Therefore, several configuration options can be set using the option block on the front of the drive (end opposite the SCSI connector). In most cases you will not need to change the default settings for normal drive operation. However, some installations may require you to install or remove certain jumpers in order to meet system specifications. SCSI ID Numbers Each device on the SCSI bus requires a unique SCSI ID number (0 to 7). SCSI ID Numbers --------------- Each device on the SCSI bus requires a unique SCSI ID number (0 to 7 for 8-bit drives, 0 to 15 for 16-bit drives). Option block pin 1 through 8 are used to set the SCSI IDs. The host computer's SCSI controller typically uses ID number 7, and the other numbers are used for devices such as hard drives. The WD Enterprise has a default SCSI ID of 0.

If your SCSI controller and other SCSI devices support SCAM, you do not need to manually assign a SCSI ID to the hard drive. Option block pins 17 and 18 are dedicated to the SCAM feature. To enable SCAM, install a jumper as shown. To disable SCAM, no jumper is required. +-34-32-30-28-26-24-22-20-18-16-14-12-10-8--6--4--2-+ | o o o o o o o o X o o o o o o o o | | o o o o o o o o X o o o o o o o o | +-33-31-29-27-25-23-21-19-17-15-13-11-9--7--5--3--1-+ Disable Auto Start ------------------ The WD Enterprise drive can be configured to Auto Start, or automatically spin up when power is applied to the drive. If the drive is configured to disable Auto Start, it powers up, but will not spin up until a start unit command is issued by an operator. Option block pins 13 and 14 are dedicated to the Auto Start option. To disable Auto Start, install a jumper as shown. To enable Auto Start, no jumper is required. +-34-32-30-28-26-24-22-20-18-16-14-12-10-8--6--4--2-+ | o o o o o o o o o o X o o o o o o | | o o o o o o o o o o X o o o o o o | +-33-31-29-27-25-23-21-19-17-15-13-11-9--7--5--3--1-+ Auto Start Delay ---------------- This feature delays the start-ip process to avoid an initial power surge when several drives are powered up at once. The delay time (default) is 4 seconds between drives, or the SCSI ID multiplied by 4 seconds. Let's say you have three hard drives in your system, and they are set to SCSI IDs 0, 1, and 2. The drive assigned as ID 0 will power up immediately; the drive assigned to ID 1 will power up in 4 seconds; and the drive assigned to ID 2 will power up in 8 seconds. NOTE: The 4 second delay time can be changed in the drive's mode parameter settings. +-34-32-30-28-26-24-22-20-18-16-14-12-10-8--6--4--2-+ | o o o o o o o o o X o o o o o o o | | o o o o o o o o o X o o o o o o o | +-33-31-29-27-25-23-21-19-17-15-13-11-9--7--5--3--1-+ Option block pins 15 and 16 are dedicated to the Auto Start Delay option. (This option is valid only if the Disable Auto Start jumper is not installed.) To enable Auto Start Delay, install a jumper as shown. To disable Auto Start Delay, no jumper is required. Disable Unit Attention ---------------------- Whenever a target (WD Enterprise drive) has been reset by a power-on or reset sequence, it communicates a unit attention message to the initiator (host bus adapter). Option block pins 19 and 20 are dedicated to the Disable Unit Attention option. To disable unit attention, install a jumper as shown. To enable unit attention, no jumper is required. +-34-32-30-28-26-24-22-20-18-16-14-12-10-8--6--4--2-+ | o o o o o o o X o o o o o o o o o | | o o o o o o o X o o o o o o o o o | +-33-31-29-27-25-23-21-19-17-15-13-11-9--7--5--3--1-+ Disable Target Initiated Synchronous/Wide Negotiation ----------------------------------------------------- During the power up sequence, the initiator (host bus adapter) and the target (WD Enterprise drive) negotiate and agree upon three items: bus width, bus speed, and synchronous/asynchronous data transfer. Either the initiator or the target can start the negotiation process, and once this process is completed successfully, all "data in" and "data out" phases will operate as determined during the handshake. The negotiation process is done only once, usually during start-up. +-34-32-30-28-26-24-22-20-18-16-14-12-10-8--6--4--2-+ | o o o o o o X o o o o o o o o o o | | o o o o o o X o o o o o o o o o o | +-33-31-29-27-25-23-21-19-17-15-13-11-9--7--5--3--1-+ Option block pins 21 and 22 are dedicated to the Disable Target Initiated Synchronous/Wide Negotiation option. To disable target initiated synchronous/wide negotiation, install a jumper as shown. To enable target initiated synchronous/wide negotiation, no jumper is required. SCSI Termination ---------------- To ensure reliable communication, the SCSI bus must be properly terminated. Devices located at the physical ends of the SCSI bus should have their terminators enabled. All other devices must have their terminators disabled. Option block pins 23 and 24 are dedicated to the SCSI Termination option. To enable SCSI termination, install a jumper as shown. To disable SCSI termination, no jumper is required. +-34-32-30-28-26-24-22-20-18-16-14-12-10-8--6--4--2-+ | o o o o o X o o o o o o o o o o o | | o o o o o X o o o o o o o o o o o | +-33-31-29-27-25-23-21-19-17-15-13-11-9--7--5--3--1-+ Termination Power (TERMPWR) --------------------------- WD Enterprise drives have the ability to supply +5V to the SCSI bus for termination. Option block pins 27 and 28 are dedicated to TERMPWR. If you want the drive to supply TERMPWR to the SCSI bus, install a jumper as shown. To disable TERMPWR, no jumper is required. NOTE: Termination power from the hard drive is required only if the host bus adapter does not supply it. However, both devices can provide termination power with no detrimental effects to the system. +-34-32-30-28-26-24-22-20-18-16-14-12-10-8--6--4--2-+ | o o o X o o o o o o o o o o o o o | | o o o X o o o o o o o o o o o o o | +-33-31-29-27-25-23-21-19-17-15-13-11-9--7--5--3--1-+ Spindle Synchronization ----------------------- If you are installing two or more WD Enterprise hard drives, you can synchronize their spindles to reduce the latency associated with switching from one drive to another. Spindle sync allows the host to synchronize the index pulses of the drives at a specified offset. This means that the same numbered sector passes under the read/write head at the same time across all drives. For more details regarding the sync offset, refer to the Western Digital SCSI Implementation Guide (document number 4096-0011116) and the WD Enterprise Technical Reference Manual (document number 4079-001045). NOTE: The spindle sync feature is intended for use with like WD Enterprise drives only. Option block pin 12 is dedicated to Spindle Sync, as shown. To enable spindle sync, pin 12 must be connected on all drives that are to be in sync. (Pin 11 is ground). +-34-32-30-28-26-24-22-20-18-16-14-12-10-8--6--4--2-+ | o o o o o o o o o o o * o o o o o | | o o o o o o o o o o o * o o o o o | +-33-31-29-27-25-23-21-19-17-15-13-11-9--7--5--3--1-+ LED Support ----------- If your system configuration allows the use of an activity LED external to the WD Enterprise drive, you can power the LED from the drive. Pins 10 and 29 are dedicated to LED support, as shown. To install an external activity LED, connect the positive lead (anode) of the LED to pin 29 and the negative lead (cathode) to pin 10. +-34-32-30-28-26-24-22-20-18-16-14-12-10-8--6--4--2-+ | o o o o o o o o o o o o * o o o o | | o o * o o o o o o o o o o o o o o | +-33-31-29-27-25-23-21-19-17-15-13-11-9--7--5--3--1-+ NOTE: These pins can be used to power an LED located on the front of the drive, or an external LED in systems where the front of the drive cannot be seen. Reserved Pins ------------- There are a number of pins on the option block that are reserved for development and manufacturing purposes: - Pins 25 and 26 - Pin 30 - Pins 31 and 32 - Pins 33 and 34 - Key slot (prevents incorrect installation of connector) +-34-32-30-28-26-24-22-20-18-16-14-12-10-8--6--4--2-+ | x x x o x o o o o o o o o o o o o | | x x o o x o o o o o o o o o o o o | +-33-31-29-27-25-23-21-19-17-15-13-11-9--7--5--3--1-+ Mode Select Options ------------------- Certain configuration parameters can be altered by using the SCSI Mode Select command. Some examples include Read/Write Error Recovery Page, Format Device Page, and Caching Page. The Mode Select command allows drive characteristics to be customized to meet your system requirements. Refer to the Western Digital SCSI Implementation Guide (document number 4096-001116) for more information. Remote Option Block ------------------- WD Enterprise 68-pin drives are equipped with a remote option block that allows you to set SCSI IDs and enable select options such as termination, spindle synchronization, and LED power. Customers using the remote option block typically use a pre-fabricated cable for convenient connection to the host. Do not use jumpers on this option block. For more information, refer to the WD Enterprise Technical Reference Manual (document number 4079-001045). ********************************************************************** I N S T A L L ********************************************************************** WESTERN WDE2170/4360 ENTERPRISE INSTALLATION Notes On Installation ===================== MOUNTING RESTRICTIONS --------------------- The WD Enterprise drive is a precision mechanical assembly. Since improper mounting may distort the drive frame and impair its proper function, mounting the drive securely will ensure maximum performance. Western Digital provides technical support to those customers requiring assistance with mounting design. Some customers may wish to review their system mechanical design and system grounding architecture to optimize drive performance and ensure compliance with the various electromagnetic compatibility regulations in the markets being served. Ventilation ----------- The ambient temperature surrounding the drive must not exceed 131*F (55*C). The enclosure used to house the drive should supply sufficient airflow around the drive and printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) to maintain temperatures at or below the temperatures defined in the Reference section of this manual. Operation above this level may adversely affect the drive's performance. Orientation ----------- The drive features both bottom and side mounting holes. Mounting -------- Four 6-32 UNC screws are used to mount the drive. To avoid stripping the mounting-hole threads, the maximum torque applied to the screws should not exceed 6.0 in-lb. (0.675 N-m). Be aware of the following: - The drive features four mounting holes on either side of the drive and four mounting holes on the bottom. - The maximum allowable penetration of the screws is 0.150" (3.8 mm). This length allows full use of the mounting-hole threads, while avoiding damage or stress to the PCBA. SCSI CABLE LENGTH RESTRICTIONS ------------------------------ Single-ended SCSI drives allow cable lengths of up to 6 meters (19.68 feet). Users who plan to use "Fast" and "Ultra Fast" data transfers with single-ended models should follow all the ANSI SCSI guidelines for these operations. Differential SCSI drives allow cable lengths of up to 25 meters (82.02 feet). Cables must meet the requirements for differential cables as set forth in the ANSI SCSI standard. Drives equipped with a SCA-2 connector are not designed for direct cable attachment due to the combination of power and SCSI bus signals. The ANSI SCSI standard states that any stub from the main cable must not exceed 0.1 meters (.32 feet) for single-ended cables and 0.2 meters (.65 feet) for differential cables. +-----------+-----------------+------------+-------------+ | Bus Type |Properly |Single-ended|Differential | +-----------+-----------------+------------+-------------+ | SCSI-1 |Max. bus length | 6m | 25m | +-----------+-----------------+------------+-------------+ | SCSI-2 |Max. bus length | 6m | 25m | +-----------+-----------------+------------+-------------+ | Fast SCSI2|Max. bus length | 3m | 25m | +-----------+-----------------+------------+-------------+ | Ultra SCSI|Max. bus length | 3m | 25m | | |point-to-point | | | | |Max. bus length | 6m | 25m | | |multi-drop | 15m | 25m | +-----------+-----------------+------------+-------------+ | All |Max. stub length | 0.1m | 0.2m | | |Min. stup specing| 0.3m | 0.3m | +-----------+-----------------+------------+-------------+ CONNECTOR TYPES =============== 50-pin SCSI Connector --------------------- 50-pin models use a high density connector which is compatible with ANSI SCSI "A" style connector specifications. It can transfer data in 8-bit (narrow) mode only. 68-pin SCSI Connector --------------------- 68-pin models use a high density connector which is compatible with ANSI SCSI "P" style connector specifications. It can transfer data in 8-bit (narrow) and 16-bit (wide) modes. Both single-ended and differential SCSI versions are available. 80-pin SCSI Connector --------------------- 80-pin models use a Single Connector Attachment (SCA-2) connector which is designed for backplane connections. It can transfer data in 8-bit (narrow) and 16-bit (wide) modes. MULTIPLE DRIVE INSTALLATIONS ---------------------------- If your system requires multiple devices, you may install up to eight SCSI devices (including the host bus adapter) on an 8-bit SCSI bus; up to sixteen SCSI devices (including the host bus adapter) on a 16-bit SCSI bus, or up to 32 devices (including the host bus adapter) on a 16- bit SCSI bus with a dual processor host bus adapter. INSTALLING THE DRIVE -------------------- Because the Enterprise WDE2170 and WDE4360 drives are compatible with a wide range of computer systems and host bus adapters, this manual does not include system-specific information. If the information contained in the following sections does not adhere to your setup, refer to your computer system documentation for further details.
