When you change a jumper setting, the new setting is in effect when the drive is next powered on. Used in combination, the jumper setting accross pins A2, A1, and A0 determine the ProDrive ELS 42/85/127/170S hard disk drive's SCSI-bus device identification (SCSI ID). By default, Quantum configures the drive with a SCSI ID of six - that is, with jumpers installed across the pins labeld A2 and A1 and no jumper installed across the pins labeld A0.

To avoid stripping the mounting-hole threads, the maximum torque applied to the screws must not exceed 8 inch-pounds. Terminating Resistors --------------------- At the factory, Quantum installs two resistor networks in sockets on the drive PCBA to terminate the SCSI bus. Only the first device - usually the host - and the last device on a SCSI bus should contain terminating resistors. When installing the ProDrive ELS 42/85/127/ 170S hard disk drive in any other position on the SCSI bus, remove the terminating resistors. Clearance --------- The printed-circuit board assembly (PCBA) is very close to the mounting holes. Clearance from the drive to any other surface - except mounting surfaces - must be 3.5 millimeters (0.14 inches) minimum. The specified screw length allows full use of the mounting- hole threads, while avoiding damaging or placing unwanted stress on the PCBA. Caution: Using mounting screws that are no longer than the maximum lengths, voids the warranty on the ProDrive ELS 42/85/127/170S. Ventilation ----------- The ProDrive ELS 42/85/127/170S hard disk drive operates without a cooling fan, provided the ambient air temperature does not exceed 122*F (50*C). Cable Connector --------------- The ProDrive ELS 42/85/127/170S has a combination DC/SCSI cable connector. A key slot on the header prevents the incorrect installa- tion of the header connector on the SCSI cable. To prevent the header connector on the SCSI cable from beeing plugged in backwards, use only a keyed header connector. The drive's combination DC/SCSI connector part number is Dupont 90910-001,2 in 1 SMT. DC Power Connector 4-pin connector AMP P/N 1-480424-0 or equivalent Loose-piece contacts AMP P/N 61173-4 or equivalent Strip contacts AMP P/N 350078-4 or equivalent Power Sequencing ---------------- You can apply the power in any order or manner, or short or open either the power or power-return line with no loss of data or damage to the disk drive. However, data may be lost in the sector being written at the time of power loss. The drive can withstand transient voltages of +10% to -100% from nominal while powering up or down. Head/Disk Assembly ------------------ The head/disk assembly (HDA) contains the mechanical subassemblies of the drive, which are sealed under a metal cover. The HDA consists of the disk stack assembly, rotary positioner assembly, headstack assembly, actuator latch assembly, and base casting which includes the DC motor assembly. Assembly of the HDA takes place in a Class- 100 clean room. These subassemblies are not adjustable or field- repairable. Caution: To ensure that the air in the HDA remains free of contamina- tion, never remove or adjust its cover and seals. Tampering with the HDA voids your warranty. DC Motor Assembly ----------------- Integral with the base casting, the DC motor assembly is a rotating- shaft, brushless DC spindle motor that drives the counter-clockwise rotation of the disks. Disk Caching ------------ The ProDrive ELS 42/85/127/170S hard disk drive incorporates DisCache a 32K (8K for the 42S) disk cache, to enhance drive performance. This integrated feature can significantly improve system throughput. Read and write cahcing can be enabled or disabled using the MODE SELECT command.

Reliability ----------- Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF): 250,000 Power On Hours (POH), typical usage The Quantum MTBF numbers represent Bell-Core MTBF predictions at ambient operating conditions and represent the minimum MTBF that Quantum or a customer would expect from the drive. Quantum's ongoing reliability testing and field return data has historically confirmed an actual MTBF of twice the Bell-Core prediction. Preventive Maintenance (PM): Not required Mean Time To Repair (MTTR): 30 minutes Start/Stop: 40,000 cycles (minimum) Motor Clock ----------- The Motor Clock provides speed control for the hall-less Spindle Motor Driver. Error Detection and Correction ------------------------------ As disk drive areal densities increase, obtaining extremely low error rates requires a new generation of sophisticated error-correction codes. Quantum ProDrive ELS 42/85/127/170S series hard disk drives implement 112-bit single- and double-burst Reed-Solomon error- correction techniques to reduce the uncorrectable read error rate to less than one bit in 1 x 10(14) bits read. When errors occurs, an automatic retry and a more rigorous double- burst correction algorithm enable the correction of any sector with two bursts of three incorrect bytes each or up to six multiple random one-byte burst errors. In addition to these advanced error correction capabilities, the drive's additional cross-checking code and algorithm double checks the main ECC correction to greatly re- duce the probability of miscorrection. The drive's ECC can correct up to 48 bits of multiple random-burst errors, provided that the incorrect bytes follow the guidelines for correctablle double-errors. If more than two bytes in any one inter- leave are in error, the sector cannot be corrected. Defect Management ----------------- The ProDrive ELS 42/85/127/170S allocates one sector per cylinder as a spare. In the factory, the media is scanned for defects. If a sector on a cylinder is found to be defective, the address of the sector is added to the drive's defect list. Sectors located physically subsequent to the defective sector are assigned logical block addresses such that a sequential ordering of logical blocks results. This inline sparing technique is employed in an attempt to eliminate slow data transfer that would result from a single defect- ive sector on a cylinder. If more than one sector is found defective on a cylinder, the inline sparing technique is applied only to the first sector. The remaining defective sectors are replaced with the nearest available spare sectors on nearby cylinders. Such an assignment of additional replacement sectors from nearby sectors rather than having a central pool of spare sectors is an attempt to minimize the motion of the actuator and head that otherwise would be needed to find a replace- ment sector. The result is minimal reduction of data throughput.
