 Pins on the drive ID select and configuration select header are
 provided to facilitate manual drive configuration. No devices other
 than jumpers should be connected to these pins. Connection made to
 external devices (Switches, Connectors, etc.) could result in adverse
 affect drive performance. Exact location of these pins and header
 may be changed without notice.


 Drive Select
 ------------
 The following characteristics apply to the Drive Select lines:

  1.   Logical unit designation for up to 7 drives is performed during
       installation by installing jumpers on pins on a connector
       header on the main PWA. The jumpers are installed in a 1
       through 7 position configuration to select device addresses 1
       through 7. Zero is not a valid address.

  2.   The controller shall not attempt to select the drive until 1
       second after DC power is applied. The Ready output will be
       valid (whether asserted or negated) within 1 us after the drive
       is selected.

  3.   The drive will be selected (and the Drive Selected Signal
       asserted) within 1 us after the Drive Select lines contain that
       unit's select address. The drive will be deselected (and the
       Drive Selected signal negated) within 1 us after the Drive
       Select lines contain another unit's select address.

  4.   The Drive Select lines must remain asserted for 1 us after a
       write operation.

  5.   When the Drive Select lines are asserted, a head change will
       occur, requiring a delay before a read or write operation can
       be initiated.

 Notes on installation
 =====================

 Drive Orientation
 -----------------
 The balanced rotary arm actuator design of the Wren 6 HH allows it to
 be mounted in any orientation. All drive performance characterization
 however, has been done with the drive in horizontal (disc level) and
 vertical (drive on its side) orientations, and these are the two
 preferred mounting orientations.


 WREN 6 HH is designed, manufactured, and tested with a "Plug-in and
 Play" installation philosophy. This minimizes the requirements for
 highly trained personnel to integrate the WREN 6 HH into an OEM's
 system, wether in a factory or field environment.


 Mounting Holes
 --------------
 Mounting Holes (6-32 UNC-2B). Four on bottom, four on each side. Max.
 screw length into chassis 0.125 in.


 Front Panel
 -----------
 The WREN 6 HH is available with a black front panel. The panel has a
 window through which a single red* LED shows from its mounting on the
 Main PWA. The LED, when glowing, indicates the drive is selected. A
 flashing LED indicates the presence of a nonrecoverable fault. A
 fault indication is displayed irrespective of Drive Select status.

 *Green or Amber LED indicator will be available, but must be
  specified when ordering units.


 Cooling
 -------
 Cabinet cooling must be designed by the customer so that the ambient
 temperature immediately surrounding the WREN 6 HH will not exceed
 temperature conditions. Specific consideration should be given to
 make sure adequate air circulation around the components on the PWAs.

 parallel on a common control cable. Only the drive selected by the
 host system has its control and data signals enabled through this
 common interface. View B illustrates a daisy-chain of WREN 6 HH Disc
 Drives or other ESDI devices. A terminator resistor pack is
 required in the host controller for each data cable. Only the last
 ESDI device in the daisychain requires a terminator resistor pack
 for the control cable. Terminator resistor packs for the control
 cable or other drives must be removed. The total combined control
 cable length (from the controller to the first drive, to the second
 and subsequent drives) must not be more than 10 feet (3.00 meters).

 Interface Drivers/Receivers
 ---------------------------
 The WREN 6 HH uses two types of signals; single ended and balanced
 differential. The data and clock signals use balanced differential
 drivers and receivers. All other signals use single ended drivers and
 receivers.

 Single Ended Drivers/Receivers
 -------------------------------
 Transmitter Characteristics
 The WREN 6 HH uses the 74F38 open collector buffer/driver to transmit
 status to the host. This driver is capable of sinking a current of
 48 mA with a low-level output voltage of 0.7V.

 Receiver Characteristics
 The WREN 6 HH uses the 74LS14 Hex Inverter with hysteresis gate as a
 line receiver. The input of each receiver is terminated in a 150 ohm
 pullup resistor.

 Terminator Characteristics
 The terminator is a resistor module that plugs into a socket in the
 last drive in a daisychain. Each drive is furnished with a
 terminator. Terminators must be removed from all except the last
 drive on the cable prior to daisychain operation. An equivalent
 terminator must be provided in the controller on each input signal
 line from the drive to the controller. Only the control cable
 resistor module is removable.


 Balanced Differential Drivers/Receivers
 ---------------------------------------
 Transmitter Characteristics
 The WREN 6 HH uses 8923 balanced differential driver. An assertion on
 the interface is defined when "+" output is more positive than the
 "-" output.

 Receiver Characteristics
 ------------------------
 The WREN 6 HH uses 8923 type balanced differential receivers. An
 assertion one on the interface is defined when the "+" input is more
 positive than the "-" input.

 Terminator Requirements
 -----------------------
 Each differential receiver in the drive is terminated with a 100 ohm
 resistor. An equivalent terminator must be provided in the controller
 on each input signal line from the drive to the controller.

 General Description
 -------------------
 The WREN 6 HH is a member of a family of low cost, high performance,
 highly reliable, random access storage devices designed to meet the
 needs of the OEM marketplace.

 The Model 94246 WREN 6 HH supports the Enhanced Small Device
 Specification (77738076). This product specification was created to
 be used in conjunction with this industry standard interface
 specification.


 Standards
 ---------
 The WREN 6 HH has been developed as a system peripherals to the
 highest standards of design and construction. The WREN 6 HH depends
 upon its 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 6 HH complies with Seagate standards.

 The WREN 6 HH, as delivered, is designed for system integration
 before use.


 The Head/Disc/Actuator Assembly (HDA) is environmentally sealed at
 the factory. Air is recirculated within the HDA through a nonreplace-
 able filter to maintain a contamination free HDA environment.

 The WREN 6 HH 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 WREN 6 HH 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 6 HH decodes Track 0 location from the dedicated servo
 surface thereby eliminating mechanical transducer adjustments and
 related reliability concerns.

 The WREN 6 HH uses 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 on the WREN 6 HH 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.
 Each data surface has a total of 1747 tracks and is capable of
 recording 54,716,040 bytes of unformatted data.

 Media defects are characterized as correctable or uncorrectable de-
 pending on the type and magnitude of the media flaw. Various error
 correction codes may be implemented. The code chosen should be
 consistent with Seagate media testing and certification methods.
 WREN 6 HH media certification is performed using the following
 standards:
            An error burst of 11 bits or less is a correctable error.

            An error burst greater than 11 bits in length is an un-
            correctable error.

 Host systems using the WREN 6 HH should have, as a minimum, resident
 capabilities to recognize and map defective tracks and perform track
 reallocation routines.

 At the time of shipment from the point of manufacture, the WREN 6 HH
 recording surfaces meet the following requirements.

       1. 1747 total tracks per surface.

       2. Tracks 0 to be error free on each data surface.

       3. 50 defects per surface maximum.

       4. Cumulative defects not to exceed 1 per megabyte, based on
          total available unformatted drive capacity.


 Defect and Error Management
 ---------------------------
 The WREN 6 HH, as delivered, complies with specification. The read
 error rate and specified storage capacity are not dependent upon use
 of defect management routines. However, a carefully chosen defect
 management plan can significantly enhance overall system performance.

 Identified defects are recorded on the defects list tracks per ESDI
 specification. It is recommended that these known defects be re-
 allocated during the initial format operation. Sector reallocation is
 suggested because, in general, it is more efficient and may offer
 significant performance improvement. Error Correction Code (ECC)
 should be used to correct additional flaws as they occur. ECC is re-
 commended since most of the defects are recoverable with ECC. If ECC
 is not used, defects are usually unrecoverable and need to be re-
 allocated as they are discovered.

 The WREN 6 HH defect list is written on maximum track, maximum track
 minus eigth and a special track 4095 (OFFF)

 The WREN 6 HH is formatted during production. Seagate maintains
 custom formatting capability which can incorporate many of the unique
 formats used in the Winchester marketplace. A majority of special
 format requirements can be implemented as specified.


 Drive/Receiver Characteristics
 ------------------------------
 Logic Level                   Drive Output         Receiver Input
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 High (negated) (0)      2.5 V;   5.25 V      2.0 V;   5.25 V
 Low (asserted) (1)      0.7 V;   0.0 V       0.8 V;   0.0 V

 The difference in the voltages between input and output signals is
 due to the losses in the cable.


 Seek Time
 ---------

                                          |WREN 6HH|
        ----------------------------------+--------+
        Track-to-Track         msec. typ. |   3    |
                               msec. max. |   5    |
                       Average msec. typ. |  16    |
                       Average msec. max. |  18    |
        Latency                msec. avg. |   8.35 |
        ----------------------------------+--------+
 Seek time is defined as the elapsed time from the receipt of a seek
 command until the drive signals the controller that it is ready to
 perform another seek or a read/write function on the new cylinder.
 Average seek time is determined by dividing the sum of the time for
 all possible movements by the total number of movements.


 Spindle Speed and Latency
 -------------------------
 The spindle speed is 3592   0.5% r/min. The speed tolerance includes
 motor performance and motor control circuit tolerances.

 The average latency time is 8.35 milliseconds, based on a nominal
 disc speed of 3592 r/min. The maximum latency time is 16.79 milli-
 seconds based on a minimum disc speed of 3574 r/min.


 Read Data Transfer Rate
 -----------------------
 The nominal read serial data transfer rate is 15.0 Mbits per second.


 Power Sequencing
 ----------------
 Power sequencing is not required for the WREN 6 HH. The drive
 protects against inadvertent writing during power up and down.
 Daisychain operation requires that power be maintained on the
 terminated WREN 6 HH to ensure proper termination of the peripherals
 I/O cables.


 Temperature
 -----------
 50*F to 122*F (10*C to 50*C) operating ambient with a maximum
 gradient of 18* F (10* C) per hour. Above 1000 feet (305 metres)
 altitude the maximum temperature is derated linearly to 122*F
 (44.4*C) at 10,000 feet (3048 metres). Cabinet packaging designs
 must provide ample air circulation around the WREN 6 HH to ensure
 environmental limits are not exceeded as a result of heat transfer
 from other system components. Operating ambient specifications
 purposes is defined as the environment immediately surrounding the
 WREN 6 HH. The temperature of the HDA is restricted to a maximum of
 142*F (61.4*C) during operations. System cooling consideration should
 avoid large (>5*F or 2.8*C) thermal gradients between points A and B.


 Reliability
 -----------
 The following reliability specifications assume correct host/drive
 operational interface, including all interface timings, power supply
 voltages, and environmental conditions.

 MTBF                     40,000 hours
 Service Life             5 years
 Preventive Maintenance   None required
