ASA II download code thermal calibration (TCAL)
1. All heads are thermally calibrated at power-up and following SCSI resets
before any read or write commands are processed. All heads are also
thermally calibrated during the SCSI Rezero Unit command.
2. The drive then delays a fixed period of time (D) before initiating any further
thermal calibrations. This delay provides a guaranteed time interval when
no thermal calibration interruptions will occur.
3. A single-head TCAL is scheduled to occur every N1 seconds where:
N1 = (T – D)/(2 • H)
T = Maximum allowable thermal calibration period for any single
head (600 seconds)
D = Time delay after the power-up/reset calibration before initiating
subsequent thermal calibrations (300 seconds)
H = Number of heads in the drive (see Section 5.1 “Internal drive
characteristics”).
4. After the drive has cycled once through all the heads (H) at the N1 time
interval, single-head TCAL scheduling switches to a N2 time interval
where: N2 = T/(2 • H).
5. When a single-head TCAL is scheduled, the drive attempts to find an idle
period of 25 to 50 milliseconds prior to performing the TCAL. If the TCAL
has still not been performed after another N1 or N2 seconds (whichever
is the current time interval) the drive forces a TCAL to occur at the next
command boundary (even during a read look ahead sequence), and
immediately resets the N1 or N2 timer. This guarantees that no head will
remain uncalibrated for more than T (600) seconds and that no TCALs will
occur closer together in time than approximately N1 or N2 seconds.
6. TCALs performed during the “standard” retry sequence are limited to the
failing head, and will be disabled if the host selects a retry count of zero.
Refer to Section 11.11 and to the
SCSI-2 Interface Product Manual (part
number 77738479) for additional timing details.
