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 hos t equipment to provide adeq uate power and environment in order to a chieve optimum performance and compliance with applicable industry a nd governmental regulations. Special attention must be given in the areas of safety, power distribution, shielding, audible noise control, and temperature regulation. In par ticular, the drive must be securely m ount ed in o rder to guarante e th e spec ified pe rformanc e characteristics. Mounting by bottom holes must meet the requirements of Section 8.5.

2.1 Standards

The Cheetah 9LP FC family complies with Seagate standards as noted in the appropriate sections of this manual and the Seagate

The Cheetah 9LP 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 f or s ystem integr ation and installation into a suitable enclosure prior to use. As such the drive is supplied as a subassembly and is not subjec t 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 shielding. As such, the drive is capable of meeting the Class B limits of the FCC Rules and Regulations 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 do es not provide adeq uate shielding. If the I /O cables are extern al to the enclosure, shielded cables should be used, with the shields grounded to the enclosure and to the host controller.

3.0 General description

CheetahTM 9LP FC drives are random access storage devices designed to suppor t the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) and SCSI Fibre Channel Protocol as described in the ANSI specifications, this document, and the acteristics of this drive. ST39102FC drives are classified as intelligent peripherals and provide level 2 conformance (highest level) with the ANSI SCSI-1 standard.

You can view the Fibre Cha nnel interface as a transpor t vehicle for the suppor ted command set (ST 39102FC drives use the SCSI command set). In fact, the Fibre Channel interface is unaware of the content or meaning of the information being transported. It simply packs the SCSI commands in frames, transports them to the appropriate devices, and provides error checking to ensure that the information reaches its destination accurately. Refer to the docume nts referenced in Section 2.2 if you requi re additional in formation about the Fibre Channel interface, FC-AL topology, or the SCSI fibre channel protocol.

The head and disc as sembly (HDA) is environmentally sealed at the factory. Air recirculates within the HDA through a non-replaceable filter to maintain a contamination-free HDA environment.

See Figure 2 for an exploded view of the drive. Never disassemble the HDA. This exploded view is for information only. Do not attempt to service items in the sealed enclosure (heads, media, actuator, etc.) as this requires special facilities. The drive contains no parts replaceable by the user and opening the HDA for any reason voids your warranty.

sibility 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 disen gages and the head load process begins when power is applied to the drive.

The drives also use a high-performance actuator assembly design that provides excellent performance with minimum power dissipation.

4.3 S tar t/st op time

If the Motor Start option is disabled, the drive becomes ready within 30 seconds after DC power is applied. If a recoverable error condition is detected during the start sequence, the drive executes a recovery procedure and the time to become ready may exceed 30 seconds. During the star t sequence, the drive responds to some commands over the FC-AL interface. Stop time is less than 30 seconds (maximum) from removal of DC power.

If the Motor Start option is enabled, the internal controller accepts the commands listed in the

Interface Manual

less than 3 seconds aft er DC power has been applied. A fter the Motor Star t command has

Fibre Channel

been received, the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 30 seconds (excluding the error recovery procedure). The Motor Start command can also be used to comman d the drive to stop the spindle.

There is no power control switch on the drive.

4.4 Prefetch/multi-segmented cache control

The drive provides a prefetch/multi-segmented cache algorithm that in many cases can en hance system performance. To sel ec t this feature the host s ends the Mode Selec t comm and with t he proper values in the applicable bytes in page 08h. Default is prefetch and read cache enabled.

If the Prefetch feature is enabled, data in contiguous logical blocks on the disc i mmediately 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 subs eque nt Read commands tha t reques t t hos e lo gical blocks (this is t rue even if cache operation is disabled). To enable Prefetch, use 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 segments, the host can limit the amount of prefetch data to optimize system performance. The Max Prefetch field (bytes 8 and 9) limits the amount of prefetch. The drive does not use the Prefetch Ceiling field (bytes 10 and 11).

4.5 Cache operation Note. Refer to the

Fibre Channel Interface Manual

for more detail concerning the cache bits.

Cheeta h 9LP FC Product Manual, Rev . C 11

Of the 1,024 Kbytes physical buffer space in the drive, 967.5 Kbytes can be u sed as a cache. The cache can be 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 cache. If the cache is enabled (see RCD bit in the command is retriev ed from the cache, if possible, before any disc access is initiated. Data in contiguous logical blocks immediately beyond that requested by the Read command c an be retrieved and stored in the cache for immediate transfer to the initiator on subsequent read commands. This is referred to as the prefetch operation. Since data that is prefetched may replace data already in the cach e segm ent , an i nitiator c an l imit the am ount of prefetch data to optimize system performance. The drive never prefetches more sectors than the number specified in bytes 8 and 9 of M ode page 08h. If t he cache is not enabl ed, 967.5 Kbytes of the buffer are used as a circular buffer for read/writes, with no prefetch operation and no segmented cache operation.

The following is a simplified description of the prefetch/cache operation: Case A—read command is received and the first logical block is already in cache:

1. Drive transfers to the initiator the first logical block requested plus all subsequent contiguous logical blocks

that are already in the cache. This data may be in multiple segments.

2. When a requested logical block is reached tha t is not in a ny segment , the drive fetches it and any remain-

ing requested logical block addresses from the disc and puts them in a segm ent of the cache. The dr ive transfers the remaining requested logical blocks from the cache to the initiator in accordance with the “buffer-full” ratio specification given in Mode Select Disconnect/Reconnect parameters, page 02h.

3. The drive prefetches additional logical blocks contiguous to those transferred in step 2 above and stores

them in the segme nt. The drive stops filling the segment when the maximum p refetch value has been transferred.

Fibre Channel Interface Manual

), data requested by the host with a read

Case B—read comman d is recei ved and the fi rst logical block addres s re queste d is n ot in any segm ent of the cache.

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

from there to the initiator in accordance with t he “buffer-full” ratio specification given in Mode Select Disconnect/Reconnect parameters, page 02h.

2. The drive prefetches additional logical blocks contiguous to those transferred in Case A, step 2 above and

stores th em in the segm ent. The drive s tops filling the segment wh en the maximum prefetch value has been transferred.

During a prefetch, the drive crosses a cylind er bound ary to fetch data only if the Dis continuity (DISC) bit is s et to 1 in bit 4 of byte 2 of the Mode Select parameters page 08h. Default is zero for bit 4.

Each cache segment is actually a self-contained circul ar buffer whose length is an integer number of logical blocks. The wrap-around capability of the individual segments greatly enhances the cache’s overall performance, allowing a wide range of user-selectable configurations. The drive suppor ts operation of any integer number of segments f rom 1 to 16. Divide th e 9 67.5 K bytes in the buffer by the number of segments t o get the segment size. Default is 3 segments.

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

value 0XFFFF is always reported regardl es s of the ac tual size of the segment. Sending a size s pecification 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 dat a t o be written to the medium is stored while the drive performs the Write command.

Write caching is enabled independently of read caching. Write caching is enabled by default. To disable the write cache, use the Write Caching Enable (WCE) bit.

For write caching, the same buffer space and segmentation is used as set up for read functions. Wh en a write command is issued , the cache is first checked to see if a ny logical blocks that are to be written are al ready

12 Cheetah 9LP FC Product Manual, Rev. C

stored in the cache from a previous read or wr ite command. If there are, the respective cache segm ents are cleared. The new data is cached for subsequent read commands.

If a 10-byte CDB Write command (2Ah) is issued with the data page out (DPO) bit set to 1, no write data is cached, but the cache segm ents are s till checked and cleared, if need be, for any logical blocks that are bei ng written.

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. Howev er, the drive does not overwrite data that has not yet been written to the medium.

5.0 Reliability specifications

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

Seek error rate: Recoverable media error rate

Less than 10 errors in 10 Less than 10 errors in 10

5.1 Error rates

The erro r rates stated in th is 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.”

• The drive has been formatted with the FC-AL Format command.

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

5.1.1 Environmental interference

When evaluating systems operation under c onditions of electromagn etic interference (EMI), the performance of the drive within the system is c onsid ered acceptable if the drive doe s not gene rate a n unrecoverable condition.

An unrecoverable error, or condition, is defined as one that:

• is not detected and corrected by the drive itself

• is not detected from the error or fault status provided through the drive or FC-AL interface

• is not recovered by normal drive or system recovery procedures without operator intervention

5.1.2 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. Th e total error rate for a loop of devices is the sum of the individual device error rates.

5.1.3 Write errors

Write errors can occur a s a result of media defects, environmental interference, or equipment malfunc tion. 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. Unrecoverable write errors are those that cannot be corrected w ithin two at tempts at writing the record with a read verify after each attempt (excluding media defects).

5.1.4 Seek errors

A seek error is defined as a fail ure of the drive to position the heads to the addressed track. If the error recovery fails, a seek positioning error (15h) is reported with a Medium (03h) or Hardware Error (04h) reported in the sense key. This is an unrecoverable seek error. Unrecove rable seek errors are classified as failures for MTBF calculations.

5.2 S.M.A.R.T.

S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitor ing Analysis and Re por ting Technology. This tec hnology is intended to recognize conditions that indicate imminen t drive failure and is designed t o provide sufficient war ning of a failure to allow you to back up the data before an actual failure occurs.

Note. The drive’s firmware monitors specific a ttributes for degradation over time but can’t predict in stanta-

neous drive failures.

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

Controling S.M.A.R.T.

The operating mode of S.M.A.R.T. is controlled by the DEXCPT and PERF bits on the Informational Exceptions 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. collects on-line data as the drive performs normal read and wri te 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 through the host to determine the time remaining before the next scheduled measurement and data logging process occurs. To accomplish this, issue a Log Sense command to log page 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 (DEXCPT = 0; PERF = 1) processing delay is 35 ms. The maxi mum fully-enabled (DE XC PT = 0, PERF = 0) processing delay is 220 ms.

Repor tin g c on t rol

Reporting is controlled by the MRIE bits in the Informa tional 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 which errors occur and signals a predictive failure if the rate of degraded errors increases to an unacceptable 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 operation. The al gorithm that S.M.A.R.T. uses to record 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 predi ctive failures when the drive is p erforming unac cept ably for a period of tim e. The fir m ware keeps a running count of the number of times the error rate for each attribute is unacceptable. To accomplish this, a counter is in cremented eac h time the error rate is una cceptable and decrem ented (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.

5.3 Reliability and service

The reliability of Cheetah 9LP F C disc drives can be enhanc ed by ensuring that t he drive receives adequate cooling. This section provides recommended air-flow information, temperature measurements, and other information, which you can use to enhance the service life of the drive.

5.3.1 Mean time between failure (MTBF)

The production disc drive achieves an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours when operated in an environment that ensures the case temperates specified in Section 8.4.1 are not exceeded. Shor t-term excursions up to the specification limits of the operating environment will not affect MTBF performanc e. Operating the drive at case temperatures above these values will adversely affect the drive’s ability to meet specifications. See Section 6.4, “Environmental limits” on page 21.

The following expression defines MTBF:

MTBF = Estimated power-on operating hours in the period

Number of drive failures in the period

Estimated power-on operating hours means the estimated to tal power-on hours for all drives in service. Dr ive failure means any stoppage or substandard performance caused by drive malfunction.

MTBF is based on the following criteria:

• 8,760 power-on hours per year

• 250 average on/off cycles per year

• Read/seek/write operation during 20% of power-on hours

• Operating at nominal voltages

• System provides adequate cool ing to ensure the case temperatures specified in Figures 8 and 9 are not exceeded. Short ter m excursions up to the specification limits of the operating environment will not affect MTBF performance.

Data is calc u lated on a ro lling-average base for a minimum pe riod of six months. A S.M.A.R.T. predictive failure indicates that the drive is deteriorating to an imminent failure and is considered

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

5.3.2 Field failure rate vs time

The expected field failure rate is listed below. Drive utilization will vary. An estimate range of utilization is:

• 720 power-on hours (POH) per month

• 250 on/off cycles per year

• Read/seek/write operation 20% of POH

Month Parts per mil li on (PPM)

1 2,364 2 1,422 3 1,403 4 1,391 5 1,317 6 1,255 7 1,162 8+ 1,025

16 Cheetah 9LP FC Product Manual, Rev. C

Failure rate is calculated as follows:

• No system-induced failures counted

• PPM targets include 30% no defect found and handling failures

• Based on 1,000,000 MTBF and 720 POH per month

• Month 1’s rate includes a 300 PPM installation failure

5.3.3 Preventive maintenance

No routine scheduled preventive maintenance is required.

5.3.4 Service life

The drive has a useful service life of five years. Depot repair or replacement of major par ts is permitted during the lifetime.

5.3.5 Servi ce ph il osophy

Special equipment is requ ired to repair the dri ve HDA. To achieve the above service life, repairs must be performed only at a properly equipped and staffed Seagate ser vice and repair facility. Tr oubleshooting and repair of PCBs in the field is not recommended because of the extensive diagnostic equipment required for effective servicing. The drive warranty is voided if the HDA is opened.

5.3.6 Service tools

No special tools are required for site installation or recommended for site maintenance. The depot repair philosophy of the drive precludes the necessity for special tools. Field repair of the drive is not practical because users cannot purchase individual par ts for the drive.

5.3.7 Product warranty

Beginning on the date of ship men t to the c usto mer an d cont inuing for a period o f five years, Seagate warrants that each product (inc luding compone nts and s ubassemblies) that fails to function properly und er nor mal us e due to defect in materials or workmanship o r due to nonconformance to the applicable specifications will be repaired or replaced, at S eagate’s option and at no charge to the customer, if returned by customer at c ustomer’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 purchase 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 ca n also det er mi ne rem ain ing warranty using t he Sea gate web s ite (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 Seagate Approved Package label. Shipping a drive in a non-approved container voids the drive warranty.

Seagate repair centers may refuse recei pt of components improper ly packaged or obviously dam aged in transit. Contact your authorized S eagate d istributor to purchas e additional boxes. Seagate recommends shipping by an air-ride carrier experienced in handling computer equipment.

Product repair and return information

Seagate customer service cent ers 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.

5.3.8 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 synchron ize to a different input signa l. FC error det ection mechanisms, character sync, running disparity, word sync, and CRC are able to detect any error. Recov ery is initiated based on the type of error.

Cheeta h 9LP FC Product Manual, Rev . C 17

The disc drive defaults to the FC-AL Monitoring state, Pass-through state, when it is powered-on by switching the power or hot plugged. The control line to an optional por t bypass circuit (external to the dr ive), 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 performs 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 operation may continue. If the bypass circuit is not present, loop operation will be halted 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 state. The receiver on the next device in the loop must synchronize to output 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 o f the s ystem s int egrator to ass ure t hat 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 ca rrier prio r to inserting it into the syst em.

Caution. The drive motor must come to a complete stop prior to changing the plane of operation. This time is

required to insure data integrity.

6.0 Physical/electrical specifications

This section provides information relating to the physical and electrical characteristics of the drive.

6.1 AC power requirements

None.

6.2 DC power requirements

The voltage and current req uirements for a single drive are s hown below. On-board +3.3V current is der ived entirely from the +5V supply. Values indicated apply at the drive connecto r. Param eters, others than spindl e start, are measured after a 10-minute warm-up.

[2] A –10% tolerance is allowed during initial spindle start but must retur n to ±5% before reaching 10,000

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

pleted and that the drive is able to accept selection by the host initiator. [3] See +12V current profile in Figure 3. [4] This condition occurs when the Motor S tart opt ion is enabled and the drive has not yet received a Star t

Motor co mmand. [5] See paragraph 6.2.1, “Conducted noise immunity.” Specified voltage tolerance includes ripple, noise, and

transient response. [6] At power up, the motor current regulator limits the 12 volt current to an ave rage value of less than 2.1

amperes, although instantaneo us peaks may exceed this value. These peaks shou ld measure 5 msec

duration or less. [7] Operating condition is defined as a t hird s troke seek at OD and R ead O ne track. Command issued every

42 ms. [8] During idle, the heads are relocated e very 60 seconds to a random location within the band from track 0 to

one-fourth of maximum track. This will result in a random variation in the +12 volt idle curren t of 0.0152

Amperes (0.182 Watts).

General DC power requirement notes.

1. Minimum current loading for each supply voltage is not less than 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.

Cheeta h 9LP FC Product Manual, Rev . C 21

6.4 Environmental limits

Temperature and h umi dity values experienced by the drive must be s uch th at con dens ation do es not oc cur on any drive part. Altitude and atmospheric pres sure 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 MTBF specification for the drive is based on ope rating at a local am bient temperature of 86°F (3 0°C). Occasional excursions to drive ambient te mperatures to 122°F (50°C) or 4 1°F (5°C) may occur without impact to specified MTBF. The e nclosure for the drive should be designed such that the PCBA and case temperatures listed in Section 8.4.1 and illustrated in Figures 8 and 9 on page 30 are not exceeded. Air flow may be needed to achieve these temperature values. Continual or sustained operation at case temperatures above these values will degrade MTBF.

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 when the case temperature limits specified above are not exceeded.

b. Non-operating

Non-operating temperature should remain between –40°F to 158°F (–40°C to 70°C) package ambient with a maximum gradient of 36°F (20°C) per hour. This assumes that the drive is packaged i n the s hipping c ontainer designed by Seagate.

6.4.2 Relative humidity

The values below assume that no condensation on the drive occurs. a. Operating

5% to 95% relative humidity with a maximum gradient of 10% per hour.

b. Non-operating

5% to 95% relative humidity.

6.4.3 Effective altitude (sea level reference)

a. Operating

–1,000 to +10,000 feet (–305 to +3,048 meters)

b. Non-operating

–1,000 to +40,000 feet (–305 to +12,210 meters)

6.4.4 Shock and vibration

Shock and vibration limits spe cified in this doc um ent are me as ured di rectly on t he d rive ch assis. If the drive is installed in an enclosure to which the stated s hock and/or vibration cr iteri a are appli ed, resonances 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 in a vertical or horizontal position and in accordance w ith the restrictions of Section 8.4 . Or ientation of the side neares t the LED may be up or down.

6.4.4.1 Shock

a. Operating (normal)

The drive, as installed for normal operation, will operate error free while s ubjected t o i nte rm ittent shock not exceeding 2.0 Gs at a m ax imum duration of 11 msec (h alf sinewave). Shock may be applied in the X , Y, or Z axis.

b. Operating (abnormal)

Equipment as installed for norm al operation will not incur physical damage whi le subjected to inter mittent shock not exceeding 10 Gs at a maximum duration of 11 msec (ha lf sinewave). Shock occurring at abnor-

22 Cheetah 9LP FC Product Manual, Rev. C

mal 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 apply to all conditions of handling and transpo rtati on. This includes both isolated drives and integrated drives.

The drive subjected to non-repetitive shock not exceeding 75 Gs at a maximum duration of 11 msec (half sinewave) will not exhibit device damage or performance degradation. Shock may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.

The drive subjected to non-repetitive shock not exceeding 140 Gs at a maximum of 2 msec (half sinewave) will 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 pa lletized) general freight will be packaged to w ithstand 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).

6.4.4.2 Vibration

a. Operating (normal)

The drive as installed for normal operation will operate error free while subjected to continuous vibration not exceeding:

5–350 Hz @ 0.5 G

Vibration may be applied on the X, Y, or Z axis.

b. Operating (abnormal)

Equipment as installed for normal operation will not incur physical damage while subjected to periodic vibration not exceeding:

15 minutes of duration at major resonant frequency 5–350 Hz @ 0.75 G

Vibration occuring at these levels may degrade operating performance during the abnormal vibration period. Specified operating pe rform ance wi ll cont inue when normal operating v ibration levels are resumed. This assumes system recovery routines are available. Abnormal vibration may be applied on the X, Y, or Z axis.

c. Non-operating

The limits of non-operating vibration a pply to all conditions of handling and transpor tation. This includes both isolated drives and integrated drives.

The drive will not incur physical damage or degraded performance as a result of continuous vibration not exceeding:

5–22 Hz @ 0.040 in. (1.02 mm) displacement 22–400 Hz @ 2.00 Gs

Vibration may be applied in the X, Y, or Z axis.

6.4.5 Air cleanliness

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

Cheeta h 9LP FC Product Manual, Rev . C 23

6.5 Electromagnetic susceptibility

As a component part, t he drive is not required to meet any s usceptibility performance req uirements. It is the responsibility of the system integrator to perform tests required to ensure that equipment operating in the same system as the drive does not adversely affect the performance of the drive. See paragraph 6.2, “DC power requirements.”

7.0 Defect and error management

The drive, as delivered, complies with t his p roduc t manua l. The read error rates and s pecified s torage ca pacities are not dependent upon use of defect management routines by the host (initiator).

Defect and error management in the SC SI protocol involves the drive internal de fect/error management and FC-AL system error considerations (errors in communications between the initiator and the drive). T ools for use in designing a defect/error management plan are briefly outlined in this section. References to other sections are provided when necessary .

7.1 Drive internal 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 loc ation 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 SCSI commands suppor ted by the drive are described in the Also, more information on the drive Error Recovery philosophy is presented in the

Manual

7.2 Drive error recovery procedures

When an error occurs during drive operation, the drive, if programmed to do so, performs error recovery procedures to attempt to recover the data. The error recovery procedures used depend on the options previously set in the Error Recovery Parameters mode page. Error recovery and defect management may involve using several SCSI comm ands described in the recovery time limits required in video applications.

The error recovery scheme supported by the drive provides a way to control the total error recovery time for the entire co m mand in addition to c ontrolling the r ecovery level for a sin gle LBA. The total amo unt of time spent i n error recovery for a command can be limited using the Recovery Time Lim it bytes in the Error Recovery mode page. The total amount of time spent in error recovery for a single LB A can be l imited using the Rea d Retry Count or Write Retry Count bytes in the Error Recovery mode page.

The drive firmware error recovery algorithms consists of 12 levels for read recoveries and five levels for write. Each level may consist of multiple steps, where a st ep 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 de ter m ined by the read a nd write retry counts.

Table 2 eq uates the read and wr ite retry count wit h 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.

Fibre Channel Interface Manual

Fibre Channel Interface

. The drive implements selectable error

26 Cheetah 9LP FC Product Manual, Rev. C

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. Howev er, the drive does not report any unrecovered errors.

[1] Setting these retry counts to a value below the default setting could result in degradation of the unrecov-

ered error rate. For example, suppose the read/write recovery page has the RC bit = 0, the read retry count set to 4, and the recovery time limit set to 450. A 4-block read command can take up to 149.3 msec recovery time for each bl ock and a maximum of 450 msec recovery f or all four blocks. If either of these limits is reached and a block has not yet been recovered, the command will end with Check Conditi on status and an unrecoverable read error will be reported.

7.3 FC-AL system errors

Information on the repor ting of operational errors or faults across the interface is given in the

Interface Manual

. The FCP Response returns information to the host about numerou s kinds of errors or faults.

Fibre Channel

The Receive Diagnostic Results reports the results of diagnostic operatons performed by the drive. Status returned by the drive to the initiator is described in the

Fibre Channel Interface Manual.

Status reporting plays a role in systems error management and its use in that respect is described in sections where the various commands are discussed.

Cheeta h 9LP FC Product Manual, Rev . C 27

8.0 Installation

Cheetah 9LP 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 connect or (FC -SCA ) 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 IDs (SEL

IDs) on the backpanel so that no two devices have the same selection ID. This is called the hard assigned arbitrated loop physical address (AL_PA). There are 125 AL_PAs available (see Table 21 on p age 52). 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 un ique hard addresses (and therefore have duplicate selection IDs assigned to two or more devices), the FC -AL ge nerates a m ess age in dicating t his condition. If you set the AL_PA on the backpanel to a value of 0, the system issues a unique soft -assi gned phys ic al address automatically .

Loop initialization is the process used to verify or obtain an address. The loop initialization process is performed when power is applied to the drive, when a device is added or removed from the Fibre Channel 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 reformat 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 t he interface connector (J1). Table 18 on page 48 provides the pin descriptions for the 40-pin Fibre Channel single connector (J1).

8.2 LED connections

A connector, J6, is provided on the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) to provide por t bypass, drive active, and drive fault LED connections (see Figu re 6 on page 28). See Sec tions 9.5.7, 9.5.8, and 9.5.9 for descr iptions of LED functions.

8.3 Drive orientation

The drive may be moun ted 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.

8.4 Cooling

Cabinet cooling must be designed by the customer so that the ambient temp erature immedi ately surrounding the drive will not exceed temper ature conditions specified in Section 6 .4.1, “Temperature.” Spec ific cons ideration should be given to make sure adequate air circulation is present around the printed circuit board (PCB) to meet the requirements of Section 6.4.1, “Temperature.”

Cheeta h 9LP FC Product Manual, Rev . C 29

8.4.1 Air flow

The rack, cabinet, or drawer environment for the drive must provide cooling of the electronics and head and disc assembly (HDA). You should c onfirm that adequate cooling is prov ided using the temperatu re measurement guidelines described below.

The drive should be oriented, or air flow directed, so that the least amount of air-flow resistance is created while providing air flow to the electronics and HDA. Also, the shortest possible path between the air inlet and exit should be chosen to minimize the travel length of air heated by the drive and other heat sources within the rack, cabinet, or drawer environment.

Possible air-flow patterns are s hown i n F igure 7. T he air-flow patterns are c reated by one or more fans, either forcing or drawing air as shown in th e illustrations. Other ai r-flow patter ns are acc eptable as long as the temperature measurement guidelines are met.

To confirm that the required cooling for the electronics and HDA is provided, place the drive in its final mechanical configuration, perform random write/read operations and, after the tem peratures stabilize, measure the case temperature of t he co mpo nent s listed below. Component reference locations are shown i n F igure 8. T he

typical ambient air temperature associated with the list is 25

C and the resulting MTBF is 1,000,000 hours.

Figure 7 shows the air flow pattern used to generate the 1,000,000 hours MTBF temperature guidelines listed below. Local average air velocities were 235 lpm (1.2 m/s) and air temperature was 77°F (25°C) pl us a 5°C temperature rise in the test enclosure (30°C ambient local to the drive).

To obtain the m aximum temperature for each of the reference components l isted, add 20°C to the 1,00 0,000 hour MTBF case temperatures. The maximum allowable HDA case temperature is 60°C (see Figure 9). Operation of the dr ive at the max imum case temperature is intended for shor t time per iods only.

8.5 Drive mounting

Mount the drive using the bottom or side mounting holes. If you mount the drive using the bottom holes, 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:

K x X = F <

15lb = 67N

where K is the mounting surface stiffness (units in lb/in or N/mm) and X is the out-of-plane surface distor tion (units in i nches or milli meters) . Th e out-of-plane di stor tion ( X) is deter mine d by defini ng a plane with three of the four mounting points fixed and evaluating the out-of-plane def lection of the four th mounting point when a known force (F) is applied to the fourth point.

8.6 Grounding

Signal ground (PCBA) and HDA ground are connected t ogether in the dr ive and cannot be separated by the user. Maximizing the conductive contact area between HDA ground and system ground may reduce radiated emissions. If you do not want the system chassis to be connected to the HDA/PCBA ground, you must provide a nonconductive (electrically i solating) m ethod of mounting the dri ve in the host equi pm ent; however, this may increase radiated emissions and is the system designer’s responsibility.

9.2 Dual port suppor t

ST39102FC drives have two independent FC-AL por ts. These ports may be connected on in dependent loops or on the same loop. Port A and Port B may be connected in any order or combination.

• If both ports are connected on independent loops and hard addressing is used, the drive interface address is selected through the interface connector, both ports will seek the same loop address. If no conflict, both por ts w ill h ave the same loop address.

• If both ports are connect ed in the sam e loo p and hard ad dres sing is used, at leas t one port will attempt taking a soft address to prevent an address conflict.

Note. When a ST39102FC dr ive 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 prod uc t manuals.

Subject to buffer availability, the Chee tah 9LP FC drives support:

• Concurrent por t transfers—The drive support s receiving transfers on both por ts at the sa me time when the ports are on independent loops.

inquiry data

9.3.2 Mode Se nse data

The Mode Sen se c om man d provides a way for the drive to report i ts o perating param ete rs to the ini tiator. 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 recei ve from the drive a list of default values and use those in a Mode Select com mand 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 changed can be changed by this method. Parameters in the saved values list that are not changeable by the Mode Select command get their values from default values storage.

When power is applied to the drive, it t akes saved values f rom 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 m edia p rior t o shi pping the dri ve. Some drives may have unique firmware with unique default values also.

On standard OEM dr ives, the saved values are taken from the default values list and stored into the saved values storage location on the media prior to shipping.

3. Current values

Current values are volatile values being used by the drive to control its operation. A Mode Select command can be used to chan ge the values iden tified as chang eable values. Originally, current values are installed from saved or default values after a power on reset, hard reset, or Bus Device Reset message.

Cheeta h 9LP FC Product Manual, Rev . C 43

4. Changeable values Changeable values form a bit mask, stored in nonvolatile memory, that dictates which of the current values

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 15, refer to Mode page 81, in the row entitled “CHG.” Th ese are hex numbers representing the chan geable values for Mode pa ge

81. Note in columns 5 and 6 (bytes 04 and 05), there is 00h which indicates that in bytes 04 and 05 none of the bits are changea ble. Note also that bytes 06, 07, 09 , 10, and 11 are not chan geable, because those fields are all zeros. In byte 02, hex value 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 drive control firmware in the total population of

drives in the field, the Mode Sense values given in the following tables may not exactly match those of some drives.

The following tables list the values of the data bytes returned by the drive in response to the Mode Sense command pages for SCSI implementation (see the

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

9.5.1 Physical characteristics

This section defines physical interface connector.

9.5.1.1 Physical description

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 obt ain valid addresses.

Port bypass circuits (PBCs) allow devices to be inserted i nto unpop ulated locations or rem oved from the loop with loop operation recovery after a brief interruption. These PB Cs are located external to the FC-AL device. Figure 11 shows the relationship between the PBC and FC-AL device.

9.5.6 Power

Power is supplied through the FC-S CA 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 provi de +12 v ol t po wer to the drive. The current return for t he +12 volt power supply is through the common ground pins. The sup ply current and return current must be distributed as evenly as poss ible among the pins. The maximum current typically occurs while the drive motor is starting.

Three 5 volt pins provide logic power to the drive. The current return for the +5 volt power supply is through the common ground pins. Distribute supply and return current as evenly as possible among the v oltage 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 are shorter to allow capacitive pre-charging through the longer +12 volt charge pin. 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 c urrent-limiting resistor. The LED and the current-limiting resistor are external to the drive.

9.5.8 Active LED Out

The Active LED Out signal is driven by the drive as indicated in Table 19.

Table 19: Active LED Out conditions

Normal command activity LED status

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

50 Cheetah 9LP FC Product Manual, Rev. C

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 Port A (– EN BYP P ort A ) and – Enab le Bypass Port B (– EN BYP Port B) signals control 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 por t. When an Enable Bypass s ignal is active, the corresponding Port Bypass L ED 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 sequence, or on removal of the drive. In the bypass 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 start con trols

The drive’s motor is star ted according to the S tart_1 and Star t_2 signals described in Table 20. The stat e of these signals can be wired into the backplane socket or driven by logic on the backplane.

T able 20: Motor start control si gnals

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 St art command is rec eived. 3 Low High M otor spins up after a delay of 12 s econds times the modul o 8 value of

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

4 High High The drive will not spin up.

9.5.11 SEL_6 through SEL_0 ID lines

The SEL_6 through SEL_0 ID lines d etermine drive address, and, optionally, for an Enclosure Ser vices Interface. When the Parallel ESI line is high, the enclosure backpanel must provide address information on the SEL line. Refer to table 21 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 dr ives does not provide pull up resistors on these l ines. The backpanel is required to provide high and low inpu ts to the S E L_ID line s per t he spec ifications i n ta ble 22 on page 53.

Note. Table 21 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 line s and that a “soft” address will be deter mined by FC-AL loop initialization.

When the Parallel ESI line is low, the enclosure backpanel logic switches t o E S I m ode i f su pported. There are two modes of ESI, seven bits of enclosure status and a bidirectional mode. ESI sup port and the mode are determined by the dr ive us ing a discover y proc ess. Refer to the

Fibre Channel Inte rface Manual

for a descrip-

tion of ESI operation.

Cheeta h 9LP FC Product Manual, Rev . C 51

9.5.11.1 Parallel Enclosure Services Interface (ESI)

The parallel ESI line is an outp ut from the drive. This line provides the enclosure with an indication of t he present function of the SE L lines. A high level, the default state, indicates the drive requires address i nformation 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 support the address function. Support of ESI is discovered by the drive. Refer to the

Fibre Channel Interface Manual

for a description of ESI operations.
