Actuator Exerciser Modes ------------------------ The microprocessor performs "wake up" diagnostics upon application of power. If an error is detected, the processor will flash a warning by blinking the Activity LED. Some errors are fatal that they do not return to the program until power is cycled. If no errors are detected, the processor tests the shunt block to determine the state of SW2, SW3, and SW4 (Drive Exercise Options).

UNACCEPTABLE! Recommended Mounting Configuration ---------------------------------- The MiniScribe 3425/3212P half height drive is designed to be used in applications where the unit may experience shock and vibrations at greater levels than larger and heavier disk drives. Two features which allow greater shock tolerances are the use of rugged media and shock mounts. To take full advantage of the shock mounts, however, it is necessary to provide a 0.1 inch clearance on both the top and bottom of the drive. This clearance allows for move- ment of the drive during acceleration. This implies that if the drive is mounted by the bottom mounting holes on a flat surface, stands-off are needed under the mounting holes. No special considerations are required if the drive is mounted using the side mounts except for the clearance on top and bottom. The drive may be mounted in any attitude except upside down. The drive is mounted using 6-32 UNC screws, 1/4 inch maximum penetration. The customer should allow adequate ventilation to the drive to insure reliable drive operation over the operating temperature range. Screws: 6-32 UNC Mechanically Isolated Mounting Points ------------------------------------- Four side mounting and four base mounting points are provided to the customer. Each mounting point is mechanically isolated from the drive. Additionally, four side mounting points are provided that are compatible with a half height floppy disk drive. Cabling ------- Connect interface cables with connectors P1, P2, P3, and P4 to J1, J2, J3, and J4 respectively. Insure that connectors P1 and P2 have keys installed. If multiple drives are be interconnected, remove the terminator packs in all but the last drive in the daisy chain. Magnetic Field -------------- The externally induced magnetic flux density may not exceed 3 Gauss as measured at the disk surface. Drive Mechanism --------------- A brushless DC direct drive motor rotates the spindle at 3600 rpm. The motor/spindle assembly is dynamically balanced to provide minimal mechanical runout to the disks. A dynamic brake is used to provide a fast stop to the spindle motor when power is removed. Air Filtration System --------------------- Within the sealed enclosure, a 0.3 micron filter coupled with a breather filter provides over the drive life a clean environment to the heads and disks. Head Positioning Mechanism -------------------------- Two or four read/write heads are supported by a carriage mechaism coupled to the stepper motor through a rack-and-pinion motion translator. The rack-and-pinion translator allows for the increased number of data tracks while retaining the full step holding torque and positioning repeatability characteristics of the stepper motor. Power Sequencing ---------------- +5 volts DC and +12 volts DC may be applied in any order. +12 VDC powers the spindle drive motor. The microprocessor verifies that the disks are spinning at 3600 rpm and then activates the automatic Track Zero positioning. -TRACK ZERO, -SEEK COMPLETE, and -READY will beome true upon completion of the Track Zero positioning sequence. Electrical Interface -------------------- The interface to the MiniScribe 3425/3212P can be divided into three categories, each of which are physically separated: Comtrol Signals, Data Signals and DC Power. All Control Signals are digital in nature (open collector TTL) and either provide signals to the drive (input) or signals to the controller (output). The Data Signals are differential in nature and provide data either to (write) or from (read) the drive. The interconnect cable between the drive and controller may be flat ribbon or twisted pairs of a length not to exceed 20 feet. The signal return lines and ground lines for P1 and P2 should be grounded at the controller. The voltage return lines of P3 should only be grounded at the power supply. Connector P4 is a spade lug connector tied to frame ground.

Caution/Warning --------------- The Miniscribe drive is a precision product weighing 3.5 pounds. During handling the unit must not be dropped, jarred or bumped. Otherwise, damage to the heads and disks may occur. When the drive is removed from the Miniscribe shipping container and not immediately secured within a chassis through its shock mounts, it must be stored on a soft padded surface. Failure to comply with the above procedure will render null and void all warranties. ********************************************************************** F E A T U R E S ********************************************************************** MINISC. 3425/3212PLUS PRODUCT MANUAL P/N 1008 REV. H, MAY 6, 1987 Introduction ------------ The MiniScribe 3425/3212P is a half-height random access 5-1/4 inch rigid media disk drive employing Winchester technology. The drive utilizes a rack-and-pinion actuator, microprocessor control, and open loop stepper head positioning. The Model 3425/3212P features power up diagnostics, buffered seek and 5 Megabit/Sec. transfer rate. D.C. voltages and physical form factor are the same as the 5-1/4 inch half height floppy disk drive. Seek Time (including settling time) ----------------------------------- +----------------------------------+--------+ |Track-to-Track msec. typ. | 15 | +----------------------------------+--------+ |Average msec. typ. | 85 | | msec. max. | 190 | +----------------------------------+--------+ |Latency msec. avg. | 8.33 | +----------------------------------+--------+ Track Zero Detector ------------------- The Track Zero Detector resides on the stepper motor. This optical sensor consists of a light source (activated only when a seek is initiated) and a receiver which when blocked by an interrupter on the motor shaft indicates one of several logical Track Zero positions. The microprocessor determines the physical location of Track Zero from the redundant logical Track Zeros. Media Defect Criteria (as shipped from MiniScribe) -------------------------------------------------- Model 3425 30 defects maximum per drive 10 defects maximum per surface Model 3212P 20 defects maximum per drive Defects < 2 bytes in length Defects may be continguous Cylinder Zero Defect Free for both models. Error Messages -------------- The microprocessor performs wake up diagnostics on power up. Additionally, some operations are monitored during normal operations. If an error is detected, the microprocessor will flash a warning by blinking the activity LED. Error codes may be generated by the microprocessor to indicate hard- ware failures or warnings that are detected during power-on diagnostics, burn-in mode, or normal operation. Error codes are diaplayed in a "morse-code" type manner. Bits may be interpreted and converted into hexadecimal error codes. "Zeros" are indicated by a short (1/2 second) flashingn mode. "Ones" are indicated by a short (1/2 second) continuous ON mode. Error "Words" are separated by a one second LED off time. Zero = 0.5 second flashing mode One = 0.5 second continuous ON mode Between Bits = 0.5 second Off Between Repeat Cycles = 1.0 second Off Listed Below are the binary to hexadecimal conversion values: 0 = 0000 4 = 0100 8 = 1000 C = 1100 1 = 0001 5 = 0101 9 = 1001 D = 1101 2 = 0010 6 = 0110 A = 1010 E = 1110 3 = 0011 7 = 0111 B = 1011 F = 1111 Message Definitions ------------------- Code 0 - Microprocessor RAM error Code 1 - Microprocessor ROM checksum error Code 2 - Interface chip diagnostic failure Code 3 - Write Fault latch will not reset Code 4 - Index pulse not detected during spinup Code 5 - Unable to reach 3600 rpm in 30 seconds Code 6 - Unable to stabilize spin speed in 10 seconds Code 7 - Unable to maintain spin speed to 0.5% Code 8 - Unable to uncover Track Zero sensor Code 9 - Unable to cover Track Zero sensor Code A - Track Zero interrupter misadjusted Code B - Shipping zone error, crash stop misadjusted Code C - Carriage stuck during recal error Code D - Seek errror during burn-in or recal Code E - Unused Code F - Unexpected interrupt from processor
