PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2 – 1 SECTION 2 Product Description Maxtor DiamondMax ® 60 AT disk drives are 1-inch high, 3.5-inch diameter random access storage devices which incorporate an on-board ATA-5/Ultra DMA 100 controller.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2 – 2 Product Features Functional / Interface Maxtor DiamondMax 60 hard drives contain all necessary mechanical and electronic parts to interpret control signals and commands from an AT-compatible host computer. See Section 3 Product Specifications, for complete drive specifications.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2 – 3 The LBA is checked for violating the drive capacity. If it does not, the LBA is converted to physical drive cylinder, head and sector values. The physical address is then used to access or store the data on the disk and for other drive related operations.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2 – 4 Major HDA Components Drive Mechanism A brush-less DC direct drive motor rotates the spindle at 5,400 RPM (±0.1%). The dynamically balanced motor/spindle assembly ensures minimal mechanical run-out to the disks. A dynamic brake provides a fast stop to the spindle motor upon power removal.

HOST SOFTWARE INTERFACE 6 – 1 SECTION 6 Host Software Interface The host communicates with the drive through a set of controller registers accessed via the host’s I/O ports. These registers divide into two groups: the Task File, used for passing commands and command parameters and the Control/Diagnostic registers.
HOST SOFTWARE INTERFACE 6 – 2 Sector Count Register Holds the number of sectors to be sent during a Read or Write command, and the number of sectors per track during a Format command. A value of zero in this register implies a transfer of 256 sectors.
HOST SOFTWARE INTERFACE 6 – 3 Command Register Contains code for the command to be performed. Additional command information should be written to the task file before the Command register is loaded. When this register is written, the BUSY bit in the Status register sets, and interrupt request to the host clears; invalid commands abort.
HOST SOFTWARE INTERFACE 6 – 4 COMMAND NAME COMMAND CODE PARAMETERS USED b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1 b0 F SC SN C SDH Recalibrate 0 0 0 1 xxxx N N N N D Read Sector(s) 0 0 1 0 0 0 L x N Y Y Y Y Read DMA 1 1.
HOST SOFTWARE INTERFACE 6 – 5 Control Diagnostic Registers These I/O port addresses reference three Control/Diagnostic registers: I/O PORT READ WRITE 3F6h Alternate Status Fixed Disk Control 3F7h Digital Input Not used Alternate Status Register Contains the same information as the Status register in the Task File.
HOST SOFTWARE INTERFACE 6 – 6 Reset and Interrupt Handling Reset Handling One of three different conditions may cause a reset: power on, hardware reset or software reset. All three cause the interface processor to initialize itself and the Task File registers of the interface.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 1 SECTION 7 Interface Commands The following section describes the commands (and any parameters necessary to execute them), as well as Status and Error register bits affected.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 2 Read Commands Read Sector(s) Reads from 1 to 256 sectors, as specified in the Command Block, beginning at the specified sector. (A sector count of 0 requests 256 sectors.) Immediately after the Command register is written, the drive sets the BSY bit and begins execution of the command.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 3 Read DMA Multi-word DMA Identical to the Read Sector(s) command, except that 1. The host initializes a slave-DMA channel prior to issuing the command, 2. Data transfers are qualified by DMARQ and are performed by the slave-DMA channel and 3.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 4 Set Multiple Mode Enables the controller to perform Read and Write Multiple operations, and establishes the block count for these commands. Before issuing this command, the Sector Count register should be loaded with the number of sectors per block.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 5 Write Multiple Performs similarly to the Write Sector(s) command, except that: 1. The controller sets BSY immediately upon receipt of the command, 2. Data transfers are multiple sector blocks and 3. The Long bit and Retry bit is not valid.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 6 Mode Set/Check Commands Set Features Mode Enables or disables features supported by the drive. When the drive receives this command it: 1. Sets BSY, 2. Checks the contents of the Features register, 3. Clears BSY and 4. Generates an interrupt.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 7 Read Native Max Address This command returns the native maximum address. The native maximum address is the highest address accepted by the drive in the factory default condition. The native maximum address is the maximum address that is valid when using the SET MAX ADDRESS command.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 8 Power Mode Commands Standby Immediate – 94h/E0h Spin down and do not change time out value. This command will spin the drive down and cause the drive to enter the STANDBY MODE immediately. If the drive is already spun down, the spin down sequence is not executed.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 9 Default Power-on Condition The drive’s default power on condition is the ACTIVE MODE. Upon receiving a Power Mode command, except the SLEEP MODE command, the drive sets BSY and performs the requested power operation.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 10 Initialization Commands Identify Drive Allows the host to receive parameter information from the drive. When the command is received, the drive: 1. Sets BSY, 2. Stores the required parameter information in the sector buffer, 3.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 11 -WORD CONTENT DESCRIPTION 50 Reserved 51 - 52 Obsolete 53 15 -3 = reserved 2, 1 = the fields supported in words 88 are valid, 0 = the fields supported in words 88 are not v.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 12 WORD CONTENT DESCRIPTION 83 Command sets supported. If words 82 and 83 = 0000h or FFFFh command set notification not supported. 15-10, as currently defined 9, 1 = Automatic Acoustic Management feature set supported 8-0, as currently defined 84 Command set extensions supported.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 13 Initialize Drive Parameters Enables the drive to operate as any logical drive type. The drive will always be in the translate mode because of Zone Density Recording, which varies the number of sectors per track depending on the zone.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 14 Seek, Format and Diagnostic Commands Seek Initiates a seek to the track, and selects the head specified in the Command block. 1. Sets BSY in the Status register, 2. Initiates the Seek, 3. Resets BSY and 4. Generates an interrupt.
INTERFACE COMMANDS 7 – 15 S.M.A.R.T. Command Set Execute S.M.A.R.T. The Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) command has been implemented to improve the data integrity and data availability of hard disk drives. In some cases, a S.

GLOSSARY GL – 1 GLOSSAR Y Glossary A ACCESS To obtain data from, or place data into, RAM, a register, or data storage device. ACCESS TIME The interval between the issuing of an access command and the instant that the target data may be read or written.
GLOSSARY GL – 2 CONTROLLER A miniature CPU dedicated to controlling a peripheral device, such as a disk drive, tape drive, video display terminal, or printer. The controller executes commands from the central processing unit and reissues commands to the peripheral device.
GLOSSARY GL – 3 EXTRA PULSE Term used in surface certification. It is when a flux field discontinuity remains after the recording surface is erased, thereby producing an electrical output of a read head passing over the area with the discontinuity. An extra pulse occurs when the electrical output is larger than a specified threshold.
GLOSSARY GL – 4 L LANDING ZONE OR LZONE The cylinder number to where ParkHeads move the read/write heads. LATE BIT A bit that is in the late half of the data window. LATE WINDOW A data window that has been shifted in a late direction to facilitate data recovery.
GLOSSARY GL – 5 PHASE MARGIN Measure in degrees of the amount of difference between excursions from the window center where flux reversals can occur and the edge of the data window. Similar to window margin. PHYSICAL SECTOR The smallest grouping of data on the hard disk; always 512 bytes.
GLOSSARY GL – 6 SOFT ERROR A data error which can be overcome by rereading the data or repositioning the head. SOFT SECTORED A technique where the controller determines the beginning of a sector by the reading of format information from the disk.
