Notes

Drive Addressing and Interface Termination



ID0, ID1, ID2 SCSI Address Jumpers
  The SCSI ID (drive address) jumpers are identified as ID0, ID1, and ID2.
  ID selection is binary, as shown in the table below.

SCSI
Address
Jumpers
ID2 ID1 ID0
0 out out out
1 out out in
2 out in out
3 out in in
4 in out out
5 in out in
6 in in out
7 in in in

  For multiple drive installations, on one Host Adapter, each drive must
  have a unique address. Drives are configured as SCSI ID 7 at the factory.

RN6 Interface Terminator
  The Interface Terminator factory installed at RN6 provides proper termination
  for the interface lines. When daisy-chaining multiple drives, leave the terminator
  installed only in the last physical drive (or drives) on the daisy chain cable; remove
  the terminator from each of the other drives (or the host computer).

Bus Termination Power Option
  A jumper is installed at W1, at W2, or at W2 and W12 to select the source of terminator
  power (+5V) for the SCSI Bus terminator packs on the device electronics board.

  DO NOT INSTALL JUMPERS AT BOTH W1 AND W12

  When a jumper is installed at W1 (the factory default configuration), the drive
  provides terminator power to it's on-board terminators.

  When a jumper is installed at W2 , terminator power is is provided by the host
  system via the interface cable J1, pin 26 (TERMPWR).

  When a jumper is install at both W2 and W12, the drive provides terminator
  power to its on-board terminators and also to the SCSI bus via interface cable
  J1, pin 26(TERMPWR).

Frame Ground Options
  Jumper W11 selects the frame ground option.

  When W11 is installed, the drive's frame is connected to frame ground.

  When a jumper is not installed at W11 (the factory default configuration), frame
  ground is not connected to logic ground.

Spindle Control Options
  A jumper bridging pins 7 and 8 of J2 (the 4th set of pins) is used to select the
  spindle control option.

  When a jumper is installed, the drive must wait for an interface Start Unit command
  to start the spindle motor.

  When a jumper is not installed (the factory default configuration), the drive
  automatically starts the spindle motor at power-on.

Write Protect Option
  A jumper bridging pins 11 and 12 of J2 (the 6th set of pins) is used to select the
  write protect option.

  When a jumper is installed, the drive is write protected. CAUTION: The drive can
  still be formatted.

  When a jumper is not installed, (the factory default configuration), the drive is not
  write protected.

Bus Parity Option
  A jumper bridging pins 13 and 14 of J2(7th set of pins) is used to select the parity
  check option.

  When a jumper is not installed, (the factory default configuration), the drive generates
  but does not detect parity.

  When a jumper is installed, the drive generates parity and enables parity detection.

Spindle Synchronization Option
  The Rotational Position Locking field (MODE SELECT command, Page Code 04h)
  is used to specify spindle synchronization operation; see document #110366
  (Scsi Implementation in Micropolis "MZR" Products) and ANSI SCSI Standard.

  Unsynchronized: If the drive is set to Unsynchronized (PRL=00b), it ignores the
  SLAVE SYNC signal.

  Slave: If the drive is set to Slave (RPL=01b), it does not generate the MASTER SYNC
  signal or the SLAVE SYNC signal but synchronizes its index to the SLAVE SYNC
  signal (J2,pin 20) supplied by an external source.

  Master: If the drive is set to MASTER (RPL=10b), it generates the SLAVE SYNC
  output signal (j2,pin 20) for use directly by the slave drives.

  Master Control: If the drive is set to Master Control (RPL=11b), it generates
  the MASTER SYNC signal (j2, pin 20). This output is used by the controller to
  generate the SLAVE SYNC signal (J2, pin 20) for the slave drives.
