Set the display contents of data posted to the initiator from the IDD with the INQUIRY command according to SW1-2. Select one of the modes depending on the system software requirements. 2. When the SCSI-1/CCS mode is selected, parameters transferred by the MODE SENSE command as follows. a. Page code 3F (all pages equipped in the IDD are transferred) 1 Page 7, page 8 and page A are not transferred 2 Page 1, page 2 and page 4 are transferred with the specified length of CCS. b. When page 1, page 2 or page 4 is specified individually, it is transferred with the specified length of CCS. c. When page 7, page 8 or page A is specified individuelly, it is transferred with the specified length of SCSI-2. d. For the recovery parameter of the VERIFY, the recovery para- meter in page 1 is used. 3. When SCSI-1/CSS mode is selected and the REQUEST SENSE command is issued with specifying the transfer byte length to 0, the IDD transfers the 4-byte sense data. SW1-2 Offline self-diagnostics ------------------------------- No.2 ON Executed (diagnostic mode) x OFF Stopped (normal operation mode) Set starting/stopping the IDD offline self-diagnostics. The offline self-diagnostics tests the IDD controller functions and the basic read/write operation of the disk drive. In normal operations, this setting terminal must be OFF.

(SCSI standard) OFF All received commands are executed normally. (The CHECK CONDITION status caused by the UNIT ATTENTION condition is not reported.) Sets the response method against the received command when the IDD keeps the UNIT ATTENTION condition. This mode is set for system requirement, however, it is recommended to use the SCSI standard setting (setting at factory shipment).

When the synchronous mode data transfer is enabled, the IDD responds the SYNCHRONOUS DATA TRANSFER REQUEST message to the INIT that issues the first command after power-on. Notes: 1. This setting does not affect asynchronous mode transfer. 2. When synchronous mode transfer request is disabled, the IDD operates as follows. - When the SYNCHRONOUS DATA TRANSFER REQUEST message is sent from the INIT, the IDD reply to that message and the DATA IN and the DATA OUT phases of the SCSI bus can be executed in synchronous mode. - The IDD does not send the SYNCHRONOUS DATA TRANSFER REQUEST message to the INIT. 3. The maximum data transfer rate in synchronous mode is determined when the SYNCHRONOUS DATA TRANSFER REQUEST message is exchanged between the IDD and INIT. The INIT must determine the parameter sent to the IDD when the message is exchanged in consideration of the signal transfer characteristics of the system SCSI bus and the data reception capacity of the INIT. The IDD can transfer up to 10 MB/s in synchronous mode. However, since the configuration of the SCSI bus and its transfer characteristics differ depending on the system, the maximum transfer rate in which data can be transferred in a stable condi- tion must be determined for each system. 4. For reference, the IDD data transfer rate in synchronous mode and the restrictions on the systems configuration of the SCSI bus are shown below. Remarks: The following values are rough standards. The values be evaluated for each system. +--------------------+--------------------+-----------------------+ | Max. transfer rate | Max. length of | Number of connectable| | of the IDD (MB/s) | the SCSI cable (m)| SCSI devices | +--------------------+--------------------+-----------------------+ | 3 to 10 | * | * | +--------------------+--------------------+-----------------------+ | 2.67 or less | 6(M269xES), | | | | 25(M269xEH) | 8 | +--------------------+--------------------+-----------------------+ * The maximum SCSI cable length and the number of connectable SCSI devices must be determined for each system.

Mounting frame structure ------------------------ The disk enclosure (DE) of the IDD serves as a signal ground (SG) and is insulated from the mounting frame (frame ground: FG). As this insulation is maintained after the IDD is mounted in the system, the following precautions must be followed. Generally, SG an FG are connected at one point in the system enclosure. Therefore, use following procedure to maintain the insulation when mounting the IDD: a) Use the frame with an embossed structure or the like to avoid contact between the DE base and FG. Mount the IDD with making a gap of 2.5 mm or more between the IDD and the frame of the system. b) The inward projection of the screw from the IDD frame wall at the corner must be 4 mm or less. Limitatation of side-mounting: When the drive is mounted using side screw holes, do not use the center hole. (M3 or #6-32 UNC screws) External magnetic field ----------------------- The drive should not be installed near the ferromagnetic body like a speaker to avoid the influence of the external magnetic field. Ambient temperature ------------------- When the IDD is operating, the ambient temperature measured 3 cm from the disk enclosure (DE) surface and from the PCA surface must satisfy the specified requirement. For the DE surface temperature at opera- ting, the contact temperature at the measurement point must satisfy the specified requirement. Sequential starting of spindle motors ------------------------------------- After the power is turned on to the IDD, a large amount of current flows in the +12 V DC line when the spindle motor rotation starts. Therefore, if more than one IDD is used, the spindle motors should be started sequentially using one of the following procedures to pre- vent overload of the power supply unit. a. Issue START/STOP UNIT commands at 20-second intervals to start the spindle motors. b. Turn on the +12 V DC power in the power supply unit at 20-second intervals to start the spindle motors sequentially. Noise filter ------------ To eliminate AC line noise, a noise filter should be installed at the AC input terminal on the IDD power supply unit. The specification of this noise filter is as follows: Attenuation: 40 dB or more at 10 MHz. Circuit construction: T-configuration is recommended. SCSI cable ---------- All SCSI devices on one bus are daisy-chained with an SCSI cable. A terminating resistor must be mounted in the SCSI device at each end of the SCSI cable. Since an SCSI terminating resistor module is mounted in the only IDD of Single-Ended type SCSI on shipment, it must be removed when the IDD is not connected at either end of the SCSI cable. Also, a method for power supply to the terminating resistor must be selected with the setting terminal on the IDD. The maximum number of SCSI devices that can be connected to the SCSI bus is 8, including the host adapter, IDD, and other SCSI equipment. The connector (socket) for the SCSI cable must be an unshielded 50- contact socket which has two rows of 25 contacts spaced at 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) apart. It should also have a key way to prevent insertion in the wrong direction (bump type connector). The maximum length of the SCSI cable is as follows. If more than one SCSI device is connected, the total cable length must not exceed the following. 6m cable length Single-Ended type SCSI (M269xES) 25m cable length Differential type SCSI (M269xEH) The use of a 25-pair twisted cable satisfying the following require- ments is recommended: Conductor size: 28 American Wire Gauge (AWG) or bigger Characteristic Impedance: 90 to 132 Each pair of wires in the 25-pair twisted cable must be connected to pins n and n+1 (where n is an odd number) on the interface connector. Cables having an identical impedance must be use on the same SCSI bus to reduce signal reflection and maintain transmission characteristics When an SCSI device is connected to the SCSI cable except at either end of the cable, connection to the SCSI connector must be at a branchpoint of the cable. If a SCSI device is connected to one end of the SCSI bus, no cable should be connected after the last SCSI device except when the cable has a terminating resistor. Power cable ----------- IDDs must be star-connected to the DC power sypply (one to one con- nection) to reduce the influence of load variations. DC ground --------- A DC ground cable may or may not be installed depending on the system requirements (system installation environment, cabinet structure, power supply system). This cable is generally connected to the ground of the power supply unit. It is recommended to connect with a daisy chain (one by one connection). Connector for external operator panel ------------------------------------- Two types of connectors for the external operator panel are provided on the IDD. They allow connection of an external LED on the front panel, and an SCSI ID setting switch. SCSI terminating resistor (M269xES only) ---------------------------------------- The SCSI terminating resistor module is installed in the only IDD of Single-Ended type SCSI (M269xES) when the IDD is shipped from the factory. The terminating resistor module is mounted in a socket and must be processed in one of followings. 1. When conecting the IDD to either end of the SCSI cable, do not demount the terminating resistor module. 2. When connecting the IDD to a position other than both ends of the SCSI cable, demount terminating resistor module. Notes: When demounting the terminating resistor module, be careful not to damage the resistor module pins, mount socket and contiguous parts. When mounting the terminating resistor module, check the mounting direction and wether the module is fixed. +- Marker shows pin 1 +- Marker shows pin 1 | | | +-----------------+ | | |* * * * * * * * *| | +*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*+ +- * | +- * Resistor | |* * * * * * * * *| +*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*+ +-----------------+ Socket, terminating resistor module not present Confirming initial operations ----------------------------- Initial operation in the case of settong so that motor starts at powering-on. 1. When power is turned on, the LED blinks an instant and the IDD executes initial self-diagnosis. 2. If an error is detected in the initial self-diagnosis, the LED on the front panel blinks periodically. Remark: The spindle motor may or may not start rotating in this stage 3. When the LED display requirements are set to "the IDD is ready", the LED on the front panel lights 15 seconds after power is turned on. 4. When the LED display requirements are set to "the IDD operates" the LED on the front panel remains off (when the initiator accesses the IDD via the SCSI bus, the LED lights). 2. Initial operation in the case of setting so that motor starts with START/STOP command. 1. When power is turned on, the LED blinks an instant and the IDD executes initial self-diagnosis. 2. If an error is detected in the initial self-diagnosis, the LED on the front panel blinks. 3. The spindle motor does not start rotation until the START/STOP UNIT command for the start is issued. The INIT needs to issue the START/STOP UNIT command to start the spindle motor. 4. The disk drive enters the READY status 15 seconds after the START/STOP UNIT command is issued. At this time, the IDD reads "system information" from the system space on the disk. 5. When the LED display requirements are set to "the IDD is ready", the LED on the front panel ligths as in step 4. 6. When the LED display requirements are set to "the IDD operates" the LED blinks during command execution. 3. Check items at illegal operation * Check that cables are mounted correctly. * Check that power and voltages are supplied correctly. * Check the setting of each jumper setting terminal. The initial operation depends on the setting of the motor start mode and LED display requirements. * If an error is detected in initial self-diagnosis, the LED on the front panel blinks. In this case, it is recommended to issue the REQUEST SENSE command from the initiator (host system) to obtain information (sense data) for error analysis. When the LED display requirements are set to "the IDD is ready", the LED is turned off while the drive continues command execution. However, since the LED is turned off for only one blink, the LED may seem to be turned on and off or not turned off at all. When the LED display requirements are set to "the IDD operates", the LED lights during the IDD is executing a command. However, in some commands the lighting time is only an instant. Therefore, it seems that the LED blinks or the LED remains off. Since the IDD has the automatic readjustment function of positi- oning (seek) control, it automatically executes the adjustment operations with seek at specific intervals from power on (first adjustment: 5 minutes after power on). The seek sound is heard during the adjustment but this does not indicate a drive error. Dismounting drives ------------------ Take the drive offline. Disconnect system power before removing the drive. Do not remove mounting screws holding the cables and drive while power is on. Do not move the drive until it completely stops (30 seconds after spindle motor is stopped with START/STOP UNIT command or after power is turned off). ********************************************************************** F E A T U R E S ********************************************************************** FUJITSU M2691/2692/2693/2694-ES/ESA/ESB/EH/EHA/EHB OEM MAN.41FH5084E- Media defects ------------- The number of allowable media defects are as follows. M2691E : 378 and less M2692E : 462 and less M2693E : 546 and less M2694E : 630 and less Error recovery -------------- The IDD can try to recover from errors in SCSI bus or the disk drive using its powerful retry processing. If a recoverable data check occurs, error-free data can be transferred to the initiator after being corrected in the data buffer. The initiator software is released from the complicated error recover processing by these error recovery functions of the IDD. ECC --- It is a 8-byte error detection/correction code for the data field. It is possible to detect single burst errors with length of up to 44 bits or double burst errors with length of up to 10 bits and to correct single burst errors with lengths of up to 8 bits. Defect List ----------- Information of the defect location on the disk is managed by the defect list. The following are defect lists which the IDD manages. P list (Primary defect list): This list consists of defect location information available at the disk drive shipment and is recorded in a system space. The defects in this list are permanent, so that the INIT must execute the alternate block allocation using this list when initializing the disk. D list (Data defect list): This list consits of defect location information specified in a FORMAT UNIT command by the INIT at the initialization of the disk. This information is recorded in the system space of the disk drive as G list. To execute the alternate block allocation, the FORMAT UNIT command must be specified. C list (Certification defect list): This list consist of location information on defective blocks which are detected by the verifying operation (certification) of the data block after the initiation when executing the FORMAT UNIT command. The IDD generates this information when executing the FORMAT UNIT command, and the alternate block allocation is made upon the defective block. This information is recorded in the system space of the disk drive as the G list. G list (Growth defect list): This list consists of defective logical data block location information specified in a REASSIGN BLOCKS command by the INIT, information on defective logical data blocks assigned alternate blocks by means of IDD automatic alternate block allocation, information specified as the D list, and information generated as the C list. They are recorded in the system space on the disk drive. The INIT can read out the contents of the P and G lists by the READ DEFECT DATA command. Programmable data block length ------------------------------ Data can be accessed with fixed block length unit. Data block length is programmable, and can be set to the most suitable length, from 180 to 4,160 bytes with 2-byte boundary at formatting time. High speed data transfer ------------------------ The data transfer rate on the SCSI bus is 4MB/s maximum in asynchro- nous mode and 10MB/s in synchronous mode. Such a high data transfer rate on the SCSI bus can be useful with the large capacity buffer in the IDD. The maximum data transfer rate in asynchronous mode may be limited by the response time of the initiator and the length of SCSI bus length. The maximum data transfer in synchronous mode on the single-ended SCSI bus may be limited by the cable length and transmission charac- teristics of the SCSI bus and the connected SCSI device number. 512KB programmable multi-segment data buffer -------------------------------------------- Data is transfered between SCSI bus and disk media through the em- bedded 512KB data buffer in the IDD. This buffer can be divided into maximum 32 areas. This feature provides the suitable usage environment for users. Since the initiator can control the disconnect/reconnect timing on the SCSI bus by specifying the condition of stored data in the data buffer or empty condition of the data buffer, the initiator can per- form the effective input/output operations with utilizing high data transfer capability of the SCSI bus regardless of actual data trans- fer rate of the disk drive. Read-Ahead cache feature ------------------------ After executing the READ command, the IDD reads automatically and stores (prefetches) the subsequent data blocks into the data buffer (Read-Ahead caching). The high speed sequential data access can be achieved by transfering the data from the data buffer without reaccessing the disk in case the subsequent command requests the prefetched data blocks. Command queuing feature ----------------------- The IDD can queue maximum 128 commands, and optimize the issuing order of queued commands by the reordering function. This feature realizes the high speed processing. SCSI bus configuration ---------------------- Up to eight SCSI devices can be connected to the SCSI bus, with any combination of the SCSI devices that operate as initiator and that operate as target. Each SCSI device on the bus has its own unique address (SCSI-ID: #n). For input/output operation, a peripheral device attached to the SCSI bus that operates as target is addressed in unit called as logical unit. A unique address (LUN: logical unit number) is assigned for each logical unit. The initiator selects one SCSI device by specifying that SCSI ID, then specifies the LUN to select the peripheral device for input/ output operation. The IDD is constructed so that the whole volume of disk drive is a single logical unit, the selectable numbers of SCSI ID and LUN are as follows: SCSI ID: Selectable from 0 to 7 (switch selectable) LUN: 0 (fixed) Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) --------------------------------- MTBF of the IDD during its life time is 300.000 hours. Operating time (hours) at all field sites MTBF = ----------------------------------------------------- The number of equipment failures from all field sites Failure of the equipment means failure that requires repair, adjust- ments or replacement. Mishandling by the operator, failures due to bad environmental conditions, power trouble, host system trouble, cable failures, or other failures not caused by the equipment are not considered. Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) -------------------------- MTTR is the average time taken by a well-trined service mechanic to diagnose and repair a drive malfunction. The drive is designed for a MTTR of 30 minutes or less. Service life ------------ Overhaul of the drive is not required for following period which ever earlier if handled correctly. - DE surface temperature: 48*C or less......5 years - DE surface temperature: 48*C and more.....5 years or 20,000 power-on hours Data security at power failure ------------------------------ Integrity of the data on the disk is guaranteed against all forms of DC power failure except on blocks where a write operation was being performed. The above does not applied to formatting disks or assign- ing alternate blocks. DISCLAIMER ---------- Failure of the intelligent disk drives is defined as a failure requiring adjustments, repairs or replacement. Fujitsu is not responsible for drive failures caused by misuse by the user, poor environmental conditions, power trouble, host problems, cable fai- lures, or any failures not caused by the drive itself.

You should disable this feature in the initialize disks menue of the GDTSetup program. An inquiry command shows, that the harddisk supports tagged queues (this is why you can enable it in the GDTSetup) but this is not true as stated by Fujitsu Germany.
