(1)Interface (SCSI bus) test

The operations of the SCSI bus and data buffer on the IDD are checked with the WRITE BUFFER and READ BUFFER commands.

(2)Basic operation test

The basic operations of the IDD are checked by executing self-diagnosis with the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command (see Subsection 6.1.1).

(3)Random/sequential read test

The positioning (seek) operation and read operation are tested in random access and sequential access modes with the READ, READ EXTENDED, or VERIFY command.

(4)Write/read test

By using a data block in the internal test space, the write/read test can be executed with an arbitrary pattern for a disk drive in which user data is stored.

6.2Maintenance Information

6.2.1Precautions

Take the following precautions to prevent injury during maintenance and troubleshooting:

CAUTION

1.To avoid shocks, turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting a cable, connector, or plug.

2.To avoid injury, do not touch the mechanical assembly during disk drive operation.

3.Do not use solvents to clean the disk drive.

MAS3367NC/NP, MAS3184NC/NP, MAS3735NC/NP specifications

Fujitsu's MAS series hard drives, including the MAS3735NC/NP, MAS3184NC/NP, and MAS3367NC/NP, are designed for enterprise applications requiring high performance, reliability, and efficiency. These drives are notable for their ability to manage extensive workloads, making them ideal for demanding server and storage environments.

The MAS3735NC/NP is a 3.5-inch hard drive that operates at 15,000 RPM, providing exceptional data access speeds. With a storage capacity of up to 300GB, this model is optimized for high transaction applications, such as databases and email servers. Its advanced 16 MB buffer ensures that data is managed smoothly, significantly reducing latency and improving overall system performance. The drive employs SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface technology, which enhances data transfer rates and provides better reliability compared to traditional SATA interfaces.

The MAS3184NC/NP model features a generous 146GB storage capacity, operating at a slightly lower peak performance of 10,000 RPM. However, it still provides substantial speed and reliability for various server applications. The advanced features of this drive include enhanced error recovery, which minimizes the risk of data corruption, as well as a power-saving mode that reduces energy consumption without compromising performance.

Next in the series, the MAS3367NC/NP offers a combination of capacity and speed. With up to 300GB of storage and also spinning at 15,000 RPM, it matches the performance levels of the MAS3735. This drive utilizes dual-port 6Gb/s SAS technology, which not only boosts data transfer rates but also adds redundancy, thus ensuring continuous availability for mission-critical applications.

All models in this range are designed with advanced technologies such as S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology), which helps monitor the drive's health and predict potential failures before they occur. Additionally, these drives are built to meet rigorous environmental and physical standards, ensuring durability and longevity in various applications.

In summary, Fujitsu’s MAS3735NC/NP, MAS3184NC/NP, and MAS3367NC/NP hard drives showcase a perfect blend of speed, capacity, and reliability, solidifying their position as leading choices for enterprise-level storage solutions. With their advanced technologies and features, these drives are tailored for environments where performance and reliability are non-negotiable requirements.
