JUMPER SETTINGS

The jumper block shown above is used to select the SCSI device ID, to
control the spindle motor start and to select the appropriate option
pin (B1) function.  There are four ground pins, A1, A2, A3, B2.  If pin
B1 is jumpered to ground, drive initiated synchronous negotiation is
disabled, but requests from the initiator will still be accepted.
Option block ground pins must only be used for selecting jumper block
functions.

Figure 1 Option Block

With the auto start jumper in place the motor spins up when power is
applied.  With the auto start jumper removed the motor spins up when the
drive is issued a Start Unit command.

Note:  During the power up sequence the option pin is interrogated.  If
it is grounded the pin remains an input.  If it is not grounded it
becomes an output, indicating Motor Active or Command Active depending
on the state of the CMDAC bit in Mode page 0.

As an input the option pin has several effects upon the SCSI function.
Please refer to the 0661 SCSI Specification for details.

Note:  Banding as defined here refers to the number of spare sectors
provided per cylinder to reallocate defective sectors.  Band 2
cylinders are those nearer the inside diameter of the data surfaces.
These have additional spare sectors since the likelihood of defective
sectors is higher in this region.  This feature does not affect the
instantaneous media data rate which is constant across all cylinders.


OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
=====================

The drive operates within its' performance limits when the following
environment is maintained.  Product life calculations are based on the
nominal environment for a typical application.

Humidity:
  Operating           8% to 90% noncondensing
  Storage             5% to 95% noncondensing
  Shipping            5% to 100% (applies at a packaged level)

Wet Bulb Temperature:
  Operating           80 degrees F (26.7 degrees C) maximum
  Shipping/Storage    85 degrees F (29.4 degrees C) maximum

Elevation:
  Operating           -1000 to 10,000 feet
                      (-304 to 3,048 meters)
  Shipping/Storage    -1000 to 40,000 feet
                      (-304 to 12,192 meters)

Temperature:
  Operating ambient   41 to 131 degrees F (5 to 55 degrees C)
  Operating casting   41 to 131 degrees F (5 to 60 degrees C)
  temperature
  Operating casting   Not to exceed 3.6 degrees F (2 degrees C)
  temperature delta   (see note below)
  Shipping            -40 to 149 degrees F (-40 to 65 degrees C)
  Storage             34 to 149 degrees F (1.1 to 65 degree C)

Temperature Gradient
  Operating           18 degrees F (10 degrees C) per hour
  Shipping/Storage    below condensation

These temperature limits are extremely important and must not be
exceeded at the worst case drive and system operating conditions with
the drive randomly seeking, reading, and writing.

Note:  Measured between top and bottom of disk enclosure.  See Figure 3
on back page for location of measurement points.

COOLING
This drive does require airflow in order to fulfill its' reliability
performance.

Please refer to Environmental section of the 0663 Disk Drive product
specification for full details of the maximum allowable temperatures
and measurement points.

A summary of the measurements is shown if Figure 3.

Integration into using System
-  The drive's mounting frame is electrically isolated from the drive's
   disk enclosure.

NOTE: THE DISK ENCLOSURE IS NOT AT GROUND POTENTIAL.

Any user mounting scheme must not result in the disk enclosure being
shorted to ground.  Drive malfunction will result if this occurs.

COMPATIBILITY
-  Testing should be carried out to ensure that the drive is fully
   compatible with the using system.

System BIOS, Operating system, Device drivers and interface card BIOS/
characteristics can effect the ability to attach the drive to the
system.  All need to be verified jointly as compatible with the drive.

The drive should be verified in the mode it will be attached to the
system.

It cannot be assumed that a drive which attaches as an additional SCSI
device on a system providing only additional data storage will have no
problems when attached as the only/boot drive.

SCSI ADAPTERS
-  The following SCSI Adapters have been operated with the 0663 drives
   on Typical ISA and E15A platforms under MS-DOS and worked in these
   environments with no observed problems.

  - ISA Bus Adapters -
ADAPTEC AHA 1542BS6
INFOSYS C5630B
WESTERN DIGITAL WD7000-ASC
DATA TECHNOLOGY CORP DTC3180
DATA TECHNOLOGY CORP DTC3280A
DATA TECHNOLOGY CORP DTC3150
FUTURE DOMAIN TMC 850M
FUTURE DOMAIN TMC 860M
FUTURE DOMAIN TMC 885M
TENTIME TNT-6000

Note:  The option pin jumper on the drive must be grounded when
attaching to TMCXXX M cards.

  - EISA Bus Adapters -
ADAPTEC AHA 1740
DATA TECHNOLOGY CORP DTC3290

-  The Adaptec AHA1542B SCSI controller is not compatible with the
   0663 drives.

Adaptec provides an upgrade kit comprising new BIOS and Microcode PROMS
to allow conversion of existing AHA1542B cards to the AHA1542BS6
version.

KNOWN INTEGRATION SOLUTIONS
-  The drive initiates negotiation for synchronous data transfer rate
   during the initialization sequence.  This may cause problems which
   prevent attachment to some systems/SCSI controller cards.  Jumpering
   the option pin to ground on the jumper block prevents the drive from
   sending the synchronous negotiation message.  However, other changes
   are also made to the drive's behavior ref error reporting and sense
   information returned.  These are detailed in the Disk Drive SCSI
   specification.

Configuration Required:
The drive will attach with no changes but should the drive enter
degraded mode, due for instance to an interrupted format, it will be
necessary to ground the option pin on the drive jumper block before
the drive can be reformatted on the system.

Device Parameter Settings Declared to System:
The system will accept a wide range of settings provided these do not
result in the total number of data sectors declared (Data Cylinders x
Heads x Sectors per track) exceeding the number available on the drive.

Configuration Required:
Connect 'OPTION PIN' on drive jumper block to ground.
Platform               APPLESYSTEMS
Operating System(s)    Proprietary (supplied with platform)

Configuration Required:
No modification to the drive are required.  However, attachment to many
APPLE systems is not possible using the device drivers supplied.

There are third-party device drivers which allow attachment including
'SPOT ON' from MacPeak Research.

These overcome the incompatibility associated with the drive returning
the 'UNIT ATTENTION' condition in response to the first SCSI command
following power-up or a SCSI bus RESET.  They also allow the APPLE
'Blind Write' feature to be turned off, which is necessary since this
feature is not supported by the drive and would result in SCSI Write
errors occurring.

PLEASE NOTE THAT TURNING 'BLIND WRITE' OFF WILL RESULT IN DEGRADED
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE WRITE OPERATIONS.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
-  The drive reports status in response to the SCSI 'Sense' command and
   this is a powerful troubleshooting tool on any drive whose failure
   mode still allows it to communicate.

-  If the drive is interrupted by powering down during a format
   operation it will enter degraded mode.  In this mode it will return
   a 'Unit Attention' condition to most SCSI commands.

Issuing a 'Sense' Command immediately after issuing a 'Test Unit
Ready' Command will return sense data which indicates that the drive
is in degraded mode.

The way to recover the drive is to issue the SCSI 'Format' command
and allow the drive to format to completion.

current.


ELECTRICAL INTERFACE SPECIFICATIONS
===================================

The IBM OEM 0663 Disk Drive uses single-ended drivers and receivers
that permit cable lengths of up to 6 meters (19.68 feet).

Connectors
The drive has two connectors:  one for power, the other for
connecting to the SCSI bus.

Power
The DC power connector is designed to mate with a MOLEX AMP
PN 1-480424-0 connector or equivalent.  Pin assignments are
shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2 Power Connector Pin Assignments

SCSI Signal Connector
The SCSI signal connector is a 50-pin connector.  Molex PN 70246
or equivalent, meeting ANSI/SCSI specifications.

SCSI Bus Terminators
The drive has no internal SCSI bus terminators.  The user is
responsible for properly terminating and powering the SCSI bus in
the system.

AMP PN 88-4163-081-1, DATAMATE DM500-06-8, or equivalent
external terminal may be used.

For a single-ended cable, a 50-conductor flat cable or a 25 twisted
pair cable can be used, with a maximum length of 6.0 meters and a
stub length not to exceed 0.1 meters.

This file has a maximum internal stub length of 0.072 meters on all
SCSI signals except -RST; the -RST signal has an internal stub length
of 0.096 meters.  To remain compliant with ANSI, the SCSI bus cable
must not add more than 0.028 meters additional stub length to all SCSI
signals except -RST, and no more than 0.004 meters additional stub
length to -RST.

SCSI Bus Electrical Characteristics
Note:  The drive incorporates the Western Digital WD33C93B SCSI
Interface Controller and conforms to the ANSI/SCSI Interface
standard.


ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
=============================

The Drive meets the following EMC requirements when installed in the
user system and exercised with a random accessing routine at
maximum data rate:
-  United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and
   Regulations.  Part 15, Subject J-Computer Devices "Class B Limits".
-  European Economic Community EEC directive #76/889 related to the
   control of radio frequency interference and the Verband Deutscher
   Elektrotechniker (VDE) requirements of Germany (COP).


START AND STOP TIMES
====================

Time            Nominal          Maximum
__________________________________________
Power Up        2.0 sec           2.4 sec
Start Unit     19.5 sec           1 min
Stop              9 sec          12.5 sec

During the start sequence diagnostics are performed and are
divided into two sections.  Power-up pre motor-start diagnostics
test the static RAM (control store memory), post motor-start
diagnostics test the data buffer, upload the code, perform channel
testing and 'Reassign in Progress' operations.  For more information
on diagnostics see the 0663 Disk Drive SCSI Specifications.

If a Reset is issued before the drive is ready, the power-on
sequence starts again.  Otherwise, when a Reset is issued the present
state of the motor is not altered.

A timeout of one minute or more is recommended for the Start Unit
command.  This allows the system to take advantage of the extended
ERP that the drive does in order to successfully start up.

Note:  It is the integrators' responsibility to ensure that
equipment into which this drive is fitted meets the relevant
regulatory requirements (EMC etc).

Figure 3 Temperature Measurement Points

Figure 3 defines where measurements should be made to determine
module and casting temperatures, top side and bottom side (the
difference between the two points is defined as the delta).  There must
be sufficient air flow through the drive so as not to exceed the casting
and module temperature limits.


EXTERNALLY GENERATED RIPPLE
===========================

as seen at file power connector
Voltage        Maximum             Notes
___________________________________________
+5 VDC      100mV peak-to-peak     0-10 MHz
+12 VDC     150mC peak-to-peak     0-10 MHz

During file start up and seeking, 12 volt ripple is generated by the
file (referred to as dynamic loading).  If several files have their
power daisy chained together then the power supply ripple plus other
file's dynamic loading must remain within the regulation tolerance
window of +/- 5%.  A common supply with separate power leads to each
file is a more desirable method of power distribution.

The file's mounting frame is electrically isolated from the file's
disk enclosure.  The disk enclosure is not at ground potential.
Therefore any user mounting scheme must not result in the disk
enclosure being shorted to ground.

To prevent external electrical noise form interfering with the
file's performance, the file's mounting frame may be electrically
isolated from the system mounting frame.  If isolation is not
practical then the file's mounting frame must be within + or -
150 millivolts of the file's power supply ground.  At no time should
more than 35 milliamps of current be injected into the file frame.
The frequency range that has been tested with this specification is
0 to 100 MHz.

Hot plug/unplug support
If there is a need to plug or unplug the file while the power
supply is active then the using system must assure that the ground
pin makes contact first.  This prevents a possible CMOS latch-up
condition.  During the hot "plug-in" event the 5 or 12 volt power
supply voltage must not go out of tolerance in the high voltage
direction.  During the not "unplug" event capacitors on the file will
prevent inductive flyback voltages from increasing to the point of
damage to the file.

If the SCSI bus is connected while it has power active on any of its
lines then a power or signal glitch may occur on the bus.  If any
other devices are sharing the bus than this glitch may cause them to
produce an error.


VIBRATION AND SHOCK
===================

Operating/Nonoperating Vibration
Due to the complexity of this subject we recommend that users contact
the Distributor to discuss how to perform the required measurements
if they believe this to be an area which requires evaluation.

Operating Shock
The drive continues to operate, at the stated performance, when
subjected to a 5 G half sine wave shock pulse of 11 milliseconds
duration.

No permanent damage will occur to the drive when subjected to a 10 G
half sine wave shock pulse of 11 milliseconds duration.

The shock pulses are applied in either direction in each of three
mutually perpendicular axes, one axis at a time.

Non-Operating Shock
No damage will occur if the unpackaged drive is not subjected to
a square wave shock greater than a value of 35 Gs applied to all of
the three axes for a period of 20 milliseconds, one direction at a
time.

WARNING:  This disk drive can be damaged by Electro-Static Discharge,
please follow recommended ESD procedures before unpacking or handling
the drive.  Ask your Dealer for detailed if you need assistance.

PACKAGING:  The drive must be protected against Electro-Static Discharge
especially when being handled.  The safest way to avoid damage is to put
the drive in an anti-static bag before ESD wrist straps etc are removed.

Drives should only be shipped in approved containers, severe damage can
be caused to the drive if the packaging does not adequately protect
against the shock levels induced when a box is dropped.  Consult the
dealer if you do not have an approved shipping container.
