SCSI seek performance characteristics
This section first describes the thermal calibration algorithms used by ASA
I and ASA II download code. Section 5.2.1 provides actual seek times and
section 5.2.2 provides drive format execution times.
Refer to Table 22 in Section 11.10 and to the
SCSI-2 Interface Product
Manual (part number 77738479) for additional timing details.
ASA I thermal calibration
All performance characteristics assume that automatic adaptive thermal
compensation is not in process when the drive receives the SCSI command.
Automatic adaptive thermal compensation will not interrupt an active SCSI
command. If adaptive thermal compensation is in process when a SCSI
command is received, the command is queued until compensation com-
pletes. When compensation completes for the head, the first queued SCSI
command executes, and the drive continues compensation for the remaining
heads.
The above procedure continues until compensation for all heads has
completed, or until 10 minutes have elapsed. The drive initiates an automatic
adaptive thermal compensation cycle once on power-up before completing
its initialization sequence, once after 1 minute from the end of initialization,
and then once approximately every 10 minutes. Automatic thermal com-
pensation occurs at other times but should be transparent to the user (e.g.,
