This is the default. - To select the drive power connector as the termination power source for the resistor packs, install a jumper on pins 1 and 3 of the terminator power source jumper block. - To select the SCSI connector as the termination power source for the resistor packs, install a jumper on pins 1 and 2 of the terminator power source jumper block. - To provide terminator power to the SCSI connector from the drive power connector only, install a jumper on pins 3 and 4 of the terminator power source jumper block. Active/passive termination jumper block --------------------------------------- To select active termination (the default), install a jumper on pins 1 and 2 of the active/passive termination jumper block. To select passive termination, install jumpers on pins 5 and 6 and pins 2 and 4 of the active/pas-sive termination jumper block, and change the terminating resistor packs. Caution. When installing jumpers on the options jumper block and the user-configuration jumper block, be careful to install jumpers on the correct pins. Install jumpers only on pins 1 through 4 of the options jumper block and pins 1 through 6 of the user-configuration jumper block. If you install jumpers on pin pairs that are meant to accept only twisted pair connectors, the drive may not function properly. Remote LED connection --------------------- Remote LED pins are located on two separate jumper blocks: the options jumper block and the user-configuration jumper block. Attach a two-pin remote LED connector to either jumper block, as follows: - User-configuration jumper block, pins 9 and 10. Use any 2-pin, 2-mm connector and an LED from LiteOn , part number LTL-3231A. - Options jumper block, pins 7 and 8. Use any 2-pin, 0.1-inch connector and an LED from LiteOn , part number LTL-3231A. External spindle synchronization option --------------------------------------- You can synchronize the spindle motors of an array of drives by connecting a twisted pair to each drive. The maximum cable length is 6 feet (1.8 meters). Spindle synchronization pins are located on two separate jumper blocks: the options jumper block and the user-configuration jumper block. Use either jumper block to synchronize an array of drives, as follows: - User-configuration jumper block. Use one strand of the twisted pair to connect together pin 7 of the user-configuration jumper block of each drive. Use the other strand to connect together pin 8 of the user-configuration jumper block of each drive. - Options jumper block. Use one strand of the twisted pair to connect together pin 5 of the options jumper block of each drive. Use the other strand to connect together pin 6 of the options jumper block of each drive. The spindle-synchronization characteristics can be controlled by the Mode Select command using the RPL bits in byte 17 of the Rigid Disc Geometry page. In the default mode, all drives arbitrate during startup to see which drive will be the synchronized master. When the drives are calibrating their heads, they each check for a reference signal pulse. The drive that becomes ready first checks for the reference signal, and when it does not detect a pulse, it takes over as the master and begins sending reference pulses. All other drives synchronize their spindles to the reference signal as they in turn become ready. ********************************************************************** I N S T A L L ********************************************************************** SEAGATE ST3655 FAMILY PRODUCT MANUAL Notes On Installation ===================== Installation direction ---------------------- horizontally vertically +-----------------+ +--+ +--+ | | | +-----+ +-----+ | | | | | | | | | +-+-----------------+-+ | | | | | | +---------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +---------------------+ | +-----+ +-----+ | +-+-----------------+-+ +--+ +--+ | | | | +-----------------+ The drive will operate in all axis (6 directions). Drive mounting -------------- You can mount the drive in any orientation. Follow the guidelines below appropriate to the set of mounting holes you elect to use: either bottom mounting holes or side mounting holes. Caution. Do not remove factory-installed labels from the drive or cover them with additional labels. If you do, you may void your warranty. Factory-installed labels contain information required when servicing the product. Bottom mounting holes --------------------- Use 6-32 UNC screws in three of the four available bottom mounting holes. Caution. Do not insert the bottom mounting screws more than 0.20 inches (6 turns) into the drive frame. If you use a screw that is too long, you could damage the drive. Side mounting holes ------------------- Use 6-32 UNC screws in three of the six available side mounting holes. Do not use all three mounting holes on the same side of the drive. Caution. Do not insert side mounting screws more than 0.13 inches (4 turns) into the drive frame. If you use a screw that is too long, you could damage the drive. Shock and vibration ------------------- All shock and vibration specifications assume that the drive is mounted in a recommended mounting configuration. Inputs are measured at the drive mounting screws. Shock measurements are based on an 11 msec, half sine wave shock pulse, not to be repeated more than twice per second. During operating shock and vibration, there is no physical damage to the drive or performance degradation. During nonoperating shock and vibration, the read/write heads are positioned in the shipping zone. DC power -------- Except during the write procedure, you can apply power to the drive or remove power from the drive in any sequence without losing data or damaging the drive. If you remove the power from the drive during the write procedure, you may lose the data currently being written. Power management ---------------- The drive supports power-management modes that reduce its overall power consumption. The drive automatically changes from one mode to another based in response to interface activity. You do not need to change any parameters or send any special commands to make the drive change modes. The power-management modes are described below. - Spinup. The spindle is coming up to operating speed. The power consumed in this mode is equivalent to the average power during the first 10 seconds after the drive begins to spin up. - Seeking. The servo electronics are active and the read/write heads are moving to a specific location on the disc. The read/write electronics are powered-down. The power consumed in this mode is equivalent to the average power measured while executing random seeks with a 2-revolution (26.6 msec) dwell between seeks. The drive enters this mode from the Idle mode. - Read/write. The drive is reading or writing. All electronics are active and the read/write heads are on track. The drive enters this mode from the Idle mode. - Idle. The drive spindle motor is up to speed and the servo electronics are active. The heads are on track, ready to accept and execute any command without delay. The read/write electronics are powered down. The drive can enter this mode from any other mode (except the Standby mode). - Standby. This mode is not implemented. Hardware and interface ---------------------- The SCSI-2 interface consists of a 9-bit bidirectional bus (8 data bits and 1 parity bit) plus 9 control signals supporting multiple initiators, disconnect and reconnect, and self-configuring host software. Logical block addressing is used. The physical interface consists of single-ended drivers and receivers using asynchronous or synchronous communication protocols that support cable lengths of up to 6 meters (3 meters for Fast SCSI) and a bus interface transfer rate up to 5 Mbytes per second asynchronous and 10.0 Mbytes per second synchronous. The bus protocol supports multiple initiators, disconnect and reconnect, additional messages, and 6-byte and 10-byte command descriptor blocks. SCSI-2 compatibility -------------------- The drive interface is described in the Seagate Wren SCSI-2 Interface Product Manual, publication number 77765466. The drive complies with the mandatory subset of the ANSI SCSI-2 interface. The Fast SCSI-2 interface is based on the ANSI Small Computer System Interface-2 (SCSI-2): document number ANSI X3.131-199 x (X3T9.2/86-109 Rev. 10h). 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 following 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 wrist 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 host system. - Do not touch the connector pins or the printed circuit board. Do not touch the printed circuit cable between the circuit board and the head/disc assembly. - Avoid wool or synthetic clothing, carpeting, plastics and Styrofoam; these items cause static discharge. - Do not remove the factory-installed labels from the drive or cover them with additional labels. If you do, you may void the warranty. Some factory-installed labels contain information needed to service the drive. Others are used to seal out dirt and contamination. Hot-plugging ------------ If there is more than one SCSI device daisy-chained on the bus, you can connect and disconnect the drive I/O and power connector if the following conditions are met: - The drive you are disconnecting (or connecting) is not the device supplying terminator power or terminating resistance to the bus. - During hot-plugging, do not add or remove terminator power or resistors from the bus. - During hot-plugging, do not use the bus for I/O transactions. If you are installing a drive on the bus, there must be no I/O transactions until the drive is connected and ready. If you are removing a drive from the bus, there must be no I/O transactions until the drive is completely disconnected. To avoid damage to the disc and head, the spindle must be completely stopped and the heads must be parked before you remove the drive from the system. There are two ways to stop the spindle and park the heads: - If the drive is not configured to use the remote start/stop feature, disconnect the DC power cable from the drive DC power connector and wait 30 seconds. - If the drive is configured to use the remote start/stop feature, issue the SCSI stop command and wait 30 seconds. SCSI connector -------------- You can daisy-chain the drive with a maximum of seven other SCSI devices (including the host) that have single-ended drivers and receivers using a common cable. SCSI ID 7, by convention, is usually used for the host adapter. No drive can have the same SCSI ID as the host adapter. All signals are common between all SCSI devices. The SCSI devices at both ends of the daisy-chain must be terminated; the intermediate SCSI devices should not be terminated. The 50-conductor, nonshielded mating cable connector consists of two rows of 25 female contacts with adjacent contacts 0.100 inches apart. The drive connector is a nonshielded, 50-pin connector consisting of two rows of 25 pins with adjacent pins 0.100 inches apart. The connector is keyed with a slot. Cable requirements ------------------ The characteristic impedance of the cable should be between 90 ohms and 140 ohms. However, most available cables have a somewhat lower characteristic impedance. To minimize discontinuities and signal reflections, do not use cables of different impedances in the bus. Your design may require trade-offs in shielding effectiveness, the length of the interface cable, the number of loads, and the transfer rates. If your design uses both shielded and nonshielded cables within the same SCSI bus, you must allow for the effects of impedance mismatch. To minimize noise effects, use a minimum conductor size of 28 AWG. Use only nonshielded cable connectors. Use a 50-conductor flat cable or 25-conductor twisted-pair cable. The recommended nonshielded flat cable part numbers are shown in the following table: Part Manufacturer Flat Cable 3M-3365-50 Twisted Pair Spectra Twist-N-Flat 455-248-50 Single-ended cable ------------------ The single-ended SCSI cable must meet the following requirements: - The cable cannot be longer than 6.0 meters. - A cable stub cannot be longer than 0.1 meter, from the mainline interconnection to any device. Stubs must be separated by at least 0.3 meter. Fast synchronous data transfer ------------------------------ When using fast synchronous data transfer rates, the SCSI interface cable must meet the following additional requirements: - The cable cannot be longer than 3.0 meters. - A characteristic impedance of 90 ohms to 132 ohms is recommended for nonshielded flat cable or twisted-pair ribbon cable. - The signal attenuation at 5 MHz must not be greater than 0.095 dB per meter. - The DC resistance at 20*C must not exceed 0.230 ohms per meter. - The propagation delay delta of a shielded, twisted-pair cable must not exceed 20 nsec per meter. DC power connector ------------------ The drive is equipped with a 4-pin power connector. Terminators ----------- The interface is terminated with three SIP resistor modules that plug into sockets on the printed circuit board. You can order the drive in the active (default) or passive configuration, or without terminators, depending on your application. When installing or removing terminators, follow these guidelines: - If you are installing only one drive, and your system contains only one initiator (for example, a stand-alone host computer) leave the terminators installed on the drive. - If you are installing multiple drives in a daisy-chain configuration, remove the terminators from all drives except the drives (or initiators) connected to the ends of the cable. - If your application requires no terminators, remove the terminators from the drive circuit board. Removing the terminator power source selection jumper does not disconnect the terminator resistors from the circuit. - If you use Fast SCSI transfer rates, you must use the active termination options. If the transfer rate is 5.0 Mbytes per second or less, you can use either method of termination. Active termination ------------------ All interface signals are single-ended and must be terminated at the drive with a 110-ohm resistor to +2.85V. This is the default. The Seagate part number for the 110-ohm terminator is 502155-001. Passive termination ------------------- All interface signals with the drive are single-ended and must be terminated with 220 ohms to +5V and 330 ohms to ground at each end of the cable. All signals use open-collector drivers or three-state drivers. The Seagate part number for the 220/330-ohm terminator is 75916526-9. Single-ended drivers and receivers ---------------------------------- The drive uses single-ended drivers and receivers. - Transmitter characteristics. The drive uses an ANSI SCSI- compatible, open-collector, single-ended driver. This driver is capable of sinking a current of 48 mA with a low-level output voltage of 0.4 volts. - Receiver characteristics. The drive uses an ANSI SCSI single-ended receiver with hysteresis gate or equivalent as a line receiver. The loss in the cable is defined as the difference between the voltages of the input and output signals. ********************************************************************** F E A T U R E S ********************************************************************** SEAGATE ST3655 FAMILY PRODUCT MANUAL Reliability ----------- Read error rates are measured with automatic retries and data correction with ECC enabled and all flaws reallocated. MTBF is measured at nominal power at sea level and 40*C ambient temperature. Nonrecoverable read errors 1 per 10 13 bits transferred Seek errors 1 per 10 7 physical seeks MTBF 250,000 power-on hours Service life 5 years Acoustics --------- Sound pressure is measured at idle from 1 meter above the drive top cover. Sound pressure, typ 34 dBA Sound pressure, max 38 dBA Seek time --------- All seek time measurements are under nominal conditions of temperature and voltage with the drive mounted horizontally. In the table below: - Track-to-track seek time is the average of all possible single-track seeks in both directions. - Average seek time is a true statistical random average of at least 5,000 measurements of seeks in both directions between random cylinders, less overhead. - Full-stroke seek time is one-half the time needed to seek from logical block address zero (LBA 0) to the maximum LBA and back to LBA 0. Note. Host overhead varies between systems and cannot be specified. Drive internal overhead is measured by issuing a no-motion seek. Drive overhead is typically less than 1.0 msec. Read look-ahead and caching --------------------------- The drive uses algorithms that improve seek performance by storing data in a buffer and processing it at a more convenient time. Three methods are employed: read look-ahead, read caching and write caching. Thermal compensation -------------------- The thermal compensation feature compensates for position offset of the selected head due to variations in temperature. The drive automatically performs thermal compensation during startup and every 2 minutes thereafter. You can preempt the automatic compensation by issuing a Rezero Unit command (01H). The drive performs the thermal calibration and then sets a timer and waits 2 minutes before performing the calibration again. Thermal compensation increases the execution time of the command during which it is performed by 100 msec (typ) to 350 msec (max). FCC verification ---------------- ST3655 family drives are intended to be contained solely within a personal computer or similar enclosure (not attached to an external device). As such, a drive is considered to be a subassembly even when individually marketed to the customer. As a subassembly, no Federal Communications Commission authorization, verification or certification of the device is required. Seagate Technology, Inc. has tested these drives in an enclosure as described above to ensure that the total assembly (enclosure, disc drive, motherboard, power supply, etc.) does comply with the limits for a Class B computing device, pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation with noncertified assemblies is likely to result in interference to radio and television reception. Radio and television interference.
