Component Design Life 5 years (minimum) Component design life is defined as a. ) the time period before identified wear-out mechanisms impact the failure rate, or b. ) the time period up to the wear-out point when useful component life expires. 4. 11 4. 11. 1 EMC/EMI Radiated Electromagnetic Field Emissions - EMC Compliance The hard disk drive mechanism is designed as a subassembly for installation into a suitable enclosure and is therefore not subject to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules (47CFR15) or the Canadian Department of Communications Radio Interference Regulations. Although not required, the disk mechanism has been tested within a suitable end-use product and found to comply with Class B limits of the FCC Rules and Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications. The CE Marking indicates conformity with the European Union Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC) when the disk mechanism is installed in a typical personal computer. Maxtor recommends that testing and analysis for EMC compliance be performed with the disk mechanism installed within the user's end-use application.

Le present appareil numerique n'emet pas de bruit radioelectriques depassant les limites applicables aux appareils numeriques de Class B prescrites dans le reglement sur le brouillage radioelectrique edicte pa le ministere des communications du Canada. 4. 12 Safety Regulatory Compliance All Maxtor hard drives comply with relevant product safety standards such as CE, CUL, TUV and UL rules and regulations. As delivered, Maxtor hard drives are designed for system integration before they are used. 4-8 Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 60/80/120/160/200GB AT Chapter 5 ATA BUS INTERFACE AND ATA COMMANDS This chapter describes the interface between Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 hard disk drives and the ATA bus. The commands that are issued from the host to control the drive are listed, as well as the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the interface. 5. 1 INTRODUCTION Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 hard disk drives use the standard ATA/ ATAPI interface. Support of various options in the standard are explained in the following sections. 5. 2 5. 2. 1 MECHANICAL INTERFACE Signal Cable and Connector The Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 hard disk drive contains a 40-pin unitized connector for both signal and power connections as well as configuration jumpers. The dimensions and specifications of the unitized connector comply with Annex. The Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 drives require the use of an 80 conductor cable (ATA/ATAPI-6, Annex. A, Figure A. 4 and description) to support the drive's Ultra DMA capability. 5. 3 5. 3. 1 5. 3. 1. 1 ELECTRICAL INTERFACE ATA Bus Interface Electrical Characteristics Signals on the ATA interface are assigned to connector pins according to Annex. A in the ATA/ATAPI-6 standard for the 80 conductor cable assembly. The signaling protocol complies with clause 9 and signal timing complies with clause 10 of the standard. The Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 hard disk drives support all Ultra DMA Data Transfer modes (0 - 5) defined in the ATA/ATAPI-6 standard. In addition, these drives support Mode 6, and can send and receive data at the full 133MB/s transfer rate. Hosts may assert the RESET- signal for longer than the minimum. When Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 60/80/120/160/200GB AT 5-1 ATA Bus Interface and ATA Commands power is applied with RESET- asserted, the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 disk media will not begin to spin up until RESET- is negated. This may reduce maximum current consumption for the overall system. 5. 4 REGISTER ADDRESS DECODING The Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 hard disk drives allow their host systems to address the full set of command and control registers as specified in clause 7 of the ATA/ATAPI-6 standard. 5. 5 5. 5. 1 COMMAND INTERFACE General Feature Set The µProcessor, Disk Controller, and ATA Interface electronics are contained in a proprietary ASIC developed by Maxtor. 5. 5. 2 Supported Commands The Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 hard disk drives support all the mandatory commands from the general feature set for devices not supporting the Packet command feature set. Refer to the ATA/ATAPI-6 standard for a detailed description of these commands. The IDENTIFY DRIVE command, however, is elaborated in the section "Identify Drive Command" on page 5. [. . . ] Each sector is preceded by ID data known as a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 60/80/120/160/200GB AT G-7 Glossary SUBSTRATE ­ The material the disk platter is made of beneath the magnetic coating. Hard disks are generally made of aluminum or magnesium alloy (or glass, for optical disks) while the substrate of floppies is usually mylar. SURFACE ­ The top or bottom side of the platter which is coated with the magnetic material for recording data. On some drives one surface may be reserved for positioning information. U UNFORMATTED CAPACITY ­ The total number of bytes of data that could be fit onto a disk. [. . . ]
