8.0 General 8.1 Introduction This specification describes the host interface of the Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN. The interface conforms to the Working Document of Information technology, AT Attachment with Packet Interface Extension (ATA/ATAPI-5) Revision 3, dated 29 February 2000, with certain limitations described in section 9.0, "Deviations From Standard”...
This means that the device will not report a threshold exceeded condition unless the prefailure attributes exceed their corresponding thres- holds. For example, a Power-On Hours Attribute never results in a negative reliability status. Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN hard disk drive specifications...
The Command Block Registers are used for sending commands to the device or posting status from the device. The Control Block Registers are used for device control and to post alternate status. Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN hard disk drive specifications...
In LBA Mode this register contains Bits 8–15. At the end of the command, this register is updated to reflect the current LBA Bits 8–15. The cylinder number may be from zero to the number of cylinders minus one (1). Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN hard disk drive specifications...
Interrupt Enable. When IEN = 0, and the device is selected, the device interrupts to the host will be enabled. When IEN = 1, or the device is not selected, the device interrupts to the host will be disabled. Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN hard disk drive specifications...
In LBA mode, HS3 through HS0 contain bits 24–27 of the LBA. At command completion, these bits are updated to reflect the current LBA bits 24–27. Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN hard disk drive specifications...
The contents of the register are defined differently on some commands. These definitions are given in section 13.0, “Command descriptions” on 107. Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN hard disk drive specifications...
Error. Bit ERR=1 indicates that an error occurred during execution of the previous com- mand. The Error Register should be read to determine the error type. The device sets bit ERR=0 when the next command is received from the host. Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN hard disk drive specifications...
The SRST bit in the Device Control Register is set and then is reset. The device resets the interface circuitry according to the Set Features require- ment. The actions of each reset are shown in Figure 57 on page 74. Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN hard disk drive specifications...
(*5). After reset the Standby timer value is set to 109 minutes. (*6). Set according to the initial power mode selection. Figure 57. Reset response table Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN hard disk drive specifications...
Asserted? Passed Register (not read) (not read) The "x" indicates the appropriate Diagnostic Code for the Power on, RESET-, Soft Reset, or Device Diagnostic error. Figure 60. Reset error register values Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN hard disk drive specifications...
A single emergency unload operation is more stressful than 100 normal unloads. Use of emergency un- load reduces the start/stop life of the drive at a rate at least 100 times faster than that of normal unload and may damage the drive. Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN hard disk drive specifications...
The device then computes the number of logical cylinders available in requested mode. The default CHS translation mode is described in the Identify Device Information. The current CHS trans- lation mode also is described in the Identify Device Information. Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN hard disk drive specifications...
4. Set the INTRQ (completion of the command). 5. Activate the spindle break to stop the spindle motor. 6. Wait until the spindle motor is stopped. 7. Perform the post process. Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN hard disk drive specifications...
After power on or hard reset the device goes to IDLE mode or STANDBY mode depending on the option. Refer to section 4.4.3, "Operating Modes" on page 17 for the initial power mode selection. Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN hard disk drive specifications...
The transition time is dynamically managed by the user's recent access pattern, instead of fixed times. The ABLE-3 algorithm monitors the interval between commands instead of the command frequency of ABLE-2. The algorithm supposes that the next command will come with the same command interval Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN hard disk drive specifications...
Page 96
The optimum entry time changes over time. The same algorithm works for entering into Low Power Idle mode and Standby mode, which consumes less power but needs more recovery time switching from this mode to Active mode. Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN hard disk drive specifications...
11.8.5 S.M.A.R.T. commands The S.M.A.R.T. commands provide access to attribute values, attribute thresholds and other logging and reporting information. Hitachi Travelstar 60GH & 40GN hard disk drive specifications...
