 J6  Drive Select
 ----------------
 Two options are implemented via J6 on the outer printed circuit
 board near connector J1. These options are selected by means of a
 shunt block or dipswitch on early models, or by pins with a moveable
 jumper on current models.

    +------------+----------------------+--+----------------+
    DRIVE SELECT, when  low level, connects the drive interface to the
    control lines. Cuting the appropriate shunts at IC position will
    determine which select line on the interface will activate that
    drive. The table indicates which DRIVE SELECT shunts must be cut.

 A status line is provided at the J2/P2 connector to inform the host
 system of the selection status of the drive.

 The DRIVE SELECTED line is driven by a TTL open collector driver.
 This signal will go active when the proper DRIVE SELECT line is
 active. The DRIVE SELECT X line at J1/P1 is activated by the host
 system.

 Drive Select jumpers on the shunt block are all shorted when shipped.
 Dipswitches and pins will have only Drive Select 1 selected. Outputs
 are not active until the drive is selected. Pin groups 1-16, 5-12,
 6-11, 7-10, and 8-9 control the Drive Select function. The function
 desired is left shorted; the others must be opened.

                                  ations with no signals required on
                                  the interface upon power up. This
                                  is normally used in the Priam
                                  factory to provide dynamic exercise
                                  of the during manufacturing burn-in.

 Auto Access is also referred to as "Self Test"


 The following additional options are implemented by pads (J12) on the
 Data PCB near interface connector J2.

       Power Sequencing
       Non-Multiplexed Index
       Write Protect
       Radial Seek Complete
       Grounding


 J12  Power Sequencing (PS)
 --------------------------
 A trace pad (J12-1) is aviable which, when shorted to DC ground, will
 inhibit starting of the DC spin motor, even if DC voltages are
 applied. When not connected to ground, the drive will sequence up
 normally. This can be used in multiple drive installations to mini-
 mize in-rush motor start currents on the +12V line. The function can
 be implemented by connection of an external wire, or bridging the
 trace to one of the unused pins on the interface connectors. Ground
 connections are available at J12.

 J12  Non-Multiplexed Index (NMI)
 --------------------------------
 This trace pad (J12-5) can be connected on the J2 interface to
 provide an Index signal even when the drive is not selected. This
 signal is not driven by a line driver and may not meet cable length
 specifications.

 J12  Write Protect (WP)
 -----------------------
 A pad (J12-13) is available which can be used to inhibit write opera-
 tions on the drive when shorted to DC ground. If desired, an external
 switch can be connected to the pad, providing a manual write protect
 function. Ground connections are available at J12.

 J12  Radial Seek Complete (SC)
 ------------------------------
 This trace pad (J12-8) can be connected to a spare pin on the J2
 interface to provide a seek complete signal even if the drive is not
 selected. This is useful in some applications to enhance multiple
 seek overlap functions. This signal is not driven by a line driver
 and may not meet cable length specifications.

 Recommended orientation is either vertical on either side or
 horizontal with PCB down. In the final mounting configuration, ensure
 that operation of the four shock mounts is not inhibited.


 Shipping Damage Inspection
 --------------------------
 Priam disk drives are packaged to withstand normal handling in
 reusable shipping containers. It is the customer's responsibility to
 notify the carrier if shipping damage should occur to a drive.

 Note: When handling the drive while still in the shipping container,
 ensure that the container remains in the upright position indicated
 by the attached labels.

 Do not place drives in vertical positions closer than 2 to 3 inches
 apart to avoid hitting and breaking components.

 Shock and Vibration Precautions
 -------------------------------
 The drives must be handled in such a manner as not to exceed the Non-
 Operational Shock and Vibration limits.


 Mounting Holes
 --------------
 Eight mounting holes, four on the bottom and two on each side, are
 provided for mounting the drive in an enclosure. The size and
 location of these holes, are identical to the industry standard mini-
 floppy drive.

 J1/P1 Connector - Control Signals
 ---------------------------------
 Connection of J1 is through a 34-pin edge connector. The pins are
 numbered 1 through 34 with the even pins located on the component
 side of the PCB. Pin 2 is labeled. The recommended mating connector
 for P1 is AMP ribbon connector P/N 88373-3 or Molex 15-35-1341. All
 odd pins are ground.


 J2/P2 Connector - Data Signals
 ------------------------------
 Connection to J2 is through a 20-pin edge connector. The pins are
 numbered 1 through 20 with the even pins located on the component
 side of the PCB. The recommended mating connector for P2 is AMP
 ribbon connector P/N 88373-6, or Molex P/N 15-35-1201. Pin 2 is
 labeled.

 Data Transfer Lines
 -------------------
 All lines associated with the transfer of data between the drive and
 the host system are differential in nature and may not be multi-
 plexed. These lines are provided at the J2/P2 connectors on all
 drives.

 Two pairs of balanced signals are used for the transfer of data:
 WRITE DATA and READ DATA.

 Flat ribbon or twisted pair
 Maximum 20 feet
 Note: Any EIA RS 422 Driver/Receiver pair will interface.

 Faceplate
 ---------
 The faceplate is for cosmetic purposes only, serving no structural
 requirement, and can be easily removed. Remove the four screw
 adjacent to the side frames and disconnect the light emitting diode.
 The recommended mating plug for J7 is AMP P/N 640442-2.


 Grounding
 ---------
 As shipped, the printed circuit board DC logic ground is connected to
 the drive frame through the Head/Disk Assembly by a shorting plug
 installed in location J12, connecting pin 15 with pin 16. In some
 installations, disconnecting the PCB logic ground from the side frame
 may give better results, depending on overall system grounding and
 noise level.

 General Operation
 -----------------
 The V100 Series drives consist of read/write, head positioning and
 control electronics, rotary voice coil actuator, media, air
 filtration system, and disk spin motor.

 These components perform the following functions:
 1. Interpret and generate control signals.

 2. Position and maintain the heads over the desired track.

 3. Maintain precice disk rotation speed.

 4. Read and write data.

 5. Provide a contamination-free environment.


 Read/Write, Servo and Control Electronics
 -----------------------------------------
 Electronics are packaged on two printed circuit boards. The outer-
 most board, to which control and data signals are connected,
 includes:

 1. R/W circuits

 2. Interface drivers/receivers

 3. Microprocessor and associated logic

 4. Write fault detection

 5. Drive selection

 6. Optional interface functions

 7. Index circuit

 The second PCB, mounted under the top board, accepts the required DC
 voltages and performs the following functions:

 1. Disk spin motor control

 2. Head actuator positioning

 3. Tack 0 detection

 4. -10 voltage regulator

 5. Power monitoring


 Disk Defects
 ------------
 Disk defects are imperfections in the media surface. No unit will be
 shipped if surface analysis identifies more than 30, 50, 70, or 85
 total defective tracks/drive for V130, V150, V170, and V185
 respectively. Note that even at these maximum values, only 1% of the
 drive capacity is unavailable. Additionally, no defects will be
 present on cylinder 0, heads 0, 1, and 2.

 Testing for defects invilves an analysis of the total media surface
 under marginalized test conditions. Defect information is included on
 the test data sheet shipped with the drive, and on the error map
 label affixed to the drive. Format is cylinder number, head number
 and bytes from index. Location accuracy is   10 bytes.

 In a single format operation, it is probable that errors will not be
 detected on all on the locations defined. However, all should be
 considered defects and flagged by the using system to ensure long
 term data reliability.

 The use of an error correction code (ECC) rather than cyclic re-
 dundancy check (CRC) is recommended for best data integrity.

 Recording Method
 ----------------
 All models support the use of 2.7 RLL encoding in addition to MFM.
 When used with a controller utilizing RLL encoding, drive capacity
 may be expected to increase up to 50% over the values stated above.
 Note that error rate criteria may vary depending upon the type of
 RLL encoding scheme used.

 Drive Mechanism
 ---------------
 A brushless 3 phase DC drive motor rotates the spindle disk assembly
 at 3600 rpm. The spindle is driven directly with no belt or pulley
 beeing used. A crystal controlled phase lock loop maintains precise
 speed regulation. The motor and spindle are dynamically balanced to
 ensure a low vibration level. Dynamic braking is used to quickly stop
 the motor when power is removed. The base plate assembly is shock
 mounted to the side mounting frames to minimize transmission of
 vibration through the chassis or frame. Index signal is derived from
 a transducer inside the drive motor.


 Air Filtration System
 ---------------------
 The disks, read/write heads and actuator are fully enclosed in a
 module using an intergral recirculation air system and absolute
 filter to maintain a clean environment. A separate filter permits
 ambient pressure equalization without entry of contaminants.


 Positioning Mechanism
 ---------------------
 The read/write heads and servo head are mounted onto a rotary
 actuator supported by precision ball bearings. A bobbin-type voice
 coil mounted between two permanent magnets provides the driving force
 required to rotate the actuator for head positioning. Chrash stops
 are provided to protect the head assemblies should a malfunction
 cause the actuator to lose control. When the drive is powered down,
 the actuator is driven to a head landing zone on the inner diameter
 of the disk. Simultaneously, the actuator is automatically locked
 over the landing zone to prevent possible head/media damage when the
 drive is subjected to transport shock or movement around the office.


 Automatic Head Actuator Lock
 ----------------------------
 This automatic lock requires no action by the user. When the drive is
 powered down, the actuator is automatically locked to prevent
 possible head/media damage when shipping and handling the drive.

 Drive Selection
 ---------------
 Drive selection occurs when one of the DRIVE SELECT lines is
 activated. Only the selected drive will respond to the input signals,
 and only that drive's output signals are then gated to the controller
 interface.


 Recording Media
 ---------------
 The recording media consists of a carbon overcoated thin film metal
 magnetic coating on either side of a 130-millimeter (5.12 inch)
 diameter aluminium substrate. In the V100 Series, there are several
 such disks in the sealed head-disk assembly, with up to seven
 surfaces used for data and one surface used for prerecorded servo in-
 formation.

 Input Buffers
 -------------
 The ST412/506 Interface control signals from the controller are input
 to the microprocessor and the PLA via schmitt trigger input buffers.


 Output Drivers
 --------------
 The ST415/506 control signals from disk drive are output via open-
 collector drivers. Each driver is capable of sinking a maximum of 48
 milliamperes at its low level (true state) with a maximum of 0.4
 measured at the driver. When the driver is in its high level (false
 state), the driver transistor is off. The output control signals are
 gated by a Drive Select line developed from the Drive Select input
 DS0-L.


 Control Input Lines
 -------------------
 The control input signals are of two types: those to be multiplexed
 in a multiple drive system, and those intended to do the
 multiplexing. The control input signals to be multiplexed are WRITE
 GATE, HEAD SELECT, STEP and DIRECTION IN. The signal to do multi-
 plexing is DRIVE SELECT 1, DRIVE SELECT 2, DRIVE SELECT 3, or
 DRIVE SELECT 4.

 The input lines have the following electrical specifications:

        TRUE  0.0 VDC to 0.4 VDC @ 1 = 48mA (max.), Active, Logic 1
        FALSE 2.5 VDC to 5.25 VDC @ 1 = +250 A (OPEN COLLECTOR),
                                        Inactive, Logic 0


 Write Gate
 ----------
 The active state of this signal, or low lwvel, enables write data to
 be written on the disk. The inactive state of this signal, or high
 level, enables data to be transferred from the drive.


 Control Output Lines
 --------------------
 The output control signals are driven with an open collector output
 stage capable of sinking a maximum of 48mA at low level or true state
 with maximum voltages of 0.4V measured at the driver. When the line
 driver is in the high level or false state, the driver transistor is
 off and the collector leakage current is a maximum of 250 A.

 All J1 output lines are enabled by their respective DRIVE SELECT
 line.


 Reliability Specifications
 --------------------------
 Mean-time-between-failures (MTBF)    More than 20,000 power on hours
 Mean-time-to-repair (MTTR)           less than 30 minutes
 Component life                       5 years


 Shipping Requirement
 --------------------
 The actuator is automatically locked whenever the drive is powered
 down. When shipped as a single unit, the original shipping container
 should be used. The container is designed to ensure no drive damage
 will occur if the container is dropped from a height of 42" or less.
