Notes On Installation
=====================
Mounting
--------
The drive can be mounted using either side-mounting screws or
bottom-mounting screws.
Planning the system
-------------------
This section supplements the installation instructions presented in
the user's manual (publication 83327720). To aid in configuring the
drive for specific system requirements, the following subjects are
discussed:
- Guidelines for enclosure design
- Guidelines for proper air flow
- Using the sweep cycle function
Guidelines for enclosure design
-------------------------------
The drive is a component for installation in an enclosure that you
have designed. The enclosure design must provide for mounting the
drive and power supply, cable routing, and cooling. See the next
topic for guidelines on providing proper cooling.
The system designer is responsible for obtaining any needed agency
approvals such as UL, CSA, and VDE.
Guidelines for proper air flow
------------------------------
Your enclosure design must ensure adequate cooling for the drive.
We recommend orienting the drive or directing the air flow in a way
that creates the least amount of air-flow resistance while providing
air flow above the circuit boards and around the head and disc
assembly (HDA). Also, choose the shortest possible path between the
air inlet and exit. This minimizes the distance traveled by air that
is heated by the drive and by other nearby heat sources.
The airflow patterns can be created by the fans either pushing or
drawing air. The overall flow pattern can be directed from front to
back, back to front, or side to side.
To evaluate the airflow design, place the drive in its final
mechanical position and perform random read and write operations.
After the temperatures stabilize, measure the surface (case)
temperatures of the components.
In some cases, the internal cables connect to a bulkhead that allows
external shielded cables to be connected. Shielded cables must be
used if the cables run between cabinets.
Cumulative cable length in a daisy-chain system cannot exceed 25.0m
(82.0 ft) for drives using differential I/O. With single-ended I/O,
cumulative cable length cannot exceed 3.05m (10.0 ft).
ST43402ND (dual port) drives have both I/O connectors (one for Port A
and the other for Port B) located on the I/O board. You must use an
adapter (part number 70935801) to terminate each I/O cable following
the last drive in the daisy chain.
ST43401N/ND (single-ended) drives are shipped with resistorpak
terminators installed on the control board. Each end of the
daisy-chain I/O cable must be terminated. If the resistorpak
terminators are in place on the drive, external terminators are not
needed. Single-ended terminators and differential terminators have
different part numbers and electrical characteristics (they cannot be
interchanged).

Using the sweep cycle function
------------------------------
The sweep cycle is a feature that periodically moves the heads to
different locations on the discs during intervals when the drive is
idle. The following are highlights of the sweep cycle function:
- Using the sweep cycle enhances drive reliability. We encourage you
either to enable the drive sweep cycle or to use a sweep cycle
controlled by the host (initiator). Consult with an analyst in
making this choice.
- The sweep routine consumes approximately 11 seconds of a 13-hour
period. The drive is available to the system more than 99.98
percent of the time.
- You may disable the sweep cycle (described below) without affecting
the specified mean time between failures (MTBF) or warranty
agreements.
The drive is preset during manufacturing with the sweep cycle option
selected. A jumper on the control board makes the selection. The
other jumpers on the control board are discussed in the user's
manual.
The jumper is identified as Sweep Cycle Option, which either enables
or disables the sweep cycle function. The jumper can be positioned as
follows:
- Jumper disconnected - disables the sweep cycle function
- Jumper connected - enables the sweep cycle function
Sweep movements, if enabled, can occur only in conjunction with seeks
required by the controller or with any SCSI read or write operation
having an implied seek. Each time the drive performs a sweep cycle,
it starts a 12-minute timeout. When the timeout has elapsed, the
drive performs another sweep cycle only when it receives the Seek
command. When combining a sweep cycle with a seek, the drive performs
the sweep cycle first and then executes the Seek command.
If a sweep segment was initiated by the Seek command, the drive
performs the sweep function and then moves the heads to the cylinder
requested by the controller. If about 15 minutes elapse with no disc
access commands received from the SCSI bus, the SCSI I/O logic sends
a one-track seek command to the drive logic. This command causes the
drive to perform its sweep cycle.
Interface functions
-------------------
This section provides an overview of the small computer system
interface (SCSI) as it is used in the Elite drive. It is beyond the
scope of this manual to provide a detailed description of all the
features, capabilities, variations, and protocol of SCSI-2. This
information is provided in the SCSI Interface Specification for the
Elite Product Family (document 64721702).
All communications between drive and controller must pass through the
interface. This communication includes all commands, status, control
signals, and read/write data transfers. The interface consists of the
I/O cables and the logic (on part of the control board) required to
process the signals sent between the drive and controller.
Dual port drive (ST43402ND) considerations
------------------------------------------
ST43402ND dual port drives have some different operating limits from
the single port drives discussed in this manual. These differences
are listed below.
- Dual port drives have separate sense buffers, synchronous transfer
agreements, and unit attention conditions for each initiator on
both ports.
- Any initiator may place commands in the queue on either port.
- Data placed in the cache by one port may be used to satisfy a read
request from the other port. A write from one port may cause data
cached by a read request from the other port to be purged from the
cache.
SCSI bus configuration
----------------------
The SCSI bus can have a maximum of 16 devices connected to it, and
communication can occur between any 2 devices at any given time. The
device that originates an operation is referred to as the initiator
and the device that performs the operation is the target. The drive
uses one unshielded I/O cable to attach it to the SCSI bus. You must
supply all unshielded cables. Shielded cables are typically used for
connections between cabinets where electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection are required. The
I/O cable carries commands, data, and status information across the
SCSI bus.

SEAGATE ST43401N/ND/43402ND REFERENCE MANUAL 83327730 REV. C 12/94
Preface
-------
This is a reference manual for users of Seagate ST43401N/ND and
ST43402ND Elite disc drives employing the SCSI interface. It
supplements the information presented in the user's manual
(publication 83327720). It is intended to aid engineers who
design subsystems using the drive and customer engineers who
install and check out the drive. This manual should be used in
conjunction with the user's manual.
Electrostatic discharge protection
----------------------------------
Caution. Removal of circuit boards by personnel not performing depot
repair will damage components and may void the warranty.
All drive electronic assemblies are sensitive to static electricity
due to the electrostatically sensitive devices used within the drive
circuitry. Although some devices such as metaloxide semiconductors
are extremely sensitive, all semiconductors, as well as some
resistors and capacitors, may be damaged or degraded by exposure
to static electricity.
Electrostatic damage to electronic devices may be caused by the
direct discharge of a charged conductor, or by exposure to the
static fields surrounding charged objects. To avoid damaging
drive electronic assemblies, service personnel must observe the
following precautions when servicing the drive:
- Ground yourself to the drive whenever the drive electronics are
or will be exposed. Connect yourself to ground with a wrist strap
(Seagate part number 12263496). Connection may be made to any
grounded metal assembly. As a general rule, remember that you
and the drive electronics must all be grounded to avoid
potentially damaging static discharges.
- Turn off power before removing or installing the DC power cable.
- Do not remove any circuit boards from the drive.
- Never use an ohmmeter on any circuit boards.
Important safety information and precautions
--------------------------------------------
Caution. Use forced-air ventilation when bench-testing the drive to
ensure proper cooling of drive components.
Use proper safety and repair techniques for safe, reliable operation
of this unit. Service should be done only by qualified persons. We
recommend the procedures in this manual as effective ways of
servicing the unit. Some procedures require the use of special
tools. For proper maintenance and safety, you must use these
tools as recommended.
The procedures in this manual contain warnings and cautions that
must be carefully read and followed to minimize or eliminate the
risk of personal injury. The warnings point out conditions or
practices that may endanger you or others. The cautions point
out conditions or practices that may damage the unit, possibly
making it unsafe for use.
You must also understand that these warnings and cautions are not
exhaustive. We cannot possibly know, evaluate, and advise you of
all the ways in which maintenance might be performed or the possible
risk of each technique. Consequently, we have not completed any
such broad evaluation. If you use a nonapproved procedure or tool,
first ensure that the method you choose will not risk either your
safety or unit performance.
Always observe the following warnings and precautions:
------------------------------------------------------
- Perform all maintenance by following the procedures in this manual.
- Follow all cautions and warnings in the procedures.
- Use sound safety practices when operating or repairing the unit.
- Use caution when troubleshooting a unit that has voltages present.
Remove power from the unit before servicing it.
- Wear safety shoes when removing or replacing heavy parts.
- Ensure that the internal temperature of the rack or cabinet will
not exceed the limits defined for the drive when the drive is
mounted in an equipment rack or cabinet. When units are stacked
vertically, pay special attention to the top where temperatures
are usually highest.
- Follow the precautions listed under "Electrostatic discharge
protection" above.
- Do not remove any circuit boards from the drive chassis. Return
the entire drive for depot repair if any circuit board is
defective. Removal of circuit boards by personnel not performing
depot repair will damage components and may void the warranty.
- Do not remove the head and disc assembly (HDA) from the drive
chassis. Return the entire drive for depot repair if the HDA is
defective.
- Do not attempt to disassemble the HDA. It is not field repairable.
If the sealed HDA is opened by personnel not performing depot
repair, this will damage components and void the warranty.
- As a component, this drive is designed to be installed and operated
in accordance with UL1950, IEC950, EN60950, CSA C22.2 950, and
VDE0805.
- Ensure that the power supply meets the specifications in this
manual and is designed to be used in accordance with UL1950,
IEC950, EN60950, CSA C22.2 950, and VDE0805.
Seagate takes all reasonable steps to ensure that its products are
certifiable to currently accepted standards. Typical applications of
these disc drives include customer packaging and subsystem design.
Safety agencies conditionally certify component assemblies, such
as the Elite disc drive, based on their final acceptability in the
enduse product. The subsystem designers are responsible for meeting
these conditions of acceptability in obtaining safety/regulatory
agency compliance in their end-use products and in certifying where
required by law. A necessary part of meeting safety requirements is
the provision for overcurrent protection on drive SELV supply
voltages.
This unit is a component part and as such is not meant to comply with
FCC or similar national requirements as a standalone unit.
Engineering radiated and conducted emissions test results are
available through the Seagate Safety Department to assist the
subsystem designer.
General maintenance information
-------------------------------
This section contains general information relating to maintenance
of the drive. You should be familiar with the information in this
