The Auxiliary Diagnostic Port (ADP), located on the rear panel of each drive, can be used to download
updates to the drive firmware in the field. Refer to the LD 6100/LF 6600/LF 6602 Product Specification
(P/N 97653977) for more information.
Each LF 6602 drive supports a sustained read transfer rate of 2.7 MBytes/sec with error correction and
defect management capabilities to maintain data integrity and manage media flaws. Each LF 6600
implements the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) via standard SCSI-2 micro-connectors located
on the rear panels. Single-ended and differential interface options are available, and the interface can be
changed in the field. Both the single-ended and differential controllers support asynchronous or
synchronous data transfer operations.
Preventive maintenance for the LF 6602 is minimal (refer to the Operator Maintenance section). Corrective
maintenance is simplified by internal diagnostic firmware which detects, isolates, and reports malfunctions
to the operator and identifies the faulty Field Replaceable Unit (FRU).
LM 6000 media is interchangeable between the LF 6602, LF 6600 and the LD 6100. The 6000 series of
drives will also read LM 4000 media written by the Plasmon LMS 4000 series of optical drive products
(except for media with serial numbers less than X0010000, where X designates an A or B).
