5.6.4Setting parameters

The user can specify the optimal operation mode for the user system environments by setting the following parameters with the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED command:

•Error recovery parameter

•Disconnection/reconnection parameter

•Caching parameter

•Control mode parameter

With the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED command, specify 1 for the "SP" bit on CDB to save the specified parameter value on the disk. This enables the IDD to operate by using the parameter value set by the user when power is turned on again. When the system has more than one INIT, different parameter value can be set for each INIT.

When the parameters are not set or saved with the MODE SELECT or MODE SELECT EXTENDED command, the IDD sets the default values for parameters and operates when power is turned on or after reset. Although the IDD operations are assured with the default values, the operations are not always optimal for the system. To obtain the best performance, set the parameters in consideration of the system requirements specific to the user.

This section outlines the parameter setting procedures. Refer to Chapter 3 of SCSI Logical Interface Specifications for further details of the MODE SELECT and MODE SELECT EXTENDED commands and specifying the parameters.

IMPORTANT

1.At factory shipment of the IDD, the saving operation for the MODE SELECT parameter is not executed. So, if the user does not set parameters, the IDD operates according to the default value of each parameter

2.The model select parameter is not saved for each SCSI ID of but as the common parameter for all IDs. In the multi-INIT System, parameter setting cannot be changed for each INIT.

3.Once parameters are saved, the saved value is effective as long as next saving operation is executed from the INIT. For example, even if the initialization of the disk is performed by the FORMAT UNIT command, the saved value of parameters described in this section is not affected.

4.When the IDD, to which the saving operation has been executed on a system, is connected to another system, the user must pay attention to that the IDD operates according to the saved parameter value if the saving operation is not executed at installation.

MAP3735NP, MAP3367NC, 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.
