Troubleshooting Procedure, Diagnostic test

1.3 Troubleshooting Procedure

For example, not having enough power supply reserve, a loose cable connection, no timing and mechanical reserves, or relationship with other systems.

In normal operation, the disk drive itself or the host determines the processing (return or halt) following the detected failure state.

To troubleshoot the failure reported in the test at this level, accurately reproduce the condition that caused the failure. Then, by replacing the disk drive, try to separate the fault from the other sections of the disk drive host system.

1.2.2 Diagnostic test

The diagnostic test is used to separate a confirmed disk drive failure to a disk drive subassembly or to check the disk drive performance. A test of this level usually includes a specific disk drive function or concentrated execution of a group of functions. The test is usually performed by a factory engineer and not where the failure was reported. The disk drive is tested using another host computer or test equipment.

To troubleshoot the disk drive failure in the diagnostic test, the engineer will reproduce the failure condition. The engineer then isolates the failure to a subassembly or part of the disk drive.

The procedures used in a test of this level great depend on the test equipment used. It is beyond the range of this manual.

1.3Troubleshooting Procedure

1.3.1 Troubleshooting procedure

This section describes the troubleshooting procedures for a disk drive failure at field maintenance level described in Subsection 1.1.3.

In this section, troubleshooting is made to isolate the reported failure to the disk drive or a host system. Usually, troubleshooting is necessary only when a cause of failure is uncertain or unknown. When a cause of failure is clear (for example, abnormal sound in the DE or burnt parts on the PCA), a level of troubleshooting is low.

1.3.2 Troubleshooting disk drive replaced in field

It is recommended that the whole drive be replaced in maintenance of this level. If replacing the drive corrects the fault, return the old drive to the factory for testing and repair. If the new drive shows the same fault as the one that was removed, the failure is elsewhere in the system.

System level troubleshooting, shown in Table 1.3, is performed at the user site to isolate the reported failure to the disk drive or system.

MHV2040AH, MHV2080AH, MHV2060AH, MHV2100AH specifications

The Fujitsu MHV series of hard disk drives, specifically the MHV2060AH, MHV2080AH, MHV2100AH, and MHV2040AH, are renowned for their reliability and performance in the mobile HDD segment. Designed primarily for use in laptops and other portable devices, these drives integrate cutting-edge technologies to meet the demands of today's data-intensive applications.

One of the hallmark features of the MHV series is its high data density, allowing for substantial storage capabilities in compact sizes. The MHV2060AH offers a storage capacity of 60 GB, while the MHV2080AH and MHV2100AH offer 80 GB and 100 GB respectively. The MHV2040AH provides a slightly more modest but still robust 40 GB of storage. This range of capacities ensures that users can select the model that best fits their storage needs.

The drives utilize the latest perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology, which enhances recording efficiency and increases data storage densities. This technology significantly optimizes the use of disk surface area, providing better performance and more reliable data access. Additionally, the MHV series incorporates an advanced actuator system that ensures precision head positioning, enhancing data integrity and reducing error rates during read and write operations.

In terms of performance, the MHV series maintains a revolutions per minute (RPM) rating of 5400, which strikes a balance between speed and energy efficiency, making these drives suitable for low-power applications. The drives are also designed with a low acoustic level, generating minimal noise during operation—a crucial factor for mobile users who prefer quieter devices.

Furthermore, the Fujitsu MHV series features a robust shock resistance design, allowing them to withstand the rigors of mobile computing. This makes them suitable for use in portable environments subject to vibration and physical movement, thus ensuring data security and drive longevity.

Overall, the Fujitsu MHV2060AH, MHV2080AH, MHV2100AH, and MHV2040AH represent a formidable selection of mobile hard disk drives filled with advanced technologies and features, making them well-suited for a wide range of applications in today's fast-paced digital world. With their combination of storage capacity, performance, and durability, these drives continue to serve as reliable solutions for users seeking efficient data storage in portable formats.
