1.1 About the Serial ATA interface

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

• Easy installation and c onfiguration with tru e plug-and- play conn ectivity. It is not necessary to set any jumpers or other configuration options.

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

• Scalability to higher performance levels.

In addition, Serial ATA makes the transition from parallel ATA easy by providing legacy software support. Serial ATA was designed to allow you to install a S erial ATA host adapter and Serial ATA disc drive in your current system and expect all of your existing applications to work as normal.

The Serial ATA interface conne cts each disc drive in a point-to-point configu ration with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slave relationship with Seria l ATA d evices like there is with parall el ATA. If two drives are attached on one Serial ATA host adapter, the host operating system views the two devices as if they were both “masters” on two separate ports. This essenti ally mean s both dr ives behav e as if they are Dev ice 0 (master) devices.

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

devices on separate Serial ATA ports are represen ted to hos t software as a Dev ice 0 (ma ster) an d Device 1 (slave) acce ssed at the s ame set of ho st bus addr esses. A h ost adapter tha t emulat es a master/slave environment manages two sets of shadow register s. This is not a typical Serial ATA environment.

The Serial ATA host adapter and drive sh are the fun ction of emulati ng parallel ATA device beh avior to provid e backward compatibility with existing host systems an d software. The Command and Contr ol Block registers, PIO and DMA data transfers, resets, and interrupts are all emulated.

The Serial ATA host adapter contains a set of registers that shadow the contents of the traditional device registers, referred to as the S hado w Register Block. All Se rial ATA devices beh av e l ike Device 0 devices. F or add itional information about how Ser ial ATA emulates parallel ATA, refer to the “Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment” specification. The specification can be downloaded from www.serialata.org.

2.6 Seek time

Seek measurements are taken with nominal power at 25°C ambient temperature. All times are measured using drive diagnostics. The specifications in the table below are defined as follows:

• Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track seeks in both directions.

• Average seek time is a true statistical random av erage of at least 5,000 measurements of seeks betwee n random tracks, less overhead.

Typical seek times (msec) Read Write

Track-to-track 0.8 1.0 Average 18 20 Average latency: 4.16 4.16

Note. These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times represented in this manual. Physical

seeks, regardless of mode (such as track-to-trac k and average), are expected to meet or exceed the noted values. However, due to the manne r in which these drives are formatted, benchma rk tests that include command overhead or measure logical seeks may produce results that vary from these specifications.

2.8 Power specifications

The drive receives DC power (+5V and +12V) through a native SATA power connector. See Figure 5 on page 25.

2.8.1 Power consumption

Power requirements for the drives are listed in the table on page 9. Typical power measurements are based on an average of drives tested, under nomi nal conditions, using 5.0 V and 12.0V input vo ltage at 25°C ambient temperature.

• Spinup power

Spinup power is measured from the tim e of power-on to the ti me that the drive sp indle reaches ope rating speed.

• Seek mode

During seek mode, the read/wr ite actuator arm moves towar d a specific position on the disc s urface and does not execute a read or write o peration . Servo el ectroni cs are active. S eek mode po wer repr esen ts the worst-case power co nsump tion, us ing o nly ran dom s eeks with read or writ e laten cy ti me. This mode is no t typical and is provided for worst-case information.

• Operating power and current

Operating power is measured using a standrad Consumer Storage Profile.

• Idle mode power

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

• Standby mode

During Standby mode, the drive accep ts co mmands, b ut the driv e is not spi nning , and the se rvo and read / write electronics are in power-down mode.

2.8.4 Power-management modes

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

Power modes Heads Spindle Buffer

Active Tracking Rotating Enabled Idle Tracking Rotating Enabled Standby Parked Stopped Enabled Sleep Parked Stopped Disabled

• Active mode

The drive is in Active mode during the read/write and seek operations.

• Idle mode

The buffer remains enable d, and the d rive ac ce pts all com man ds and ret urns to Ac ti ve mode any tim e di sc access is necessary.

• Standby mode

The drive enters Standby mode whe n the host sends a Standby Immediate command. If the host has set the standby timer, the drive can also enter Standby mode automatically after the drive has been inactive for a specifiable le ngth of time. The standby timer delay is established usi ng a Standby or Idle command. I n Standby mode, the drive buffer is enabled, the heads are parked and the spindle is at rest. The drive accepts all commands and returns to Active mode any time disc access is necessary.

• Sleep mode

The drive enters Sleep mode after receiving a Sle ep command from the host. In Sleep mode, the drive buffer is disabled, the heads are park ed and the spindle is at rest. The drive l eaves Sleep mode after it receives a Hard Re se t or So ft Rese t from the ho st. A fter recei ving a res et, the drive exits Sl eep m ode an d enters Standby mode with all current translation parameters intact.

• Idle and Standby timers

Each time the d rive perf orms an Ac tive fun ction (rea d, write or seek), the standb y timer is reini tialized and begins counting dow n from its specified de lay times to zero. If the standby timer reac hes zero before any

2.14 Environmental protection

Seagate designs its prod ucts to meet environ mental protectio n requirem ents worldwide, in cluding regul ations restricting certain chemical substances.

2.14.1 European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

The European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive restricts the presence of chemical substances, including Lead (Pb), in electronic products effective July 2006. Although amendments to the Euro-pean Union’s Restricti on of Haza rdous Su bstanc es (RoH S) Direc ti ve ha ve not bee n fin ali z ed, to th e bes t of our knowledge the disc drives documented in this publication will comply with the final RoHS Directive require-ments.

A number of parts and materials in Seag ate products are procured from external supplie rs. We rely on the rep-resentations of our suppliers regarding the presence of RoHS substances in these parts and materials. Our supplier contracts re quire compliance with our chem ical substance restrictions, a nd our suppliers document their compliance with our requirements by providing material content declarations for all parts and materials 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.

20 DB35.2 Serial ATA Product Manual, Rev. B

Seagate also has internal systems in place to ensure ongoing compliance with the RoHS Directive and all laws and regulations which restrict chemical content in electronic products. These systems include standard operat-ing procedures that ensure that restricted su bstances are not utiliz ed in our manufacturi ng operations, labora-tory analyti cal validatio n testing, and an internal auditing pr ocess to ens ure that all standar d operatin g procedures are complied with.

2.15 Corrosive environment

Seagate electronic drive components pass accel erated corrosion testing equ ivalent to 10 years exposure to light industrial e nvir onment s co ntaini ng sul furou s gases , chl orin e and nitric oxide , cla sses G and H per ASTM B845. However, this accelerated testing cannot duplicate every potential application environment.

Users should use caution ex posing a ny electr onic co mponents to uncont rolled c hemica l pollutants and cor rosive chemicals as electronic drive component reliability can be affected by the installation environment. The silver, copper, nickel and go ld films used in Se agate produ cts ar e espec ially sen sitive to the presen ce of sul fide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur is found to be the most damaging. In addition, electronic components should never be ex pose d to c ondensin g water on the surfac e of th e pri nted cir cuit bo ard a ssembly (PCBA ) or exposed to an ambient relative humidity greater than 95%. Materials used in cabinet fabrication, such as vulca nized rubber, that can outgas corros ive compounds should be m inimized or e liminated. Th e useful life of any electronic equipment may be extended by replacing materials near circuitry with sulfide-free alternatives.

• Keep the drive in the electrostatic discharge (ESG) bag until you are ready for installation.

• Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wrist stra p, or grou nd y ours elf frequently by touching the metal

chassis of a computer that is plugged into a grounded outlet. Wear a grounded wrist strap throughout the entire installation procedure.

• Handle the drive by its edges or frame only.

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

• Always rest the drive on a padded, antistatic surface until you mount it in the computer.

• Do not touch the connector pins or the printed circuit board.

• Do not remove the factory-installed labels from the drive or cover them with additional labels. Removal voids

the warranty. Some factory-installed l abe ls c on tai n i nfo rm ation needed to service the drive. Other l ab els are used to seal out dirt and contamination.

3.2 Breather filter hole precautions

This section contains information regarding the precautions to take with the breather filter hole in Seagate hard disc drives. Take the proper precautions to ensure ful l functionality and to prevent possib le damage to the drive.

Breather hole

Do not cover or seal this hole.

Figure 3. Breather filter hole location

Caution: Do not cover, seal, or insert any object into this h ole.

This hole has two purposes:

• To allow condensation inside the hard disc to escape

• To allow air pressure inside the hard disc to equalize with ambient pressure

Note. If this hole is cov ered, sealed, or pene trated by any object, d rive reliability may be compromised

and could lead to permanent damage--doing so voids the warranty.

3.3 Configuring the drive

Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. There is no master/slav e relationship because each dr ive is consider ed a master in a poi nt-to-point relationships. If two dr ives are attach ed on one Ser ial ATA host adapter, the host operati ng system views the two devices as if they were both “masters” on two separate ports. This means both drives behave as if they are Device 0 (master) devices.

Serial ATA drives are design ed for easy installation. It i s usual ly no t nec es sar y to se t a ny jumpers on the drive for proper operation; however, if you connect the drive and recei ve a “drive not detected” er ror, your SATAequipped motherboard or host adapter may use a chipset that does not support SATA speed autonegotiation. If you have a motherboard or host adapter that does not support autonegotiation:

• Install a jumper as shown in Figu re 4 bel ow to l im it the dat a transfer rate to 1.5 Gb its p er s ec ond (and le av e

the drive connected to the SATA-equipped motherboard or host adapter that doesn’t support autonegotiation) or

• Install a SATA host adapter that supports autonegotiation, leave the drive jumper block set to “Normal

operation” (see Figure the drive to a 1.5 Gbits/sec transfer rate.

Normal operation

Limit data transfer rate to

1.5 Gbits per second

3.4 Serial ATA cables and connectors

The Serial ATA interface cable consis ts of four conductor s in two differential pairs, plu s three ground co nnections. The cable size may be 30 to 26 AWG with a maximum length of one meter (39.37 inches). See Table 6 for connector pin definitions. Either end of the SATA signal cable can be attached to the drive or host.

For direct back plane co nnection , the dri ve connect ors ar e inserted directly into the h ost rec eptacle. The d rive and the host recep tacle incorporate fe atures that enable the direct connec tion to be hot pl uggable and blin d mateable.

For installations which require cables, you can connect the drive as illustrated in Figure 5.

3.5 Drive mounting

(

Recommended

You can mount the driv e in any orientatio n using four screws in the s ide-mountin g hole s or four screws i n the bottom-mounting holes. mounting precautions when mounting the drive:

• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 inches (0.76 mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.

• Use only 6-32 UNC mounting screws.

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

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