Recommended Mounting Configuration ---------------------------------- Maxtor 7000 Series drive design allows greater shock tolerance than that afforded by larger, heavier drives. The drive may be mounted in any attitude using four size 6-32 screws with 1/8" maximum penetration. Allow adequate ventilation to the drive to ensure reliable drive operation. Air Filtration System --------------------- All 7000 Series drives are designed to operate in a typical office environment with minimal environmental control. Over the life of the drive, a 0.3 micron filter and breather filter (located within the HDA) maintain a clean environment to the heads and disks. Read/Write Electronics ---------------------- An integrated circuit mounted within the sealed enclosure (near the read/write heads) provides one of four head selection (depending on the model), read preamplification, and write drive circuitry. Read/Write Heads and Disks -------------------------- Two low mass, low force read/write heads record data on two 3.5" diameter disks. Maxtor uses a sputtered thin film medium on all disks for 7000 Series drives. Drive Meachanism ---------------- A brushless DC direct-drive motor rotates the spindle at 3,551 RPM ( 0.1%). The dynamically balanced motor/spindle assembly ensures minimal mechanical runout to the disks. A dynamic brake provides a fast stop to the spindle motor upon power removal. The speed tolerance includes motor performance and motor circuit tolerances. Voice Coil Actuator ------------------- All 7000 Series drives employ a rotary voice coil actuator which consists of a moving coil, an E-block or actuator arm assembly, and stationary magnets. The actuator moves on a low-mass, low-friction center shaft. The low friction generated contributes to fast average access time and low power consumption. Automatic Headpark and Lock Operation ------------------------------------- Immediately following power-down, dynamic braking of the spinning disks delays momentarily and lets the heads move to an inner mechanical stop. A small fixed magnet holds the heads in place as the disk spin down. The heads are released only when power is again applied. 64K Cache ---------- Buffer Segmentation The data buffer is organized into three segments: the read buffer, the write buffer, and an optional micro controller scratch pad. The read segment occupies the upper half of the buffer and operates as a circular read-ahead buffer. The write segment occupies the lower half. During write operations, it contains the host write data. Command ATA Read Buffer (E4) and ATA Write Bufer (E8) are implemented per CAM specification 4a. Dual Drive Support ------------------ Two drives may be accessed via a common interface cable, using the same range of I/O addresses. The drives are jumpered as drive 0 or 1, and are selected by the drive select bit in the Drive/Head register of the task file. All Task File registers are written in parallel to both drives. The interface processor on each drive decides whether a command written to it should be executed; this depends on the type of command and which drive is selected. Only the drive selected executes the command and activates the data bus in response to host I/O reads; the drive not selected remains inactive. A master/slave relationship exists between the two drives: drive 0 is the master, and drive 1, the slave. Sector Address Translation -------------------------- All 7000 Series drives feature a Universal Translate Mode. In an AT-class system, the drive may be configured to any specified combination of cylinders, heads, and sectors (within the range of the drive's formatted capacity). The 7171A powers-up in the Translate Mode: Cylinders Heads Sectors 866 15 26 Interface Connector ------------------- All 7000 Series AT drives have a 40-pin interface connector mounted on the PCBA. The drive may connect directly to the host; or it can also accommodate a cable connection (maximum cable length: 18 inches). (Striped Edge = Pin 1) ********************************************************************** F E A T U R E S ********************************************************************** MAXTOR 7171A PRODUCT MANUAL PART #1249 REVISION P2 Introduction ------------ Maxtor 7000 Series AT disk drives are 1" high, 3.5" random access storage devices which incorporate an on-board AT controller. Maxtor engineers have applied recent advances in hard drive technology to the design and manufacture of these drives. High data transfer rates and fast access times make the 7171A especially well-suited to high- end desktop and entry level workstation applications. Defect Management ----------------- The 7171A has three (3) spare sectors per cylinder, located at the end of each cylinder. Upon detection of a bad sector that has been reassigned, the next sequential sector is used. The first spare sector makes up for the loss of sector 3, and so maintains the sequential order of data, with 2 spare sectors still allocated for that cylinder. This push down method assures maximum performance. In the rare occurrence that the number of reassigned bad sectors exceed the number of spare sectors allocated for that cylinder, an alternate track at the inner diameter of the disk is used. The 7171A has four (4) alternate tracks. Error Correction Code --------------------- The 7171A uses a Reed-Solomon code for error detection and correction. The error correction polynomial can correct one error burst with a maximum of 11 bits. Individual bursts ( 11 bits) are corrected without any resulting performance degradation. Zone Density Recording ---------------------- The disk capacity is increased with bit density management - common with Zone Density Recording. Each disk surface is divided into 7 circumferential zones. All tracks within a given zone contain a constant number of data sectors. The number of data sectors per track varies in different zones; the outermost zone contains the largest number of data sectors, and the innermost contains the fewest.

Execute Drive Diagnostics ------------------------- Commands the drive to implements the internal diagnostics tests. (These tests are executed only upon command receipt; they do not run automatically at power up or after a reset.) The drive sets BSY immediately upon receiving this command. This table presents the codes and their descriptions: Note that the value in the Error register should be viewed as a unique 8 bit Code. Error Code Description 01 no error detected 02 formatter device error 03 sector buffer error 04 ECC circuitry error 05 controller microprocessor error 8x slave drive failed Note: If a slave drive fails diagnostics, the master drive OR's 80 hex with its own status, and loads that code into the Error register. If a slave drive passes diagnostics (or a slave is absent), the master drive OR's 00 with its own status and loads that code into the Error register. ********************************************************************** G E N E R A L ********************************************************************** MAXTOR IDE INSTALLATION INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR AN IDE DRIVE --------------------------------------- 1. Install a 40 pin Data Cable ensuring that pin 1, which can be identified by the striped edge of the cable, is closest to the power connector on the drive. 2. Install a DC power cable to the back of the drive. 3. Verify the jumper configurations for Master/Slave operation (Note: Master will be the bootable drive. The slave will not be bootable.) Also make sure the existing C: drive is jumped to be the Master in a two drive system, not the only drive in the system. 4. Apply power to the computer. 4a. When memory test is complete go into your system's Standard CMOS set-up. (Note: There are various ways to get into CMOS set-up, please refer to system's manual for instructions.) 4b. If your system's BIOS supports a user programmable drive type, program the BIOS with the default parameters of your drive. If your system does not support a user programmable drive type choose parameters that closely match but do not exceed the drives MegaByte capacity. Escape from set-up then choose write to CMOS and exit. 5. Boot from a DOS diskette that has FDISK.EXE and FORMAT.COM on it. At the A> prompt type in FDISK. At the menu options select option 1 to create a DOS partition. Another menu will appear and from those options choose 1 to create a Primary DOS partition. Select yes to make 1 large partition and it will automatically become active. Then escape from FDISK. 6. At the A> prompt type in FORMAT C:/S This does a high-level format on the drive and transfers the system files in order for the drive to be bootable. (Note: IDE drives are low-level formatted from the manufacturer and only need a high-level format). To configure the drive as a slave drive repeat steps 1-4 and proceed with steps 5a. and 6a. as follows: 5a. At the C> prompt type in FDISK. When the menu options appear select option 5 to switch to the second drive. Enter fixed disk drive number 2. Then choose option 1 to create a DOS partition, then select option 1 again to create a Primary DOS partition or option 2 to create an Extended DOS partition. (Note: C and D drives will always be the Primary partitions but only the Primary partition on C: will have a status of active). 6a. Proceed with a high-level format on the drive by typing FORMAT D: (Note: Make sure the correct drive letter has been selected for format). 7. The drive is now bootable. As a test remove the DOS diskette from A and press reset to reboot the computer, a C> should be displayed, the drive is now ready for operation.
