PRODUCT DESCRIPTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ZeusIOPS 3.5-inch Fibre Channel Solid State Drive (SSD) incorporates advanced Single-Level Cell (SLC) NAND flash memory technology to deliver a state-of-the-art, non-volatile mass storage device. The interface is fully SCSI compliant and conforms to the same mechanical and mounting requirements as a standard rotating disk drive. The SSD is an easy-to-install, drop-in replacement for standard SCSI-compliant hard disk drives (HDDs).
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS ENDURANCE The useful life of the flash media is limited by the number of write/erase operations that can be performed on the media. Typically, the write/erase cycles for flash media ranges between 100,000 and 300,000. To extend the life of the SSD, special Wear-Leveling and Bad-Block Mapping algorithms are integrated into the firmware, increasing the overall endurance rating of the drive to 2,000,000 Write/Erase cycles.
MOUNT TIME The amount of time required to initialize and mount a ZeusIOPS SSD varies according to the operating system (Windows®, Linux®, etc.) and the storage capacity of the drive. ACCESS TIME Unlike a magnetic rotating disk, the ZeusIOPS SSD has no moving read/write head or platter. The access time ranges from 20μsec to 120μsec. The actual access time may be affected by the operating system and the storage capacity of the drive.
ERASE TIMES The time required to erase a ZeusIOPS SSD varies according to the total capacity of the drive. The Erase utility will erase every physical memory storage location that can be accessed by the host interface. It will also destroy any saved messages. Once initiated, the SSD will be offline and the host will be unable to access the drive. Once the erase operation is completed the SSD will be restarted. If power ceases during this operation, the operation will be restarted when power is restored.
CACHE OPERATIONS The ZeusIOPS SSD is configured with 512 MB of cache. Write data can be flushed to the cache with the Synchronize Cache command. HOT PLUGGING The ZeusIOPS 3.5-inch Fibre Channel SSD can be inserted or removed from a loop during operation. This capability is known as “hot plugging”. Fibre Channel error recovery procedures will recover from any errors introduced by hot plugging. Whenever a drive is hot plugged, sync is detected lost due to the removal or insertion of the drive into the loop.
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS POWER SUPPLY The following voltage specification applies to the drive power connector. Connections to the drive should be made in a safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuit. The drive does not use the +5V supply input pins available on a typical 40-Pin SCA-2 connector. The drive uses the +12V supply input. The 5V ground pins are connected to the common ground plane within the unit.
GROUNDING Signal and chassis ground are not connected together in the drive. To ensure minimal EM emissions, the user should provide maximum surface contact area when connecting the drive to chassis ground. FAULT LED OUT SIGNAL The Fault LED Out signal is driven by an open collector driver capable of sinking 30mA. It is driven low when an internal fault is detected along with both Enable Bypass signals.
SEL_ID FUNCTION The SEL_n (TTL compatible) inputs (defined when -Parallel ESI is de-asserted) provide a binary value of a loop identifier to the drive. These seven (7) signals define 128 possible values and are directly translated into an 8 bit hard Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (AL_PA). Only AL_PAs with neutral disparity are valid values. The drive will attempt to acquire this hard AL_PA during the LIHA phase of the Loop Initialization Process (LIP).

Table 8 summarizes the signals. Table 8.
-DRIVE PRESENT This signal is connected to the ground plane of the drive. The backplane can use this signal to detect the presence of the drive. DEV_CTRL_CODE_X The DEV_CTRL_CODE_2 through DEV_CTRL_CODE_0 signals provide a binary code to the drive to control functions such as FC link rate, Power Failure Warning (PFW) and Hard Reset. The control function is either identified by a code or a sequence of codes on the DEV_CTRL_CODE signals.
INTERFACE SPECIFICATIONS SSD OPERATION The ZeusIOPS Fibre Channel SSD is comprised of the following primary functional blocks: the SCA2 interface connector, a Host FPGA, which contains a processor, NAND FPGA, NAND flash memory, and DRAM. Read/write data transfer requests are initiated by the host via the SCSI bus interface. Once received, the Host FPGA controller, under the direction of the microcontroller, processes the request.
SCSI INTERFACE BLOCK This section provides information on the SCA-2 connector of the ZeusIOPS Fibre Channel SSD. SCA-2 INTERFACE CONNECTOR The 3.5-inch SSD is equipped with a 40-pin SCA-2 bus connector. The connector is located on the underside of the drive. DC power and bus traffic is supplied through a non-shielded 40-conductor I/ O cable. Figure 2 shows the location of Pins 1, 20, 21 and 40 relative to the connector housing. See Connector Pinout on page 19. Figure 2.
CONNECTOR LOCATION Figure 3 shows the relative location of the SCA-2 connector on the rear of the SSD. Please note the location of Pin 1 relative to the connector. Figure 3. Relative SCA-2 Connector Location ZeusIOPS 3.5-Inch Fibre Channel Solid State Drive Product Manual Rev. 1.
CONNECTOR PINOUT This section provides the pinout of the 40-pin SCA-2 connector, the pinout signal characteristics, and the use of the pinout signals with respect to the SSD. Refer to Table 10 for the 40-pin SCA-2 connector pin-out. Table 10.
FC-AL FEATURES LOOP CONNECTIONS The ZeusIOPS 3.5-inch Fibre Channel SSD features two independent FC-AL ports. These ports may be connected in different loops or the same loop. In addition, the drive can send transfers while receiving frames on both ports. This capability is called “full-duplex”. If the ports are 1) connected in different loops, 2) hard addressing is used, and 3) the drive interface address is selected through the interface connector, then both ports will seek the same loop address.
FCP-SCSI COMMANDS SUPPORTED SCSI COMMANDS Table 12 summarizes the SCSI commands supported by the ZeusIOPS SSD. Command queuing is supported with all tag types (Head of Queue, Ordered Queue and Simple Queue). A maximum of 256 commands may be queued against each fibre channel port. This section only provides an overview of the SCSI commands supported by the ZeusIOPS SSD. For more information, please consult the SCSI specification, Fibre Channel Protocol - 3 (FCP-3), Project T10/1560D, ANSI INCITS 416-2006.
56h Reserve (10). Obsolete, but supported. 57h Release (10). Obsolete, but supported. 5Eh Persistent Reserve In 5Fh Persistent Reserve Out REPORT LUNS (A0h) The REPORT LUNS command will request that the peripheral device logical unit inventory accessible to the I_T nexus be sent to the application client. The logical unit inventory is a list that shall include the logical unit numbers of all logical units having a Peripheral Qualifier value of 000b.
TEST UNIT READY COMMAND (00h) The TEST UNIT READY command provides a method to check if the logical unit is ready. This is not a request for a self-test. If the logical unit would accept an appropriate medium-access command without returning CHECK CONDITION status, this command shall return a GOOD status.

FIBRE CHANNEL STANDARD The Fibre Channel standard has coined various terms that are important to know when using the ZeusIOPS SSD. This section will present the basic terms in context to help provide an intuitive understanding of the Fibre Channel interface. FIBRE CHANNEL ARBITRATED LOOP The “Fibre” or “link” refers to the copper or optical cable that connects two Fibre Channel devices via their ports. A device, known as a “node”, can have more than one port.
An Arbitrated Loop has certain rules: 54 1 Each port on the loop has an Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (AL-PA) that is set on the “backplane” or the board to where the device is connected. Once set, the port attached to the backplane inherits the AL-PA. 2 The AL-PA must have “neutral disparity”, i.e., the number of binary 0s and 1s in the AL-PA are equal when 10-bit encoded. Out of the 127 addresses, one is reserved on the loop for the fabric switch, leaving 126 possible AL-PAs.
FABRIC NODE CONNECTION The ZeusIOPS SSD can also be connected to a “fabric” where any node on the fabric can connect to any other node in the fabric. See Figure 5. Figure 5. Fabric Node Connection ZeusIOPS 3.5-Inch Fibre Channel Solid State Drive Product Manual Rev. 1.
An Arbitrated Loop has the following states: Monitoring Each port acts as a repeater while listening for further instructions. Arbitration The port requests to own the loop. Open The port wins arbitration and connects to another device. Closed The port relinquishes control of the loop and the loop is in the process of returning to a monitoring state. A node can be “hot plugged” where it is inserted or removed from the loop. When hot plugged, the loop loses “sync” and must “reinitialize”.
The Fibre Channel standard is structured into FCP Function Levels, where “FCP” is “Fibre Channel Protocol”. There is a hierarchy of function levels, written FC-0 to FC-4, and on top of those lies the Upper Level Protocols or ULP. Table 32 summarizes each FCP level. Table 32. FCP Level FCP Function Levels Description FC-0 This level defines the cable, transceivers, and connector. For example, the ZeusIOPS 3.5-inch Fibre Channel SSD uses copper cable and a 40-Pin SCA-2 connector.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS GENERAL PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS MATERIALS All acceptable enclosure materials have been independently tested by an NRTL and are certified to comply with the following standards: • ANSI/UL60950-1-2002 • CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.60950-1-03 DRIVE ASSEMBLY WEIGHT The weight of a ZeusIOPS SSD varies according to the specific set of design characteristics of the drive.
EXTERIOR DIMENSIONS ZeusIOPS SSD internal components are housed within precision machined aluminum alloy enclosures. The overall dimensions for the 3.5-inch form factor are illustrated in Figure 7. Figure 7. ZeusIOPS 3.5-Inch Dimensions ZeusIOPS 3.5-Inch Fibre Channel Solid State Drive Product Manual Rev. 1.
ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS OVERVIEW ZeusIOPS SSDs are subjected to a series of environmental tests to validate the portability and suitability of the SSDs for operation in harsh and mobile conditions. The SSDs operate without degradation within the ambient temperature, relative humidity and altitude ranges as specified in the following sections. TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS Temperature parameters for the SSDs are divided into Operating, Storage and Case Temperature Conditions.
MAXIMUM COMPONENT TEMPERATURES Critical drive component temperatures must be kept within certain limits to prevent damage to the SSD. The approximate component locations within the drive are illustrated in Figure 8. Table 36 lists the maximum component temperatures. Forced air cooling will be required in most applications to ensure optimal conditions. Figure 8. Table 36.
INSTALLATION SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS There is a risk of electrocution! Use extreme caution when handling the solid state drive and while connecting it to a power source. Observe all applicable electrical safety rules while installing the solid state drive. Make sure to read and thoroughly understand this section before attempting to install the drive. SCSI CONNECTIONS The ZeusIOPS 3.
For host systems that are not DMP capable, having two paths from the same host machine to the same drive can cause problems. For example, if the two channels are connected to the same host machine when running an operating system that does not support DMP, two separate disks will be reported by the operating system even though both reported disks are the same physical storage. This can cause corruption to occur if the drive is subsequently accessed down both channels.
POWER-ON FAULT CONDITIONS The fault codes listed in Table 37 indicate that a fault has been detected during the power-on sequence. As a result, the unit is in a non-operational state and remedial action is required to replace the unit. Power-on fault codes are indicated as a series of flashes. The fault light will illuminate for 0.25 seconds (250mS), then turn off for 0.25 seconds (250mS), followed by a 2 second off interval.
OPERATIONAL FAULT CODES The following codes indicate that a fault has been detected during drive operation. The drive will remain operational despite the fault. The drive should be replaced at the earliest possible opportunity. Operational fault codes are indicated as a series of flashes. The fault light will illuminate for 1 second, then off for 1 second, followed by a 10 second off delay.
SINGLE CHANNEL MODE FOR EARLY REVISION DRIVES On early revisions of the drive, JP1 did not exist. These drives are identified by having a serial number of “50” or less and only have an 8-way right-angled manufacturing connector. For this revision of drive, the feature is enabled by setting bit 6 of the LOOP_ID to “1”. The LOOP_ID is set using the SELECT_ID pins on the SCA-2 connector within the chassis to which the SSD is connected. See the SEL_ID Function on page 30.
DRIVE ORIENTATION The SSD can be installed in any number of orientations within the enclosure. The drive will operate and meet all the requirements as outlined in this specification regardless of the mounting orientation. See Figure 9. Figure 9. Possible Drive Orientations ZeusIOPS 3.5-Inch Fibre Channel Solid State Drive Product Manual Rev. 1.
COOLING REQUIREMENTS If necessary to maintain the required operating temperature range, the host enclosure may remove heat by conduction, convection, or other forced air flow. The suggested air flow patterns are shown in Figure 10. Figure 10. 68 Suggested Air Flow Patterns for Cooling ZeusIOPS 3.5-Inch Fibre Channel Solid State Drive Product Manual Rev. 1.
MOUNTING HOLE DIMENSIONS Figure 11 shows relative locations of the mounting holes. Careful attention should be made to the length of the mounting screws and the recommended torque to prevent damage to the enclosure; the maximum screw penetration is 5 mm. The mounting screw threads are M3 and the recommended torque is 0.5 Nm to 0.8 Nm. Figure 11. Exterior Mounting Specifications Underside Mounting Holes Side Mounting Holes (4x) M3 Screws (6x) M3 Screws Maximum Depth: 5.0mm Maximum Depth: 5.
DRIVE INSTALLATION Electro Static Discharge or ESD can seriously damage the electronic components of the host system and solid state drive. It is very important to discharge any static electricity before you begin the installation procedure. You can touch an unpainted, grounded metallic surface to discharge any static charges that may be present on your body or clothing. As an alternative, you can also use an ESD protective wrist strap.
OPERATING SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS The ZeusIOPS SSDs are compatible with Microsoft Windows® and alternative operating systems. The SSDs are low-level formatted at the factory. However, the SSDs must be partitioned and highlevel formatted. The SSDs can be formatted as boot drives or data storage drives using any standard disk partitioning and formatting utility.
SSD MANAGEMENT UTILITY The firmware and hardware on a ZeusIOPS SSD can be upgraded in the field. The drive management utility, “Giddy”, uses signed Java applet technology and the Java native interface to maintain the SSD. Table 40 lists the supported operating systems, Java Runtime Environments (JREs) and compatible web browsers. The documentation for the Management utility is found at http:// www.gnutek.co.uk/giddy.pdf.
NAND FLASH SUPPORT The device will support multiple mutually agreed upon and approved NAND flash memory vendors prior to release to manufacturing for proposed capacities in the design without changes to the hardware or firmware. STEC develops firmware to support a wide range of NAND flash versions and vendors. Please contact STEC for a list of supported flash and flash vendors. DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE The computer or system manufacturer is responsible for providing any diagnostic software or utilities.
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE MARKING, APPROVALS AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION The SSDs will have the following marks, approvals and documentation as outlined in Table 41. Table 41. Mark/Approval Regulatory Marks and Documentation Documentation Mark CE Electrical equipment sold in the European Economic Area (EEA) will comply with the requirements of CAN/CSA- Yes C22.2 No. 60950-1-03 and be marked (CE) accordingly.
RADIO FREQUENCY EMISSIONS The ZeusIOPS SSD has passed radiated emissions testing (10 meter chamber) with a minimum margin of 4dB below the EN55022 radiated emissions limits in all applicable customer platforms, without any required changes to the system platforms. Emissions testing in a 3 meter chamber for over 1GHz per the FCC limit for Class B was performed up to 2GHz with the -4dB margin relative to the FCC Class B limit.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) The SSDs will meet the ESD limits specified in the 61000-4-2 guidelines and the customer’s enhanced ESD procedure. The specification will determine whether the contact or air discharge method should be used. Performance degradation is defined as a decreased throughput rate. No data errors are allowed. Table 43 lists the ESD requirements. Table 43.
