High temperature
To prevent injury, never touch the HDD while it is hot. The DE and LSI
become hot during operation and remain hot immediately after turning off
the power.
53, 62, 67
Damage
1. When dismounting the HDD which is mounted on the system while
power is supplied to it.
1) Stop the spindle motor by a START/STOP UNIT command. It takes
about 15 seconds for the spindle motor to stop completely.
2) Then, dismount the HDD using the HDD mounting/dismounting
mechanism, etc. of the system. When removing the HDD, avoid
exposing it to shock or vibration. Just in case, stop dismounting once
when SAS connector breaks off contact and wait unitil the spindle
motor stops (about 15 seconds.).
2. When dismounting the HDD which is mounted on the system while
power is not supplied to it.
Dismount the HDD using the HDD mounting/dismounting
mechanism, etc. of the system. When removing the HDD, avoid
exposing it to shock or vibration.

CHAPTER 1 General Description
1.1 Standard Features
1.2 Hardware Structure
1.3 System Configuration
This chapter describes the feature and configuration of the hard disk drives (HDDs).
The HDDs are high performance large capacity 2.5-inch hard disk drives with an embedded Serial Attached
SCSI (SAS) controller.
The interface used to connect the HDDs to the host system complies with ANSI T10/1601-D Serial Attached
SCSI-1.1 (SAS-1.1), which covers items ranging from SAS physical layers to SCSI command protocols.
The high-speed data transfer and long-distance transmission capabilities of SAS technology and the powerful
command set the HDDs facilitate creation of high-performance and highly reliable disk subsystems with large
storage capacities.
1.1 Standard Features
(1) Compactness
The HDDs are a compact enclosure which complies with the 2.5-inch hard disk drive form factor.
(2) Environmental Protection
The HDDs comply with the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and
electronic equipment (RoHS) directive issued by European Union (EU).
(3) SAS Standard
The HDDs are equipped with a serial attached SCSI (SAS) as a host interface.
Transfer rate: 1.5Gbps, 3.0Gbps
Number of SAS ports: Two
Full-duplex (simultaneous bidirectional data transfer) is supported.
C141-E257 13
General Description
(4) Dual SAS port support
The HDDs have two pairs of driver and receiver set (PHY) for the SAS to support dual SAS port
connection.
On HDDs, Primary and Secondary Ports on SAS plug connector (2 physical links plus power
connections) are used for SAS port connection.
(5) High-speed data transfer
The maximum data-transfer speed on the SAS is 300.0 MB/s. The large-capacity data buffer of the
HDDs enable the effective use of such high-speed data transfers available on the SAS connection.
(6) Continuous block processing
The addressing method of data blocks is logical block address. The initiator can access data by
specifying block number in a logically continuous data space without concerning the physical
structure of the track or cylinder boundaries.
The continuous processing up to [64K-1] blocks in a command can be achieved, and the HDDs can
perform continuous read/write operation when processing data blocks on several tracks or cylinder.
(7) Multi-segment data buffer
The data buffer is 16M bytes. Data is transferred between SAS port and disk media through this data
buffer. This feature provides the suitable usage environment for users.
(8) Cache feature
After executing the READ command, the HDDs read automatically and store (prefetches) the
subsequent data blocks into the data buffer (Read-ahead caching).
The high speed sequential data access can be achieved by transferring the data from the data buffer without
reaccessing the disk in case the subsequent command requests the prefetched data blocks.
The Write Cache feature is supported. When this feature is enabled, the status report is issued
without waiting for completion of write processing to disk media, thereby enabling high speed write
processing.
When Write Cache is enabled, you should ensure that the cached data is
surely flushed to the disk media before you turn off the HDDs power.
To ensure it, you should issue either the SYNCHRONIZE CACHE
command or the STOP UNIT command with specifying “0” to the
Immediate bit, and then confirm that the command is surely terminated
with the GOOD STATUS.
14 C141-E257
1.1 Standard Features
(9) Command queuing feature
The HDDs can queue maximum 128 commands, and optimizes the issuing order of queued
commands by the reordering function. This feature realizes the high speed processing.
(10) Reserve and release functions
The HDDs can be accessed exclusively in the multi-host or multi-initiator environment by using the
reserve and release functions.
(11) Error recovery
The HDDs can try to recover from errors in the HDD using its powerful retry processing. If a
recoverable data check occurs, error-free data can be transferred to the initiator after being corrected
in the data buffer. The initiator software is released from the complicated error recover processing
by these error recovery functions of the HDDs.
(12) Automatic alternate block reassignment
If a defective data block is detected during read or write the HDDs can automatically reassign its
alternate data block.
(13) Programmable data block length
Data can be accessed in fixed-block length units. The data block length is programmable, and can be
specified at initializing with a multiple of four within the range of 512 to 528 bytes.
Error rate increase
1. The HDD format at factory shipment is generally 512 bytes.
2. The recoverable Error of the HDD might increase when the format would
be modified from 512 bytes to the following values:
516 bytes, 520 bytes, 524 bytes, 528 bytes.
3. The recoverable Error referred here is sense data (1-13-xx).
(14) Defective block slipping
A logical data block can be reallocated in a physical sequence by slipping the defective data block at
formatting. This results in high speed contiguous data block processing without a revolution delay
due to defective data block.
(15) High speed positioning
A rotary voice coil motor achieves fast positioning with high performance access control.
C141-E257 15
General Description
(16) Large capacity
A large capacity can be obtained from the HDDs by dividing all cylinders into several partitions and
changing the recording density on each partition (constant density recording). The disk subsystem
with large capacity can be constructed in the good space efficiency.
(17) Start/Stop of spindle motor
Using the SAS primitive or the SCSI command, the host system can start and stop the spindle motor.
(18) Diagnosis
The HDDs have a diagnostic capability which checks internal controller functions and HDD
operations. Also, for early detection of and recovery from the errors on the disk, the HDD has a
function for periodically implementing a full scan of the disk.
(19) Low power consumption
By using highly integrated LSI components, the power consumption of the HDDs is very low, and
this enables the unit to be used in wide range of environmental conditions.
(20) Low acoustic noise
The acoustic noise level is low; approx. 2.9 Bels at Idle. This makes it ideal for office use.
(21) Microcode downloading
The HDDs implement the microcode download feature. This feature easily achieves maintenance
and function enhancement of the HDDs.
