Data and Power Connections
The drive has a single 40-pin data connector, as well as an auxiliary connector
which is reserved for factory or evaluation use. Power to the drive is provided
through a standard 4-pin connector.
The drive also has a jumper block which can be set to specify drive operational
parameters. For more information on the drive’s connectors and on setting
jumpers, refer to chapters 3 and 4.
Electrical Design Features
Pre-amplifier
A single integrated circuit (IC) is mounted within the head disk assembly, in
close proximity to the read/write heads. The IC provides head selection, read
pre-amplification, and write drive circuitry.
Circuit Board
The drive’s microprocessor-controlled circuit board provides the remaining
electronic functions, which include:
•
read/write circuitry
•
rotary actuator control
•
interface control
•
spin speed control
•
auto-park
•
power management
Firmware
The drive’s firmware includes a command set which the host uses to control the
drive. The command set allows the host to request the following types of
actions:
•
report drive status
•
seek a specific point on the disk
•
read and write data
For more information on the drive’s command set, refer to chapters 6 and 7.
