Mounting -------- For mounting, #6-32 UNC screws are recommended. CAUTION: The PCB is very close to the mounting holes. Do not exceed the specified length (3.5 mm, side 4 mm) 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 screws must not exceed 8 inch-pounds. A maximum screw length of 0.25 inches may be used in the side mounting locations when a bracket of 0.040 inches minimum thickness is included. Clearance --------- Clearance from the drive - except mounting surfaces - to any other surface must be 0.05 inches minimum. Ventilation ----------- The Fireball TM 1.2/2.1/3.2S hard disk drive operates without a cooling fan, provided the ambient air temperature does not exceed 131øF (55øC). Power Sequencing ---------------- You may 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 may 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. Disk Caching ------------ The Fireball TM 1.2/2.1/3.2S hard disk drive incorporates DisCache, a 70K 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 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 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. Connectors ---------- J1 is a two section combination connector. The drive's DC power is applied to section A. The SCSI interface (50-pin) uses section B. The connector is mounted on the back edge of the printed-circuit (PCB). A key slot on the header prevents the incorrect installation of the header connector on the SCSI cable. To prevent the header connector on the SCSI cable from being plugged in backwards, use only a keyed header connector.

Air Filtration -------------- The Fireball TM hard disk drives are Winchester-type drives. The heads fly very close to the media surface. 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 in use, the rotation of the disks forces the air inside of the drive through an internal filter.

Fireball hard disk drives use nonremovable, 3«-inch hard disks and are available with a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI-2, 3). The Fireball TM 1.2/2.1/3.2S hard disk drives feature an embedded SCSI drive controller and use SCSI commands to optimize system performance. Because the drive manages media defects and error recovery internally, these operations are fully transparent to the user. The innovative design of Fireball TM 1.2/2.1/3.2S hard disk drives enables Quantum to produce a family of low-cost, high-reliability drives. Performance: Average rotational latency of 6.67 ms 128K buffer with 70K dynamic segmentation cache. Look-ahead DisCache feature with continues prefetch and WriteCache write-buffering capabilities. Read-on-arrival firmware ECC-on-the-fly 1:1 interleave on read/write operations SCSI-bus active termination SCSI-bus active negation drivers Formatted Capacity ------------------ At the factory, the Fireball TM 1.2/2.1/3.2S receives a low-level format that creates the actual tracks and sectors on the drive. Reliability ----------- Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF): 400,000 Power On Hours (POH), typical usage The Quantum MTBF numbers represent Bell-Core MTBF TR-TSY-000332 predictions and represent the minimum MTBF that Quantum or a customer would expect from the drive. Preventive Maintenance (PM): Not required Start/Stop: 40,000 cycles (minimum) Component Life: 5 Years Error Detection and Correction ------------------------------ As disk drive areal densities increase, obtaining extremely low error rates requires a new generation of sophisticated error-correction codes. Quantum Fireball TM 1.2/2.1/3.2S series hard disk drives implement 224-bit trible burst Reed-Solomon error-correction techniques to reduce the uncorrectable read error rate to less than one bit in 1 x 10(14) bits read. When errors occurs, an automatic retry and a more rigorous double- burst correction algorithm enable the correction of any sector with two bursts of three incorrect bytes each or up to six multiple random one-byte burst errors. In addition to these advanced error correction capabilities, the drive's additional cross-checking code and algorithm double checks the main ECC correction to greatly re- duce the probability of miscorrection. Defect Management ----------------- The Fireball TM allocate two sectors 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 is maintained. This inline sparing technique is employed in an attempt to eliminate slow data transfer that would result from a single defective sector on a cylinder. If more than two sectors are found defective on a cylinder, the above inline sparing technique is applied only to the two sectors. 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. Data Transfer Rates ------------------- Data is transferred from the disk to the read buffer at a rate up to 10.4 MB/s in bursts. Data is transferred from the read buffer to the SCSI bus at a rate of up to 5.0 MB/sec in the asynchronous mode, or at up to 10.0 MB/s in the synchronous mode, or up to 20.0 MB/s in the Ultra SCSI mode. Track and Cylinder Skewing -------------------------- Track and cylinder skewing in the Fireball TM 1.2/2.1/3.2S minimizes latency time and thus increases data throughput. Track Skewing ------------- Track skewing reduces the latency time that results when the drive must switch read/write heads to access sequential data. A track skew is employed such that the next logical sector of data to be accessed will be under the read/write head once the head switch is made and the data is ready to be accessed. Thus, when sequential data is on the same cylinder but on a different disk surface, a head switch is needed but not a seek. Since the sequential head-switch time is well defined on the Fireball TM 1.2/2.1/3.2S, the sector addresses can be optimally positioned across track boundaries to minimize the latency time during a head switch. Cylinder Skewing ---------------- Cylinder Skewing also is used to minimize the latency tome associated with a single-cylinder seek. The next logical sector of data that crosses a cylinder boundary is positioned on the drive such that after a single-cylinder seek is performed, and when the drive is ready to continue accessing data, the sector to be accessed is positioned directly under the read/write head. Therefore, the cylinder skew takes place between the last sector of data on the last head of a cylinder and the first sector of data on the first head of the next cylinder. Since single-cylinder seeks are well defined on the Fireball TM 1.2/2.1/3.2S, the sector addresses can be optimally positioned across cylinder boundaries to minimize the latency time associate with a single-cylinder seek. Plug-and-Play SCSI ------------------ Plug-and-Play SCSI firmware simplifies disk drive installation by allowing automatic SCSI ID configuration without the use of manual jumper settings. This feature supports the plug-and-play SCSI initiative developed by major computer, operating system, and peripheral manufacturers. Plug-and-Play SCSI incorporates a new protocol that can automatically assign a SCSI device ID to participating devices. There are no jumpers or switches to set; no user involvement is necessary. Of course, Fireball drives are fully compatible with pre-plug-and-play hosts and targets. Plug-and-Play SCSI Initiator and Targets ---------------------------------------- A plug-and-play SCSI Initiator is a device that is capable of assigning a SCSI ID. Most systems have only one Initiator. A plug-and-play SCSI Target is a device that is capable of having a SCSI ID assigned to it by a plug-and-play Initiator. Most plug-and-play SCSI devices have a default SCSI ID that they use in non-plug-and-play systems; however, they do not use the default ID until they have detected selection by a non-plug-and-play initiator. Once this default ID has been used, the device is said to have "confirmed" its default ID. Before confirmation, the plug-and-play SCSI device delays its response to a selection for 4 ms. (This delay permits a plug-and-play SCSI Initiator to scan the SCSI bus for plug- and-play SCSI tolerant devices. Once confirmed, plug-and-play SCSI devices act like "normal" SCSI devices. Plug-and-Play SCSI Tolerant Devices ----------------------------------- A device is plug-and-play SCSI tolerant if it is compatible with the plug-and-play protocol (most SCSI devices fall within this category). A plug-and-play SCSI tolerant device can be detected if it: - Enables responding to selections within 5 seconds after power on - Enables responding to selections within 250 ms after reset - Actually responds to a selection (by asserting BSY) within 1 ms - Implements the hard reset alternative P C - D I S K The Harddisk Information Database DCI AG, Germany www.pc-disk.de ********************************************************************** G E N E R A L ********************************************************************** QUANTUM DRIVE ID Drive ID -------- In order to better assist customers, Quantum technical support engineers often ask "What is the model number or serial number of your disk drive?" 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. This label can be found on the drive plate, side or at the rear just below the interface cable connection. To use the table below; The bolded values are the characters found in the TLA, by scrolling through the table you should be able to define your specific drive.
