You can daisy-chain two drives on the AT-bus interface. When daisy- chaining two drives, configure one drive as the MASTER, the other as the SLAVE, with the Drive Select (DS) jumper pins on the drives. Or use the IID jumper to select Master/Slave via the drive interface cable. SP Slave Present Jumper Option ------------------------------- In combination with the current DS jumper setting, the Slave Present (SP) jumper implements one of two possible configurations. - If the drive is configured as a Master - that is, with the DS jumper installed - the SP jumper indicates to the drive that a Slave drive is present. The SP jumper should be installed on the Master if the Slave drive does not use the Drive/Active Slave Present signal (pin 39) to indicate its presense. - When the drive is configured as a SLAVE - that is with DS jumper not installed - and the MASTER is a non-Quantum drive, a jumper installed on the SP jumper pins puts the ProDrive into a special slave mode. In this mode, the ProDrive does not do hardware tests in the diagnostics command to avoid taking too long to drive BUSY, resulting in making the operation with another drive as fast as possible. Quantum ships all ProDrive 425AT hard disk drives without a jumper installed on the SP jumper pins. TM Drive Mode Jumper Option ---------------------------- The drive mode jumper options maintains compatibility with the ProDrive 40/80 AT hard disk drives. When a jumper is installed on the TM jumper pins, the ProDrive 425AT hard disk drive is in a ProDrive 40/80AT compatible mode as a master or as a slave depending on the way the DS(IID) and SP jumpers are installed.

The ProDrive 40/80AT hard disk drive mode always means that the drive select bit in the AT interface chip is not reset to zero on diagnostics commands or soft resets, and that the drives do not check for PDIAG. Description of Configurations (from Table) 1. ProDrive slave in the standard CAM spec mode. 2. ProDrive slave with a ProDrive 40/80AT hard disk drive master. 3. A ProDrive is a slave, however, daisy-chained to a non-Quantum drive, which does not apply the CAM ATA protocol for DASP. In this mode, the ProDrive 425AT hard disk drive does not do hardware tests in the diagnostic command to avoid taking too long to drop BUSY. This makes operation with another drive as fast as possible. 5. ProDrive master in the standard Command Access Method (CAM) ATA specification mode. ProDrive master used DASP to check for slave and uses PDIAG to determine if the slave passed power on, soft reset, and diagnostics. This is the factory default setting. 6. ProDrive master in ProDrive 40/80AT hard disk drive mode. The code looks at DASP to determine if a slave is present. If it sees DASP, it assumes the other drive is a ProDrive 40/80AT hard disk drive and operates in the ProDrive 40/80AT hard disk drive mode. 7. A ProDrive master with a non-Quantum slave, which does not apply the CAM ATA protocol for DASP. The drive knows there is a slave by the SP jumper, and it does not check DASP. It does check PDIAG at power on, soft reset, and diagnostics. On the diagnostics command, the ProDrive skips the hardware tests, making operation another drive as fast as possible. 8. A ProDrive master with a ProDrive 40/80AT hard disk drive slave. The code knows a slave is present, by the SP jumper, and does not check DASP.

UNC 6-32 screws are recommended for mounting. Note: With the exception of the faceplate and mounting brackets, clearence between the drive and any other surface must be a minimum of 0.10 inch. Caution: The printed circuit board (PCB) is very close to the mounting holes on the drive. Do not exceed the specified length for the mounting screws. The specified screw length allows full use of the mounting-hole threads, while avoiding damaging or placing unwanted stress on the PCB. To avoid stripping the mounting-hole threads, the maximum torque applied to the mounting screws must not exceed 8 inch-pounds. Ventilation ----------- The ProDrive 425AT hard disk drive operates without a cooling fan, provided the ambient air temperature does not exceed 122*F (50*C). Any user-designed cabinet should provide adequate air circulation to prevent the maximum temperature from beeing exceeded. AT-Bus Interface Connector J1 ----------------------------- The ProDrive 425AT hard disk drive requires one AT-bus interface cable connector. The AT-bus interface cable connector (J1) on the drive is a 40-pin Universal Header connector. Pin 20 has been removed to prevent in- correct installation of the mating connector. The mating connector must have a keying plug installed in pin position 20. Note: To avoid plugging the connector backwards, unkeyed mating connections should not be used. Recommended part numbers for the mating connector: 40-pin connector, without strain relief AMP P/N 1-746185-0, or equivalent Strain relief for 40-pin connector AMP P/N 1-499252-1, or equivalent Keying Plug AMP P/N 86286-1, or equivalent DC Power Connector J3 --------------------- The DC power connector is a 4-pin Molex connector (P/N 8981-4SM3 or equivalent) mounted on the back edge of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Recommended connectors and their part numbers are: 4-pin connector AMP P/N 1-480424-0 or equivalent Loose-piece contacts AMP P/N 60619-4 or equivalent Strip contacts AMP P/N 61117-4 or equivalent Faceplate LED Operation ----------------------- Whenever the drive initiates the execution of a command, a green LED on the faceplate ligths, and remains lit until the execution of the command is complete or aborted. Air Filtration -------------- ProDrive Series hard drives are Winchester-type drives. The heads fly very close to the media surface, with a nominal flying height of six microinches. Therefore, it is essential that the air circulating within the drive be kept free of particles. Quantum assembles the drive in a Class-100, purified air environment, then seals the drive with a metal cover. When the drive is use, the rotation of the disks forces the air inside the drive through an internal filter. Disk Format ----------- The drive have eight zones, with 44 to 78 sectors per track, depending on the location of the zone on the disk. Two sectors per cylinder are reserved as spares for defect mangement. Thus, the number of sectors per cylinder ranges from 700 in the outermost zone to 394 in the inner zone for the ProDrive 425AT hard disk drive. Electrical Characteristics -------------------------- All signals are TTL-compatible - with logic one greater than 2.0 volts and less than 5.25 volts; and logic zero, greater than 0.0 volts and less than 0.7 volts. Neither the adapter board nor the drives requires terminating resistors. AT-BUS Interface ---------------- The ProDrive 425AT hard disk drive uses the standard IBM PC AT-bus interface, and is available with or without an adapter board. With the adapter board, a ProDrive 425AT hard disk drive can plug directly into a 16-bit expansion slot on an AT-compatible computer. Without the adapter board, the drive is compatible with other AT-bus architectures, and can be plugged into an embedded AT adapter or existing adapter board. Adapter Board ------------- The adapter board provides an IBM PC-AT I/O-bus interface. The AT-bus interface signals D8-D15, INTRQ and IOCS16-require an I/O extended bus connector. The adapter board buffers data and control signals between the drive and the host system, and decodes addresses on the host address bus. The Command Block Registers on the drive - accept commands from the host system BIOS. NOTE Some host systems do not read the Status Register after the drive issues an interrupt. In such cases, the interrupt may not be acknowledged. To overcome this problem, a jumper option on the adapter board allows interrupts to be controlled by the drive's interrupt logic. ********************************************************************** F E A T U R E S ********************************************************************** QUANTUM PRODRIVE 425AT PRODUCT MANUAL 81-100810-01 OCTOBER 1991 General Description ------------------- The Quantum ProDrive Series is a broad family of high-performance, 3 1/2-inch form factor hard drives manufactured to meet the highest product-quality standards. These drives use nonremovable rigid disks as their storage media, have formatted capacities that range from 40 to 426 megabytes, and are available with various interfaces. Seek Times/Miscellaneous Times: ------------------------------ Times | Typical | Maximum | Maximum | msec. | Nominal | Nominal | Worst-Case | | Condition | Condition | Condition | -----------------------+-----------+-----------+------------+ Single Track Seek | 4 | 5 | 5 | Average Seek | 14 | 15.5 | 16.5 | Third-Stroke Seek | 15 | 16.5 | 17.5 | Full-Stroke Seek | 27 | 30 | 33 | Average Rotational | | | | Latency | 8.3 | - | - | Sequential Head Switch | 2.2 | - | - | Power-Up Time | - | - | 20 | -----------------------+-----------+-----------+------------+ Seek time is the time required for the actuator to seek and settle on track. Quoted seek times include head settling time, but not command overhead or rotational latency time. Seek time is measured by averaging 1000 seeks of the indicated length. Average seek time is the average time of 1000 random seeks. When a seek error occurs, recovery for that seek may take up to two seconds. Preventive Maintenance ---------------------- The ProDrive 425AT hard disk drive requires no preventive maintenance. Defect Detection ---------------- At sector level, any discrepancy between recorded data and recovered data constitutes a data error. In high-density digital recording systems, it is necessary to use an error-detection and correction scheme to enhance the performance and increase the reliability of the system. Data errors are either soft - correctable on retries and not readily repeatable - or hard - repeatable with high probability. The signal-to-noise ratio of the system affects the occurrence of soft errors, which represent marginal conditions of the media, heads, read/write circuitry. Hard errors occur due to defects, pits, scratches, or thin spots in the media. The drive can skip, or not use, defective sectors on the media for storage. Factory-Found Defects --------------------- At the factory, Quantum scans the disks for defective sectors and deallocates sectors containing defects prior to shipment. The drive records a primary defect list that contains the locations of all factory-found defective sectors in a reserved cylinder on the disk. The defects are spared inline. In-line sparing skips each factory- found defect and shifts subsequent sectors on the track to sequential sectors. Two sectors at the end of each cylinder are spares, or replacement sectors. The drive allocates spare sectors as required to maintain the proper number of blocks per cylinder. Automatic Actuator Lock ----------------------- To ensure data integrity and prevent damage during shipment, all ProDrive Series hard disk drives feature a dedicated landing zone and Quantum's patented AIRLOCK. AIRLOCK, locks the headstack in the landing zone. It consists of an airvane mounted near the perimeter of the disk stack and a locking arm that restrains the actuator arm assembly when the disks are not rotating. When DC power is applied to the motor and the disk stack rotates, the rotation generates an airflow on the surface of the disk. As the flow of air across the airvane increases with disk ratation, the locking arm pivots away from the actuator arm, enabling the headstack to move out of the landing zone. When DC power is removed from the motor, a return mechanism automatically pulls the actuator into the landing zone, where the AIRLOCK holds it in place. Media Quality ------------- The ProDrive 425AT hard disk drive features automatic defect management, making the manual identification of defects unneccessary. Defect management is completely transparent to the user. Error Rates ----------- A data error occurs whenever the drive fails to read or write a sector of data correctly. An error detected when reading may be correctable or uncorrectable. When a data error occurs, if the data can be transferred successfully using the drive's default error- recovery algorithm, the data error is recoverable; otherwise, it is unrecoverable. The miscorrection rate indicate the frequency with which the drive transfers incorrect read data, due to faulty ECC correction using the default error-recovery algoritm. If a data error recurs on each of eight retries, it is a read error; otherwise it is a soft error. Hard errors generally occur due to media defects. DisCache -------- Quantum's proprietary, look-ahead, caching scheme - provides faster access to data on the disk by anticipating host-system requests for data. DisCache prefetches data into a three segment cache in high- speed RAM (Random-Access Memory). When the host requests data pre- fetched to the cache, the drive accesses the cache, rather than the disk. The ProDrive 425S hard disk drive uses an advanced continuous- prefetch algorithm. When the drive receives a READ command that re- quests data currently in the cache, it continues to prefetch data.
