(2) CLOSED Enables the Motor Start Option. In this mode of
operation the drive will wait for a Start Unit Command
from the Host before starting the Motor.
OPEN see Note (6) below for description of delayed motor
start feature.
(3) CLOSED Parity checking by the WREN 8 is enabled.
(4) If the unit is not be terminated, remove terminator resistor
module SIPs. TP Jumper in left vertical position means
terminator power (+5V) is from WREN 8 power connector. Jumper
in horizontal position means terminator power is taken from
interface cable. Jumper in right TP position means +5V is
supplied to the interface cable pin 26. Jumpers can be in both
vertical positions at same time. If the drive is not terminated,
the TP jumper need not be installed.
(6) Jumper on enables delayed motor start (Motor Start jumper (2)
must be off). Motor start up is delayed 16 times drive ID number
in seconds; i.e., Drive 0 starts immediately, Drive 1 starts 16
seconds later, Drive 2 starts 16 seconds after Drive 1, etc.
(7) CLOSED Configures the drive for non-synchronized Spindle
option. A four pin connector plugs here to provide the
Reference Index Signal.

Connection
The Write Protect/Remote LED Header is a 6-pin, 3 jumper (or
connector) position header behind the front panel at the right side
of the drive, opposite the LED. The pins are on 0.100 inch (2.54 mm)
centers both vertically and side to side. A suggested mating two pin
connector is the DuPont Mini Latch housing P/N 65291-008 or
equivalent. The drive front panel must not be present in order to
access the header. For a remote LED capability, plug the remote LED
cable connector vertically to the leftmost two pins of the header (as
viewed from the front of the drive). The center two pins provide a
drive write protect capability. A shorting jumper plug may be
plugged vertically onto these two pins to write protect the drive or
a two-pin cable connector may be plugged there to connect the two
pins to a remote Write Protect switch. The rigthmost two pins are
RESERVED for factory use only.

The drive will operate in all axis (6 directions).
Drive Orientation
-----------------
The balanced rotary arm actuator design of the WREN 8 allows it to
be mounted in any orientation. All drive performance characteriza-
tion, however, has been done with the drive in horizontal (discs
level) and vertical (drive on its side) orientations, and these are
the two preferred mounting orientations.
The WREN 8 is designed, manufactured, and tested with a "Plug-in and
Play" installation philosophy. This philosophy minimizes the
requirements for highly trained personnel to integrate the WREN 8
into the OEM's system, wether in a factory or field environment.
Mounting Holes
--------------
Four on bottom. Two on each side. 6-32-INC. max. screw length into
side of chassis 3.17 mm (0.125 in). Max. screw length into bottom of
chassis is 3.17 mm (0.125 in).
Cooling
-------
Cabinet cooling must be designed by the customer so that the
ambient temperature immediately surrounding the WREN 8 will not
exceed temperature conditions. Specific consideration should be given
to make sure adequate air circulation is present around the PWAs.
Service Tools
-------------
No special tools are required for site installation or recommended
for site maintenance. The depot repair philosophy of the WREN 8
precludes the necessity for special tools. Field repair of the drive
is not practical since there are no user purchasable parts in the
drive.
Air Cleanliness
---------------
The WREN 8 is designed to operate in a typical office environment
with minimal environment control.
Drive Termination
-----------------
This option may be incorporated during manufacture at the request of
the customer. For single ended interface drives, termination consists
of three 220/330 ohm resistor modules (SIPs) which are installed on
the Main PWA via sockets.
Power Sequencing
----------------
Power sequencing is not required for the WREN 8. The WREN 8 protects
against inadvertent writing during power up and down. Daisychain
operation requires that power be maintained on the terminated WREN 8
to ensure proper termination of the peripheral I/O cables.
Synchronized Spindle Operation
------------------------------
The synchronized spindles operation allows several drives operating
from the same host to operate their spindles at the same synchronized
rotational rate. Drives operating in a system in synchronized mode
increase the system capacity and transfer rate in a cost effective
manner.
The interface consists of a twisted pair cable that connects the
drives in the synchronized system in a daisy chain. Master/Slave
operation will be automatically set by the druves in the system at
power-up time, or each drive in the system can be configured by the
host (using a Mode Select command) to operate in either the master or
slave mode. While loading heads after power up, a drive checks for
occurrences of the Reference Index signal. If there are no Reference
Index pulses occuring, the drive takes over as master and begins
sending the reference Index signal. Drives can be re-configured by
the host any time after power up to be master or slave by use of the
Mode Select command Rigid Disc Drive Geometry page.
The master provides the reference signal to which all other drives
phase lock, including the master. There is only one master per
system, and that can be a drive or the host computer. All drives may
be configured as slaves allowing the host to provide the reference
signal. All drives default to the synchronized mode when powered up.
Each drive can later be reconfigured to the non-synchronized mode in
which it ignores the reference index signal that might be present.
The connection to the host is required only if the host is to provide
the reference signal. If the host does not provide the reference
signal, the host should not be connected.
Each drive can be configured for the non-synchronized mode in which
it ignores any reference signal that might be present. The connection
of the synchronized reference signal to the host is required only if
the host is to provide the reference signal. If the host does not
provide the reference signal, the host should not be connected and
the master should be drive #1.
The reference signal (REFSIG+) is provided by the servo/read-write
LSI on the master drive. It is 60 Hz crystal generated signal. The
signal is normally false/negated (nominal 0V) and makes a transition
to the true/asserted (nominal +5V) level to indicate the reference
position during the revolution period. The trailing (falling) edge of
the reference signal is used by the master and the slave drives to
phase lock their spindles. A maximum of 10 seconds is allowed for a
slave to synchronize with the reference signal.
Electrical Description
----------------------
The electrical interface consists of on edigital TTL reference index
signal and ground. The Reference Index Signal (REFSIG+) is an output
if the drive is configured as a master and is an input otherwise.
Drivers and Receivers
---------------------
The driver circuits have the following electrical specifications:
Negated (Flase): 0.0 V to +0.4 V @ I = -48 mA (max).
Asserted (True): +2.24 V to +5.25 V @ I = +250 uA.
Termination
-----------
The Reference Index Signal should be terminated with a 2K ohm
resistor. Each drive has a termination resistor located on the Main
PWA. Each drive has a terminator resistor which is not removable and
is always in the circuit.
J4 (20-Pin) Physical Interface
------------------------------
The rightmost four pins of the Select Header are used as the
Reference Index Signal (REFSIG+) interface. It is a 20-pin gold
header type connector, Seagate part number 77612203 DuPont
Electronics part number 65624-140 (or equivalent). A recommended
mating connector is a DuPont Electronics Mini-Latch Housing, crimp-
to-wire pins part number 65043-035 (4 pins)(or equivalent).
Front Panel
-----------
The normal front panel available is black plastic. Other panel colors
may be special ordered. Each panel has a single rectangular LED
indicator lens which, when glowing indicates the drive is selected.
LED lens colors available are red, amber or green.

Standards
---------
The WREN 8 has been developed as a system peripherals to the
highest standards of design and construction. The WREN 8 depends
upon its host equipment to provide adequate power and environment in
order to achieve optimum performance and compliance with applicable
industry and governmental regualations. Special attention must be
given in the areas of safety, power distribution, shielding, audible
noise control, and temperature regulation.
The WREN 8 is a UL Recognized component per UL478 and a CSA Certified
Component per CSA C22.2, No. 220-M1986. It also meets the
requirements of DIN IEC 380/VDE 0806/08.81, DIN IEC 435/VDE 0805/
11.84 and EN 60 950/9.87.
The WREN 8, as delivered, is designed for system integration
before use. It is supplied as a component or subassembly as defined
in the FCC Rules and Regulations, Part 15, Subpart J governing EMI
of computing devices end the Radio Interference Regulations of the
Canadian Department of Communications. The WREN 8 is, therefore,
not directly subject to the FCC rules and regulations or the Radio
Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communica-
tions.
The head, disc and actuator chamber (HDA) is environmentally sealed
at the factory. Air is recirculated within the HDA and passes through
a nonreplaceable filter to ensure the maintenance of a contamination
free disc/actuator environment.
The WREN 8 uses a dedicated landing zone at the innermost radius of
the media thus eliminating the possibility of destroying or degrading
data by landing in the data zone. The drive automatically goes to the
landing zone when the power goes off.
The WREN 8 incorporates an automatic shipping look which prevents
potential damage to the heads and discs caused by movements during
shipping and handling. The shipping lock is automatically disengaged
when power is applied to the drive.
The WREN 8 decodes Track 0 location from the dedicated servo surface
thereby eliminating mechanical transducer adjustments and related
reliability concerns.
The WREN 8 use a high performance actuator assembly consisting of a
low inertia, balanced, patented, straight arm design which provides
excellent performance with minimum power dissipation.
Media Description
-----------------
The media used in the WREN 8 has a diameter of approximately 5
inches (130 mm). The aluminum substrate is coated with a thin film
magnetic material, overcoated with a proprietary protective layer for
improved durability and environmental protection.
Defect and Error Management
---------------------------
The WREN 8, as delivered, complies with this specification. The read
error rate and specified storage capacity are not dependent upon use
of defect management routines by the host (initiator).
Defect and error management in the SCSI system involves the WREN 8
internal defect/error management and SCSI systems error considera-
tions (error in communications between host and WREN 8). Tools for
use in designing a defect/error management plan are briefly outlined
in this section, with references to other sections where further
details are given.
WREN 8 Internal Defect/Errors
-----------------------------
Identified defects are recorded on the WREN 8 defects list tracks
(referred to as the primary or ETF defect list). These known defects
are reallocated during the initial WREN 8 format operation at the
factory. The WREN 8 internal retries and data correction by ECC
should be enabled to recover data from additional flaws if they
occur. If data correction by ECC is required to recover data, the
host should immediately reallocate this sector by use of the Reassign
Blocks command. If the WREN 8 automatic retries and data correction
by ECC are disabled, defects are usally unrecoverable and need to be
reallocated as they are discovered. For reallocation of bad sectors,
the number of spare sectors per track or cylinder and the number of
spare tracks per volume is programmable. After formatting, defects
can be automatically reallocated by the WREN 8, or can be reallocated
when the host sends the Reassign Blocks Command.

+----------------------------------+--------+
Temperature
-----------
The drive will meet all specifications over a 50*F to 122*F (10*C to
50*C) drive ambient temperature range with a maximum gradient of 36*F
(20*C) per hour. The enclosure for the drive should be designed such
that the temperatures at the locations are not exceeded. Air flow may
be needed to achieve these temperature values. Operation at case
temperatures above these values may adversely affect the drives
ability to meet specifications.
Heat/Power Dissipation
----------------------
For drives with single ended interface WREN 8 will dissipate no more
than 25 watts (85.4 BTUs per hour) of DC power average under worst
case operating conditions at nominal voltage. Typical power
dissipation under idle operating conditions is less than 21 watts
(71.7 BTUs) per hour.
Reliability
-----------
The following reliability specifications assume correct host/drive
operational interface including all interface timings, power supply
voltages, environmental requirements.
MTBF 150,000 hours
Service Life 5 years
Preventive Maintenance None required
Prefetch/Multi-Segmented Cache Control
--------------------------------------
The WREN 8 provides a Prefetch/Multi-Segmented Cache algorithm that
in many cases can enhance system performance. This feature is
selected by issuing the Mode Select Command with the proper values in
the applicable bytes in pages 08h and 38h.
In general, 192 Kbytes of the 240 Kbytes physical buffer space in the
WREN 8 can be used as a cache. The cache is divided into logical
segments from which data is read and to which data is written. WREN 8
keeps track of the logical block addresses of the data stored in each
segment of the cache. If the cache is enabled, data requested by the
host with a Read command is retrieved from the cache, if possible,
before any disc access is initiated. Data in contiguous logical
blocks immediately beyond that which was requested by the Read
command can be retrieved and stored in the cache for immediate
transfer to the initiator can limit the amount of prefetch data to
optimize system performance. The WREN 8 never prefetches more sectors
than the number specified in bytes 8 and 9 of Mode Page 08h. If the
cach eis not enabled, 240 Kbytes of the buffer is used as a circular
buffer for Read/Writes, with no prefetch operation and no segmented
cache operation.
Unformatted and Formatted Capacities
------------------------------------
Unformatted Capacity of the WREN 8 ST41650N is 1.65 GB
Formatted capacity depends on the number of spare reallocatin sectors
reserved and the number of bytes per sector. The following table
shows som etypical formatted capacities:
+---------------------------+--------------------------------+
|Spare Sectors per Cylinder | Sector Size* |
|Reserved for reallocation | 512 Bytes/Sec.| 1024 Bytes/Sec.|
+---------------------------+---------------+----------------+
|No Spares | 1432 MB | 1524 MB |

* Selectable at format time. The user may modify the data block size
before issuing a format command and obtain different formatted
capacities than those listed. User available capacity will depend on
spare reallocation scheme selected. See Mode Select Command and
Format Command in the WREN SCSI Interface Product Manual P/N
77765466.
