Jumper Setting
==============

Dual Drive Support

------------------
Two drives may be accessed via a common interface cable, using the
same range of I/O addresses. The drives are jumpered as drive 0 or 1,
and are selected by the drive select bit in the Drive/Head register
of the task file.

All Task File registers are written in parallel to both drives. The
interface processor on each drive decides whether a command written
should be executed, depending on the type of command and which drive
is selected. The drive not selected does not execute the command and
does not activate the data bus in response to host I/O reads.

A master/slave relationship exists between the two drives: drive 0 is

the master, and drive 1 the slave.

In response to the Execute Diagnostics command, both drives execute

diagnostics; the slave reports its status to the master via the
-PDIAG line. The master then combines the slave's status with its own
before reporting status to the host.

Mode Jumpers
------------
Jumpering J4.1 to J4.2 causes the 8051A to operate in the slave role.
Remove this jumper when the drive is to function as the master, or is
the only drive attached.

To emulate 2:1 interleave timing, jumper J4.3 to J4.4. This allows

compatibility with some BIOS versions which cannot support 1:1 inter-
leave transfers. For normal operation, remove this jumper.

In a two drive system, jumper J4.5 to J4.6 when the drive is

operating as the master. The jumper is not installed on a slave or
single drive.

Jumper J4.7 to J4.8 is not used, and should be not installed.

Jumpering J4.9 to J4.10 enabled the I/O Channel Ready signal onto the
interface connector, pin 27.

NOTE
The 0851A may be shipped with a jumper between J4.1 and J4.3. This
jumper has no effect, but merely provides a spare for use as
described above.

Notes On Installation
=====================

Recommended Mounting Configuration

----------------------------------
The MiniScribe 8051A quarter size drive design allows greater shock
tolerance than that afforded by larger, heavier drives.

To take full advantage of the shock mounts, provide a minimum 0.1"

clearance on both the top and sides of the drive. This clearance
allows for drive movement during acceleration.

The drive may be mounted in any attiude.

Mount the drive using size 6-32 screws with 1/8" maximum penetration.

Allow adequate ventilation to the drive to ensure reliable drive

operation over the operating temperature range.

Ground Terminal
---------------
A Ground Terminal is provided in one of these locations. Attach
ground wire (if provided with system) to the ground terminal during
installation of the drive.

Power Connector
---------------
Power is applied through J3, a 4 pin AMP connector. The recommended
mating connector is AMP P/N 1-480424-0, using pins AMP P/N 350078-4.

MINISC. 8051A PRODUCT MANUAL NO. 1136 REV. D, 04/02/90
Introduction
------------
The MiniScribe 8051A disk drive is a 41 megabyte (formatted),
half-height 3.5" random access storage device with an integrated AT
controller.
Proven microprocessor spin control and voice coil actuator ensure
high performance and reliability. Superior mechanical construction
and a sophisticated integrated PCB contribute to maintenance-free
operation throughout the life of the device.

A sealed enclosure houses heads, disks and actuator assemblies. The

enclosure contains recirculating and breather-type filters which can
supply clean air to the head and disk environment.

The drive interfaces to an 80286 or 80386 AT-type system via the

system's onboard 40 pin AT connector, or through a MiniScribe AT
interface board.

Auto Park and Head Lock

-----------------------
Immediately following power down, dynamic braking of the spinning
disks delays momentarily. This allows time for the heads to move into
the landing zone - a safe area, away from stored data.
The head actuator assembly then mechanically latches into position,
and the disks spin down.

Disk Caching
------------
A disk cache involves the temporary storage of information from the
hard disk to the faster 32K RAM.

Subsequent host requests for the same information are met more
quickly by cache memory than by repeated, direct accesses to the hard
disk.

Cache "hits" refer to information requests satisfied from cache

memory. As cache memory accesses increase, system performance
improves.

Drive Mechanism
---------------
A brushless DC direct drive motor rotates the spindle at 3484 RPM.
The dynamically balanced motor/spindle assembly ensures minimal
mechanical runout to the disks. A dynamic brake provides a fast stop
to the spindle motor upon power removal.

Air Filtration System

---------------------
Over the life of the drive, a 0.3 micron filter and breather filter
(located within the sealed enclosure) maintain a clean, above-
atmospheric pressure environment to the heads and disks.

MiniScribe AT Interface Boards

------------------------------
To use the 8051A with an AT system that does not incorporate address
decoding or buffering on its motherboard, you must use a MiniScribe
AT interface oard. (Otherwise, simply interface via the system's on-
board 40 pin AT connector.

MiniScribe AT interface boards serve two primary functions:

1. Buffer signals between host and drive

2. Provide address decoding for the drive.

General
MAXTOR IDE INSTALLATION
 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR AN IDE DRIVE

---------------------------------------

1. Install a 40 pin Data Cable ensuring that pin 1, which can be

identified by the striped edge of the cable, is closest to the

power connector on the drive.

2. Install a DC power cable to the back of the drive.

3. Verify the jumper configurations for Master/Slave operation

(Note: Master will be the bootable drive. The slave will not

be bootable.) Also make sure the existing C: drive is jumped

to be the Master in a two drive system, not the only drive in

the system.

4. Apply power to the computer.

4a. When memory test is complete go into

your system's Standard
CMOS set-up.
(Note: There are various ways to get
into CMOS set-up, please
 refer to system's manual for
instructions.)

4b. If your system's BIOS supports a user

programmable drive
type, program the BIOS with the
default parameters of your
drive. If your system does not
support a user programmable
drive type choose parameters that
closely match but do not
exceed the drives MegaByte capacity.
Escape from set-up
then choose write to CMOS and exit.

4a. Când testul de memorie este complet, intrați în standardul sistemului dumneavoastră

Configurare CMOS.

(Notă: există diferite moduri de a intra în configurarea CMOS, vă rugăm

consultați manualul sistemului pentru instrucțiuni.)

4b. Dacă BIOS-ul sistemului dumneavoastră acceptă o unitate programabilă de utilizator

 tastați, programați BIOS-ul cu parametrii impliciti ai dvs

conduce. Dacă sistemul dumneavoastră nu acceptă un utilizator programabil

tipul de unitate alege parametrii care se potrivesc, dar nu

depășește capacitatea de megaocteți a unităților. Scăpați din configurație

apoi alegeți scrieți în CMOS și ieșiți.

Boot from a DOS diskette that has FDISK.EXE and FORMAT.COM on

it. At the A> prompt type in FDISK. At the menu options select

option 1 to create a DOS partition. Another menu will appear

and from those options choose 1 to create a Primary DOS

partition. Select yes to make 1 large partition and it will

automatically become active. Then escape from FDISK.

6. At the A> prompt type in FORMAT C:/S This does a high-level

format on the drive and transfers the system files in order for

the drive to be bootable. (Note: IDE drives are low-level

formatted from the manufacturer and only need a high-level

format).

To configure the drive as a slave drive repeat steps 1-4 and

proceed with steps 5a. and 6a. as follows:

5a. At the C> prompt type in FDISK. When the menu options appear

select option 5 to switch to the second drive. Enter fixed

disk drive number 2. Then choose option 1 to create a DOS

 partition, then select option 1 again to create a Primary DOS

partition or option 2 to create an Extended DOS partition.

(Note: C and D drives will always be the Primary partitions

but only the Primary partition on C: will have a status of

active).

6a. Proceed with a high-level format on the drive by typing FORMAT

D: (Note: Make sure the correct drive letter has been selected

for format).

7. The drive is now bootable. As a test remove the DOS diskette

from A and press reset to reboot the computer, a C> should be

displayed, the drive is now ready for operation.

3.2 IBM
The original AT BIOS (01/10/84) has types 1-14. Later versions also have types 16-N
with N=23 (AT, 11/15/85) or N=24 (XT), or N=33, or N=44, At the end of the table
one usually had one or two or three user-defined types.
