Scope
This chapter describes the overall features and specifications of the VL2-350-SC-DS .
Features
The VL2-350-SC-DS incorporates one or two very compact winchester disk drives within a single module. The hard
disk drive(s) is a high-performance winchester type with embedded disk drive control electronics. This microprocessor
controlled embedded controller is on the hard disk and is compatible with ANSI X3.131-1986 SCSI commands. The
hard drive is a very high performer, with a 1-to-1 interleave and an average track-to-track access times of 10 millisec-
onds or less. It incorporates an embedded at least 8 megabytes of cache buffer which is operated in “look ahead”
mode, providing buffering for sequential sector operations. The hard drive(s) has been carefully packaged with suitable
control cables and power distribution connectors for direct attachment to single board computers in the VME chassis or
to external devices.
Ultra 320 SCSI Interface Description
In order to provide a method of embedding the disk drive control electronics within the hard disk drive, several disk
drive manufacturers jointly defined an interface specification. This specification for the Small Computer System Inter-
face has become known throughout the industry as “SCSI”. Basically, the SCSI interface consists of the required
address, data and control signals from a wide SCSI Host Adapter. Since a goal of the specification is to allow the disk
drive to be connected via standard cable, the specification required buffering of all signals so that the drive could be
mounted a suitable distance from the board interface. This distance, however, is limited to twelve meters. The specifi-
cation provides all signals via a 68-pin header connector for use with standard 68 conductor ribbon cable and connec-
tors. Table 2-2 is a description of the Ultra320 SCSI pin definitions. The direction indicated is relative to the host.
