing specified seek times, care should be taken to distinguish between typical seek times and maximum seek times. The best comparison is obtained by system benchmark tests conducted under identical conditions. Maxim um times do not include error reco v ery.

[3] T ypical Seek values are measured under nominal conditions of temperature, v oltage, and horizontal orienta-

tion as measured on a representative sample of drives. [4] Assumes no errors and no sector has been relocated. [5] Rate measured from the start of the first sector transfer to or from the Host. [6] Assumes the Initiator immediately sends Write Data to the drive when requested. [7] Command execution requires a data transfer phase (data to or from the disc media). Assumes the initiator is

instantly ready to send/receive the data when the drive generates first request for a data byte transfer, and

assumes an average data transfer rate between the drive and the Initiator as specified in section 5.3. [8] All performance characteristics assume that automatic adaptive temperature compensation is not in process

when the SCSI command is received. A SCSI command being executed is not interrupted for automatic

adaptive temperature compensation. If adaptive thermal compensation is in process when a SCSI command

is received, the command is queued until the compensation for the specific head being compensated com-

pletes. When compensation completes for the specific head being compensated, the first queued SCSI

command is executed. When execution of the first queued command is complete, the drive continues the

compensation for the remaining head(s). The abo ve procedure continues until compensation f or all heads is

completed, or until one minute has elapsed. If the compensation for all heads is not complete in one minute,

the drive performs compensation for all of the remaining heads sequentially without any interruption. The

drive initiates an automatic adaptive temperature compensation cycle approximately one minute after power-

on, and approximately once ever y 10 minutes thereafter. Automatic adaptive temperature compensation

takes less than 0.1% of bus time. Automatic temperature compensation also occurs at other times, but

should be transparent to the user (e.g., during format, Rezero Command, at spindle up, during read error

recovery, and during Reassign Block functions). A Rezero command can be used to reset the thermal com-

pensation timer back to its start so that the host can know when the interruption for thermal compensation will

occur.

5.4 Start/stop time

After DC power has been applied, the drive becomes ready within 25 seconds if the Motor Start Option is disabled (i.e. the motor starts as soon as the power has been applied). During this time the drive responds to some commands over the SCSI interface*. Stop time is less than 20 seconds from removal of DC pow er.

12 Product Manual - Hawk 2 Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. C _________________________________________________________________________________________

If the Motor Start Option is enabled the internal controller accepts the commands listed in the SCSI Interface Product Manual* less than 3 seconds after DC power has been applied. After the Motor Start Command has been received the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 25 seconds. The Motor Start Command can also be used to command the drive to stop the spindle*.

There is no power control switch on the drive.

5.5 Prefetch/multi-segmented cache control

The drive provides prefetch (read look-ahead) and multi-segmented cache control algorithms that in many cases can enhance system performance. “Cache” as used herein refers to the drive buffer storage space when it is used in “cache” oper ations. To select prefetch and cache features the host sends the Mode Select command with the proper values in the applicable bytes in Mode Page 08h*. Prefetch and cache operation are independent features from the standpoint that each is enabled and disabled independently via the Mode Select command. However, in actual operation the prefetch feature overlaps cache operation somewhat as is noted in sections

5.5.1 and 5.5.2. All default cache and prefetch Mode parameter values (Mode Page 08h) for standard OEM versions of this drive

family are given in Tables 11.3.2-1 through 11.3.2-4.

5.5.1 Cache operation

In general, 240 Kbytes of the 256 Kbytes of ph ysical b uffer space in the drive can be used as storage space for cache operations (984 Kbytes of 1 MB f or drives having the optional 1 MB b uff er). The buff er can be divided into logical segments (Mode Select Page 08h, byte 13) from which data is read and to which data is written. The drive maintains a table of logical block disk medium addresses of the data stored in each segment of the buffer. If cache operation is enabled (RCD bit = 0 in Mode Page 08h, byte 2, bit 0. See SCSI Interface Product Manual*), data requested by the host with a Read command is retrieved from the buffer (if it is there), before any disc access is initiated. If cache operation is not enabled, the buffer (still segmented with required number of segments) is still used, but only as circular buff er segments during disc medium read operations (disregarding Prefetch operation for the moment). That is, the drive does not chec k in the buffer segments for the requested read data, but goes directly to the medium to retrieve it. The retrie ved data merely passes through some b uff er segment on the way to the host. All data tr ansfers to the host are in accordance with “buffer-full” ratio rules. See explanations associated with Mod page 02h (disconnect/reconnect control) in the SCSI Interface Product Manual*.

The following is a simplified description of a read operation with cache operation enabled: Case A - A Read command is received and the first logical block (LB) is already in cache:

1. Drive transfers to the initiator the first LB requested plus all subsequent contiguous LB’s that are already in

the cache. This data may be in multiple segments.

2. When the requested LB is reached that is not in any cache segment, the drive fetches it and any remaining

requested LB’s from the disc and puts them in a segment of the cache. The drive transfers the remaining

requested LB’s from the cache to the host in accordance with the disconnect/reconnect specification men-

tioned above.

3. If the prefetch feature is enabled, refer to section 5.5.2 for operation from this point.

_________ *SCSI Interface Product Manual P/N 77738479.

Product Manual - Hawk 2 Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. B 13 ________________________________________________________________________________________

Case B - A Read command requests data, the first LB of which is not in any segment of the cache:

1. The drive fetches the requested LB’ s from the disc and transf ers them into a segment, and from there to the

host in accordance with the disconnect/reconnect specification referred to in case A.

2. If the prefetch feature is enabled, refer to section 5.5.2 for operation from this point. Each buffer segment is actually a self-contained circular storage (wr ap-around occurs), the length of which is an

integer number of disc medium sectors. The wrap-around capability of the individual segments greatly enhances the buffer’s overall performance as a cache storage, allowing a wide range of user selectable configurations, which includes their use in the prefetch operation (if enabled), even when cache operation is disabled (see section 5.5.2). For the Hawk 2 family the but the specification. The size in Kbytes of each segment is reported by the Mode Sense command page 08h, bytes 14 and 15. If a size specification is sent by the host in a Mode Select command (bytes 14 and 15) no new segment size is set up by the drive, and if the “STRICT” bit in Mode page 00h (byte 2, bit 1) is set to one, the drive responds as it does for any attempt to change unchangeable parameters (see SCSI I/O Product Manual*). The Hawk 2 family of drives supports operation of any integer number of segments from 1 to 16. Divide the 245,760 bytes (1,007,616 bytes for the optional 1 MB b uffer) in the b uffer b y the number of segments to get the size (in bytes) of each segment.

number

If the Prefetch feature is enabled, data in contiguous logical blocks on the disc immediately beyond that which was requested by a Read command can be retrieved and stored in the buffer for immediate transfer from the buffer to the host on subsequent Read commands that request those logical blocks (this is true even if “cache” operation is disabled). Though the prefetch operation uses the buff er as a “cache”, finding the requested data in the buffer is a prefetch “hit”, not a “cache” operation “hit”. Prefetch is enabled using Mode Select page 08h, byte 12, bit 5 (Disable Read Ahead - DRA bit). DRA bit = 0 enables prefetch. Since data that is prefetched replaces data already in some buffer segment(s), the host can limit the amount of pref etch data to optimize system performance. The drive never prefetches more logical blocks than the number specified in the prefetch logical blocks ceiling bytes (8 and 9) of Mode page 08h.

During a prefetch operation, the drive crosses a cylinder boundary to fetch more data (DISC) bit is set to one in bit 4 of byte 2 of Mode parameters page 08h.

The operation of the prefetch feature (when enabled by DRA = 0) can be modified to an adaptable prefetch mode, wherein prefetch is disabled as long as two sequential read operations are two sequential Read operations request contiguous logical blocks of data, the drive automatically enables the prefetch feature for the end of the second Read operation. As long as sequential Read operations request contiguous LB’s of data, pref etch operation remains enabled.

If the host uses software interleave, there will not likely ever be two sequential Read operations for contiguous LB’s, so the adaptiv e pref etch feature keeps prefetch disabled, ev en if the DRA bit enab les it. Adaptive prefetch is enabled when the IC (Initiator Control) bit (Mode page 08h, byte 2, bit 7) is set to 0 and when DRA. = 0 (prefetch enabled).

5.6 Caching write data

Write caching is a write operation by the drive that makes use of a drive buff er storage area where the data to be written to the medium is stored in one or more segments while the drive performs the write command.

Write caching is enabled along with read caching. F or write caching, the same buff er space and segmentation is used as set up for read functions. The buff er segmentation scheme is set up or changed independently, having nothing to do with whether or not read and write caching is enabled or disabled. When a write command is issued, the cache is first checked to see if any logical blocks that are to be written are already stored in the cache from a previous read or write command. If there are, the respective cache segments are cleared. The new data is cached for subsequent Read commands.

If the number of write data logical blocks exceeds the size of the segment being written into when the end of the segment is reached, the data is written into the beginning of the same cache segment, overwriting the data that was written there at the beginning of the operation. However, the drive does not overwrite data that has not yet been written to the medium.

Tables 11.3.2-1 through 11.3.2-4 show Mode def ault settings f or the Ha wk 2 f amily of drives .

5.7 Synchronized spindle operation

The synchronized spindles operation allows several drives operating from the same host to operate their spindles at the same synchronized rotational rate. Drives operating in a system in synchronized mode can increase the system capacity and transfer rate in a cost effective manner.

For Hawk 2 models the interface consists of a twisted pair cable that connects the drives in the synchronized system in a daisy-chain configuration as shown in Figure 5.7-1. For models "NC", the reference index signal (SYNC) signal is on pin J1-37 of the 80-pin I/O connector. Master/Sla ve operation is autoarbitr ated by each drive after head load. Alternatively, each drive in the system can be configured by the host (using the Mode Select command Rigid Disc Drive Geometry page*) to operate in either the master or slave mode.

After loading heads, a drive autoarbitrates for occurrences of the Reference Index Signal (REFIND+). If the drive detects no REFIND+ signal on the line, it assumes master status and begins generating the REFIND+ signal. This signal will not be visible on the line until the last drive has powered up, since any unpowered drive holds the line low .

Using Mode Select command, drives can be re-configured by the host to be master or slave any time after the last drive has powered up . The master provides the ref erence signal to which all other drives phase lock, including the master. The master can be a drive or the host computer . All the drives may be configured as slav es, allo wing the host to provide the REFIND+ signal. All drives def ault to the synchroniz ed mode when pow er up , unless J6 pins 5 and 6 are jumpered.

Each drive can be configured (jumpered for the non-synchronized mode in which it ignores any reference signal that might be present. The connection of the synchronized ref erence signal to the host is required only if the host is to provide the reference signal. If the host does not provide the reference signal, the host should not be connected.

The servo/read-write LSI on the master drive provides the reference signal (REFIND+). It is a 90.18 Hz crystal generated signal. The signal is normally false/negated (nominal 0 V) and makes a tr ansition to the true/asserted (nominal +5 V) le vel to indicate the reference position during the re volution period. The trailing (falling) edge of the reference signal is used by the master and the slave drives to phase lock their spindles. A maximum of 10 seconds is allowed for a slave to synchronize with the reference signal. Figure 5.7-2 shows the characteristics of the reference signal. The DLYIND+ signal (available on J7-6. See Figure 5.7-1) of each synchronized drive shall occur 85.2 µsec +20 µsec after the REFIND+ signal. Figure 5.7-2 shows the characteristics of the reference signal.

SCSI Interface Factors

The Rotational Position Locking (RPL) field in byte 17 (bits 0 and 1) of the Rigid Disc Drive Geometry mode parameters page (page 04h) is used for enabling/disabling spindle synchronization mode*. If the target fails to achieve synchronization, it shall create a unit attention to all initiators. The sense ke y shall be set to UNIT A TTENTION and the additional sense code set to RPL STATUS CHANGE. However, in automatic arbitration mode, UNIT ATTENTION and the RPL STATUS CHANGE is not set.

If subsequent to achieving synchronization the target detects a change of synchronization:

1) and, if the logical unit is not presently executing an I/O process for the initiator , the target shall create a unit

attention condition. The sense key shall be set to UNIT ATTENTION and the additional sense code set to

RPL STATUS CHANGE.

2) and, if the logical unit is presently executing an I/O process and no other error occurs, the target shall return

CHECK CONDITION status. The sense key shall be set to RECOVERED ERROR if the target is able to

complete the I/O process or HARDWARE ERROR if the target is unable to complete the I/O process. The

additional sense code is set to RPL STATUS CHANGE. The drive may be operated with a rotational skew when synchronized. The rotational skew is applied in the

retarded direction (lagging the synchronized spindle master control). A rotational offset of up to 255/256 of a revolution lagging ma y be selected. The amount of offset is selected by using the Mode Select command, Rigid Disc Drive Geometry page (page 04), byte 18*. The value in byte 18 (0 - FFh) is the numerator of a fractional multiplier that has 256 as the denominator. F or example , 40h selects 40h/FFh or 1/4 of a revolution lagging sk ew , 80h selects 1/2 revolution lagging sk ew and etc. Since the drive supports all offset values from 0 to 255, values sent by the initiator are not rounded off. The drive translation of the digital offset values to physical rotational offsets results in offset values whose phase error lies within the + or - 20 usec phase error with respect to the supplied 90.18 Hz reference signal.

The drive does not have the capability to adjust the rotational offset v alue requested by the initiator to a ph ysical offset in the drive that corresponds in any way to sector boundaries or changes in ZBR z ones. Such correspondences or changes, if required, must be formulated by the initiator in order f or it to calculate the value of offset it sends to the drive.

6.0 Reliability specifications

The following reliability specifications assume correct host/drive operational interface, including all interface timings, power supply voltages, and environmental requirements.

Seek Errors Less than 1 in 107 seeks Read Error Rates [1]

Unrecovered Data Less than 1 sector in 10

bits transferred

Miscorrected Data Less than 1 sector in 10

bits transferred MTBF 500,000 hours Service Life 5 years Preventive Maintenance None required

Note. [1]Error rate specified with automatic retries and data correction with ECC enabled and all flaws reallo-

cated.

6.1 Error rates

The error rates stated in this specification assume the following:

14 21

a. The drive is operated per this specification using DC Power as defined in this specification (see Section 7.2). b. The drive has been formatted with the SCSI FORMAT commands. c. Errors caused by media defects or host system failures are excluded from error rate computations. Refer to

Paragraph 8.0, Media Characteristics.

6.1.1 Read errors

Before determination or measurement of read error rates: a. The data that is to be used for measurement of read error rates must be verified as being written correctly on

the media.

b. All media defect induced errors must be excluded from error rate calculations.

6.1.2 Environmental interference

When evaluating systems operation under conditions of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), the performance of the drive within the system shall be considered acceptable if the drive does not generate an unrecoverable condition.

An unrecoverab le error, or condition, is defined as one that:

1. Is not detected and corrected by the drive itself;

2. Is not capable of being detected from the error or fault status provided through

the drive or SCSI interface; or

3. Is not capable of being recovered by normal drive or system recovery

procedures without operator intervention.

Product Manual - Hawk 2 Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. B 19 _________________________________________________________________________________________

6.1.3 Write errors

Write errors can occur as a result of media defects, environmental interf erence, or equipment malfunction. Therefore, write errors are not predictable as a function of the number of bits passed.

If an unrecoverable write error occurs because of an equipment malfunction in the drive, the error is classified as a failure affecting MTBF. Unreco v er ab le write errors are those which cannot be corrected within two attempts at writing the record with a read verify after each attempt (excluding media defects).

6.1.4 Seek errors

A seek error is defined as a failure of the drive to position the heads to the addressed track. There shall be no more than one recoverable seek error in 107 physical seek operations. After detecting an initial seek error, the drive automatically reseeks to the addressed track up to 3 times. If a reseek is successful, the Extended Sense reports a seek positioning error (15h), no seek complete error (02h), or track follow error (09h), and the sense key reports a recovered error (1h). If all three reseeks fail, a seek positioning error (15h) is reported with a Medium (3h) or Hardware error (4h) reported in the Sense Key. This is an unrecoverable seek error . Unrecoverab le seek errors are classified as failures for MTBF calculations. Ref. section 5.1.1.2 of SCSI-2 Interface Product Manual P/ N 77738479.

6.2 Reliability and service

6.2.1 Mean time between failure

The production disc drive shall achieve an MTBF of 500,000 hours when operated in a benign atmosphere at an average disc drive ambient temperature of 95°F (35°C) or less as measured per this Product Specification, paragraph 7.4.1. Short term excursions up to the specification limits of the operating environment will not affect MTBF performance. The following expression defines MTBF:

MTBF per measurement period =

Estimated power-on operation hours means power-up hours per disc drive times the total number of disc drives in service. Each disc drive shall have accumulated at least nine months of operation. Data shall be calculated on a rolling average base for a minimum period of six months.

Drive failure means any stoppage or substandard performance caused by drive malfunction.

6.2.2 Preventive maintenance

No routine scheduled preventive maintenance shall be required.

6.2.3 Service life

The drive shall have a useful service life of five years. Depot repair or replacement of major parts is permitted during the lifetime (6.2.4).

Estimated power-on operating hours in the period Number of drive failures in the period

20 Product Manual - Hawk 2 Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. B ________________________________________________________________________________________

6.2.4 Service philosophy

Special equipment is required to repair the drive HDA. In order to achieve the above service life, repairs must be performed only at a properly equipped and staffed service and repair facility . Troubleshooting and repair of PCBs in the field is not recommended, because of the extensive diagnostic equipment required f or eff ectiv e servicing. Also, there are no spare parts available for this drive. Drive warranty is voided if the HDA is opened.

6.2.5 Installation

The drive is designed, manufactured, and tested with a “Plug in and Play” installation philosophy. This philosoph y minimizes the requirements for highly trained personnel to integrate the drive into the OEM’s system, whether in a factory or field environment.

The drive has been low level formatted at the factory and should not be reformatted, unless the sector size or sparing allocation scheme is changed.

6.2.6 Service tools

No special tools are required for site installation or recommended for site maintenance. Refer to Paragraph 6.2.4. The depot repair philosophy of the drive precludes the necessity for special tools. Field repair of the drive is not practical since there are no user purchasable parts in the drive.

6.2.7 Product Warranty

Beginning on the date of shipment to customer and continuing for a period of 5 years, Seagate warrants that each product (including components and sub-assemblies) or spare part that fails to function properly under normal use due to defect in materials on workmanship or due to non conformance to the applicable specifications will be repaired or replaced, at Seagate’s option and at no charge to customer, if returned by customer at customer’s expense to Seagate’ s designated facility in accordance with Seagate’ s W arranty Procedure. Seagate will pay for transporting the repaired or replacement item to customer. For more detailed warranty information refer to the Standard terms and conditions of Purchase for Seagate products.

tor command. [5] See paragraph 7.2.1 “Conducted Noise Immunity”. [6] Instantaneous peaks less than 5 msec. in duration are allowed.

General Notes from Table 7.2-1:

1. At powerup, the motor current regulator limits the 12 volt current to a peak value of less than 2.4 amperes,

although instantaneous peaks may exceed this value. These peaks should measure 5 msec. duration or

less.

2. Operating condition is defined as Random Seek Reads of 64 blocks.

3. Minimum current loading for each supply voltage is not less than 30% of the maximum operating current

shown.

4. The +5 and +12 volt supplies shall employ separate ground returns.

5. Where power is provided to multiple drives from a common supply, careful consideration for individual drive

power requirements should be noted. Where multiple units are powered on simultaneously, the peak starting

current must be available to each device.

22 Product Manual - Hawk 2 Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. B _________________________________________________________________________________________

7.2.1 Conducted noise immunity

Noise is specified as a periodic and random distribution of frequencies covering a band from DC to 10 mHz. Maximum allowed noise values given below are peak to peak measurements and apply at the drive power connector.

+5 V = 150 mV pp from 0 to 100 kHz and 45 mA pp from 100 kHz to 10 mHz. +12 V = 150 mV pp from 0 to 100 kHz and 60 mA pp from 100 kHz to 10 mHz.

7.2.2 Power sequencing

The drive does not require power sequencing. The drive protects against inadvertent writing during power up and down. Daisy-chain operation requires that power be maintained on the terminated drive to ensure proper termination of the peripheral I/O cables.

7.2.3 12 V - current profile

Figure 7.2.2-1 identifies the drive +5 V and +12 V current profile. The current during the various times is as shown:

T - Power is applied to the drive. T1 - Controller self tests are performed. T2 - Spindle begins to accelerate under current limiting after performing internal diagnostics. See Note 1

of T able 7.2-1. T3 - The spindle is up to speed and the Head-Arm restraint is unlocked. T4 - The heads move from the landing zone to the data area. T5 - The adaptive calibration sequence is performed. T6 - Calibration is complete and the drive is ready for reading and writing.

The drive meets all specifications over a 41°F to 122°F (5°C to 50°C) drive ambient temperature range with a maximum gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. The enclosure for the drive should be designed such that the temperatures at the locations specified in Table 7.4.1-1, column 1 are not exceeded. Air flow is needed to achieve these temperature v alues. Operation at case temperatures abov e these values may adv ersely affect the drive's ability to meet specifications.

The MTBF specification for the drive is based on operating at an ambient temperature of 95°F (35°C) with no air flow. Occasional excursions to drive ambient temperatures of 50°C or 5°C may occur without impact to specified MTBF. To achieve the specified MTBF, the values of Table 7.4.1-1 Column 2 must be considered maximum average operating case temperatures. Continual or sustained operation at case temperatures above the values shown in Column 2 may degrade MTBF.

7.4.4 Shock and vibration

Shock and vibration limits specified in this document are measured directly on the drive chassis. If the drive is installed in an enclosure to which the stated shock and/or vibration criteria is applied, resonance’s may occur internally to the enclosure resulting in drive movement in excess of the stated limits. If this situation is apparent, it may be necessary to modify the enclosure to minimize drive movement.

The limits of shock and vibration defined within this document are specified with the drive mounted by any of the four methods shown in Figure 7.4.4-1. Orientation of the side nearest the LED may be up or down, though the figure shows it down.

7.4.4.1 Shock

a. Operating

The drive, as installed for normal operation, shall operate error free while subjected to intermittent shock not

exceeding 10 g’s at a maximum duration of 11 ms (half sinewave). Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z

axis. b. Nonoperating

The limits of nonoperating shock shall apply to all conditions of handling and transportation. This includes

both isolated drives and integrated drives.

The drive subjected to nonrepetitive shock not exceeding 60 g’s at a maximum duration of 11 ms (half

sinewav e) shall not exhibit de vice damage or perf ormance degradation. Shock ma y be applied in the X, Y , or

Z axis. c. Packaged

The drive as packaged in a single or multiple drive pack of gross weight 20 pounds (8.95 kg) or less by

Seagate for general freight shipment shall withstand drop test from heights listed below against a concrete

Figure 7.6-1b. Mounting configuration details for “”NC” model drives

Product Manual - Hawk 2 Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. C 31 __________________________________________________________________________________________

7.6.1 Drive Orientation

The balanced rotary arm actuator design of the drive allows it to be mounted in any orientation. All drive performance characterization, howev er, has been done with the driv e in horizontal (discs level) and v ertical (drive on its side) orientations, and these are the two preferred mounting orientations.

7.6.2 Cooling

Cabinet cooling must be designed by the customer so that the ambient temperature immediately surrounding the drive will not exceed temperature conditions specified in 7.4.1. Specific consideration should be given to make sure adequate air circulation is present around the PCBs to meet the requirements of 7.4.1.

7.6.3 Drive Mounting

When mounting the drive using the bottom holes care must be taken to ensure that the drive is not physically distorted due to a stiff non-flat mounting surface. The allowable mounting surface stiffness is 80 lb/in (14.0 N/ mm). The following equation and paragraph define the allow a ble mounting surface stiffness:

k * x = 80 lb (14.0 N)

where ‘k’ represents the mounting surface stiffness (units of lb/in or N/mm), and, ‘x’ represents the out-of plane mounting surface distortion (units of inches or millimetres). The out-of plane distortion (‘x’) is deter mined by defining a plane with three of the four mounting points fixed and evaluating the out-of-plane deflection of the fourth mounting point when a known force is applied to the fourth point.

8.0 Media characteristics

8.1 Media description

The media used on the drive has a diameter of approximately 95 mm (appro ximately 3.7 inches). The aluminum substrate is coated with a thin film magnetic material, overcoated with a proprietary protective layer for improved durability and environmental protection.

Product Manual - Hawk 2 Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. B 33 ________________________________________________________________________________________

9.0 Defect and error management

The drive, as delivered, complies with this specification. The read error rate and specified storage capacity are not dependent upon use of defect management routines by the host (initiator).

Defect and error management in the SCSI system involves the drive internal defect/error management and SCSI systems error considerations (errors in communications between Initiator and the drive). Tools for use in designing a defect/error management plan are briefly outlined in this section, with references to other sections where further details are given.

9.1 Drive internal defects/errors

Identified defects are recorded on the drive defects list tracks (referred to as the primary or ETF defect list). These known defects are reallocated during the initial drive format operation at the factor y. (See Format Unit command Section 5.2.1.2 in SCSI-2/SCSI-3 Interface Product Manual P/N 77738479*). Data correction by ECC is applied to recover data from additional flaws if the y occur.

Details of the SCSI commands supported by the drive are described in SCSI-2/SCSI-3 Product Interface Manual, P/N 77738479. Also, more information on the drive Error Recovery philosophy is presented in Section 6 of the SCSI-2 Interface Product Manual.

9.2 SCSI systems error considerations

Information on the reporting of operational errors or faults across the interface is given in SCSI-2/SCSI-3 Interface Product Manual. Message Protocol System is described in the SCSI Interface Product Manual. Several of the messages are used in the SCSI systems error management system. The Request Sense command returns information to the host about numerous kinds of errors or faults. The Receive Diagnostic Results reports the results of diagnostic operations performed by the drive.

Status returned by the drive to the Initiator is described in the SCSI-2/SCSI-3 Interface Manual*. Status reporting plays a role in the SCSI systems error management and its use in that respect is described in sections where the various commands are discussed.

Notes for Figure 10.1-1:

[1] Notes explaining the functions of the various jumpers on jumper header connectors J2, J5 and J6 are given

below in left to right order of jumper position. The term “default” means as standard OEM units are configured when shipped from factory . “Off” means no jumper is installed; “On” means a jumper is installed. “Off” or “On” underlined is factory default condition.

[2] The PCB on “NC” models does not have connector J5, and has a single 80 pin combined SCSI I/O and DC

power connector instead of the normal 50 pin SCSI I/O and 4 pin DC power connectors. Included among the 80 pins are the SCSI ID, Motor Start and Delayed Motor Start select functions, and the synchronous spindle master sync signal and the remote LED signals. Do not use J2 and J6 for these five functions if the host uses the ones included in the 80 pin connector. See Table 11.6.3-1c for a list of pin numbers vs. signals for the 80 pin connector.

J2 Jumper Installation Jumper Function Description

RES Off/On Reserved. Default is no jumper installed.

DS ME

Off Off Spindle starts immediately after power up - Default setting. Off On Drive spindle does not start until Start Unit command received from host. On Off Spindle Startup is delayed by SCSI ID times 12 seconds after power is applied, i.e., drive 0

spindle starts immediately when DC power connected, drive 1 starts after 12 second delay , drive 2 starts after 24 second delay , etc.

On On Drive spindle starts when Start Unit command received from host. Delayed start feature is over-

ridden and does not apply when ME jumper is installed.

On Entire drive is write protected. Off Drive is not write proteccted. Default is no WP jumper installed.

On Parity checking and parity error reporting by the drive is enabled. Off Drive does not report result of parity checking to host. Default is no PE jumper installed.

On With the jumper installed, the On-board (non-removable) terminator circuits are enabled (con-

nected to the I/O lines). Default is jumper installed.

Off Terminator circuits not connected to I/O lines.

TP TP

Off Off No terminator power is connected to drive terminators or SCSI bus I/O pin 26. On Off Drive supplies its own teminator power only. Jumper on this position is factory default for "N"

models only.

Off On Drive supplies power to I/O pin 26 of SCSI bus; none to internal terminators. When drives have

differential I/O circuits, a jumper on the right TP position is needed to po wer external terminators (see system documentation). The ST12400ND drive has differential I/O circuits which have no terminator circuits on the drive. The ST12400NC drive has no provisions for terminators and no provisions for terminator power in the 80 pin I/O connector. Factory default for "ND" models only.

On On Drive supplies terminator power to itself (internal connection) and to I/O pin 26 of SCSI bus. This

is a legal jumper setting.

10.2 Synchronized spindles interface

The Synchronized Spindles Interface (SSI) allows several drives operating from the same host to operate their spindles at a synchronized rotational rate. Details of the electrical and physical interfaces follow in paragraphs

10.2.1 and 10.2.1.2 and 10.2.1.3. The system operation is described in paragraph 5.7.

10.2.1 Electrical description

The electrical interface consists of one digital TTL ref erence inde x signal and ground. The ref erence index signal (REFIND+) is an output if the drive is configured as a master and is an input otherwise. The reference index signal is connected from drive to drive in a daisy-chain fashion as shown in Figure 5.7-1.

10.2.1.1 Drivers and receivers

Figure 10.2.1-1 shows a diagram of the driver/receiver circuit. The driver circuits have the following electrical specifications.

10.3 Grounding

Signal ground (PCB) and HDA ground are connected together in the ST12400 drive and cannot be separated by the user. The equipment in which the drive is mounted is connected directly to the HDA and PCB with no electrically isolating shock mounts. If it is desired for the system chassis to not be connected to the HDA/PCB ground, the systems integrator or user must provide a nonconductive (electrically isolating) method of mounting the drive in the host equipment.

The interface physical characteristics for the “NC” models are given in Figure 11.6.3-1b and in Table 11.6.3-1c. The “sync”” signal is included among the 80 pins of the I/O connector.

11.3.1.2 Inquiry Vital Product data

Instead of the standard Inquiry data shown in Table 11.3.1-1, the initiator can request several Vital Product data pages by setting the Inquiry command EVPD bit to one. The SCSI-2, Version 2 Interface Product Manual P/N 77738479, Section 5.1.1.3.1 lists the Vital Product Data pages supported and describes their formats. A separate Inquiry command must be sent to the drive for each Vital Product data page the initiator wants the drive to send back.

Product Manual - Hawk 2 Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. B 43 ________________________________________________________________________________________

11.3.2 Mode Sense data

The Mode Sense command provides a means for the drive to report its operating parameters to the initiator . The drive maintains four sets of Mode parameters, Default values, Saved values, Current values and Changeable values.

Default values are hard coded in the drive firmware that is stored in flash E-PROM nonvolitile memory on the drive PCB. Default v alues can be changed only by downloading ne w firmware into the flash E-PROM. An initiator can request and receive from the drive a list of Default values and use those in a Mode Select command to set up new Current and Saved values.

Saved values are stored on the disk media using a Mode Select command. Only parameter values that are allowed to be changed can be changed by this method. See “Changeable values” defined below. Parameters in the Saved values list that are not changeable by the Mode Select command get their values from the Default values storage.

Current values are volitile values currently being used by the drive to control its operation. A mode Select command can be used to change these values (only those that are changeable). Originally, they are installed from Saved or Default values after a power on reset, hard reset, or Bus Device Reset message.

Changeable values f orm a bit mask, stored in non-volatile memory , that dictates which of the Current values and Saved values can be changed by a Mode Select command. A “one” allows a change to a corresponding bit; a “zero” allows no change. For example , in Table 11.3.2-1a refer to Mode page 01, in the first row entitled “CHG”. These are hex numbers representing the changeable values for Mode page 01. Note in columns 1 and 2 (bytes 00 and 01), there is 00h, which indicates that in bytes 00 and 01 none of the bits are changeable. Note also that bytes 04, 05, 06 and 07 are not changeable, because those fields are all zeros. In bytes 02, hex value FF equates to the binary pattern 1111 1111. If there were a zero in any bit position in the field, it would mean that bit is not changeable. However, bits 7 - 0 are changeable, because those bits are all ones. In this par ticular case, it indicates 8 error recovery control bits are all changeable. FF in column 4 indicates all bits in byte 3 are changeable.

The Changeable values list can only be changed by downloading new firmware into the flash E-PROM. On drives requiring unique Saved values, the required unique Saved values are stored into the Saved values

storage location on the media prior to shipping the drive. Some drives may have unique firmware with unique Default values also.

On standard OEM drives the Saved values are taken from the Default values list and stored into the Saved values storage location on the media prior to shipping.

When a drive is powered up, it takes Saved values from the media and stores them to the Current values storage in volatile memory. It is not possible to change the Current values (or the saved values) with a Mode Select command before the drive is up to speed and is “ready .” An attempt to do so results in a “Chec k Condition” status being returned. A subsequent Request Sense command returns Sense Key 02 with an error code of 04 02, meaning “drive not ready, initializing command required.

44 Product Manual - Hawk 2 Family SCSI-2 (Volume 1), Rev. B ________________________________________________________________________________________

The following tables list the values of the data bytes returned by the drive in response to the Mode Sense command pages for SCSI-1 and SCSI-2 implementation (see SCSI Interface Product Manual, P/N 77738479).

DEFINITIONS: DEF = Default value. Standard drives are shipped configured this way. Not changeable via Mode

Select command.

CHG = Changeable bits; indicates current and saved values are changeable.

11.6.2.1 Physical description

The "N" and "ND" model drives may be daisy-chained together or with other compatible SCSI devices. "N" and "ND" models use a common cable. Both ends of the cable must be terminated. The model ST12400N and ST12400NC drives implement single ended drivers and receivers. The model ST12400ND drive implements differential drivers and receivers. All signals are common between all SCSI devices. The drive may be daisychained only with SCSI devices having the same type drivers and receivers. Devices having single ended interface circuits cannot be on the same daisy-chain with devices ha ving differential interf ace circuit. A maximum of 8 SCSI devices (including the Host) may be daisy-chained together. The SCSI Devices at both ends of the daisychain are to be terminated. Intermediate SCSI devices shall not be terminated (see Figure 11.6.3-2). Remove the terminator enble jumper TE, not the terminator power source selector jumper TP (Figure 10.1-1).

"NC" model drives plug into PCB or bulkhead connectors in the Host. They may be connected in a daisy-chain b y the host backplane wiring or PCB circuit runs that have adequate DC current carrying capacity to support the number of drives plugged into the PCB or bulkhead connectors. A single 80 pin I/O connector cannot support the DC current needs of several drives, so no daisy-chain cables should be used. A single drive connected via a cable to a host 80 pin I/O connector is not recommended.

11.6.2.2 Cable requirements ("N" and "ND" models only)

11.6.2.2.1 Single ended I/O circuits ("N" model)

The maximum total cable length for use with model "N" drives (single ended I/O driver and receiver circuits) shall be 6 metres (19.7 ft.) when operating at line data transfer rates of 5 Mbytes/sec or less, and 3 metres (9.85 ft.) when operating at transfer rates greater than 5 Mb ytes/sec (F AST SCSI). A stub length of no more than 0.1 metre (0.33 ft.) is allowed off the mainline interconnection with any connected equipment. An ideal impedance match with cable terminators implies a cable characteristic impedance of 132 ohms (see 11.6.2.2.3). Single ended I/O pin assignments are shown in Table 11.6.3-1a and 11.6.3-1c.

11.6.2.2.2 Differential I/O circuits ("ND" model)

The maximum total cable length f or use with drives having diff erential I/O drivers and receiver circuits shall be 25 metres (82 ft.). A stub length of no more than 0.2 metre (0.66 ft.) is allo wed off the mainline interconnection with any connected equipment. An ideal impedance match with cable terminators implies a cable characteristic impedance of 122 ohms (see 11.6.2.2.3). Diff erential I/O pin assignments are sho wn in Table 11.6.3-1b.

11.6.2.2.3 General cable characteristics

In general, cables having the characteristic impedance’s given in 11.6.2.2.1 and 11.6.2.2.2 are not available; howev er , impedance’s that are some what lower are satisf actory . A characteristic impedance of 100 ohm +10% is recommended for unshielded flat or twisted pair ribbon cable. Howev er , most a v ailable cab les hav e a some what lower characteristic impedance. To minimize discontinuities and signal reflections, cables of different impedance’ s should not be used in the same bus. Implementations may require tradeoffs in shielding effectiveness, cable length, the number of loads, transfer rates, and cost to achieve satisfactory system operation. If shielded and unshielded cables are mixed within the same SCSI bus, the effect of impedance mismatch must be carefully considered. Proper impedance matching is especially important in order to maintain adequate margin at FAST SCSI transfer rates.

11.6.4 Electrical description

Model ST12400N uses single ended interface signals. These signals must be terminated with 110 ohm active termination circuits at each end of the total cable. The terminators are enabled (or disabled) by installing (or removing) jumper plug TE. See Figure 10.1-1. Single Ended circuits use open collector or three state drivers. See Figure 11.6.4-1 and 11.6-1. The model ST12400NC uses single ended interface signals, but there are no pro visions for terminators on the drive.

The model ST12400ND uses differential interface signals and each of these m ust be terminated at each end of the total cable with 330 ohms to +5 V and 330 ohms to g round with 150 ohms between each diff erential pair. All I/O circuits are open collector, three state drivers. See Figure 11.6.4-2 for circuit drawing. Differential I/O drives are shipped without terminators. These drives have no provisions for adding terminators on the PCB. On these drives some method of external termination must be provided by the user Systems Integrator or host equipment manufacturer .

11.6.4.1 Single ended drivers/receivers

Typical single ended driver and receiver circuits for the ST12400N and ST12400NC are shown in Figure 11.6.4-

1. Terminator circuits shown (Note [1]) are to be enabled only when the disc drive is first or last in the daisy-chain. See paragraph 11.6.4.3.

T ransmitter characteristics

Single ended 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 volt.

Receiver characteristics

Single ended drives use an ANSI SCSI single ended receiver with h ysteresis gate or equivalent as a line receiver .

11.6.4.2 Differential drivers/receivers

Typical differential driver and receiver circuits used by the model ST12400ND are sho wn in Figure 11.6.4-2. The drive has no provisions for terminator circuits on differential I/O drives.

Differential signals

All differential interface signals consist of two lines denoted +SIGNAL and -SIGNAL. A signal is true when +SIGNAL is more positive than -SIGNAL, and a signal is false when -SIGNAL is more positive than +SIGNAL. All assigned signals shall be terminated at each end of the cable as shown in Figure 11.6.4-2. Drive user, Systems integrator or Host equipment manufacturer must provide some external means of termination.

Output characteristics

Each signal driven by differential interf ace driv es shall hav e the f ollo wing output characteristics when measured at the disc drive SCSI connector:

Low-level output voltage* = 2.0 V maximum at Low-level output current = 55 milliamps. High-level output voltage* = 3.0 V minimum at High-level output current = -55 milliamps Differential voltage = 1.0 V minimum with common-mode voltage ranges from -7 V dc to +12 V dc.

*These voltages shall be measured between the output terminal and the SCSI device’s logic ground reference.

The output characteristics shall additionally conform to EIA RS-485-1983.

Input characteristics

Each signal received by diff erential interface drives shall ha ve the follo wing input characteristics when measured at the disc drive SCSI connector:

Input current on either input = +2.0 milliamps maximum (includes both receivers and passive drivers). This requirement shall be met with the input voltage varying between -7 V dc and +12 V dc, with po wer on or off ,

and with the hysteresis equaling 35 mv, minimum. The input characteristics shall additionally conform to EIA RS-485-1983.

11.6.4.3 Terminator requirements

Internal disc drive I/O termination (provided only in single ended I/O model ST12400N drives) consists of active circuits in an LSI module that is permanently mounted on the PCB. All single initiator/single target (nondaisychain) applications require that the Initiator and disc drive be terminated. Daisy-chain applications require that only the units at each end of the daisy-chain be terminated. All other peripherals on the chain must not be terminated. (See Figure 11.6.3-2).

Note. Remove drive terminator enabling jumper TE (see Figure 10.1-1) where terminators are not required.

Removal of terminator power source selection jumper TP (see Figure 10.1-1) does not disconnect the terminator resistors from the circuit.

It is highly recommended that ANSI SCSI-2 Standard's Alternative 2 termination (active termination) be used for single-ended ST12400N and ST12400NC applications, especially if the bus will be operated at transfer rates above 5 Mbytes/sec. The ST12400N provides on-board activ e termination that can be disabled b y rmoval of the enable jumper TE (see Figure 10.1-1).

Note. Active terminators are highly recommended for use in the daisy-chain as described above. Active and

passive terminators should not be mixed on the same SCSI bus.

Differential I/O ST12400ND does not have terminators on the PCB. The user, systems integrator or host equipment manufacturer must provide a terminator arrangement external to the drive. Model ST12400NC does not have terminators on the drive PCB and there is no provision f or terminator power in the 80 pin I/O connector.

11.6.4.4 Terminator power

The drive may be configured to accept terminator power from pin 26 of the SCSI Bus, to supply power to the SCSI bus or to provide terminator power for internal termination circuits from the drive power connector. See Figures

10.1-1 and 11.6-1. The drive can pro vide power both to its own terminators and to the SCSI Bus terminator power line (Pin 26) if both “TP” jumpers are on (models ST12400N/ND only).

SCSI devices providing terminator power (TERMPWR)* shall have the following characteristics:

V TERM = 4.50 V to 5.25 V 800 mA min source drive capability

1.0 A maximum

*See Figure 10.1-1 for configuration details.

Notes.

[1] See SCSI-2 Interface Manual P/N 77738479 (called Volume II), section 4.5 [2] Maximum SCSI asynchronous interface transfer rate is given in section 5.3. [3] Synchronous Transfer Period is determined by negotiations between an Initiator and a Drive. The Drive is

capable of setting periods as given in section 11.5. See also sections 3.1.5.2 and 3.5.3.2 of the SCSI-2 Interface Product Manual (P/N 77738479) for a description of synchronous data transfer operation.

General timing diagrams for SCSI interface operation are shown in the SCSI-2/SCSI-3 Interface Product Manual P/N 77738479, Section 4.5. The specific timing values that apply to this drive are listed in T a b le 11.7-1.
