Introduction
This manual describes the functional, mechanical and interface specifications for the Medalist
®
Pro 2520 and Medalist Pro 2160 hard disc
drives. The drives are referred to throughout this manual by their model
numbers, ST52520A for the Medalist Pro 2520 and ST52160A for the
Medalist Pro 2160.
Seagate
®
desktop products take a step into the future with the ST52520A
and ST52160A. These drives feature MR heads and PRML recording
technology, Fast ATA-2 performance, segmented cache, embedded
servo technology, low noise, power management and S.M.A.R.T. capabilities.
MR heads and PRML recording technology provide the drives with
increased areal density. This means that more data can be stored on a
single disc. Only two discs are used in the ST52520A and ST52160A
drives.
Fast ATA-2 performance means that the drives support P IO mode 4,
multiword DMA mode 2 transfer modes and multiple block read/write.
When the host chooses either transfer mode, the driv es provide burs ttransfer rates of up to 16.6 Mbytes per second. The multiple block
read/write feature allows the drives to store several blocks of data in
cache and transfer them in a single burst.
These drives use a 128-Kbyte segmented cache. Segmenting the cache
provides a designated area where blocks of contiguous read or write data
can be staged for transfer in a single burst.
The ST52520A and ST52160A drives have other features that ensure
fast data throughput. Embedded servo technology allows the drives to
position the heads for data retrieval efficiently and accurately while
eliminating the periodic thermal recalibration t hat can interrupt during
data transfers. These drives also use a 16-bit microprocessor and an
intelligent controller t hat provides data streaming: direct data transfers
between the drive and the host without microprocessor intervention.
These features allow for a sus tained data-transfer rate that facilitates
video playback and other multimedia operations.
These drives support Active, Idle and Standby power-management
modes. Power-saving modes can be controlled by the host computer.
Standby mode reduces power consumption to 1 watt (typical) while
retaining drive accessibility.
Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) is
available on these drives. Implementation of this feature is discussed on
page 35. To use the feature, you must have a BIOS, a software driver or
application software that supports S.M.A.R.T.
2 Medalist Pro 2520/2160 Product Manual, Rev. C
The ATA commands with specific applications for these drives and the
Seagate-unique commands the drives use are discussed in Section 3.0
on page 25. A complete list of the commands the drives support are found
in the table on page 27.
The following is a summary of the drives’ features:

1.5 Seek time
Seek value is the interval between the time the actuator begins to move
and the time the head has settled over the target track. Seek time is a
true statistical average of at least 10,000 measurements of seek time.
All measurements are taken under nominal conditions of temperature
and voltage with the drive mounted horizontally. The specifications in the
table below are defined as follows:
• Track -to-track seek time is the average of all possible s ingle-track
seeks in both directions.
• Average seek time is measured by executing seeks in both directions
between random cylinders.
• Ful l-stroke seek time is half the time needed to seek from track 0 to
the maximum track and back to track 0.

measured at the drive mounting screws. Shock measurements are based
on an 11 msec, half sine wave shoc k pulse, not to be repeated m ore than
twice per second.
During normal operating shock and vibration, there is no phys ic al damage to the drive or performance degradation. During nonoperating shock
and vibration, the read/write heads are positioned in the landing zone.
During abnormal operating shock and vibration, there is no physical
damage to the drives although performance may be degraded during the
shock or vibration episode. When normal operating shock levels resume,
the drive meets its performance specifications.

2.0 Configuring and mounting the drive
This section contains the specifications and instructions for configuring
and mounting the drive.
2.1 Handling and static-discharge precautions
After you unpack the drive, and before you install it in a system, be careful
not to damage it through mishandling. Observe the f ollowing standard
handling and static-discharge precautions:
Caution:
• Keep the drive in its static-shielded bag until you are ready to complete
the installation. Do not attach any cables to the drive while it is in its
static-shielded bag.
• Before handling the drive, put on a grounded wris t strap, or ground
yourself frequently by touching the metal chassis of a computer that
is plugged into a grounded outlet. Wear a grounded wrist strap
throughout the entire installation procedure.
• 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. Rem oval voids the warranty. Some factory-installed labels contain information needed t o service the driv e. Other
labels are used to seal out dirt and contamination.
18 Medalist Pro 2520/2160 Product Manual, Rev. C
2.2 I/O cable and connector
The drive uses a 40-pin, male I/O connector with two rows of twenty pins
each and a notch for keying. Pin 20 is removed for keying purposes. A
drawing of the I/O connector is shown in Figure 2. Pin 1 is located near
the 4-pin power connector when the I/O connector is mounted.

2.4 Options jumper block
The options jumper block (J5), shown in Figure 3, is used to configure
the drives for operation. It is the 8-pin dual header between the I/O
connector and the power connector. Pin 1 is l ocated next to the power
connector and is farthest from the printed circuit board. It accepts
0.1-inch jumpers. The options jumper block is used to:
• Configure the drive for single-drive operation
• Configure the drive as master with an ATA-compatible slave
• Configure the drive as the slave
• Configure the drive for alternate capacity
• Configure the drive for cable select
• I nstall a remote LED
The jumper settings for these options are shown in Figure 4 on page 20.
The drive is shipped with a spare jum per att ached to pins 6 and 8. Use
this jumper to configure the drive.

2.4.2 Alternate cap acit y jum pe r
This jumper lowers the drive capacity by setting the default translation to
1,024 cylinders. Some BIOSs that only auto-detect may require this
jumper. Place a jumper on pins 3 and 4 of the J5 options jum per bl ock
to enable this option. When installing this jumper, you may need thirdparty partitioning software to achieve full capacity of the drive.
2.4.3 Remote LED
You can connect a remote LED to pins 1(–) and 2(+) of the options jumper
block (J5). Do not install a shunt jumper on these pins.
Because the jumper block uses a 0.1-inch connector, you may need to
replace the current connector. Use Seagate connector part number
10562-001 or an equivalent.
2.4.4 Cable-select option
Computers that use cable-select determine the master and slave drives
by selecting or deselecting pin 28, CSEL, on the interface bus. Master
and slave drives are determined by their physical position on the cable.
• The drive plugged into the I/O connector that carries the CSEL signal
is the master.
• The drive plugged into the I/O connector that does not carry the CSEL
signal is the slave.
To configure the drives for computers that use cable select:
• I nstall jum pers on pins 5 and 6 and pins 7 and 8 as shown in
Figure 4 on page 20.
• Connect the drives to the cable as shown in Figure 5 on page 22.

3.2.2.1 PIO and DMA Data-Transfer Modes
You can set the multiword DMA mode and identify the PIO data-transfer
mechanism and transfer mode with the Set Features command. To set
the multiword DMA mode:
1.1.Write Set Features command value 03
(Set Data Transfer mode) to
H
the Features register.
Write a transfer types value to the Sector Count register. The upper 5
2.
bits of this value define the type of data transfer, and the lower 3 bits
encode the mode value.
This changes word 63 of the Identify Drive command to the mode you
enter in the Sector Count register.
The following table identifies allowable transfer types values:

3.2.3 Standby timer tim eo ut period
The Idle command and Standby command Sector Count registers are
used to activate t he Standby timer. The host can enable the Standby
timer by placing a value in the sector-count register of the Idle command
or Standby command. The value corresponds to a predetermined period
of drive inactivity. The table below lists the values the Seagate drives use
and their corresponding timeout period.

3.2.5 Auto Relocation
This feature allows the drive to identify grown media defects and to
reallocate the sector without host intervention using both Read and Write
Auto Relocation.
The Read Relocation can be disabled by using the Set Feature command
Disable Read Auto Relocation, feature value 84
. This feature is not
H
implemented for the Read Long command.
Medalist Pro 2520/2160 Product Manual, Rev. C 35
The Write Relocation, in addition to write cache, can be disabled by using
the Set Feature command Disable Write Cache, f eature value 82
H.
This
feature is not implemented for the Write Long command.
Write Relocation and write cache are both disabled using value 82
H
These features are mutually exclusive.
3.2.6 S.M.A.R.T. command (B0H)
Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) is an
emerging technology that provides near-term failure prediction for disc
drives. When S.M.A.R.T. is enabled, the Seagate drive monitors predetermined attributes within its elf that are susceptible to degradation over
time. S.M.A.R.T. makes a status report available s o that the host can
prompt the user to back up the drive if self-monitoring determines that a
failure is likely. Not all failures are predictable. S.M.A.R.T. predictabil ity
is limited to only those attributes the drive can monitor.
The S.M.A.R.T. feature is disabled at the factory. You must have a BIOS,
software driver or application software that supports S.M.A.R.T. to
enable this feature. The table below shows the S.M.A.R.T. command
codes the Seagate drives use.
To implement a S.M.A.R.T. command, the host must write the
Note.
value 0x4F to Cylinder_lo register and the value 0xC2 to the
Cylinder_hi register at the same time it writes the S.M.A.R.T.
command code to the Features register. If these values are not
included with the command code, the command will be aborted
and 0x04 (abort) will be written to the Error register.
