Dimensions and Mounting
-----------------------
The 1528-15 drive uses industry-standard mounting for 5 -inch full-
height Winchester disk drives.
Recommended orientation is vertical on either side, or horizontal
with the Device Electronics board down; other mounting orientations
may be used provided the ambient air temperature around the drive is
kept at or below 50*C (122*F).
The term "ambient" becomes imprecise when referencing a drive in a
system, since it is difficult to determine where the air temperature
should be measured. To help resolve this confusion, Micropolis
specifies that the maximum HDA casting temperature (regardless of the
air temperature around the drive) is 60*C (140*F). Not exceeding this
temperature will ensure that the head-to-media interface never exceed
its temperature limit.
Inasmuch 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 natural convetion is limited,
a fan may be required.
Mounting Screws
---------------
2 per side 6-32 UNC-2B
4 on bottom 6-32 UNC-2B
CAUTION: The mounting screws must be selected so that they do not
penetrate the bottom mounting holes by more than 0.20 inches or the
side mounting holes by more than 0.156 inches. Screws that are too
long will short to PCBA components and/or prevent proper operation of
the shock mount system.
Signal Connector J1
-------------------
J1 is a 50-pin connector on the Device Electronics board. Signal
interface connection is made via this connector. The signals on J1
include the 8-bit SCSI bus and various control and handshaking lines.
Recommended Cable: 3M Scotchflex 3365/50 or equivalent
Mating Connector: 3M P/N 3425-3000 or equivalent
Multi-Function Connector J2
---------------------------
J2 is a 24-pin connector on the Device Electronics board and is used
for connecting the drive to a user-supplied Operator Panel.
DC Power Connector J3
---------------------
J3 is a 4-pin, keyed AMP MATE-N-LOK Connector on the Motor Control

T = TERMINATORS
Interface Terminators are installed ONLY in the last physical drive
in the control chain.
Connectors J4 and J5 are provided for grounding; system
characteristics determine the proper ground connection.
Interface Electrical Characteristics (Single-ended)
---------------------------------------------------
Interface control and status signals are digital (open collector TTL)
utilizing industry-standard transmitters and receivers which provide
a terminated, single-ended system.
The assigned signals are terminated with 220 ohms to +5V (nominal)
and 330 ohms to ground at each end of the cable. All signals use
open-collector or three-state drivers.
Single-ended drivers and receivers allow a maximum cable length of
six meters (primarily for connection within a cabinet).
Signal transmission requires a single 50-conductor cable. A
characteristic impedance of 100 ( 10%) ohms is recommended for un-
shielded flat or twisted-pair ribbon cable.
a. Input Characteristics
Each of the drive's signal receivers has the following
characteristics when measured at the interface connector.
1) Signal true = 0.0 VDC to 0.8 VDC
2) Maximum total input load = -0.4 milliamps at 0.5 VDC
3) Signal false = 2.0 VDC to 5.25 VDC
4) Minimum input hysteresis = 0.2 VDC
b. Output Characteristics
Each signal driven by an SCSI device has the following
characteristics when measured at the interface connector.
1) Signal assertion = 0.0 VDC to 0.5 VDC
2) Minimum driver output capability = 48 milliamps (sinking) at
0.5 VDC.
3) Signal negation = 2.5 VDC to 5.25 VDC
c. Terminator Power (TERMPWR at Pin 26)
Terminator Power has the following requirements:
V(TERM) = 4.25 VDC to 5.25 VDC
800 milliamps minimum source drive capability with 1.0 amp
recommended current limiting (e.g., a fuse).
1.0-milliamp maximum bus loading (except for the purposes of
providing power to an internal terminator).
The 1528-15 disk drive provides keyed connectors to prevent
accidental grounding or misconnection of terminator power.
Interface Electrical Characteristics (Differential)
---------------------------------------------------
Differential drivers and receivers allow a maximum cable length of
25 meters. Differential interface signals consist of two signal lines
denoted +SIGNAL and -SIGNAL.
A signal is defined as true when the +SIGNAL is more positive than
the -SIGNAL.
A signal is defined as false when the -SIGNAL is more positive than
the +SIGNAL.
- Signal transmission requires a single 50-conductor cable.
- A characteristic impedance of 100 ( 10%) ohms is recommended for
unshielded twisted-pair ribbon cable.
- A minimum conductor size of 28 AWG should be employed to minimize
noise effects and ensure proper distribution of optional
terminator power.
A stub length of no more than 0.2 meters is allowed off the main-line
interconnection within any connected equipment.
a. Input Characteristics
Each of the drives signal receivers has the following
characteristics when measured at the interface connector.
I(I) (input current on either input) = 2.0 milliamps, maximum
Note: These characteristics include both receivers and passive
drivers.
This requirement is met with the input voltage varying between -7V
and +12V, with power either on or off, and with hysteresis equaling
35 millivolts, minimum.
b. Output Characteristics
Each driven signal has the following characteristics when
measured at the interface connector.
VOL (low-level output voltage) = 1.7 V max at IOL
where IOL = 55 milliamps
VOH (high-level output voltage) = 2.7 V max at IOH
where IOH = -55 milliamps
VOD (differential voltage) = 1.0 V minimum, with commonmode
voltages ranges from -7 to +12
VOL and VOH are measured between the output terminal and the
SCSI device's logic ground reference.
c. Terminator Power (TERMPWR at Pin 25 and 26)
Terminator Power has the following requirements:
V(TERM) = 4.0 VDC to 5.25 VDC
600 milliamps minimum source drive capability with 1.0 amp
recommended current limiting (e.g., a fuse).
1.0 milliamp maximum bus loading (except for the purposes of
providing power to an internal terminator).
The 1528-15D disk drive provides keyed connectors to prevent
accidental grounding or misconnection of terminator power.
Adjustments and Maintenance
---------------------------
The 1528-15 disk drive requires no adjustments or periodic
maintenance. Additionally, no mechanical adjustments are required to
prepare the drives for handling or shipment.
Field-Replaceable Components
----------------------------
The concept of repair by replacement of complete functional
components is utilized in the 1525-15, resulting in an MTTR of
less than 15 minutes.

Formatted Capacity Calculation
------------------------------
The formatted capacity of the 1528-15 disk drive depends upon a
a number of userselectable variables. One critical variable is
sparing, either track-oriented or cylinder-oriented.
The following formula is used to calculate the formatted capacity (C)
of the 1528-15 drive using cylinder-oriented sparing:
C = [(SPT x HDS) - (SPARE_SPC)] x (2106 - 3 - SPARE_CYL) x (BYTES)
where SPT is the number of physical sectors per track.
HDS is the number of data heads.
SPARE_SPC is the number of spare sectors per cylinder. This variable
is user programmable. A typical value for the 1528-15 drive is 8.
2106 is the number of physical cylinders.
3 cylinders are used by the drive and are not user accessible.
SPARE_CYL is the number of spare cylinders. This variable is user
programmable; a typical value for sparing is 3.
BYTES is the bytes per sector (e.g., 1024, 512, etc.)
Media Defects
-------------
Media defects are physical characteristics of the media which result
in repetitive read errors when a functional drive is operated within
specified operating conditions.
At the time of manufacture, a media test system evaluates every drive
and identifies each media defect location. The defects are logged on
a label affixed to the drive.
The defective areas are identified by Head address (HD), Cylinder
address (CYL), and number of Bytes from Index (BFI). A printed list
of the defects is also shipped with each drive.
The list of manufacturer-found defects is stored on the drive in a
reserved, write-protected area accessible by the SCSI controller.
This list is known as the MDL (Manufacturers Defect List) or PList
(Primary Defect List).
The entries is contains can be mapped out (reassigned) automatically
during the operation by appropriate use of the format control
parameter bit.
+------------------------------------------------------------+
| Micropolis specifies that all 1528-15 drives shall have no |
| more than one defect per megabyte of unformatted capacity. |
+------------------------------------------------------------+
Adjustments and Maintenance
---------------------------
The 1528-15 disk drive requires no adjustments or periodic mainten-
ance; aditionally, no mechanical adjustments are required to prepare
a system for handling or shipment.
Field-Repalceable Components
----------------------------
The concept of repair by replacement of complete functional
components is utilized in the 1528-15, resulting in an MTTR of less
than 15 minutes.
Air Filtration System
---------------------
The 1528-15 drives are designed to provide contamination control
within the sealed Head/Disk Assembly (HDA) throughout the life of the
drive with zero maintenance.
Air within the HDA is continuously recirculated and filtered through
a high efficiency filter. Air is ducted to and from the filter for
maximum pressure recovery and filter efficiency. Air within the HDA
may only enter the drive through a high-efficiency breather filter.
Data Transfers
--------------
1528-15 drives are capable of transferring data at 4.8 MBytes/sec. in
synchronous mode and 1.8 MBytes/sec in asynchronous mode. In some
configurations (e.g., short cable and fast host), the 1528-15 can
achieve faster asynchronous transfer rates.
Read-Ahead
----------
The read-ahead function causes the 1528-15 drive to transfer the
requested block into its buffer and continue to read sequential
blocks until the buffer is filled or another command is received.
On subsequent request for data, the buffer will be checked for the
requested blocks. If the data already resides in the buffer, it will
be transferred to the host and no media access will be necessary.
This results in a significant improvement in performance.
Through Parity
--------------
Data integrity is maintained in the 1528-15 drive by maintaining
parity from the SCSI interface, through the drive's buffer, to just
before the point where the data byte is converted to serial form
for transmission to the media.
N-Segment Data Buffer/Cache
---------------------------
The 256K data buffer is dynamically divided into segments with each
segment holding data from different areas of the disk. This maximizes
the improvement of read-ahead technology by greatly increasing the
probability of a cache hit.
This feature improves the performance of all types of system; from
single threaded DOS environments to complex architectures like UNIX
with its own system caches.
