Jumpers: Quantum Atlas� 10K 36GB SCSI Hard Disk Drive User's Guide


The Quantum Atlas 10K hard disk drive has two jumper locations provided for configuration options in a system. The following features are jumper selectable:
 

  • Termination Power
  • SCSI ID
  • Write Protection
  • Spin Up
  • Remote LED Display
Note: The Atlas 10K hard disk drive does not support on-board SCSI termination.

Delay Spin (DS), Stagger Spin (SS)

Quantum Atlas 10K drives have three Spin Up modes:

Option 1:  Spin up immediately when power is applied

Verify that no jumper is installed across pin pair 11 / 12 (GND / Spin Delay) of the Secondary Option connector.

Option 2:  Spin up after a predetermined delay following power on

Install jumpers across pin pair 11 / 12 (GND / Spin Delay) and across pin pair 21 / 22 (GND / Stagger Spin) on the Secondary Option Connector. Set the delay parameters with the MODE SELECT command, Quantum (Vendor) Special Function Control Page (39h). The delay is equal to a user specified multiplier, multiplied by the numerical SCSI ID of the drive.  This will give a staggered spin-up in multiple drive installations.

Option 3  Spin up on START STOP UNIT command

Install a jumper across pin pair 11 / 12 (GND / Delay Spin) and remove any jumper from pin pair 21 / 22 (GND / Stagger Spin), if a jumper is installed there, on the Secondary Option Connector.

Enable Narrow Mode (Force 8)

Wide Data Transfer (WDTR) negotiations can be limited to 8-bit responses either by setting the Force 8 bit of the Quantum (Vendor) Special Functions Control Page (25h) of the MODE SELECT command (15h) to 1, or by installing a jumper on pin pair 23 / 24 of the Secondary Option Connector.

Remote Busy and Fault Displays

Busy and Fault status of the drive can be monitored remotely by connecting a remote (external) Busy and/or remote Fault display LEDs to the appropriate pins on the 12-pin Option Connector or the 28-pin Secondary Option Connector.

Remote Busy LED

On the Option Connector, connect the cathode side of the Remote Busy LED to pin 8, Busy Out. Connect the anode side of the LED to pin 11, +5V.

On the Secondary Option Connector, connect the cathode side of the Remote Busy LED to pin 18, Busy Out. Connect the anode side of the LED to pin 17, +5V.

Remote Fault LED

On the Option Connector, connect the cathode side of the Remote Fault LED to pin 2, Fault LED. Connect the anode side of the LED to pin 11, +5V.

On the Secondary Option Connector, connect the cathode side of the Remote Fault LED to pin 9, Fault LED. Connect the anode side of the LED to pin 17, +5V.

Write Protection

To configure Write Protection for the drive, install a jumper across pin pair 19/20 on the Secondary Option Connector. To disable Write Protection on the drive, remove the jumper.

SCSI Bus Termination Power Jumper (TP)

To ensure that there is a sufficient level of power along the entire SCSI bus, Quantum Corporation recommends that all devices on the SCSI bus supply TERMPWR (if they are capable). SCSI devices are protected by a diode or similar semiconductor to prevent back flow of the terminator power when more than one device supplies this power.

Configure the drive to provide TERMPWR by installing a jumper across pin pair 27 / 28 on the Secondary Option Connector located on the front of the drive.

On-board Busy and Fault Displays

The drive has on-board green 'Busy' LED and a yellow 'Fault' LED.
