SW1 Parity Check Option ------------------------ 4 OPEN SCSI Parity Check diabled CLOSED SCSI Parity Check enabled JP1 and JP2 ----------- JP1 and JP2 are used for inspection purposes at the factory. Please refraim from touching them. JP3 Auto Power Save -------------------- The function is selected by inserting a short-circuiting plug in JP3. Short-circuiting plug present: Auto power save on. Short-circuiting plug not present: Auto power save off. NOTES The setting of SCSI addresses and the selection of Auto Power Save function are read and stored at the time of reset or power-on. The selection of the parity check On/Off function is enabled as soon as it is set. Setting of Optional Functions ----------------------------- This Unit offers two optional functions: the Auto Power Save option to automatically put the Unit in Power Save mode when no access is made to the HDD over a certain time period; and the other option to select ON/OFF of the SCSI bus parity check function. The Unit comes from the factory with the Autp Power Save option inhibited and the parity check function set to ON. Moreover, the short-circuiting plug to be used for setting the said Auto Power Save function (JP3) has to be an equivalent product to the Dupont 68905-001. Installation/Removal of Terminating Resistors --------------------------------------------- In the case where multiple SCSI devices are to be connected to the same SCSI bus, the terminating resistors have to be removed for all the SCSI devices connected except for the one to be located at the farthest end of the cable. This Unit is shipped out of the plant with the terminating resistors installed. Remove these terminating resistors from all the SCSI devices but not the one which is situated at the farthest end of the cable. ********************************************************************** I N S T A L L ********************************************************************** NEC D3856 THEORY OF OPERATION 806-521348-0 REV. 1, 1991 Notes on installation ===================== Drive mounting -------------- horizontally vertically +-----------------+ +--+ +--+ +------------------+ | | | +-----+ +-----+ | | | x | | | | | | | | x+----------------+x +-+-----------------+-+ | | | | | | ||x x|| +---------------------+ | | | | | | || x x || | | | | | | || x x || x x | | | | | | || x x || +------x------x-------+ | +-----+ +-----+ | || xx || +-+------x--x-------+-+ +--+ +--+ || x x || | xx | || x x || | x x | || x x || +---x--------x----+ |x x| x x x++----------------++x Installation ------------ The D3856 Magnetic Disk Unit can be mounted horizontally as well as vertically. In horizontal installation, mount the Unit in such a posture that its printed-circuit board will be situated below (The unit cannot be mounted with the interface connector J1 and the power connector J3 positioned above or below. The unit has 10 mounting screw holes. Use these mounting screw holes for installing the Unit. Screws: M3x0.5, minimum depth: 4 mm Operation of the Unit requires a SCSI bus cable and a power supply cable. In case multiple SCSI device are going to be connected to one single SCSI bus, it is necessary to set up their SCSI addresses and to install/remove terminating resistors accordingly. Further, this Unit comes with a jumper (JP3) for adding the Auto Power Save option, and switch contacts for setting the parity check On/Off function of the SCSI bus. This settings will have to be done as needed according to the operating conditions of the Unit. Transportation and Precautions ------------------------------ When Transporting the Unit, exert extreme care so as to prevent it from being subjected to excessive shock and vibration. It is recommended to use the same packing box of the Unit for transporta- tion or storage. Avoid taking any action that would expose directly to the outside air the disk enclosue in which the magnetic disk media and magnetic heads are sealed. Printed-Circuit Board Assembly ------------------------------ This assembly incorporates an SCSI interface circuit, buffer RAM, data manager, read/write control circuit, servo-control circuit and spindle motor drive circuit. It exerts control on the overall opera- tion of the Unit and the Interface. Frame ----- The Unit comes in frame having 10 mounting screw holes. This frame is insulated from the disk enclosure assembly with shock absorber. In configuring an integral system with the Unit, see to it that the disk enclosure assembly will spearated from the system cabinet with a clearance of at least 2.54 mm provided around the Unit. Power Disconnection ------------------- When the power voltages of +5 VDC or +12 VDC has dropped below the specified value, this Unit interprets it as power outage. Upon power off, the Autoretract function of the Unit activates to automatically move the magnetic head to the Contact Start Stop (CSS) area. Interface Specification ----------------------- The Unit is provided with connector J1, used for connection to SCSI bus, and connector J3 for power supply. The unit to be located at the farthest end of the cable has to be fitted with terminating resistors. When Initiator and Target differ from each other in power source, it is recommended to supply power for terminaing resistance from Pin 26 of SCSI bus.

For SCSI bus, a 50-Conductor Flat cable or 25-Single Twisted Pair cable can be used. For impedance matching, a cable of 100 ohms 10% of impedance, with conductor diameter larger than 28 AWG is recommended. Example of recommended connector on J1 cable side: Du Pont 66900-250 or equivalent (Integrated housing and pins). Connector J3 ------------ The power supply connector J3 is AMP P/N350211-1 or equivalent. The AMP P/N 1-480424-0 is applicable to a connector housing on the cable side. In selecting a power cable, take into account the current consumption of the Unit and the necessary length of the cable itself, and use connector pins of material applicable to that of the conductors. +----------------------- | +--J3--------+ +-J1- pin 1 +12 V DC | | 1 2 3 4 | | 1 pin 2 +12 V DC Return | +------------+ +-- pin 3 +5 V DC Return +------------------ pin 4 +5 V DC Connectors J1 and J3 are molded as a unit.

The rotary voice coil motor employed in the magnetic head drive mechanism allows to realize write and read operations with high-speed seek and high reliability, and its write system adopts the 1-7 RLL modulation method. Features -------- The use of the Winchester technique has made it possible to accommodate the magnetic disk media and magnetic head section in an enclosed aluminium-alloy enclosure, which perfectly protects them from outside dust for higher reliability. The sector-servo method is adopted, in which servo signal are obtained from the data recording surface for positioning the magnetic head, and the type voice coil motor in use has allowed to attain a high-speed seek in 19 ms of average seek time. The magnetic disk medium comes with a CSS (Contact Start Stop) area at the innermost circumference, which, coupled with an Auto Retract and Auto Carriage Lock mechanisms, assures a high reliability against vibration and shock during transportation. The Unit adopts an interface conforming to the ANSI X3.131-1986 small computer system interface, which is standard for small computer systems. The Unit supports SCSI CCS (Common Command Set), as well as various option commands that are convenient for controlling the unit. The Arbitration function and the Disconnect/Reconnect function provided in the Unit serve to make an efficient use of the SCSI Bus. An Asynchronous Single Ended interface is in use. The Read Look Ahead Cache function is supported. High speed processing is availabe, as it allows to use the magnetic disk unit having 1.5 megabyte/sec. of read-write capabilities with 1:1 interleaving.

Logical connection of the Unit and the SCSI initiator is performed in accordance with the SCSI logic specification. This Unit is provided with the Arbitration function which can Disconnect/Reconnect the logical connection with the SCSI initiator. If the initiator has no Disconnect/Reconnect function by either sending the Identify (80H) of SCSI message or sending Message Reject code in response to the Disconnect request from this Unit. The logical connection of SCSI starts with the Bus Free Phase which is one of SCSI Bus Phases. The connection is terminated at the Information Transfer Phase via the Selection Phase in the case of the Non-arbitration system, and terminated at the Information Transfer Phase via the Arbitration Phase and the Selection Phase in the case of the Arbitration system.
