Regarding software reset, the mode set prior to software reset is retained after software reset.

The parameters for the multiple commands which are posted to the host system when the IDENTIFY DEVICE command is issued are listed below. See Subsection 5.3.2 for the IDENTIFY DEVICE command.

Word 47 = 8010: Maximum number of sectors that can be transferred per interrupt by the READ MULTIPLE and WRITE MULTIPLE commands are 16 (fixed).

Word 59 = 0000: The READ MULTIPLE and WRITE MULTIPLE commands are

disabled.

= 01xx:

The READ MULTIPLE and WRITE MULTIPLE commands are enabled. "xx" indicates the current setting for number of sectors that can be transferred per interrupt by the READ MULTIPLE and WRITE MULTIPLE commands.

e.g. 0110 = Block count of 16 has been set by the SET MULTIPLE MODE command.

(16)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 5 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 5.7 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.

MPE3XXXAT specifications

The Fujitsu MPE3XXXAT series is a robust line of hard disk drives (HDDs) known for their reliability, performance, and advanced technology. Designed primarily for enterprise storage solutions, these drives cater to high-demand environments such as data centers, servers, and workstations. With capacities ranging from hundreds of gigabytes to several terabytes, the MPE3XXXAT series offers scalable storage options to accommodate a variety of applications.

One of the standout features of the MPE3XXXAT series is its high rotational speed. With most models operating at 7200 RPM, these drives ensure faster data access and improved read/write performance. This speed makes them ideal for applications requiring quick data retrieval, such as database management and data-intensive workloads. Furthermore, the series utilizes a Serial ATA (SATA) interface, which facilitates seamless connectivity and compatibility with a wide range of systems.

The Fujitsu MPE3XXXAT series is built with advanced technologies that enhance durability and longevity. Notably, the drives incorporate advanced error correction algorithms and vibration resistance features, which are crucial for maintaining data integrity over time. This is particularly important in multi-drive environments where vibrations from one drive can affect the performance of others. The drives are also designed with low power consumption in mind, contributing to energy savings without compromising performance.

In terms of data security, the MPE3XXXAT series supports various security features that protect against unauthorized access. These include ATA security features that enable password protection and robust encryption to safeguard sensitive information from potential breaches. This aspect is particularly significant for enterprises that handle confidential data and require stringent security measures.

The operational temperature range of the MPE3XXXAT drives is optimized for demanding environments, allowing them to function effectively in a variety of conditions. Their reliability is backed by an impressive Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), which signifies their resilience and the manufacturer's commitment to quality.

Overall, the Fujitsu MPE3XXXAT series stands out as a reliable choice for enterprise storage needs. With its blend of high speed, capacity, durability, and security features, it addresses the challenges faced by modern data centers and businesses that require efficient data management solutions. Whether for backup, archival, or active data storage, the MPE3XXXAT series is designed to deliver consistent performance and peace of mind for users.
