 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. (3.17 mm).


 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.


 Service Tools
 -------------
 No special tools are required for site installation or recommended
 site maintenance. The depot repair philiosophy of WREN 6HH precludes
 the necessity for special tools. If field repair of items external to
 the HDA is desired, a 6 point Torx T10 driver is required. This may
 be purchased through most commercial tool catalogs.


 Physical Description
 --------------------
 Model ST2383N/502N WREN may be chained together or with other
 compatible SCSI devices using a common cable. Both ends of the cable
 must be terminated. The WREN 6HH implements single ended drivers and
 receivers, which allow a maximum cable length of six metres
 (primarily for connection within a cabinet). All signals are common
 between all SCSI devices. The Model ST2383N/502N WREN 6HH may be
 daisychained only with SCSI devices with single ended drivers and
 receivers. A maximum of 8 SCSI devices (including the Host) may be
 daisychained together. The SCSI Devices at both ends of the
 daisychain are to terminated. Intermediate SCSI devices shall not be
 terminated. Remove the terminator resistor packs, not the terminator
 power source selector jumper.


 Cable Requirements
 ------------------
 Only nonshielded cable connectors are applicable. A 50 conductor flat
 cable or 25 twisted pair cable shall be used. The maximum total cable
 length shall be 6.0 metres. A stub length of no more than 0.1 metre
 is allowed off the mainline interconnection within any connected
 equipment. An ideal impedance match with cable terminators implies a
 cable characteristic impedance of 132 ohm (single ended option). In
 general, cables with this high of a characteristics impedance are not
 available; however, impedances that are somewhat lower are satis-
 factory. A characteristic impedance of 100 ohm   10% is recommended
 for unshielded flat or twisted pair ribbon cable. However, most
 available cables have a somewhat lower characteristic impedance. To
 minimize discontionuities and signal reflections, cables of different
 impedances should not be used in the same bus. Implementations may
 require trade-offs in shielding effectiveness, cable length, the
 number of loads, transfer rates, and cost to achieve satisfactory
 system operation. If shielded and unshielded cables are mixed within
 the same SCSI bus, the effect of impedance mismatch must be carefully
 considered.

 A minimum conductor size of 28 AWG should be used to minimize noise
 effects.

 Suggested nonshielded flat cable part numbers are:

    Flat cable     3M-3365-50
    Twisted pair   Spectra twist in flat 455-248-50

 Equivalent parts may be used.


 Connector Requirements
 ----------------------
 The nonshielded cable connector shall be a 50 conductor connector
 constisting of to rows of 25 female contacts with adjacent contacts
 100 mils apart.

 Recommended Mating Flat Cable Connector Part Numbers are:

 Closed end   3M-3425-7000      W/O Strain Relief, No Center Key
 (for cable   3M-3425-7050      With Strain Relief, No Center Key
 ends)        Dupont-66900-290  With Strain Relief, With Center Key

 Open end     3M-3425-6000      W/O Strain Relief, No Center Key
 (In Daisy-   3M-3425-6050      With Strain Relief, No Center Key
 chain)       Dupont-66900-250  With Strain Relief, With Center Key

 The Model ST2383N/502N WREN 6HH device connector is a nonshielded 50
 conductor connector consisting of two row of 25 male pins with
 adjacent pins 100 mils apart. The connector is keyed.

 Drive Connector Part Number: Berg - 65496 - 031 or equivalent.

 DC Cable and Connector
 ----------------------
 The WREN 6 HH receives DC power through a 4 pin right angle connector
 mounted on the servo PWA. Recommended part number for the
 mating connector are listed below, but equivalent parts may be used.

 Type of cable:      14 AWG
 Connector:          AMP 1-480424-0
 Contacts:           AMP 60619-4 (Loose Piece); AMP 61117-4 (Strip)

 Electrical Description
 ----------------------
 All interface signals with the Model ST2383N/502N WREN 6HH are
 single ended and must be terminated with 220 ohm to +5 V and 330 ohm
 to ground at each end of the total cable. All signals use open
 collector or three state drivers. Optional termination is available
 internal to the WREN 6HH.


 Single Ended Drivers/Receivers
 ------------------------------
 Single ended drivers and receivers are used by the WREN 6HH.


 Transmitter Characteristics
 ---------------------------
 The WREN 6HH uses an ANSI SCSI compatible open collector single ended
 driver. This driver is capable of sinking a current of 48 mA with a
 low level output voltage of 0.4 volt.


 Receiver Characteristics
 ------------------------
 The WREN 6HH uses a ANSI SCSI single ended receiver with hysteresis
 gate or equivalent as a line receiver.


 Terminator Requirements
 -----------------------
 Internal WREN 6HH I/O termination consist of three resistor modules
 which plug into sockets on the Main PWA. The WREN 6HH may be ordered
 with or without these termination resistors to facilitate a
 particular application. All single initiator/single target (non-
 daisychain) applications require that the Initiator and WREN 6HH be
 terminated. Daisychain applications require that only the unit at
 each end of the daisychain be terminated. All other peripherals on
 the chain should not be terminated.
 Note: Remove terminator resistor packs where terminators are not
 required. Removal of terminator power source selection jumper does
 not disconnect the terminator resistor from the circuit.


 Drive Termination
 -----------------
 This option may be incorporated during manufacture at the request of
 the customer. Termination consists of three 220/330 ohm Sip
 resistor modules which are installed on the Main PWA via sockets. The
 user may install or remove these as desired.


 Terminator Power
 ----------------
 The WREN 6HH may be configured to power the internal termination
 resistors via Pin 26 of the SCSI bus or via the wREN 6HH power
 connector. Termination power may also be supplied to Pin 26 of the
 SCSI bus through an isolation diode and fuse network.

 Single ended SCSI devices providing termination power (TERMPWR) shall
 have the following characteristics:

     V TERM = 4.0V to 5.25V
     800 mA min source drive capability
     1.0 A maximum

 General Description
 -------------------
 The WREN 6HH 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.

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

 The WREN 6HH is a UL Recognized component per UL 478 and a CSA
 Certified component per CSA C22.2 No. 220-M1986. It also meets the
 requirements of DIN IEC 380/VDE 0806/8.81, DIN IEC 435/VDE 0805/11.84
 and EN 60950/09.87.

 The WREN 6HH product as delivered, is designed for system integration
 and installation into a suitable enclosure prior to use. As such, the
 WREN 6HH is supplied as a sub-assembly and is not subject to Subpart
 J of Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations nor the Radio
 Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of
 Communications. However, the unit has been tested using proper
 shielding and grounding and found to be compliant with the Class A
 limits of the FCC Rules and the Regulations of the Canadian Depart-
 ment of Communications.

 The physical design characteristics of the WREN 6HH serve to minimize
 radiation when installed in an enclosure that provides reasonable
 shielding. As such, the WREN 6HH is capable of meeting the Class B
 limits of the FCC Rules and the Regulations. of the Canadian
 Department of Communications. However, it is the end user's
 responsibility to assure that the WREN 6HH meets the appropriate EMI
 requirements in their system. Shielded I/O cables may be required if
 the enclosure does not provide adequate shielding. If I/O cables are
 external to the enclosure, shielded cables should be used, with the
 shields grouned to the enclosure and to the host controller.


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

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

 The WREN 6HH 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 6HH 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
 ---------------------------
 WREN 6HH, 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 WREN 6HH
 internal defect/error management and SCSI systems error
 considerations (errors in communications between Initiator and WREN
 6HH). 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 6HH Internal Defects/Errors
 --------------------------------
 Identified defects are recorded on the WREN 6HH defects list tracks
 (referred to as the promary or ETF defect list). It is recommended
 that these known defects be reallocated during the initial WREN 6HH
 format operation. The WREN 6HH 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 6HH automatic retries and data
 correction by ECC features are not used, defects are usually un-
 recoverable and need to be reallocated as they are diacovered. 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 6HH, or can be reallocated when the host sends the Reassign
 Blocks Command.

        ----------------------------------+---------+---------+

 Read Look-Ahead/Cache Control
 -----------------------------
 The WREN 6HH Model ST2383N/502N provides a Read Look-ahead multi-
 segmented cache control algorithm which can in may cases enhance
 system performance. This feature may be selected by issuing a Mode
 Select Command with the proper values in the applicable bytes in page
 38H.


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


 Start/Stop Time
 ---------------
 After DC power has been applied, the WREN 6HH will become ready
 within 20 seconds if the Motor Start Option is disabled. During this
 time, the drive will respond to the SCSI interface. Stop time will be
 less than 25 seconds from removal of DC power.

 If the Motor Start Option is enabled, the internal controller will
 accept the commands three seconds after DC power has been applied.
 After the Motor Start Command has been received the WREN 6HH will
 become ready for normal operations within 18 seconds. During this
 time the drive will respond to the SCSI interface in accorance with
 the rules for Command Queing.


 Temperature
 -----------
 The drive will meet all specifications over a 50*F to 122*F (10*C to
 50*C) 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. A small
 amount of air flow may be needed to achieve these temperature values.


 Air Cleanliness
 ---------------
 The WREN 6HH is designed to operate in a typical office environment
 with minimal environmental control.

 Reliability
 -----------
 The following reliability specifications assume correct host/drive
 operational interface, including all interface timings, power supply
 voltages, environmental conditions, and appropriate data handling
 circuit to the host system.

 MTBF                     100,000 hours
