DC power connector

The DC power connector is designed to mate with AMP part 1-480424 (using AMP pins P/N 350078-4). Equivalent connectors may be used. Pin assignments are shown below, viewed from the end of the drive.

IDE interface connector

The drive uses single-ended drivers and receivers. The connector is designed to mate with 3M part 3417-7000 or equivalent.

Pin locations

Note: It is intended that the drive should only be in electrical contact with the chassis of the PC at a designated set of mounting holes. Other electrical contact may degrade error rate performance. As a result of this it is recommended that there should be no metal contact to the drive except at the mounting holes or the side rails into which the mounting holes are tapped.

Cabling

The maximum cable length from the host system to the drive, plus the circuit pattern length inside the host systems, must not exceed 18 inches (45.7 cm).

For higher data transfer application (>8.3 MB/sec) a consideration in system design is recommended to reduce cable noise and/or cross-talk, such as; shorter cable, bus termination, shielded cable, etc.

Notes:
  1. "O" designates an output from the drive.
  2. "I" designates an input from the drive.
  3. "I/O" designates an input/output common.
  4. "*" these signal lines are redifined during the Ultra DMA protocol to provide special functions as detailed in the table below.
  5. "**" this signal complies with ATA-2 specifications.

Interface


The interface conforms to the working document of information technology - AT attachment with Packet Interface Extension.

Check power mode
Check Power Mode command returns FFh to the sector count register when the drive is in idle mode. This command does not support 80h as the return value.

Hard reset
Hard reset response is identical to a soft reset response with the following exception: in a hard reset, the drive goes through the Master/Slave handshake to determine if a slave is present, in a soft reset this handshake does not occur. In a hard reset the Master drive looks at the DASP line to determine if it is asserted indicating a slave is present. The Master drive also checks the PDIAG line to see if the Slave has passed its internal diagnostics.
