d)If an error is detected in initial self-diagnosis the LED blinks. In this case, it is recommended to issue the REQUEST SENSE command from the initiator (host system) to obtain information (sense data) for error analysis.

IMPORTANT

The LED lights during the IDD is executing a command. However, in same commands, the lighting time is only an instant. Therefore, it seems that the LED blinks or the LED remains off.

5.6.2Checking SCSI connection

When the initial operation is checked normally after power is turned on, check that the IDD is connected to the SCSI bus from the host system. Although checking the connection depends on the structure of the host system, this section describes the general procedures.

(1)Checking procedure

Issuing the commands and determining the end status depends on the start mode of the spindle motor and UNIT ATTENTION report mode (specified with setting terminal). Figure 5.4 shows the recommended checking procedure for the mode that the motor starts when power is turned on. Figure 5.5 shows for the mode that the motor starts by the START/STOP command. In these recommended checking procedures, following items are checked.

Note:

Following steps a) to e) correspond to a) to e) in Figures 5.4 and 5.5.

a)Issue the TEST UNIT READY command and check that the IDD is connected correctly to the SCSI bus and the initial operation after power is turned on ended normally. The command issue period of the TEST UNIT READY command shall be more than 20 ms.

b)To control starting of the spindle motor from the host system, issue the START/STOP UNIT command to start the spindle motor.

c)Check the SCSI bus operations with the WRITE BUFFER and READ BUFFER commands. Use data whose data bus bits change to 0 or 1 at least once. (Example: Data with an increment pattern of X'00' to X'FF')

d)Start the IDD self-diagnostic test with the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command and check the basic operations of the controller and disk drive.

MAP3735NC/NP, MAP3367NC/NP, MAP3147NC/NP specifications

Fujitsu's MAP3147NC/NP, MAP3367NC/NP, and MAP3735NC/NP hard disk drives represent a robust solution for businesses seeking reliable data storage options. These models are part of Fujitsu’s extensive line of high-performance hard drives that cater to various organizational needs, from servers to high-capacity data storage systems.

One of the standout features of these hard drives is their speed. The MAP3147NC/NP operates at a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, ensuring rapid data access and retrieval. This speed is essential for environments requiring quick data transactions, making it suitable for enterprise-level databases and high-performance computing applications.

The capacity range across these models is designed to meet varying storage requirements. The MAP3147NC offers 147 GB, while the MAP3367NC provides 67 GB, and the MAP3735NC boasts a generous capacity of 35 GB. This diversity allows organizations to select the drive that best fits their data storage and performance needs while maintaining a scalable storage solution.

In terms of technology, the drives incorporate advanced features such as Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, which enhances data throughput and reliability compared to traditional Parallel SCSI interfaces. SAS technology enables these drives to support multiple device connections while ensuring high-performance throughput, essential for modern enterprise environments.

The drives employ a 64 MB cache, providing a significant performance boost by allowing for quicker access to frequently used data. This capability improves overall system responsiveness, especially in applications requiring high input/output operations per second (IOPS).

Moreover, the MAP3147NC/NP, MAP3367NC/NP, and MAP3735NC/NP series are designed with data integrity in mind. They include features such as Error Correction Code (ECC) and background error scanning, which work together to maintain the integrity of stored data and minimize the risk of data loss.

In conclusion, Fujitsu’s MAP3147NC/NP, MAP3367NC/NP, and MAP3735NC/NP hard disk drives provide a blend of performance, capacity, and reliability. With their fast spindle speeds, robust data throughput via SAS technology, and enhanced cache memory, these drives are ideal for enterprises requiring durable and efficient data storage solutions in high-demand environments. As organization needs evolve, these drives offer scalability and reliability to support diverse applications and workloads.
