Connector




There is a choice of 2 power connections to this drive. One DC power connector is designed to
mate with AMP PN 1-480424 (using AMP pins PN 350078-4). The other (3 pin) DC power
connector is designed to mate with MOLEX 5480-03 (using MOLEX pins 5479). Equivalent

connectors may be used. Pin assignments are shown below, as viewed from the end of the drive.



AT Signal Connector




The drive uses single-ended drivers and receivers. The connector is designed to mate with 3M
PN 3417-7000 or equivalent.
Note:
It is intended that the hard disk drive should only be in electrical contact with the chassis of the
PC at a designated set of mounting holes. Other electrical contact may degrade error rate
performance. As a result of this it is recommended that there should be no metal contact to the
hard disk drive except at the mounting holes or the side rails into which the mounting holes are
tapped.

Jumpers may be fitted to select the following options:
Pin Numbers
MASTER active 1-2
SLAVE active 3-4
Cable set 5-6
Write cache 9-10 (Disabled with jumper)
Auto reallocation 11-12 (Disabled with jumper)


Auto Reallocation Jumper
Auto reallocation jumper is checked during the initial power on reset (POR) check. Write cache
is disabled when a jumper it fitted. (+) Auto reallocations jumper position needs to be OPEN
when a user system wants to use write cache.
Note:
Auto reallocation only operates, and is mandatory, during write cache operations. Disabling
either function by jumper disables both.
Write Cache Jumper
Write cache jumper is checked during the initial POR check. Write cache is disabled when a
jumper is fitted.

Shipping Default Settings
MASTER is set to on (ie, jumper on pins 1-2).
No other jumpers are fitted.
Note:
The jumper positions JP1, JP2, JP3 must not be selected concurrently.

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 your IBM marketing representative if you do not have an approved shipping
container.

Note:
The system is responsible to provide sufficient air movement to maintain surface temperature

Operating Shock
The hard disk drive meets the following criteria while operating in respective conditions described
below. The shock test consists of ten shocks inputs in each axis and direction for total of 60.
There must be a delay between shock pulses, long enough to allow the drive to complete all
necessary error recovery procedure.
No errors
5 G, 11 ms half-sine shock pulse
No data loss, seek errors or permanent damage
10 G, 11 ms half-sine shock pulse
No data loss or permanent damage

Operating Vibration
Due to the complexity of this subject we recommend that users contact the IBM technical support
group representative to discuss how to perform the necessary measurements if they believe this to
be a area which requires evaluation.

DC Power Requirement Limits
The following voltage specifications apply at the file power connector. Damage to the file
electronics may result if the power supply cable is connected or disconnected while power is being
applied to the file (No hot plug/unplug is allowed). There are inductive loads in the file which
could cause destructively high voltage spikes on the file if the power connection is opened. There
is no special power on/off sequencing required.

Voltages +5 Volts +12 Volts
Maximum Ripple

Power Supply
Current (Amps) +5 Volts +12 Volts
Start peak 0.5 1.10
Idle average 0.19 0.14
R/W average 0.32 0.14
During the 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 of +10/-8%. A
common supply with separate power leads to each file is a more desirable method of power
distribution.
To prevent external electrical noise from interfering with the file's performance, the file must be
held by four screws in a user system frame which has no electrical level deference at the four
screws position, and has less than + or - 300 millivolts peak to peak level deference to the file
power connector ground.

Note:
"O" designates an output from the Drive.
"I" designates an input to the Drive.
"I/O" designates an input/output common.
Cabling
The maximum cable length form the Host system to the drive, plus the circuit pattern length inside
the Host systems, must not exceed 18 inches (45.7 cm).
Interface
This data sheet describes some aspects of the host interface to ATA drives. The interface
conforms to the CAM draft proposal for an ATA attachment with certain limitations described
below.
Automatic Power Down Sequence
A hard reset will disable the automatic power down sequence.
Format Track
A drive will not perform a physical format. Instead it will simply write a data pattern of all zeros
to the sectors which have been specified by the Format Track command. LBA mode for format
track is not supported.
Format Track Interleave Factor
The drive only supports an interleave factor of 1:1, and may ignore any other specified interleave,
without returning an error.
Write long
Write long command should be executed for the same sector after Read long command execution.
Otherwise, unexpected ECC correctable error may occur. Because of the limitation of the
emulation technique to support 4 byte ECC mode which is implemented in the drive.
Seek Overlap
The drive will wait for the seek to complete before interrupting the host. Therefore, no seek
overlap can occur. This will be transparent to the host except that performance may be degraded
in certain environments where the host could perform other work while waiting for seek
complete, such a multi-tasking operating systems.
Sleep mode
During Sleep mode the drive will be activated by an command, including, but not limited to, a soft
reset.
Drive/Head Register
Bits 5 and 7 of Drive/Head Register are not written to 0. (These 2 bits are always read as "I"
even after host writes to "0"...).
The following Commands are supported by the drive:
Commands (Hex)
Check Power Mode (E5)
