Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

2.0 Applicable standards and reference documentat ion

The drive has been d evelope d as a system p eriphe ral to the hig hest st and ards of desig n and constru c tion. 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, shieldi ng, au dible noi se con trol, an d tempe ratu re reg ulation. In particular, the drive must be securely mounted in order to guarantee the specified performance characteristics. Mounting by bottom holes must meet the requirements of Section 8.4.

2.1 Standards

The Cheetah 15K.5 FC family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this manual and the Seagate Fibre Channel Interface Manual, part number 100293070.

The Cheetah 15K.5 FC disc drive is a UL recognized component per UL1950, CSA certified to CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 950-95, and VDE certified to VDE 0805 and EN60950.

2.1.1 Electromagnetic compatibility

The drive, as delivered, is designed for system integration and installation into a suitable enclosure prior to use. As such the drive is supplied as a subassembly and is not subject to Subpart B of Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations nor the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

The design characteristics of the drive serve to minimize radiation when installed in an enclosure that provides reasonable shield ing. As such, t he dr ive is cap able of me eting th e C lass B l imit s of the FC C Rules a nd R eg ulations of the Canadian Department of Communications when properly packaged. However, it is the user’s responsibility to assure that the drive 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 cabl es sh ould be u sed, wi th the shields gr ounde d to the enclosur e and to the host co ntroller.

2.1.1.1 Electromagn etic susc ept ibili ty

As a component assembly, the drive is not required to meet any susceptibility performance requirements. It is the responsibility of those integrating the drive within their systems to perform those tests required and design their system to ensure that equipment operating in the same system as the drive or external to the system does not adversely affect the performance of the drive. See Table 2, DC power requirements.

3.0 General description

Cheetah 15K.5 FC drive s provide high perfor man ce, high cap acity dat a storage for a variety of system s including engineering workstations, network servers, mainframes, and supercomputers. Cheetah 15K.5 FC drives support 4-Gbit Fibre Channel which can transfer data at up to 800 Mbytes per second and 1600 Mbytes per second in dual-loop configurations.

Cheetah 15K.5 FC drives support the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) and SCSI Fibre Channel Protocol as described in the ANSI specifications, this document, and the Fibre Channel Interface Manual which describes the general interface characteristics of this drive. Cheetah 15K.5 FC drives are classified as intelligent peripherals and provide level 2 conformance (highest level) with the ANSI SCSI-1 standard.

Never disassemble the HDA and do not attempt to service items in the sealed enclosure (heads, media, actuator, etc.) as this requires special facilities. The drive does not contain user-replaceable parts. Opening the HDA for any reason voids your warranty.

Cheetah 15K.5 FC drives use a dedicated landing zone at the innermost radius of the media to eliminate the possibility of destroying or degrading data by landing in the data zone. The heads automatically go to the landing zone when power is removed from the drive.

An automatic shipping lock prevents potential damage to the heads and discs that results from movement during shipping and handling. The shipping lock disengages and the head load process begins when power is applied to the drive.

The drives also use a high-performance actuator assembly with a low-inertia, balanced, patented, straight arm design that provides excellent performance with minimal power dissipation.

3.5 Formatted ca pacities

St an dard OEM mo del s ar e formatte d to 512 bytes per block. The sector size is selectab le at fo rma t ti me. Users having the necessary equipment may modify the data block size before issuing a format command and obtain different formatted capacities than those listed.

To provide a stable target capacity environment and at the same time provide users with flexibility if they choose, Seagate recommends product planning in one of two modes:

1. Seagate designs specify cap acity po i nt s at cert ain sect or si zes tha t Seagate gu ara ntees cur ren t and futu re products will meet. We recommend customers use this capacity in their project planning, as it ensures a stable operating point with backward and forward compatibility from generation to generation. The current guaranteed operating points for this product are:

2. Seagate drives also may be used at the maxi mu m available cap acity at a given secto r size, but the excess capacity above the gu aran teed leve l w ill va ry betwe en 10K an d 15K fam ilie s and fr om g ener ation to gener ation, depending on how each sector size actually formats out for zone frequencies and splits over servo bursts. This added capacity potential may range from 0.1 to 1.3 percent above the guaranteed capacities listed above. Using the drives in this manner gives the absolute maximum capacity potential, but the user must determine if the extra capacity potential is useful, or whether their assurance of backward and forward compatibility takes precedence.

3.5.1 Programmable drive capacity

Using the Mode Select command, the drive can change its capacity to something less than maximum. See the Mode Select Parameter List table in the SCSI Comma nds Refere nce Manu al . Refer to the P aram eter list block descriptor number of blocks field. A value of zero in the number of blocks field indicates that the drive shall not

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

change the capacity it is currently formatted to have. A number in the number of blocks field that is less than the maximum number of LBAs changes the total drive capacity to the value in the block descriptor number of blocks field. A value greater than the maximum number of LBAs is rounded down to the maximum capacity.

3.6 Factory-installed accessor ies

OEM standard drives are shipped with the Cheetah 15K.5 FC Installation Guide (part number 100384774) and the Safety and Regulatory Agency Specifications, part number 75789512 (unless otherwise specified).

3.7 Factory-installed options

You may or der the following items which are incorporated at the manufacturing facility during production or packaged before shipping. Some of the options available are (not an exhaustive list of possible options):

• Other capacities can be ordered depending on sparing scheme and sector size requested.

4.3 Start/stop time

If the Motor Start option is disabled, the drive becomes ready within 20 seconds after DC power is applied. If a recoverable error conditio n i s detect ed dur ing the sta rt seq uence, the dr i ve execu tes a re cover y proce dure and the time to become ready may exceed 20 seconds. During spin up to ready time, the drive responds to some commands over the FC interface in less than 3 seconds after application of power. Stop time is 30 seconds (maximum) from removal of DC power.

If the Motor Start option is enabled, the internal controller accepts the commands listed in the Fibre Channel Interface 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 w ithin 20 second s (excl uding the err or reco very procedure). 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.

4.4 Prefetch /m ulti-segm en te d cache cont ro l

The drive provides a prefetch (read look-ahead) and multi-segmented cache control algorithms that in many cases can enhance system performance. Cache refers to the drive buffer storage space when it is used in cache operations. To select this feature, the host sends the Mode Select command with the proper values in

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

the applicable bytes in page 08h. Prefetch and cache operations are independent features from the standpoint that each is enabled and disabled independently using the Mode Select command; however, in actual operation, the prefetch feature overlaps cache operation somewhat as described in sections 4.5.1 and 4.5.2.

All default cache and prefetch mode parameter values (Mode Page 08h) for standard OEM versions of this drive family are given in Table 18.

4.5 Cache operation

Note. Refer to the Fibre Ch anne l Interface Manual for more detail concerning the cache bits.

Of the 16 Mbytes physical buffer sp ace in the drive, approximately 13,0 00 kbytes can be used as a cache. The buffer is divided into logical segments from which data is read and to which data is written.

The drive keeps track of the logical block addresses of the data stored in each segment of the buffer. If the cache is enabled (see RCD bit in the FC Interface Manual ), data requested by the host with a read command is retrieved from the buf fe r, if possible, before any disc access is initiated . If cach e oper ation is not enabled, the buffer is still used, but only as circular buffer segments during disc medium read operations (disregarding Prefetch operation for the moment). That is, the drive does not check in the buffer segments for the requested read data, but goes directly to the medium to retrieve i t. The retrieved data merely passes through some buffer segment on the way to the host. All data transfers to the host are in accordance with buffer-full ratio rules. See the explanation p rovide d with th e i nfor matio n abo ut Mo de P age 02h ( disconne ct/reconnect control) in the Fibre Channel Interface Manual.

The following is a simplified description of the prefetch/cache operation: Case A—read command is received and all of the requested logical blocks are already in the cache:

1. Drive transfers the requested logical blocks to the initiator. Case B—A Read command requests data, and at least one requested logical block is not in any segment of

the cache:

1. The drive fetches the requested logical blocks from the disc and transfers them into a segment, and then

from there to the host in accordance with the Mode Select Disconnect/Reconnect parameters, page 02h.

2. If the prefetch feature is enabled, refer to section 4.5.2 for operation from this point. Each cache segment is actually a self-contained circular buffer whose length is an integer number of logical

blocks. The drive dynamically creates and removes segments based on the workload. The wrap-around capability of the individual segments greatly enhances the cache’s overall performance.

Note. The size of each segment is not reported by Mode Sense command page 08h, bytes 14 and 15.

The value 0XFFFF is always reported regardless of the actual size of the segment. Sending a size specification using the Mode Select command (bytes 14 and 15) does not set up a new segment size. 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 an unchangeable parameter.

4.5.1 Caching write data

Write caching is a write operation by the drive that makes use of a drive buffer storage area where the data to be written to the medium is stored while the drive performs the Write command.

If read caching is enabled ( RCD=0), then data written to the medium is retained in the cache to be made available for future read cache hits. The same buffer space and segmentation is used as set up for read functions. The buffer segmentation scheme is set up or changed independently, having nothing to do with the state of RCD. When a write command is issued, if RCD=0, 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.

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

If the number of write dat a logical blo cks excee d the size o f the segm ent b eing wr itten into, wh en th e en d of the segment is reached, the data is written into the b eginni n g of the sa me cache segme nt, 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.

If write caching is enabled (WCE=1), then the drive may return Good status on a write command after the data has been transferred into the cache, but before the data has been written to the medium. If an error occurs while writing the data to the medium, and Good status has already been returned, a deferred error will be generated.

The Synchronize Ca che command may be used to force the drive to write all cached write data to the medi um. Upon completion of a Synchronize Cache command, all data received from previous write commands will have been written to the medium.

Table 18 shows the mode default settings for the drive.

4.5.2 Prefetch oper ation

If the Prefetch feature is enabled, data in contiguous logical blocks on the disc immediately beyond that which was requested by a Read command are 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 buffer as a cache, finding the requested data in the buffer is a prefetch hit, not a cache operation hit.

To enable Prefetch, use Mode Select page 08h, byte 12, bit 5 (Disable Read Ahead - DRA bit). DRA bit = 0 enables prefetch.

The drive does not use the Max Prefetch field (bytes 8 and 9) or the Prefetch Ceiling field (bytes 10 and 11). When prefetch (read look-ahead) is enabled (enabled by DRA = 0), the drive enables prefetch of contiguous

blocks from the disc when it senses that a prefetch hit will likely occur. The drive disables prefetch when it decides that a prefetch hit is not likely to occur.

5.0 Reliability specifications

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

Seek error rate: Read Error Rates

Recovered Data Unrecovered Data Miscorrected Data

Interface error rate:

Annualized Failure Rate (AFR): 0.62% Preventive maintenance: None required

1. Error rate specified with automatic retries and data correction with ECC enabled and all flaws reallocated.

5.1 Error rates

The error rates stated in this manual assume the following:

• The drive is operated in accordance with this manual using DC power as defined in paragraph 6.2, "DC

power requirements."

• Errors caused by host system failures are excluded from error rate computations.

• Assume random data.

• Default OEM error recovery settings are applied. This includes AWRE, ARRE, full read retries, full write

retries and full retry time.

Less than 10 errors in 108 seeks

Less than 10 errors in 1012 bits transferred (OEM default settings) Less than 1 sector in 1016 bits transferred Less than 1 sector in 1021 bits transferred Less than 1 error in 1012 bits transferred with minimum receive eye.

Less than 1 error in 1014 bits transferred with typical receive eye. See Section 9.6.4, "FC Differential input." on page 72

5.1.1 Recoverable Errors

Recovereable errors are those detected and corrected by the drive, and do not require user intervention. Recoverable Data errors will use correction, although ECC o n-the-fly is not considered fo r purposes o f recov-

ered error specifications. Recovered Data error rate is determined using read bits transferred for recoverable errors occurring during a

read, and using write bits transferred for recoverable errors occurring during a write.

5.1.2 Unrecoverable Errors

Unrecoverable Data Errors (Sense Key = 03h) are specified at less than 1 sector in error per 1016 bits transferred. Unrecoverable Data Errors resulting from the same cause are treated as 1 error for that block.

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

5.1.3 Seek errors

A seek error is defined as a failure of the drive to position the heads to the addressed track. After detecting an initial seek error, the drive automatically performs an error recover y process. If the error recover y process fail s, a seek positioning error (Error code = 15h or 02h) will be reported with a Hardware error (04h) in the Sense Key. Recoverable seek errors are specified at Less than 10 errors in 108 seeks. Unrecoverable seek errors (Sense Key = 04h) are classified as drive failures.

5.1.4 Interface errors

An interface error is defined as a failure of the receiver on a port to recover the data as transmitted by the device port connected to the receiver. The error may be detected as a running disparity error, illegal code, loss of word sync, or CRC error. The total error rate for a loop of devices is the sum of the individual device error rates.

5.2 Reliability and service

You can enhance the reliability of Chee ta h K15.4 disc drives by ensuring that the drive recei ve s adeq uate cool ing. Section 6.0 provides temperature measurements and other information that may be used to enhance the service life of the drive. Section 8.2 provides recommended air-flow information.

5.2.1 Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

These drives shal l ach ieve an A FR of 0.62 % ( MTBF of 1,400,000 hours) when operated i n an en vironm ent that ensures the HDA case temperatures do not exceed the values specified in Section 6.4.1.

Operation at case temperatures outside the specifications in Section 6.4.1 may increase the AFR (decrease the MTBF). AFR and MTBF statistics are poplulation statistics that are not relevant to individual units.

AFR and MTBF specifications are based on the following assumptions for Enterprise Storage System environments:

• 8,760 power-on hours per year

• 250 average on/off cycles per year

• Operating at nominal voltages

• System provides adequate cooling to ensure the case temperatures specified in Section 6.4.1 are not exceeded.

5.2.2 Preventive mainte nan ce

No routine scheduled preventive maintenance is required.

5.2.3 Hot plugging the drive

Inserting and removing the drive on the FC-AL will interrupt loop operation. The interruption occurs when the receiver of the next device in the loop must synchronize to a different input signal. FC error detection mechanisms, character sync, running disp a rity, word sync, and CRC are able to detect any er ror. Recovery is initiated based on the type of error.

The disc drive defaults to the FC-AL Monitoring state, Pass-through state, when it i s powered-on by switching the power or hot plugged. The control line to an optional port bypass circuit (external to the drive), defaults to the Enable Bypass state. If the bypass circuit is present, the next device in the loop will continue to receive the output of the previous device to the newly inserted device. If the bypass circuit is not present, loop operation is temporarily disrupted until the next device starts receiving the output from the newly inserted device and regains synchronization to the new input.

The Pass-through state is disabled while the drive perfo rms self test of the FC interface. The control line for an external port bypass circuit remains in the Enable Bypass state while self test is running. If the bypass circuit is present, loop oper ation m ay con tinue. If the byp ass circ uit is not pres ent, loo p ope ration will be h alted while the self test of the FC interface runs.

When the self test completes successfully, the control line to the bypass circuit is disabled and the drive enters the FC-AL Initializing st a te. The receiver on the ne xt device i n the loo p must synch ronize t o outpu t of the newly inserted drive.

If the self-test fails, the control line to the bypass circuit remains in the Enable Bypass state. Note. It is the responsibility of the systems integrator to assure that no temperature, energy, voltage haz-

ard, or ESD potential hazard is presented during the hot connect/disconnect operation. Discharge the static electricity from the drive carrier prior to inserting it into the system.

5.2.4 S.M.A.R.T.

S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. This technology is intended to recognize conditions that indicate imminent drive failure and is designed to provide sufficient warning of a failure to allow you to back up the data before an actual failure occurs.

Note. The drive’ s f irmwar e moni tor s specific attr ibutes for degr adatio n ove r tim e b ut can ’ t predi ct in sta nt a-

neous drive failures.

Each monitored attribute has been selected to monitor a specific set of failure conditions in the operating performance of the drive and the thresholds are optimized to minimize “false” and “failed” predi ctions.

Controlling S.M.A.R.T.

The operating mode of S.M.A.R. T. is controlled by the DEXCPT and PERF bits on the Informa tional Excepti ons Control mode page (1Ch). Use the DEXCPT bit to enable or disable the S.M.A.R.T. feature. Setting the DEXCPT bit disables all S.M.A.R.T. functions. When enabled, S.M. A.R.T. collect s on -li ne d at a as the d rive p erfor ms normal read and write operations. When the PERF bit is set, the drive is considered to be in “On-line Mode Only” and will not perform off-line functions.

You can measure off-line attributes and force the drive to save the data by using the Rezero Unit command. Forcing S.M.A.R.T. resets the timer so that the next scheduled interrupt is in two hours.

You can interrogate the drive thro ugh th e host t o dete rmi ne the tim e rem ai ning b efore the ne xt schedu l ed me asurement and d at a logg i ng p rocess occur s . To accomplish thi s, issue a Log S ense comm and to lo g p age 0x3E . This allows you to control when S.M.A.R.T. interruptions occur. Forcing S.M.A.R.T. with the RTZ command resets the timer.

Performance impact

S.M.A.R.T. attribute data is saved to the disc so that the events that caused a predictive failure can be recreated. The drive measures and saves parameters once every two hours subject to an idle period on the FC-AL bus. The process of measuring off-line attribute data and saving data to the disc is uninterruptable. The maximum on-line only processing delay is summarized below:

Fully-enabled delay DEXCP T = 0, PE R F = 0

163 milliseconds

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

Reporting control

Reporting is controlled by the MRIE bits in the Informational Exceptions Control mode page (1Ch). Subject to the reporting method, the firmware will issue to the host an 01-5Dxx sense code. The error code is preserved through bus resets and power cycles.

Determining rate

S.M.A.R.T. monitors the rate at whic h error s occur and signa l s a predicti ve failure if the rat e of degrad ed err ors increases to an unacceptabl e level. To determine rate, error events are logged and compared to the number of total operations for a given attribute. The interval defines the number of operations over which to measure the rate. The counter that keeps track of the current number of operations is referred to as the Interval Counter.

S.M.A.R.T. measures error rates. All errors for each monitored attribute are recorded. A counter keeps track of the number of errors for the current interval. This counter is referred to as the Failure Counter.

Error rate is the number of errors per oper ation. The algori thm tha t S .M.A.R .T. uses to re cord rates of error is to set thresholds for the number of errors and their interval. If the number of errors exceeds the threshold before the interval expires, the error rate is considered to be unacceptable. If the number of errors does not exceed the threshold before the interval expires, the error rate is considered to be acceptable. In either case, the interval and failure counters are reset and the process starts over.

Predictive failures

S.M.A.R.T. signals predictive failures when the drive is performing unacceptably for a period of time. The firmware keeps a running count of the number of times the error rate for each attribute is unacceptable. To accomplish this, a counter is incremented each time the error rate is unacceptable and decremented (not to exceed zero) whenever the error rate is acceptable. If the counter continually increments such that it reaches the predictive threshold, a predictive failure is signaled. This counter is referred to as the Failure History Counter. There is a separate Failure History Counter for each attribute.

5.2.5 Thermal monitor

Cheetah 15K.5 FC drives implement a temperature warning system which:

1. Signals the host if the temperature exceeds a value which would threaten the drive.

2. Signals the host if the temperature exceeds a user-specified value.

3. Saves a S.M.A.R.T. data frame on the drive which exceeds the threatening temperature value.

A temperature sensor monitors the drive temperature and issues a warning over the interface when the temperature exceeds a set threshold. The temperature is measured at power-up and then at ten-minute intervals after power-up.

The thermal monitor system generates a warning code of 01-0B01 when the temperature exceeds the specified limit in compliance with the SCSI standard. The drive temperature is reported i n the FRU code field of mode sense dat a. You can use thi s infor matio n to deter mi ne if the wa rning is due to the temperature exceeding the drive threatening temperature or the user-specified temperature.

This feature is controlled by the En able W a rni ng (EWasc) bit, and the reporting mechanism is controlled by the Method of Reporting Informational Exceptions field (MRIE) on the Informational Exceptions Control (IEC) mode page (1Ch).

The current algorithm implements two temperature trip points. The first trip point is set at 68°C which is the maximum temperature limit according to the drive specification. The second trip point is user-selectable using the Log Select command. The re feren ce tempe ratur e p aram eter in the tempera ture log page (see Table 1) can

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

be used to set this trip point. The default value for this drive is 68°C, however, you can set it to any value in the range of 0 to 68°C. If you specify a temperature greater than 68°C in this field, the temperature is rounded down to 68°C. A sense code is sent to the host to indicate the rounding of the parameter field.

5.2.6 Drive Self Test (DST)

Drive Self Test (DST) is a technology designed to recognize drive fault conditions that qualify the drive as a failed unit. DST validates the functionality of the drive at a system level.

There are two test coverage options implemented in DST:

1. Extended test

2. Short text The most thorough option is the extended test that performs various tests on the drive and scans every logical

block address (LBA) of the drive. The short test is time-restricted and limited in length—it does not scan the entire media surface, but does some fundamental tests and scans portions of the media.

If DST encounters an error during either of these tests, it reports a fault condition. If the drive fails the test, remove it from service and return it to Seagate for service.

5.2.6.1 DST failure definition

The drive will present a “diagnostic failed” condition through the self-tests results value of the diagnostic log page if a functional failure is encountered during DST. The channel and servo parameters are not modified to test the drive more stringently, and the number of retries are not reduced. All retries and recovery processes are enabled during the test. If data is recoverable, no fa ilure condition will be reported regardless of the number of retries required to recover the data.

The following conditions are considered DST failure conditions:

• Seek error after retries are exhausted

• Track-follow error after retries are exhausted

• Read error after retries are exhausted

• Write error after retries are exhausted Recovered errors will not be reported as diagnostic failures.

5.2.6.2 Implementation

This section provides all of the information necessary to implement the DST function on this drive.

5.2.6.2.1 State of the drive prior to testing

The drive must be in a ready state before issuing the Send Diagnostic command. There are multiple reasons why a drive may not be ready, some of which are valid conditions, and not errors. For example, a drive may be in process of doing a form at, or anothe r D ST. It is the responsibility of the host application to det erm in e the “not ready” cause.

While not technically part of DST, a Not Ready condition also qualifies the drive to be returned to Seaga te as a failed dri ve.

A Drive Not Ready condition is reported by the drive under the following conditions:

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

• Motor will not spin

• Motor will not lock to speed

• Servo will not lock on track

• Drive cannot read configuration tables from the disc

In these conditions, the drive responds to a Test Unit Ready command with an 02/04/00 or 02/04/03 code.

5.2.6.2.2 Invoking DST

To invoke DST, submit the Send Diagnostic command with the appropriate Function Code (001b for the short test or 010b for the extended test) in bytes 1, bits 5, 6, and 7.

5.2.6.2.3 Short and extended tests

DST has two testing options:

1. short

2. extended

These testing options are described in the following two subsections. Each test consists of three segments: an electrical test segment, a servo test segment, and a read/verify scan

segment.

Short test (Function Code: 001b)

The purpose of the short test is to provide a time-limited test that tests as much of the drive as possible within 120 seconds. The short test does not scan the entire media surface, but does some fundamental tests and scans portions of the media. A complete rea d/ver ify scan is not per formed and onl y factu al failu res will report a fault condition. This option provides a quick confidence test of the drive.

Extended test (Function Code: 010b)

The objective of the extended test option is to empirically test critical drive component s. For example, the seek tests and on-track operations test the positioning mechanism. The read operation tests the read head element and the media surface. The write element is tested through read/write/read operations. The integrity of the media is checked through a read/verify scan of the media. Motor functionality i s tested by default as a part of these tests.

The anticipated length of the Extended test is reported through the Control Mode page.

5.2.6.2.4 Log page entries

When the drive begins DST, it creates a new entry in the Self-test Results Log page. The new entry is created by inserting a new self-te st parameter block at the beginni ng of t he se lf-test resu l ts log p a ram eter section of the log page. Existing data will be moved to make room for the new parameter block. The drive reports 20 parameter blocks in the log p ag e. If th ere are more than 20 p ar amet er blocks, the least r ecent p a rame ter block will be deleted. The new parameter block will be initialized as follows:

1. The Function Code field is set to the same value as sent in the DST command

2. The Self-Test Results Value field is set to Fh

3. The drive will store the log p age to non-volatile memory

After a self-test is complete or has been aborted, the drive updates the Self-Test Results Value field in its SelfTest Results Log page in non-volatile memory. The host may use Log Sense to read the results from up to the last 20 self-tests performed by the drive. The self-test results value is a 4-bit field that reports the results of the test. If the field is set to zero, the drive passed with no errors detected by the DST. If the field is not set to zero, the test failed for the reason reported in the field.

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

The drive will report the failure cond ition and LBA (if applicable) in the Self-test Results Log parameter. The Sense key, ASC, ASCQ, and FRU are used to report the failure condition.

5.2.6.2.5 Abort

There are several ways to abort a diagnostic. You can use a SCSI Bus Reset or a Bus Device Reset message to abort the diagnostic.

You can abort a DST executing in background mode by using the abort code in the DST Function Code field. This will cause a 01 (self-test aborted by the application client) code to appear in the self-test results values log. All other abort mechanisms will be reported as a 02 (self-te st routine was interrupted by a reset condition).

5.2.7 Product warranty

Beginning on the date of shipment to the customer and continuing for the period specified in your purchase contract, Seagate warrants that each product (including components and subassemblies) that fails to function properly under no rmal use due to defect in m ater i als or wo rkma nship o r due to no nconfo rma nce to the applicable specifications will be repaired or replace d, at Seag ate’s option and at no charge to the customer, if returned by customer at customer’s expense to Seagate’s designated facility in accordance with Seagate’s warranty procedure. Seagate will pay for transporting the repair or replacement item to the customer. For more detailed warranty information, refer to the standard terms and conditions of purcha se for Seagate products on your purchase documentation.

The remaining warranty for a particular drive can be determined by calling Seagate Customer Service at 1-800-468-3472. You can also determine remaining warranty using the Seagate web site (www.seagate.com). The drive serial number is required to determine remaining warranty information.

Shipping

When transporting or shipping a drive, use only a Seagate-approved container. Keep your original box. Seagate approved containers are easily identified by the S eagat e App roved Packag e label. Sh ippi ng a drive in a non-approved container voids the drive warranty.

Seagate repair centers may refuse receipt of components improperly packaged or obviously damaged in transit. Contact your authorized Seagate distributor to purchase additional boxes. S eagate recommends shipping by an air-ride carrier experienced in handling computer equipment.

Product repair and return information

Seagate customer service centers are the only facilities authorized to service Seagate drives. Seagate does not sanction any third-party repair facilities. Any unauthorized repair or tampering with the factory seal voids the warranty.

[2] For +12 V, a –10% tolerance is allowed during initial spindle start but must return to ±5% before reaching

15000 RPM. The ±5% must be maintained after the drive signifies that its power-up sequence has been

completed and that the drive is able to accept selection by the host initiator. [3] See +12V current profile in Figure 1. [4] This condition occurs when the Motor Start option is enabled and the drive has not yet received a Start

Motor command. [5] See paragraph 6.2.1, "Conducted noise immunity." Specified voltage tolerance includes ripple, noise, and

transient response. [6] Operating condition is defined as random 8 block reads at 309 s I/Os per second for ST3300655F C and

[7] During idle, the drive heads are relocated every 60 seconds to a random location within the band from

three-quarters to maximum track.

General DC power requirement notes.

1. Minimum current l oading for each supply voltage is not less than 1.2% of the maximum operating current shown.

2. The +5V and +12V supplies should employ separate ground returns.

3. 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.

4. Parameters, other than spindle start, are measured after a 10-minute warm up.

5. No terminator power.

6.2.1 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 = 250 mV pp from 0 to 100 kHz to 20 MHz. +12 V = 800 mV pp from 100 Hz to 8 KHz.

450 mV pp from 8 KHz to 20 KHz. 250 mV pp from 20 KHz to 5 MHz.

6.2.2 Power sequencing

The drive does not require power sequencing. The drive protects against inadvertent writing during power-up and down.

6.2.3 Current profiles

The +12V and +5V current profiles for the ST3300655FC, ST3146855FC, and ST373455FC models are shown below in the following figures.

6.4 Environmental limits

Temperature and humidity values experienced by the drive must be such that condensation does not occur on any drive part. Altitude and atmospheric pressure specifications are referenced to a standard day at 58.7°F (14.8°C). Maximum wet bulb temperature is 82°F (28°C).

6.4.1 Temperature

a. Operating

The maximum allowable continuous or sustained HDA case temperature for the rated Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) is 122°F (50°C) The maximum allowable HDA case temperature is 60°C. Occasional excursions of HDA case temperatures above 122°F (50°C) or below 41°F (5°C) may occur without impact to the specified AFR. Continual or sustained operation at HDA case temperatures outside these limits may degrade AFR.

Provided the HDA case temperatures limits are met, the drive meets all specifications over a 41°F to 131°F (5°C to 55°C) drive ambient temperature range with a maximum temperature gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour . Air flow may be needed in the drive enclosu re to keep within this range (see Se ction 8.3). Operation at HDA case temperatur es out side thi s ra nge m ay adve rsely af fe ct the d rives ab ility t o mee t speci ficatio ns. To confirm that the required cooling for the electronics and HDA case is provided, place the drive in its final mechanical configuration, perform random write/read operations and measure the HDA case temperature after it has stabilized.

6.4.4 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, resonances may occur internally to t he e nclosure resulting in drive movement in excess of t he st ated limits. If this situation is app ar ent, 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 11, and in accordance with the restrictions of Section 8.4. Orientation of the side nearest the LED may be up or down.

6.4.4.1 Shock

a. Operating—normal

The drive, as in sta lled for normal operation, shall operate error free while subje cted to intermittent shock not exceeding 15 Gs at a maximum duration of 11 msec (half sinewave). The drive, as installed for normal operation, shall operate error free while subjected to intermittent shock not exceeding 60 Gs at a maximum duration of 2 msec (half sinewave). Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

b. Operating—abnormal

Equipment, as installed for normal operation, does not incur physical damage while subjected to intermittent shock not exceeding 40 Gs at a maximum duration of 11 msec (half sinewave). Shock occurring at abnormal levels may promote degraded operational performance during the abnormal shock period. Specified operational performance will continue when normal operating shock levels resume. Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis. Shock is not to be repeated more than two times per second.

c. Non-operating

The limits of non-operating 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 75 Gs at a maximum duration of 11 msec (half sinewave) shall not exhibit device damage or performance degradation. Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.

The drive subjected to nonrepetitive shock not exceeding 250 Gs at a maximum duration of 2 msec (half sinewave) does not exhibit device damage or performance degradation. Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.

The drive subjected to nonrepetitve shock not exceeding 120 Gs at a maximum duration of 0.5 msec (half sinewave) does not exhibit device damage or performance degradation. Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.

d. Packaged

Disc drives shipped as loose load (not palletized) general freight will be packaged to withstand drops from heights as defined in the table below. For additional details refer to Seagate specifications 30190-001 (under 100 lbs/45 kg) or 30191-001 (over 100 lbs/45 Kg).

There will not be any discrete tones more than 10 dB above the masking noise on typical drives when measured according to Seagate specification 30553-001. There will not be any tones more than 24 dB above the masking noise on any drive.

6.4.6 Air cleanliness

The drive is designed to operate in a typical office environment with minimal environmental control.

6.4.7 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.

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

Users should use caution exposing any electronic components to uncontrolled chemical pollutants and corrosive chemicals as electr onic dr i ve com ponen t reliab ilit y can be af fecte d by th e i nst allation environment. The sil- ver, copper, nickel and gold films used in Seagate products are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitr ate c ont ami na nt s. S ulfur is found to be the m ost dam aging . In ad di tion, e lectron i c comp onent s should never be exposed to condensing water on the surface of the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) or exposed to an am bient rel at ive hum idity gr eate r th an 9 5%. Mat erial s used in cabin et fa bri cation , 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.

6.4.8 RoHS compliance statement

The European U nion Restr icti on of Hazard ous S ubst ance s (RoHS ) Dire cti ve re strict s the p resen ce of ch emic al substances, including Lead (Pb), in electronic products effective July 2006.

A number of parts and materials in Seagate products are procured from external suppliers. We rely on the representations of our suppliers regarding the presence of RoHS substances in these parts and materials. Our supplier contracts require compliance with our chemical substance restrictions, and our suppliers document their compliance wi th our re quire ment s by providing material content declarations for all par ts an d mater i als for the disc drives documented in this publication. Current supplier declarations include disclosure of the inclusion of any RoHS-regulated substance in such parts or materials.

7.0 Defect and error management

Seagate continues to use innovative technologies to manage defects and errors. These technologies are designed to increase data integrity, perform drive self-maintenance, and validate proper drive operation.

SCSI defect and error manag eme nt involves drive inte rnal def ect/er ror manage ment and FC system er ror considerations (errors in comm unications between the initiator and the drive). In addition, Seagate provides the following technologies used to increase data integrity and drive reliability:

• Background Media Scan (see Section 7.4)

• Media Pre-Scan (see Section 7.5)

• Deferred Auto-Reallocation (see Section 7.6)

• Idle Read After Write (see Section 7.7) The read error rates and specified storage capacities are not dependent on host (initiator) defect management

routines.

7.1 Drive in ternal defects/errors

During the initial drive format operation at the factory, media defects are identified, tagged as being unusable, and their locations recorded on the drive primary defects list (referred to as the “P’ list and also as the ETF defect list). At factory format time, these known defects are also reallocated, that is, reassigned to a new place on the medium and the location listed in the defects reallocation table. The “P” list is not altered after factory formatting. Locations of defects found and reallocated during error recovery procedures after drive shipment are listed in the “G” list (defects growth list). The “P” and “G” lists may be referenced by the initiator using the Read Defect Data command.

Details of the SC SI commands supported by the drive are described in the Fibre Channel Interface Manual. Also, more information on the drive Error Recovery philosophy is presented in the Fibre Channel Interface Manual.

7.2 Drive error recovery procedures

When an error occurs du ri ng dr ive ope ration, the drive, if programmed to do so, performs er ror recove ry pro c edures to attempt to reco ver the dat a. T he err or r ecover y proce dure s used depend on the options previously set in the Error Recovery Parameters mode page. Error recovery and defect management may involve using several SCSI commands described in the Fibre Channel Interface Manual. The drive implements selectable error recovery time limits required in video applications.

The error r ecover y sche me suppo rted by t he d ri ve p rovide s a way to contr ol th e to tal error recovery time for the entire command in addition to controlling the recovery level for a single LBA. The total amount of time spent in error recovery for a command can be limited using the Recovery Time Limit bytes in the Error Recovery mode page. The total amount of time spent in error recovery for a single LBA can be limited using the Read Retry Count or Write Retry Count bytes in the Error Recovery mode page.

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

The drive firmware error recovery algorithms consists of 11 levels for read recoveries and five levels for write. Each level may consist of multiple steps, where a step is defined as a recovery function involving a single reread or re-write attempt. The maximum level used by the drive in LBA recovery is determined by the read and write retry counts.

Table 5 equates the read and write retry count with the maximum possible recovery time for read and write recovery of individual LBAs. The times given do not include time taken to perform reallocations. Reallocations are performed when the ARRE bit (for reads) or AWRE bit (for writes) is one, the RC bit is zero, and the recovery time limit for the command has not yet been met. Time needed to perform reallocation is not counted against the recovery time limit.

When the RC bit is one, reallocations are disabled even if the ARRE or AWRE bits are one. The drive will still perform data recovery actions within the limits defined by the Read Retry Count, Write Retry Count, and Recovery Time Limit parameters. However, the drive does not report any unrecovered errors.

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

Maximum recovery time per LBA (cumulative, msec)

Write retry count

Maximum recovery time per LBA (cumulative, msec)

[1] These values are subject to change.

Setting these retry counts to a value below the default setting could result in an increased unrecovered error rate which may exceed the value given in this product manual. A setting of zero (0) will result in the drive not performing error recovery.

For example, suppose the Read/Write Recovery page has the RC bit set to 0, read retry count set to 4, and the recovery time limit field (Mode Sense page 01, bytes 10 and 11) set to FF FF hex (maximum). A four LBA Read command is allowed to take up to 253.11 msec recovery time for each of the four LBAs in the command. If the recovery time limit is set to 00 C8 hex (200 msec decimal) a four LB A read comm and is allowed to take up to 200 msec for all error recovery within that command. The use of the Recovery Time Limit field allows finer granularity on control of the time spent in error recovery. The recovery time limit only starts counting when the drive is executing error recovery and it restarts on each command. Therefore, each command’s total recovery time is subject to the recovery time limit. Note: A recovery time limit of 0 will use the drive’s default value of FF FF. Minimum recovery time limit is achieved by setting the Recovery Time Limit field to 00 01.

7.3 FC-AL system errors

Information on the reporting of operational errors or faults across the interface is given in the Fibre Channel Interface Manual. The FCP Response 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 Fibre Channel Interface Manual. S t atus reporti ng

plays a role in systems err or manag ement and its use in that respect is describe d in se ctions whe re the va rious commands are discussed.

7.4 Background Media Scan

Background Media Scan (BMS) is a self-initiated media scan. BMS is defined in the T10 document SPC-4 available from the T10 committee. BMS performs sequential reads across the entire pack of the media while the drive is idle. In RAID arrays, BMS allows hot spare drives to be scanned for defects prior to being put into service by the host system. On regular duty drives, if the host system makes use of the BMS Log Page, it can avoid placing data in suspect locations on the media. Unreadable and recovered error sites will be logged or reallocated per ARRE/AWRE settings.

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

With BMS, the host system can consume less power and system overhead by only checking BMS status and results rather th an tyi ng up th e bus a nd consu ming p ower i n the pr ocess o f host- initiated medi a scanning activ ity.

Since the backgr ound scan function s ar e o nl y don e d uring i dle p eriod s, B MS cau ses a neg lig ibl e imp a ct to sys tem performance. The first BMS scan for a newly manufactured drive is performed as quickly as possible to verify the media and protect data by setting the “Start time after idle” to 5ms, all subsequent scans begin after 500ms of idle time. Other features that normally use idle time to function will function normally because BMS functions for bursts of 800ms and then suspends activity for 100ms to allow other background functions to operate.

BMS interrupts immedi ately to service host com man ds from the inter face bus whi le pe rfor ming r eads. B MS will complete any BMS-initiated error recovery prior to returning to service host-initiated commands. Overhead associated with a return to host-servicing activity from BMS only impacts the first command that interrupted BMS, this results in a typical delay of about 1 ms.

7.5 Media Pr e- Scan

Media Pre-Scan is a feature that allows the drive to repair media errors that would otherwise have been found by the host system during critical data accesses early in the drive’s life. The default setting for Media Pre-Scan is enabled on standard products. Media Pre-Scan checks each write command to determine if the destination LBAs have been scanned by BMS. If the LBAs have been verified, the drive proceeds with the normal write command. If the LBAs have not been verified by BMS, Pre-Scan will convert the write to a write verify to certify that the data was properly written to the disc.

Note. During Pre-Scan write verify commands, write performance may decrease by 50% until Pre-Scan

completes. Write performance testi ng should be performed after Pre-Scan is complete. This may be checked by reading the BMS status.

To expedite the scan of the full pack and subsequently exit from the Pre-Scan period, BMS will begin scanning immediately when the drive goes to idle during the Pre-Scan period. In the event that the drive is in a high transaction traffic environment and is unable to complete a BMS scan within 24 power on hours BMS will disable Pre-Scan to restore full performance to the system.

7.6 Deferred Auto-Reallocation

Deferred Auto-Reallocation (DAR) simplifies reallocation algorithm s at the system leve l by allowing the drive to reallocate unreadable locations on a subsequent write command. Sites are marked for DAR during read operations performed by the drive. When a write command is received for an LBA marked for DAR, the auto-reallocation process is invoked and attempts to rewrite the data to the original location. If a verification of this rewrite fails, the sector is re-mapped to a spare location.

This is in contrast to the system having to use the Reassign Command to reassign a location that was unreadable and then generate a write command to rewrite the data. DAR is most effective when AWRE and ARRE are enabled—this is the default setting from the Seagate factory. With AWRE and ARRE disabled DAR is unable to reallocate the failing location and will report an error sense code indicating that a write command is being attempted to a previously failing location.

7.7 Idle Read After Write

Idle Read After Write (IRAW) utilizes idle time to verify the integrity of recently written data. During idle periods, no active system requests, the drive reads recently written data from the media and compares it to valid write command data resident in the drives data buffer. Any sectors that fail the comparison result in the invocation of a rewrite and auto-r eallocation process. The process attempts to rewrite the data to the original location. If a verification of this rewrite fails, the sector is re-mapped to a spare location.

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

8.0 Installation

Cheetah 15K.5 FC disc drive installation is a plug-and-play process. There are no jumpers, switches, or terminators on the drive. Simply plug the drive into the host’s 40-pin Fibre Channel backpanel connector (FCSCA)—no cables are required. See Section 9.5 for additional information about this connector.

Use the FC-AL interface to select drive ID and all option configurations for devices on the loop. If multiple devices are on the same FC-AL and physical addresses are used, set the device selection ID s (SEL

IDs) on the backp anel so that no two devices have the same selection ID. T his is ca lle d the har d assign ed ar bitrated loop physical ad dress ( AL_PA). There are 125 AL_PAs available (see Table 27). If you set the AL_PA on the backpanel to any value other than 0, the device plugged into the backpanel’s SCA connector inherits this AL_PA. In the event you don’t successfully assign unique hard addresses (and therefore have duplicate selection IDs assigned to two or more devices), the FC-AL generates a message indicating this condition. If you set the AL_PA on the backpanel to a value of 0, the system issues a unique soft-assigned physical address automatically.

Loop initialization is the process used to verify or obtain an address. The loop initialization process is performed when pow er is applied to the drive, whe n a devi ce is a dded or re moved from the F ibre Cha nnel loop , or when a device times out attempting to win arbitration.

• Set all option selections in the connector prior to applying power to the drive. If you change options after applying power to the drive, recycle the drive power to activate the new settings.

• It is not necessary to low-level format this drive. The drive is shipped from the factory low-level formatted in 512-byte logical blocks. You need to refo rma t the drive only if you want to select a different logical block size.

8.1 Drive ID/option selection

All drive options are made through the interface connector (J1). Table 24 provides the pin descriptions for the 40-pin Fibre Channel single connector (J1).

8.2 Drive orientation

The drive may be mounted in any orientation. All drive performance characterizations, however, have been done with the drive in horizontal (discs level) and vertical (drive on its side) orientations, which are the two preferred mounting orientations.

8.3 Cooling

The host enclosure must dissipate heat from the drive. You should confirm that the host enclosure is designed to ensure that the dr ive ope rate s w ithin the tempe ratu re m easur emen t guide lin es descr ibed in S ectio n 6.4.1. In some cases, forced airflow may be required to keep temperatures at or below the temperatures specified in Section 6.4.1.

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

If forced air is necessary, possible air-flow patterns are shown in Figure 13. The air-flow patterns are created by fans either forcing or drawing air as shown in the illustrations. Conduction, convection, or other forced airflow patterns are acceptable as long as the temperature measurement guidelines of Section 6.4.1 are met.

8.4 Drive mounting

Mount the drive usi ng the b ottom or side mo unting hol es. If you moun t the d rive u s ing the botto m ho les, ensure that you do not physically distort the drive by attempting to mount it on a stiff, non-flat surface.

The allowable mounting surface stiffness is 80 lb/in (14.0 N/mm). The following equation and paragraph define the allowable mounting surface stiffness:

where K is the mounting surface stiffness (units in lb/in or N/mm) and X is the out-of-plane surface distortion (units in inches or millimeters). The out-of-plane distortion (X) is determined 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 (F) is applied to the fourth point.

Note. Before mounting the drive in any kind of 3.5-inch to 5.25-inch adapter frame, verify with Seagate

Technology that the drive can meet the shock and vibration specifications given herein while mounted in such an adapter frame. Adapter frames that are available may not have a mechanical structure capable of mounting the drive so that it can meet the shock and vibration specifications listed in this manual.

K x X = F < 15lb = 67N

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

8.5 Grounding

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

Increased radiated emissions may result if you do not provide the maximum surface area ground connection between system ground and drive ground. This is the system designer’s and integrator’s responsibility.

9.2 Dual port support

Cheetah 15K.5 FC drives have two independent FC-AL ports. These ports may be connected on independent loops or on the same loop. Port A and Port B may be connected in any order or combination.

• If both ports ar e conn ected on i nde pend ent loo ps and h ard a ddre ssi ng is use d, the driv e in terfa ce add ress i s selected through the interface connector, both ports will seek the same loop address. If no conflict, both ports will have the same loop address.

• If both ports are connected in the same loop and hard addressing is used, at least one port will attempt taking a soft address to prevent an address conflict.

Note. When a Cheetah 15K.5 FC drive is connected in loops with previous Seagate FC drive products:

Barracuda 4LP FC (ST32171FC, ST34371FC, and ST34571FC) Barracuda 9FC (ST19171FC) Cheetah 4LP FC (ST34501FC) Cheetah 9FC (ST19101FC)

the connection of Port A and B for these products must follow the requirements in their product manuals.

Subject to buffer availability, the Cheetah 15K.5 FC drives support:

• Concurrent port transfers—The drive supports receiving transfers on both ports at the same time when the ports are on independent loops.

• Full duplex—The drive supports sending FCP_Data, FCP_RSP, FCP_XFR_RDY and ELS transfers while receiving frames on both ports.

9.3.2 Mode Sense data

The Mode Sense command provides a way for the drive to report its operating parameters to the initiator. The drive maintains four sets of mode parameters:

1. Default values

Default values are hard-coded in the drive firmware stored in flash E-PROM (nonvolatile memory) on the drive’s PCB. These default values can be changed only by downloading a complete set of new 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, where the values are changeable.

2. Saved values

Saved values are stored on the drive’s media using a Mode Select command. Only parameter values that are allowed to be chang ed c an b e cha nged by th i s me thod. Pa ram eters in th e save d va lues l ist that are not changeable by the Mode Select command get their values from default values storage.

When power is applied to the drive, it takes saved values from the media and stores them as current values in volatile memory. It is not possible to change the current values (or the saved values) with a Mode Select command before the drive achieves operating speed and is “ready.” An attempt to do so results in a “Check Condition” status.

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.

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

On standard OEM drives, the saved values are taken from the default values list and store d into the saved values storage location on the media prior to shipping.

3. Current values Current values are volatile values being used by the dri ve to contro l i t s oper ation . A Mod e Sel ect comm and

can be used to change the values identified as changeable values. Originally, current values are installed from saved or default values after a power on reset, hard reset, or Bus Device Reset message.

4. Changeable values Changeable values for m a bit mask, stored in no nvolatil e me mor y, that dictates which of the current val ues

and saved values can be changed by a Mode Select command. A one (1) indicates the value can be changed. A zero (0) indicates the value is not changeable. For example, in Table 18, refer to Mode page 81, in the row entitled “CHG.” These are hex numbers representing the changeable values for Mode page

81. Note in colu mns 5 and 6 ( bytes 0 4 an d 05) , th ere is 00h w hich ind icates that in bytes 04 and 05 none of the bits are changeable. Note also that bytes 06, 07, 09, 10, and 11 are not changeable, because those fields are all zeros. In byte 02 , hex val ue FF equates to the binary pattern 11111111. If there is a zero in any bit position in the field, it means that bit is not changeable. Since all of the bits in byte 02 are ones, all of these bits are changeable.

The changeable values list can only be changed by downloading new firmware into the flash E-PROM.

Note. Because there are often several different versions of dr iv e contr ol firm ware i n the tot al p opul at ion of

drives in the field , the Mode Sense values given in the fol lowing ta bl es may not exactl y m atch t hose of some drives.

The following table s list the values of the dat a bytes returned by the drive in response to the Mode Sense command pages for SCSI implementation (see the Fibre Channel Interface Manual ).

Definitions: SAV = Current saved value.

DEF = Default value. Standard OEM drives are shipped configured this way. CHG = Changeable bits; indicates if default value is changeable.

9.5 FC-AL physical interface

Port Bypass

Figure 14 shows the location of the J1 Fibre Channel single connection attachment (FC-SCA). Figure 16 provides the dimensions of the FC-SCA connector.

Details of the physical, electrical, and logical characteristics are provided within this section. The operational aspects of Seagate’s Fibre Channel drives are provided in the Fibre Channel Interface Manual..

9.5.1 Physical character istic s

This section defines physical interface connector.

9.5.1.1 Physical descriptio n

FIbre Channel drives may be connected in a loop together or with other compatible FC-AL devices. A maximum of 127 devices may have addresses; however, one of the addresses is reserved for a fabric port switch device. This means 126 addresses are available for FC-AL devices. More FC-AL compatible devices may physically reside on the loop, but they will not be functional because they would not be able to obtain valid addresses.

Port bypass circuits (PBCs) allow devices to be inserted into unpopulated locations or removed from the loop with loop operation recovery after a brief interruption. These PBCs are located external to the FC-AL device. Figure 15 shows the relationship between the PBC and FC-AL device.

9.5.6 Power

Power is supplied through the FC-SCA with support for +5 volts and +12 volts. All of the voltage pins in the drive connector are the same length.

Four 12 volt pins provide +12 volt power to the drive. The current return for the +12 volt power supply is through the common ground pins. The supply current and return current must be distributed as evenly as possible among the pins. The maximum current typically occurs while the drive motor is starting.

Three 5 volt pins pro vide l ogic powe r to the d riv e. Th e curr ent re turn for the +5 vol t p ower sup pl y is th roug h the common ground pins. Distribute supply and return current as evenly as possible among the voltage and ground pins.

The mating connector pins use shorter contacts to achieve power surge reductions and to aid in “hot plugging” the drives. There are longer voltage contacts in the connector to enable the drive filter capacitors to charge. Current to the drive through the long charge pins is limited by the system in which the drive operates. Three of the +12 volt pins ar e shor ter to all ow ca pa citi ve pr e-cha rging throu gh th e longe r + 12 v olt charge pi n . Two of the +5 volt pins are shorter to allow capacitive precharging through the longer +5 volt charge pin.

9.5.7 Fault LED Out

The Fault LED Out signal is driven by the drive when:

• the drive detects failure of both ports

• the drive detects an internal failure

• the drive receives the appropriate fault LED command from the host

The Fault LED Out signal is designed to pull down the cathode of an LED. The anode is attached to the proper +5 volt supply through an appropriate current-limiting resistor. The LED and the current-limiting resistor are external to the drive.

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

9.5.8 Active LED Out

The Active LED Out signal is driven by the drive as indicated in Table 25.

T ab le 24: Active LED Out conditions

Normal command activity L ED status

Spun down and no activity Slow blink (20% on and 80% off a 2 sec cycle) Spun down and activity (command executing) On Spun up and no activity On Spun up and activity (command executing) Off Spinning up or down Blinks steadily (50% on and 50% off) Format in progress, each cylinder change Toggles on/off

The Active LED Out signal is designed to pull down the cathode of an LED. The anode is attached to the proper +5 volt supply through an appropriate current limiting resistor. The LED and the current limiting resistor are external to the drive.

9.5.9 Enable port bypass signals

The – Enable Bypass P ort A (– EN BYP P ort A) an d – En able By p ass Port B (– EN BYP Por t B) si gnals con trol the port bypass circuits (PBC) located external to the disc drive. The PBC allows a loop to remain functional in the event of a drive failure or removal. When these signals are active, low, the PBC bypasses the drive on the associated port. When an E nable Bypass signal is active, the corresponding Port Bypass LED signal in connector J1 is driven low by the disc drive. A pull down resistor, 1K, located with the PBC should be used to insure the bypass is enabled if the disc drive is not installed.

The Enable Bypass signal is active under failing conditions within the drive, on detection of the Loop Port Bypass primitive se quen ce, or on r emo val of t he dr ive. In the b yp ass state the drive continues to receive on the inbound fibre. Enable Bypass may be deactivated by detection of a Loop Port Enable primitive sequence if the drive has completed self-test and a hardware failure is not present.

Failure modes detected by the disc drive that will enable bypass include:

• Transmitter/receiver wrap test failure

• Loss of receive clock

• Loss of transmission clock

• Drive interface hardware error

9.5.10 Motor st art controls

The drive’s motor is started according to the Start_1 and Start_2 signals described in Table 26. The state of these signals can be wired into the backplane socket or driven by logic on the backplane.

T ab le 25: Motor start control signals

Case Start_2 Start_1 Motor spin function

1 Low Low Motor spins up at DC power on. 2 High Low Motor spins up only when SCSI Start command is received. 3 Low High Motor spins up after a delay of 12 seconds times the modulo 8 v alue

of the numeric SEL ID of the drive from DC power on.

4 High High The drive will not spin up.

Cheetah 15K.5 FC Product Manual, Rev. D

9.5.11 SEL_6 through SEL_0 ID lines

The SEL_6 through SEL_0 ID lines determine drive address, and, optionally, for an Enclosure Services Interface. When the Parallel ESI line is hig h, the en closure backp anel must provide address info rma tion on the SEL line. Refer to table 27 for a mapping of SEL to FC-AL physical addresses (AL_PA). You can think of the SEL lines as the equivalent of a backpanel logic plug. The drives does not provide pull up resistors on these lines. The backpanel is required to provide high and low inputs to the SEL_ID lines per the specifications in table 29 on page 71.

Note. Table 27 gives AL_PA values for each SEL value. The first entry in the table is SEL_ID 00. The last

entry is SEL_ID 7D. SEL_ID 7E is AL_PA 00 which is not valid for an NL_Port, so is not included in the table. Also, SEL_ID 7Fh does map to a valid AL_PA; however, this value signals the drive that physical addresses are not being assigned using the SEL lines and that a “soft” address will be determined by FC-AL loop initialization.

When the Parallel ESI line is low, the enclosure backpanel logic switches to ESI mode if supported. There are two modes of ESI, seven bits of enclosure status and a bidirectional mode. ESI support and the mode are determined by the drive using a discovery process. Refer to the Fibre Channel Interface Manual for a descrip- tion of ESI operation.

9.5.1 1.1 Parallel Enclosure Serv ices Inte rface (ESI )

The parallel ESI line is an output from the drive. This line provides the enclosure with an indication of the present function of the SEL lines. A high level, the default state, indicates the drive requires address information on the SEL lines. A low level indicates the drive is attempting an ESI transfer. The enclosure may not support ESI on any or all drive locations. It may only suppo rt the address functi on . Support of ESI is discovered by the drive. Refer to the Fibre Channel Interface Manual for a description of ESI operations.
