5.5Checking Operation after Installation and Preparing the IDD for Use

5.5.1Checking initial operation

This section explains how to check operation after power is turned on. Since the initial operation of an IDD differs depending on the settings of the motor start mode, check the following initial operations according to the motor start mode set during installation.

(1)Initial operation if the settings have been specified so that turning power on automatically starts rotating the motor

a)When power is turned on, the Active LED blinks and the IDD starts the initial self-diagnosis.

b)If the initial self-diagnosis detects a problem, the IDD sends the Fault LED Out signal to the interface connector, as specified by SFF8045.

Remark: The spindle motor may or may not start rotating in this stage.

c)If the IDD is in idle mode, the Active LED remains lit. (When the initiator accesses the IDD, the LED goes off and then goes on again at the end of the processing requested by the initiator.)

(2)Initial operation if the settings have been specified so that the START/STOP UNIT command is used to start rotating the motor

a)When power is turned on, the Active LED goes on momentarily and the IDD starts the initial self-diagnosis.

b)If the initial self-diagnosis detects a problem, the IDD sends the Fault LED Out signal to the interface connector, as specified by SFF8045.

c)The spindle motor does not rotate until the START/STOP UNIT command is received. The initiator is required to use the procedure described in Section 5.5.2 to send the START/STOP UNIT command.

d)About 60 seconds after the START/STOP UNIT command is received, the disk drive enters the READY state. The IDD then starts reading system information from the system space on disks.

e)The Active LED goes off while the command is being executed.

(3)Take the following actions if a problem occurs:

a)Check if all cables are correctly connected.

b)Check if the power supply voltage is correct. (Measure the voltage at the power connector on the IDD.)

MAP3735FC, MAP3147FC specifications

Fujitsu has been a prominent player in the hard disk drive market, with its MAP3147FC and MAP3735FC models standing out in terms of performance and reliability. These drives are engineered to meet the growing demands of enterprise applications, providing robust solutions for data storage in critical environments.

The Fujitsu MAP3147FC, with a capacity of 147 GB, is optimized for high-speed data access and storage efficiency. This 3.5-inch SCSI drive operates at a rotational speed of 15,000 RPM, ensuring rapid data retrieval and minimized latency, making it ideal for applications requiring quick transaction processing. It features a 4 Gbps Fibre Channel interface, which enhances connectivity and system integration, promoting seamless communication between devices in storage area networks.

On the other hand, the MAP3735FC model offers a higher capacity of 300 GB. It shares similar specifications with its counterpart, including the 15,000 RPM speed, which guarantees top-notch performance for mission-critical applications. The MAP3735FC, like the MAP3147FC, incorporates advanced technologies such as Command Queuing, which optimizes the execution of multiple read and write commands in a queue. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments with high I/O demands, improving overall system throughput and efficiency.

Both drives utilize sophisticated error correction techniques, ensuring data integrity and reliability. They are equipped with features like S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology), which continuously monitors the health of the drives and helps predict potential failures, allowing for proactive maintenance and data protection.

In terms of physical characteristics, both models are designed to withstand the rigors of continuous operation. They are built with a rugged casing to protect against vibration and shock, making them suitable for use in enterprise-level servers and storage systems. Their design also allows for efficient heat dissipation, which is critical for maintaining optimal performance during extended use.

In summary, Fujitsu's MAP3147FC and MAP3735FC hard drives embody a combination of high speed, reliability, and advanced features tailored for enterprise environments. Their robust performance, large storage capacities, and reliable error correction technologies make them an excellent choice for businesses looking to optimize their data storage solutions and ensure seamless operation in demanding applications. With Fujitsu's commitment to quality and innovation, these models continue to meet the evolving needs of the data storage industry.
