Maxtor Atlas 10K V 5-3 1. Relative Addressing is not supported by the drive. Therefore, in all I/O commands, the RelAdr bit must be 0. 2. RESERVE and RELEASE are supported, as are third-party reservations.
5-4 Maxtor Atlas 10K V 5.2 Command Descriptor Block An initiator communicates wi th the drive by sending a 6-, 10-, or 12-byte Command Descriptor Block (CDB ) that contains the parameters for the specific command. The SCSI command's operation code is always the first b yte in the CDB and a control field is the last byte.

Maxtor Atlas 10K V 6-1 Chapter 6 FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS This chapter provides descript ions of many of the features incorporated in the Maxtor Atlas 10K V hard disk drive family. 6.1 KEY FEATURES Maxtor Atlas 10K V disk drives provide une qualed quality and pe rformance .
6-2 Maxtor Atlas 10K V •M a x A d p a t F e a t u r e S e t - Rotational Vibration Co mpensation (RVC) - Adaptive Bias Estimation ( ABE) - Virtual Cache Line (VCL) - Adaptive Active Filtration (AAF).
Maxtor Atlas 10K V 6-3 6.3 ZERO LATENCY READ/WRITE An average of half a revolution of laten cy is s aved by starting to read or write as soon as a seek settles on the designated track. If reading, the init ial data read is stored in a buffer (cache) until th e actual starting address data block is reached and read.
6-4 Maxtor Atlas 10K V digital address data. The digit al port ions of the spoke data are read and used to locate the desired track , spoke, and head number. The quadrature an alog signal portion is detected and used by a servo feedback cont rol loop to precisely position the head on the track center.
Maxtor Atlas 10K V 6-5 information about the realloc ation (such as th e new destination and the data in transit) is recorded. If the realloca tion is interrupted, the proces s can automatically continue from the last checkp oint without data loss.
6-6 Maxtor Atlas 10K V 6.12 DIAGNOSTICS The drive has extensive diagnostic capabilities, including those described below: power-on self-test, periodic self-adjustments , and host diagnostics. Maxtor uses self- diagnostic tests and sense da ta tracking to manage drive errors, in addition to logical block address (LBA) revectoring.
Maxtor Atlas 10K V 6-7 6.12.3 Host Diagnostics The Host Processor can comm and the drive to pe rform diagnostic tests and repo rt status using RECEIVE and SEND DIAG NOSTIC RESULTS commands. Certain parameters can be sent to the drive to alter or enhance the performance of the diagnost ic tests specified.
6-8 Maxtor Atlas 10K V allocated at the end of each band, and are reserved for gr own, revectored blocks. All grown defects are reallocated to one o f the spare blocks, using a “nearest neighbor” algorithm.
Maxtor Atlas 10K V 6-9 6.14.1 DIFFSENS The DIFFSENS signal in the SCSI bus defines the current oper ating mode of the SCSI bus. A level below +.5 volts defines a single-ended bus. A level between +.7 and +1.9 volts defines an LVD bus. A leve l above +2.
6-10 Maxtor Atlas 10K V 6.14.3 DT AND ST CLOCKING With Ultra160 and Ulra320 SCSI interfaces, Maxtor has introduced a new method of clocking data on the SCSI bus. This met hod, called Double Transition (DT) clocking, uses both the ris ing and falli ng edges of the REQ and ACK signals to clock data into the receiving device.
Maxtor Atlas 10K V 6-11 6.14.4 CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECKING When transferring data with DT clocking on the SCSI bus, a significantly improved form of error checking, cyclic redundancy checking (CRC) is us ed instead of the traditional parity checking.
6-12 Maxtor Atlas 10K V 6.14.7 Transmitter Pre-Compensation with Cutback This is an open-lo op method of compensating for some of the signal loss that is most severe on the first part of a signal’s tran sition. 6.14.8 Free Running Clock (FRC) FRC is used to improve integrity of the clock signal by removing inter-symbo l interference (ISI).
Maxtor Atlas 10K V 6-13 6.15.1 System Considerations It is not possible for the suppliers of variou s system components (e.g ., targets, initiators, backplanes, terminators) to gu arantee th at a system can op erate under “Hot Swap Case 4" conditions.
