On the Drive's PCBA, there are eight pairs of jumper pins, usually called jumpers, that control the drive's operation. (In addition, numerous options controlled by SCSI commands affect the operation of the drive.) Four of these jumper pins, PF, SS, INT, and I/O, are re- served for factory use. However, you might need to change some of the other six jumpers to configure the drive properly. These user- configurable jumpers include: (* RE(J2) (JUNE 1994) - ROM enable) * TE - Termination Enable Jumper * EP - Enable Parity Jumper * WS - Wait/Spin Jumper * A2,A1,A0 - SCSI-Bus Identification Jumpers * J13 - SCSI Termination Power Jumper When you change any jumper setting but J13, the new setting is in effect the next time the drive is powered on. J13 immediately affects the SCSI terminator power source.

When RE is off (default), the drive firmware is executed from FLASH memory. When the drive is shipped with RE ON, the firmware is executed from an internal microprocessor ROM. TE Termination Enable Jumper ---------------------------- One of the requirements of the SCSI bus is that it be terminated with proper termination resistors. If more than one hard disk device is connected to the host, the last one must be terminated. The TE (Termination Enable) jumper, when installed, connects terminating resistors to the SCSI bus. With the TE jumper off, no resistors are connected. EP Enable Parity Jumper ------------------------ The Enable Parity (EP) jumper controls parity checking across the SCSI bus. With parity checking enabled, the drive performs parity checking. With parity checking disabled, the drive continues to generate parity information, but not perform parity checking. At the factory Quantum configures the Empire 540/1080S hard disk drive with parity enables; that is, with a jumper installed across the pins labeled EP. To disable parity checking, remove the jumper from the EP pins. WS Wait/Spin Jumper -------------------- With the Wait/Spin (WS) jumper disabled, at a power on or reset, the drive motor starts to spin automatically, and the drive prepares itself to perform read or write operations without the need for a start command. At a power or reset, with the Wait/Spin jumper enabled, the host must send a START/STOP UNIT command to activate the drive motor for read or write operations. In addition, with the W/S jumper enabled, the drive performs power sequencing to prevent an overload of the host's power supply due to simultaneous, peak start- up current demands from multiple devices. At the factory, Quantum configures the Empire 540/1080S hard disk drive with the Wait/spin jumper disabled; that is, without a jumper installed across the pins labeled WS. To enable the Wait/spin jumper, install a jumper across the WS pins. A2/A1/A0 SCSI-Bus Device Identification ---------------------------------------- Used in combination, the jumper settings across A2, A1, and A0 de- termine the Empire 540/1080S hard disk drive's SCSI-bus device identification (SCSI ID). By default, Quantum configures the drive with a SCSI ID of six; that is, with jumpers installed across the pins labeled A2 and A1, and no jumper installed across the pins labeled A0.

Mounting -------- Drive mounting orientation, clearance, and ventilation requirements are described in the following subsections. For mounting, #6-32 UNC screws are recommended. To avoid stripping the mounting-hole threads, the maximum torque applied to the screws must not exceed 8 inch- pounds. Clearance --------- The printed-circuit board assembly (PCBA) is very close to the mounting holes. Clearance from the drive to any other surface - except mounting surfaces - must be 2.6 millimeters (0.10 inches) minimum. The specified screw length allows full use of the mounting- hole threads, while avoiding damaging or placing unwanted stress on the PCB. Ventilation ----------- The Empire 540/1080S hard disk drives operates without a cooling fan, provided the ambient air temperature does not exceed 131øF (55øC).

Power Sequencing ---------------- You can apply the power in any order or manner, or short or open either the power or power-return line with no loss of data or damage to the disk drive. However, data might be lost in the sector being written at the time of power loss. The drive can withstand transient voltages of +10% to -100% from nominal while powering up or down. When cycling power, a wait period of 15-20 seconds must be allowed to stop the spindle motor completely before power is restored. Air Filter ---------- Empire hard disk drives are Winchster-type drives. The heads fly very close to the media surface, at a nominal flying height of 0.3 microinches. Therefore, it is essential that the air circulating within the drive be kept free of paticles. Quantum assembles the drive in a Class-100, purified-air environment, sealing the drive mechanism under a metal cover. When the drive is in use, the rotation of the disks forces the air inside the drive through an internal filter. Disk Caching ------------ The Empire 540/1080S hard disk drive incorporates DisCache, a 512K disk cache, to enhance drive performance. This integrated feature can significantly improve system throughput. Read and write caching can be enabled or disabled using the MODE SELECT command.

The AIRLOCK holds the headstack in the landing zone whenever the disks are not rotating. It consists of an air vane mounted near the perimeter of the disk stack and a locking arm that restrains the actuator arm assembly. When 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 air vane increases with disk rotation, the locking arm pivots away from the actuator arm, enabling the headstack to move out of the landing. When DC power is removed from the motor, an electric return mechanism automatically pulls the actuator into the landing zone, where the AIRLOCK holds it in place. Microcomputer/DSP Interface --------------------------- The microcomputer and DSP operate in a master/slave relationship. The microcomputer is the master, and is able to read any location in the DSP's data or program memory, and can write to any RAM-based data or programm memory locations. A single exchange, which can occur once per control interval (twice per servo sample) involves either a read or a write of a single DSP memory location. The DSP code is structured such that a single write can initiate a seek.

Empire hard disk drives use nonremovable, 3«-inch hard disks. The Empire 540/1080S hard disk drives feature an embedded SCSI drive controller and use SCSI commands. The drive manages media defects and error recovery internally, so these operations are transparent to the user. Formatted Capacity ------------------ At the factory, the Empire 540/1080S receives a low-level format that creates the actual tracks and sectors on the drive. Track Formatting ---------------- The Empire 540/1080S hard disk drive is shipped from the factory with all of the physical sector addresses prewritten on the surface of the disk. As a result, the number of bytes per sector and the number of sectors per track are not selectable by the user. Reliability ----------- Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF): 500,000 Power On Hours (POH), typical usage Preventive Maintenance (PM): None Mean Time To Repair (MTTR): 30 minutes Start/Stop: 20,000 cycles (minimum) Defect Management ----------------- The Empire 540S allocates one sector per cylinder as a spare; the Empire 1080S allocates four sector per cylinder as a spare. In the factory, the media is scanned for defects. If a sector on a cylinder is found to be defective, the address of the sector is added to the drive's defect list. Sectors located physically subsequent to the defective sector are assigned logical block addresses such that a sequential ordering of logical blocks results. This inline sparing technique is employed in an attempt to eliminate slow data transfer that would result from a offline defect sparing. If more than four sector is found defective on a cylinder, the inline sparing technique is applied only to the first sector. The remaining defective sectors are replaced with the nearest available spare sectors on nearby cylinders. Such an assignment of additional replacement sectors from nearby sectors rather than having a central pool of spare sectors is an attempt to minimize the motion of the actuator and head that otherwise would be needed to find a replace- ment sector. The result is minimal reduction of data throughput. Error Correction Code and ECC On-The-Fly ---------------------------------------- The Empire 540/1080S hard disk drive implements a 14byte, three-way interleaved Reed-Solomom error detection and correction algorithm. Single burst errors of up to to 24 bits within one sector can be corrected "on-the-fly", in real time as they occur, allowing a high degree of data integrity with no impact to the drive's performance. The drive does not need to re-read sector on the next disk revolu- tion or apply ECC for those errors that are corrected on-the-fly. Errors corrected in this manner are invisible to the host system. The drive does not report a recovered error unless it needs more than two disk revolutions to correct the error. When errors cannot be corrected on-the-fly, an automatic retry and a more rigorous double burts error correction algorithm enable the correction of any sector with two burst of three incorrect bytes each. In addition to this error correction capability, the drive's implementation of an additional cross-checking code and algorithm double checks the main ECC correction and greatly improves the probability of miscorrection.

The spindle motor is Y-wound, with the center tap (neutral) brought out. The motor contains eight poles and operates as a three-phase device. Hardware Requirements --------------------- Empire 540/1080S hard disk drives are compatible with host computers and controllers that provide a SCSI-2 or SCSI-3 interface.

Due to the various ways Quantum and its distributors may list a product, how you identify your specific Quantum product may differ from one customer to another. Below is information on how to identify your Quantum disk drive by the original model / part number and how to locate your serial number. Model / Part Number: The bar-code identifies the disk drive part number. This label can be found on either the interface connector or the drive cover plate. This sequence is also called the TLA. The first 5 alpha-numeric values are all that is needed to identify the product. As demonstrated the first two characters identify the model type, the second two identify the capacity and the fifth identifies the interface / connector type. Serial Number: Quantum disk drive serial numbers are printed on a bar-coded label and display an 11 to 12 digit numeric sequence.
