(4)Sequential starting of spindle motors

After power is turned on to the IDD, a large amount of current flows in the +12 VDC line when the spindle motor rotation starts. Therefore, if more than one IDD is used, the spindle motors should be started by the following procedures to prevent overload of the power supply unit. Regarding how to set a spindle motor start control mode, see Subsection 5.3.2.

For the NP model drives, the spindle motors should be started sequentially using of the following procedures.

a)Issue START/STOP commands at more than 12-second intervals to start the spindle motors. For details of this command specification, refer to SCSI Logical Interface Specifications.

b)Turn on the +12 VDC power in the power supply unit at more than 12-second intervals to start the spindle motors sequentially.

For the NC model drives, the spindle motors should be started after a delay of 12 seconds times [SCSI ID] by setting CN1-38 pin to open and CN1-78 pin to short.

(5)Power supply to SCSI terminating resistor

If power for the terminating resistor is supplied from the IDD to other SCSI devices through the SCSI bus, the current-carrying capacity of the +5 VDC power supply line to the IDD must be designed with considering of an increase of up to 200 mA.

A method of power supply to the terminating resistor is selected with a setting terminal on the IDD (NP model only). See Subsection 5.3.2 for this selection.

For the electrical condition of supplying power to the terminating resistor, refer to Subsection 1.4.2 in SCSI Physical Interface Specifications.

(6)Noise filter

To eliminate AC line noise, a noise filter should be installed at the AC input terminal on the IDD power supply unit. The specification of this noise filter is as follows:

Attenuation: 40 dB or more at 10 MHz

Circuit construction: T-configuration as shown in Figure 4.12 is recommended.

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.
