(7) EXECUTE DEVICE DIAGNOSTIC (X’90’)

This command performs an internal diagnostic test (self-diagnosis) of the device. This command usually sets the DRV bit of the Drive/Head register is to 0 (however, the DV bit is not checked). If two devices are present, both devices execute self-diagnosis.

If device 1 is present:

Both devices shall execute self-diagnosis.

The device 0 waits for up to 6 seconds until device 1 asserts the PDIAG- signal.

If the device 1 does not assert the PDIAG- signal but indicates an error, the device 0 shall append X’80’ to its own diagnostic status.

The device 0 clears the BSY bit of the Status register and generates an interrupt. (The device 1 does not generate an interrupt.)

A diagnostic status of the device 0 is read by the host system. When a diagnostic failure of the device 1 is detected, the host system can read a status of the device 1 by setting the DV bit (selecting the device 1).

When device 1 is not present:

The device 0 posts only the results of its own self-diagnosis.

The device 0 clears the BSY bit of the Status register, and generates an interrupt.

Table 5.4 lists the diagnostic code written in the Error register which is 8-bit code.

If the device 1 fails the self-diagnosis, the device 0 “ORs” X’80’ with its own status and sets that code to the Error register.

Fujitsu MHV2040AS, MHV2080AS, MHV2060AS manual Execute Device Diagnostic X’90’, Diagnostic code

MHV2060AS, MHV2080AS, MHV2040AS specifications

Fujitsu's MHV series of hard disk drives, specifically the MHV2040AS, MHV2080AS, and MHV2060AS models, are designed to deliver efficient performance and reliability for a range of applications, particularly in desktop computing and entry-level servers. Each of these drives adheres to the Serial ATA (SATA) interface, which ensures compatibility across a wide range of systems and is known for its cost-effectiveness and simplicity.

The MHV2040AS features a storage capacity of 40GB, making it suitable for basic computing tasks including document editing, web browsing, and media playback. The MHV2060AS steps it up with a 60GB capacity, allowing for increased data storage needs while still maintaining a high level of performance. The largest of the trio, the MHV2080AS, offers an impressive 80GB of space, positioning it well for users who require additional room for applications, games, and multimedia files.

All drives in this series are equipped with a rotational speed of 5400 RPM, which strikes a balance between speed and power consumption. This speed is adequate for everyday tasks and allows for quick boot times and file access, making them ideal for home and small office environments. Additionally, the drives feature an average latency of 5.5 milliseconds, contributing to their overall performance in retrieving data.

In terms of technology, the MHV series employs a fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) motor, which not only enhances reliability but also reduces noise levels during operation. The FDB technology helps improve the longevity of the drives by minimizing wear on mechanical components. This characteristic is particularly important for users seeking quieter drives, especially in work environments that require minimal disruption.

The drives also incorporate advanced power management features that significantly reduce power consumption, making them an environmentally friendly choice for users mindful of their carbon footprint. These drives are equipped with energy-saving modes that optimize their performance when not in full use, ensuring lower operational costs and longer lifespan.

Overall, the Fujitsu MHV2040AS, MHV2080AS, and MHV2060AS hard drives provide a solid solution for users looking for dependable storage with a range of capacities to fit their needs. Their performance, combined with noise reduction technologies and energy efficiency, makes them a notable choice for various computing environments, from single-user desktops to small business applications.
