P6 12/11/1987 Notes on Installation ===================== Mounting Orientation -------------------- The MiniScribe 9000E Series uses industry-standard mounting for 5-1/4" Winchester Disk Drives. The 9000E Series are designed to be used in applications where the unit may experience shock and vibration at greater levels than larger and heavier disk drives. The drive may be mounted in any attitude. The 9000E drive is mounted using 6-32 UNC screws 1/4" maximum penetration. The customer must allow adequate ventilation to the drive to insure reliable operation. In as much as the drive frame acts as a heat sink to dissipate heat from the unit, the enclosure and mounting structure should be designed to allow natural convection of heat around the HDA and outer frame. If the enclosure is small or if natural convection is restricted, a fan may be required. Daisy Chaining the MiniScribe 9000 Drives ----------------------------------------- Up to seven 9000E Series drives may be connected to a single host controller/formatter. Control signals at J1 are transmitted via standard, daisy-chain interconnection. Data signals at J2 are trans- mitted via radially connected data-transfer lines. Note: Interface terminators RP4 and RP17 are installed only in the last physical drive in the control chain. Maximum number of drives = 7. Cabling ------- Attach interface cables in the following order: P1, P2, P3 and P4 to J1, J2, J3 and J4 respectively. Insure that connectors P1 and P2 have keys installed. If multiple drives are to be interconnected, remove the terminator packs in all but the last drive of the daisy chain. J1 Connector Control Signals ---------------------------- J1 is a 34 pin board edge connector on the drive printed circuit board. The signals on this connector control the drive and transfer drive status to the host controller. A key slot is provided between pins 4 and 6. Recommended mating connector: AMP ribbon connector 88373-3, or equivalent (key slot between pins 4 and 6). Recommended cable: 3M Scotchflex 3365/34 or equivalent. J2 Data Transfer Connector -------------------------- J2 is a 20-pin board connector on the printed circuit board. The signals on this connector contain read or write data. A key slot is provided between pins 4 and 6. Recommended mating connector: AMP ribbon connector 88373-6 or equivalent. Recommended cable: 3M Scotchflex 3365-20, or equivalent (keyslot be- tween pins 4 and 6). J3 DC Power Connector ---------------------- J3 is a 4-pin keyed connector on the printed circuit board. DC power (+5V and +12V) is supplied to the drive via this connector.

Electrical Interface -------------------- The MiniScribe 9000E Series is pin and function compatible with the serial mode of the Enhanced Small Device Interface (ESDI) for 5-1/4" Winchester Disk Drives. In the serial mode, interface signals (control, data and status) are transmitted serially via handshaking request/acknowledge signals. The Enhanced Small Device Interface can be divided into three categories, each of which is physically separated: a. Control Signals b. Data Signals c. DC power Control Signal Drivers and Receivers ------------------------------------ All control lines are digital in nature (open collector TTL) and either provide signals to the drive (input) or signals to the host (output). The drivers have the following electrical specifications. True/Active: 0.0 VDC to 0.4 VDC @ 1 = -48 mA (Max.) False/Deactive: 2.5 VDC to 5.25 VDC @ 1 = +250 A (Open Collector) Data Signal Drivers and Receivers --------------------------------- The data transfer signals are differential in nature and provide data either to (write) or from (read) the drive. ********************************************************************** F E A T U R E S ********************************************************************** MINISC. 9230E/9380E PRODUCT MANUAL P/N 1093 REV. P6, 12/11/1987 Introduction ------------ The MiniScribe 9000E Series of disk drives are low cost, high capacity, high performance random access storage devices utilizing 5 1/4" this film disks as storage media. Each disk surface employs one moveable head to access the data tracks. The 9000E Series features capacities of 230 and 380 megabytes (unformatted storage capacity). The 9000E disk drives utilize advanced 3380 Whitney-type head flexures and sliders which allow closer spacing of disks, allowing a higher number of disks in a standard 5 1/4" package.

A multiple defect is defined as 2 bytes or longer, or as a track with more than 1 single defect. Defect List ----------- The 9000E series drives are shipped with a defect list that is written in the ESDI Rev. F recommended format. The defect list resides on Sector 0 of cylinder 1223 and is repeated on cylinder 1215. This allows for redundancy should an error occur on the maximum cylinder. The Sector 0 or any surface will contain the defects for that surface. The format for the data field portion of this sector is 256 bytes with 2 bytes of CRC (x16 = 12 = x5 =1): Defect locations are 5 bytes long. The start of the actual defect may be off by up to 7 bits due to the one byte resolution. The end of the defect list for each surface will be indicated by 5 bytes of ones in the defect location field or the end of the sector. Error Message Readout --------------------- Flashing error codes are displayed through the drive LED by the Microprocessor to indicate hardware failures that occur while in the diagnostic mode (J9 installed) only. Failures during normal operation (connected to the host) will be reported through the ESDI interface. Error codes are displayed in a "morse-code" type manner. Flashes or bits are interpreted and converted into a hexadecimal error code. "Zeros" are indicated by a short (1/2 second) flashing mode. "Ones" are indicated by a short (1/2 second) continuous "on" mode. Error codes are separated by a one-second LED "off" time. All error codes and the revision level are 6 bits long. Listed Below are the binary to hexadecimal conversion values: 00 = 000000 04 = 000100 08 = 001000 0C = 001100 01 = 000001 05 = 000101 09 = 001001 0D = 001101 02 = 000010 06 = 000110 0A = 001010 0E = 001110 03 = 000011 07 = 000111 0B = 001011 0F = 001111 10 = 010000 14 = 010100 18 = 011000 1C = 011100 11 = 010001 15 = 010101 19 = 011001 1D = 011101 12 = 010010 16 = 010110 1A = 011010 1E = 011110 13 = 010011 17 = 010111 1B = 011011 1F = 011111 30 = 110000 31 = 110001 32 = 110010 39 = 111001 3E = 111110 Message Definitions ------------------- Code 00 - Microprocessor RAM error Code 01 - Microprocessor ROM checksum error Code 02 - Interface chip diagnostic failure Code 03 - Sector counter fault Code 04 - Index pulse not detected during spinup Code 05 - Spin speed not within 0.5% tolerance Code 06 - Loss of fine track during idle mode Code 07 - Reserved Code 08 - Time out on +End Decel signal (during seek) Code 09 - Time out on CYL Pulse (during seek) Code 0A - Overshoot (after a seek) Code 0B - Time out on fine track (after a seek) Code 0C - Track zero signal not detected (after a seek) Code 0D - Comparator mismatch (after a seek) Code 0E - Comparator mismatch (during a seek) Code 0F - Unexpected interrupt from processor Code 10 - Time out on non-GB pattern (during a rezero) Code 11 - Time out on GB1 pattern (during a rezero) Code 12 - Time out on GB2 pattern (during a rezero) Code 13 - Seek range error Code 14 - Voltage unsafe Code 15 - Track offset fault Code 16 - Write fault Code 17 - Reserved Code 18 - Time out on +End Decel sig (during a rezero) Code 19 - Time out on CYL Pulse (during a rezero) Code 1A - Overshoot (after a rezero) Code 1B - Time out on fine track (after a rezero) Code 1C - Track 0 signal not detected (after a rezero) Code 1D - Comparator mismatch (after a rezero) Code 30 - Time out on non-GB pattern (adj) Code 31 - Time out on GB1 pattern (adj) Code 32 - Time out on GB2 pattern (adj) Code 39 - Time out on CYL Pulse (adj) Code 3E - Cannot adjust servo Reliability and Maintenance --------------------------- MTBF 30,000 POH MTTR 30 minutes Preventive Maintenance None Component Design Life 5 years Magnetic Field -------------- The externally induced magnetic flux density may not exceed 3 Gauss as measured at the top of the drive. Spindle Drive Mechanism ----------------------- A brushless DC drive motor located inside the spindle/hub assembly rotates the disk pack at 3600 RPM. This design allows the disk pack to be symmetrically mounted in the unicasting. It provides a more even distribution of heat across the disk surfaces and within the HDA improving performance under thermal or shock and vibration stresses. The disk pack (including spindle, hub, disks, and motor) is dynamically balanced prior to installation to insure low vibration and servo stability. Dynamic braking is employed to quickly stop the drive motor when power is removed. Air Filtration System --------------------- The disks and Read/Write heads are assembled in an ultraclean air environment (Class 100 or better) and then sealed within the head disk assembly. Within this sealed HDA a 0.1 micron filter provides constant internal air filtration. In addition, a breather filter provides a clean, equalized pressure between internal air and ambient to the HDA for the life of the drive. Automatic carriage retract and locking -------------------------------------- If power is removed from the drive during a normal power down or in the event of a power failure, the actuator assembly will automatic- ally retract and be locked in a nondata area located at the inner- most portion of the disk. The heads will land on and take off from this area only.
