 Notes on Installation
 =====================

 Mounting Orientation
 --------------------
 The MiniScribe 9000E Series uses industry-standard mounting for
 5-1/4" Winchester Disk Drives. The 9000E Series are designed to be
 used in applications where the unit may experience shock and
 vibration at greater levels than larger and heavier disk drives.

 The drive may be mounted in any attitude.

 The 9000E drive is mounted using 6-32 UNC screws 1/4" maximum
 penetration. The customer must allow adequate ventilation to the
 drive to insure reliable operation.

 In as much as the drive frame acts as a heat sink to dissipate heat
 from the unit, the enclosure and mounting structure should be
 designed to allow natural convection of heat around the HDA and
 outer frame. If the enclosure is small or if natural convection is
 restricted, a fan may be required.


 Daisy Chaining the MiniScribe 9000 Drives
 -----------------------------------------
 Up to seven 9000E Series drives may be connected to a single host
 controller/formatter. Control signals at J1 are transmitted via
 standard, daisy-chain interconnection. Data signals at J2 are trans-
 mitted via radially connected data-transfer lines.

 Note: Interface terminators RP4 and RP17 are installed only in the
 last physical drive in the control chain. Maximum number of drives =
 7.


 Cabling
 -------
 Attach interface cables in the following order: P1, P2, P3 and P4
 to J1, J2, J3 and J4 respectively. Insure that connectors P1 and P2
 have keys installed. If multiple drives are to be interconnected,
 remove the terminator packs in all but the last drive of the daisy
 chain.


 J1 Connector Control Signals
 ----------------------------
 J1 is a 34 pin board edge connector on the drive printed circuit
 board. The signals on this connector control the drive and transfer
 drive status to the host controller. A key slot is provided between
 pins 4 and 6.

 Recommended mating connector: AMP ribbon connector 88373-3, or
 equivalent (key slot between pins 4 and 6).

 Recommended cable: 3M Scotchflex 3365/34 or equivalent.


 J2 Data Transfer Connector
 --------------------------
 J2 is a 20-pin board connector on the printed circuit board. The
 signals on this connector contain read or write data. A key slot is
 provided between pins 4 and 6.

 Recommended mating connector: AMP ribbon connector 88373-6 or
 equivalent.

 Recommended cable: 3M Scotchflex 3365-20, or equivalent (keyslot be-
 tween pins 4 and 6).


 J3  DC Power Connector
 ----------------------
 J3 is a 4-pin keyed connector on the printed circuit board. DC power
 (+5V and +12V) is supplied to the drive via this connector.

 Recommended connector: AMP 350543-1

 NOTE
 Interface Terminators RP4 and RP17 are installed only in the last
 physical drive in the control chain.


 Electrical Interface
 --------------------
 The MiniScribe 9000E Series is pin and function compatible with the
 serial mode of the Enhanced Small Device Interface (ESDI) for 5-1/4"
 Winchester Disk Drives. In the serial mode, interface signals
 (control, data and status) are transmitted serially via handshaking
 request/acknowledge signals.

 The Enhanced Small Device Interface can be divided into three
 categories, each of which is physically separated:

 a. Control Signals
 b. Data Signals
 c. DC power


 Control Signal Drivers and Receivers
 ------------------------------------
 All control lines are digital in nature (open collector TTL) and
 either provide signals to the drive (input) or signals to the host
 (output).


 The drivers have the following electrical specifications.

 True/Active:     0.0 VDC to 0.4 VDC @ 1 = -48 mA (Max.)
 False/Deactive:  2.5 VDC to 5.25 VDC @ 1 = +250  A (Open Collector)


 Data Signal Drivers and Receivers
 ---------------------------------
 The data transfer signals are differential in nature and provide
 data either to (write) or from (read) the drive.

 Introduction
 ------------
 The MiniScribe 9000E Series of disk drives are low cost, high
 capacity, high performance random access storage devices utilizing
 5 1/4" this film disks as storage media. Each disk surface employs
 one moveable head to access the data tracks. The 9000E Series
 features capacities of 230 and 380 megabytes (unformatted storage
 capacity). The 9000E disk drives utilize advanced 3380 Whitney-type
 head flexures and sliders which allow closer spacing of disks,
 allowing a higher number of disks in a standard 5 1/4" package.

 ----------------------------------+-------
 Maximum Defects*             230  |  380
 2 bytes in length
 Cylinder zero defect free

 *A single defect is defined as being less than 2 bytes long. A
 multiple defect is defined as 2 bytes or longer, or as a track with
 more than 1 single defect.


 Defect List
 -----------
 The 9000E series drives are shipped with a defect list that is
 written in the ESDI Rev. F recommended format.

 The defect list resides on Sector 0 of cylinder 1223 and is repeated
 on cylinder 1215. This allows for redundancy should an error occur on
 the maximum cylinder. The Sector 0 or any surface will contain the
 defects for that surface. The format for the data field portion of
 this sector is 256 bytes with 2 bytes of CRC (x16 = 12 = x5 =1):

  Defect locations are 5 bytes long.

  The start of the actual defect may be off by up to 7 bits due to the
  one byte resolution.

  The end of the defect list for each surface will be indicated by 5
  bytes of ones in the defect location field or the end of the sector.


 Error Message Readout
 ---------------------
 Flashing error codes are displayed through the drive LED by the
 Microprocessor to indicate hardware failures that occur while in the
 diagnostic mode (J9 installed) only. Failures during normal operation
 (connected to the host) will be reported through the ESDI interface.

 Error codes are displayed in a "morse-code" type manner. Flashes or
 bits are interpreted and converted into a hexadecimal error code.
 "Zeros" are indicated by a short (1/2 second) flashing mode. "Ones"
 are indicated by a short (1/2 second) continuous "on" mode. Error
 codes are separated by a one-second LED "off" time. All error codes
 and the revision level are 6 bits long.

 Listed Below are the binary to hexadecimal conversion values:

  00 = 000000   04 = 000100   08 = 001000   0C = 001100

 rotates the disk pack at 3600 RPM. This design allows the disk pack
 to be symmetrically mounted in the unicasting. It provides a more
 even distribution of heat across the disk surfaces and within the HDA
 improving performance under thermal or shock and vibration stresses.
 The disk pack (including spindle, hub, disks, and motor) is
 dynamically balanced prior to installation to insure low vibration
 and servo stability.

 Dynamic braking is employed to quickly stop the drive motor when
 power is removed.


 Air Filtration System
 ---------------------
 The disks and Read/Write heads are assembled in an ultraclean air
 environment (Class 100 or better) and then sealed within the head
 disk assembly.

 Within this sealed HDA a 0.1 micron filter provides constant
 internal air filtration. In addition, a breather filter provides a
 clean, equalized pressure between internal air and ambient to the HDA
 for the life of the drive.


 Automatic carriage retract and locking
 --------------------------------------
 If power is removed from the drive during a normal power down or in
 the event of a power failure, the actuator assembly will automatic-
 ally retract and be locked in a nondata area located at the inner-
 most portion of the disk. The heads will land on and take off from
 this area only.
