 Jumper Setting
 ==============

 x = Jumper set at factory


 On the drive printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), there are three
 pairs of jumper pins that allow you set the drive's SCSI address.
 When you change a jumper setting, the new setting is in effect when
 the drive is next powered on.

 Used in combination, the jumper setting accross pins A2, A1, and A0
 determine the ProDrive LPS 127/170S hard disk drive's SCSI-bus
 device identification (SCSI ID). By default, Quantum configures the
 drive with a SCSI ID of six - that is, with jumpers installed across
 the pins labeld A2 and A1 and no jumper installed across the pins
 labeld A0.

   |  A0     |          OFF      | drive's SCSI ID.            |
   |         |                   | The default SCSI ID is 6.   |
   +---------+-------------------+-----------------------------+

 Note: ON  indicates a jumper is installed.

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


 Orientation
 -----------
 The mounting holes on the ProDrive LPS 127/170S hard disk drive
 allow the drive to be mounted in any orientation.


 Mounting
 --------
 For mounting, #6-32 UNC screws are recommended. To avoid stripping
 the mounting-hole threads, the maximum torque applied to the screws
 must not exceed 8 inch-pounds.


 Faceplate
 ---------
 Quantum ships the ProDrive LPS 127/170S hard disk drive without a
 faceplate.


 Terminating Resistors
 ---------------------
 At the factory, Quantum installs two resistor networks in sockets on
 the drive PCBA to terminate the SCSI bus. Only the first device -
 usually the host - and the last device on a SCSI bus should contain
 terminating resistors. When installing the ProDrive LPS 127/170S
 hard disk drive in any other position on the SCSI bus, remove the
 terminating resistors.


 Clearance
 ---------
 The printed-circuit board assembly (PCBA) is very close to the
 mounting holes. Clearance from the drive to any other surface -
 except mounting surfaces - must be 1.25 millimeters (0.05 inches)
 minimum. The specified screw length allows full use of the mounting-
 hole threads, while avoiding damaging or placing unwanted stress on
 the PCBA.

 CAUTION
 The printed-circuit board (PCB) is very close to the mounting holes.
 Do not exceed the specified length for the mounting screws. The
 specified screw length allows full use of the mounting-hole threads,
 while avoiding damaging or placing unwanted stress on the PCB. To
 avoid stripping the mounting-hole threads, the maximum torque
 applied to the screws must not exceed 8 inch-pounds.


 Ventilation
 -----------
 The ProDrive LPS 127/170S hard disk drive operates without a cooling
 fan, provided the ambient air temperature does not exceed 122*F
 (50*C).


 Cable Connector
 ---------------
 The ProDrive LPS 127/170S has a combination DC/SCSI cable connector.
 A key slot on the header prevents the incorrect installation of the
 header connector on the SCSI cable. To prevent the header connector
 on the SCSI cable from being plugged in backwards, use only a keyed
 header connector.

 The drive's combination DC/SCSI connector part number is Dupont
 90910-001, 2 in 1 SMT.

 Labels indicate the pin numbers on the connector. Pin 2 and 3 are
 connected together on the drive.


 LED Connector (J12)
 -------------------
 The LED connector my be used to connect an external LED for the pur-
 pose of monitoring drive activity. A 220-ohm resistor is connected in
 series from the +LED pin to +5 volts. The -LED pin is connected to a
 switching transistor on the drive that turns on and lights the LED
 when the disk is performing a read or write operation. When no read
 or write operation is taking place, the transistor turns off and the
 LED is extinguished.

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

 Power Sequencing
 ----------------
 You can apply the power in any order or manner, or short or open
 either the power or power-return line with no loss of data or damage
 to the disk drive. However, data may be lost in the sector being
 written at the time of power loss. The drive can withstand transient
 voltages of +10% to -100% from nominal while powering up or down.


 Head/Disk Assembly
 ------------------
 The head/disk assembly (HDA) contains the mechanical subassemblies of
 the drive, which are sealed under a metal cover. The HDA consists of
 the disk stack assembly, rotary positioner assembly, headstack
 assembly, actuator latch assembly, and base casting which includes
 the DC motor assembly. Assembly of the HDA takes place in a Class-
 100 clean room. These subassemblies are not adjustable or field-
 repairable.

 Caution: To ensure that the air in the HDA remains free of contamina-
 tion, never remove or adjust its cover and seals. Tampering with the
 HDA voids your warranty.


 DC Motor Assembly
 -----------------
 Integral with the base casting, the DC motor assembly is a rotating-
 shaft, brushless DC spindle motor that drives the counter-clockwise
 rotation of the disks.


 Disk Caching
 ------------
 The ProDrive LPS 127/170S hard disk drive incorporates DisCache
 a 96K disk cache, to enhance drive performance. This integrated
 feature can significantly improve system throughput. Read and write
 caching can be enabled or disabled using the MODE SELECT command.
 (The upper 32K is used for firmware).

 Automatic Actuator Lock
 -----------------------
 To ensure data integrity and prevent damage during shipment, the
 drive uses a dedicated landing zone and Quantum's patented AIRLOCK.
 The AIRLOCK holds the headstack in the landing zone whenever the
 disks are not rotating. It consists of an air vane mounted near the
 perimeter of the disk stack and a locking arm that restrains the
 actuator arm assembly.

 When DC power is applied to the motor and the disk stack rotates, the
 rotation generates an airflow on the surface of the disk. As the flow
 of air across the air vane increases with disk rotation, the locking
 arm pivots away from the actuator arm, enabling the headstack to move
 out of the landing. When DC power is removed from the motor, an
 electric return mechanism automatically pulls the actuator into the
 landing zone, where the AIRLOCK holds it in place.

QUANTUM  PRODRIVE LPS 127/170S  PRODUCT MANUAL 81-104563-01

 Product Overview
 ----------------
 Quantum's ProDrive LPS 127/170S hard disk drives are a part of a
 family of high-performance, 1-inch-high, hard disk drives
 manufactured to meet the highest product quality standards. ProDrive
 LPS hard disk drives use nonremovable, 3 -inch hard disks.

 The ProDrive LPS 127/170S hard disk drives feature an embedded SCSI
 drive controller and use SCSI commands to optimize system
 performance. The drive manages media defects and error recovery
 internally, so these operations are transparent to the user.

 The innovative design of ProDrive LPS 127/170S hard disk drives
 enables Quantum to produce a family of low-cost, high-reliability
 drives.


 Formatted Capacity
 ------------------
 At the factory, the ProDrive LPS 127/170S receives a low-level
 format that creates the actual tracks and sectors on the drive.


 Reliability
 -----------
 Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF):

    300,000 Power On Hours (POH), typical usage

 The Quantum MTBF numbers represent Bell-Core MTBF predictions at
 ambient operating conditions and represent the minimum MTBF that
 Quantum or a customer would expect from the drive. Quantum's ongoing
 reliability testing and field return data has historically confirmed
 an actual MTBF of twice the Bell-Core prediction.

 Preventive Maintenance (PM):

    Not required

 Mean Time To Repair (MTTR):

    30 minutes

 Start/Stop:

    20,000 cycles (minimum)

 Component Life:

      5 Years


 Error Detection and Correction
 ------------------------------
 As disk drive areal densities increase, obtaining extremely low error
 rates requires a new generation of sophisticated error-correction
 codes. Quantum ProDrive LPS 127/170S series hard disk drives
 implement 112-bit single- and double-burst Reed-Solomon error-
 correction techniques to reduce the uncorrectable read error rate
 to less than one bit in 1 x 10(14) bits read.

 When errors occurs, an automatic retry and a more rigorous double-
 burst correction algorithm enable the correction of any sector with
 two bursts of three incorrect bytes each or up to six multiple
 random one-byte burst errors. In addition to these advanced error
 correction capabilities, the drive's additional cross-checking code
 and algorithm double checks the main ECC correction to greatly re-
 duce the probability of miscorrection.


 Multiple Random Burst Errors
 ----------------------------
 The drive's ECC can correct up to 48 bits of multiple random errors,
 provided that the incorrect bytes follow the guidelines for
 correctablle double burst errors. Up to 24 bits of multiple random
 errors can be corrected on-the-fly if only one byte per interleave
 contains an error. If more than two bytes in any one interleave are
 in error, the sector cannot be corrected.


 Defect Management
 -----------------
 The ProDrive LPS 127/170S allocates one sector per cylinder as a
 spare. In the factory, the media is scanned for defects. If a
 sector on a cylinder is found to be defective, the address of the
 sector is added to the drive's defect list. Sectors located
 physically subsequent to the defective sector are assigned logical
 block addresses such that a sequential ordering of logical blocks
 results. This inline sparing technique is employed in an attempt to
 eliminate slow data transfer that would result from a single
 defective sector on a cylinder.

 If more than one sector is found defective on a cylinder, the inline
 sparing technique is applied only to the first sector. The remaining
 defective sectors are replaced with the nearest available spare
 sectors on nearby cylinders. Such an assignment of additional
 replacement sectors from nearby sectors rather than having a central
 pool of spare sectors is an attempt to minimize the motion of the
 actuator and head that otherwise would be needed to find a replace-
 ment sector. The result is minimal reduction of data throughput.
