6.1.1Response to power-on

After the master device (device 0) releases its own power-on reset state, the master device shall check a DASP- signal for up to 450 ms to confirm presence of a slave device (device 1). The master device recognizes presence of the slave device when it confirms assertion of the DASP- signal. Then, the master device checks a PDIAG- signal to see if the slave device has successfully completed the power-on diagnostics.

If the master device cannot confirm assertion of the DASP- signal within 450 ms, the master device recognizes that no slave device is connected.

After the slave device (device 1) releases its own power-on reset state, the slave device shall report its presence and the result of power-on diagnostics to the master device as described below:

DASP- signal: Asserted within 400 ms, and negated after the first command is received from the host or within 31 seconds or after executing software reset, which ever comes first.

PDIAG- signal: Negated within 1 ms and asserted within 30 seconds, then negated within 31 seconds.

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.
