12 1.7.9 Medalist 2132 Product Manual, January 1997 Shock and vibration All shock and vibration specifications apply when the drive is mounted as recommended in Section 2.5. on page 20, with the input levels measured at the drive mounting screws. Shock measurements are based on an 11 msec, half sine wave shock pulse, not to be repeated more than twice per second. During normal operating shock and vibration, there is no physical damage to the drive or performance degradation.
Medalist 2132 Product Manual, January 1997 13 1.9 Reliability The MTBF and contact start-stop specifications assume nominal power at sea level with an ambient temperature of 25°C. Nonrecoverable errors 1 per 1013 bits read MTBF 300,000 power-on hours Contact start-stop (CSS) 40,000 cycles MTTR 30 minutes Service life 5 years 1.10 Auto-park Upon power-down, the read/write heads automatically move to the shipping zone. The heads park inside the maximum data cylinder.
14 Medalist 2132 Product Manual, January 1997 1.13 FCC verification The ST32123A drive is intended to be contained solely within a personal computer or similar enclosure (not attached to an external device). As such, a drive is considered to be a subassembly even when individually marketed to the customer. As a subassembly, no Federal Communications Commission authorization, verification or certification of the device is required. Seagate Technology, Inc.

Medalist 2132 Product Manual, January 1997 3.3.1 27 Identify Drive command (ECH) The Identify Drive command transfers information about the drive to the host after power up. The data is organized as a single 512-byte block. The block’s contents are shown in the table below. All reserved bits or words must be set to zero. Parameters listed with an “x” are drive-specific or vary with the state of the drive. The drive parameters are listed in the table below.

30 3.3.3 Medalist 2132 Product Manual, January 1997 Set Features command (EFH) The host uses the Set Features command (EFH) to establish parameters that affect the execution of certain drive features. To use the command: 1. Write the Feature value to the Features register. 2. Write the Set Features command to the command register. Note. If the value in the Features register is not supported or is invalid, the drive posts an Aborted Command error.
Medalist 2132 Product Manual, January 1997 3.3.3.1 31 PIO and DMA Data-Transfer Modes You can set the multiword DMA mode and identify the PIO data-transfer mechanism and transfer mode with the Set Features command. To set the multiword DMA mode: 1. Write Set Features command value 03H (Set Data Transfer mode) to the Features register. 2. Write a transfer types value to the Sector Count register. The upper 5 bits of this value define the type of data transfer, and the lower 3 bits encode the mode value.
32 Medalist 2132 Product Manual, January 1997 If the drive does not support a commanded mode, the drive returns an Aborted Command error. If the drive receives a Set Features command with a Mechanism and mode value of 00000 001 and the drive supports disabling of IORDY, then the drive sets its default PIO transfer mode and disables IORDY. 3.3.
Medalist 2132 Product Manual, January 1997 33 When the Read Multiple command is issued, the Sector Count register contains the number of sectors (not the number of blocks or the block count) requested. If the number of requested sectors is not evenly divisible by the block count, as many full blocks as possible are transferred followed by the final, partial block.
34 Medalist 2132 Product Manual, January 1997 Disc errors encountered during Write Multiple commands are posted after the attempted disc write of the block or partial block. The Write command ends with the sector in error, even if it was in the middle of a block. Subsequent blocks are not transferred in the event of an error. Interrupts are generated when DRQ is set at the beginning of each block or partial block.
Medalist 2132 Product Manual, January 1997 35 3.5 Drive Security Commands The drive security commands provide a password-based security system to prevent unauthorized access to a disc drive. During manufacturing, the master password, SEAGATE, is set for the drive, and the lock function is disabled. The system manufacturer or dealer may set a new user password using the Security Set Password command (F1H) without enabling the lock function.
36 Medalist 2132 Product Manual, January 1997 3.7 ECC performance tests The drive does not report ECC errors when it performs on-the-fly error correction. This allows the drive to correct the data without sacrificing performance. Some older drive diagnostic utilities test the drive’s ability to apply ECC by creating small data errors and then checking to see if these errors are reported.
