As shipped, the 16-pin shunt block has all pin pairs shorted. Pin
pairs 2/15, 3/14 and 4/13 are used for factory test modes. For normal
operations these pin pairs must be closed.
Actuator Exerciser Modes
------------------------
The microprocessor performs "wake up" diagnostics upon application of
power. If an error is detected, the processor will flash a warning by
blinking the Activity LED. Some errors are fatal that they do not
return to the program until power is cycled.
If no errors are detected, the processor tests the shunt block to
determine the state of pin pairs 2/15, 3/14 and 4/13 (Drive Exercise
Options).

Each drive is shipped with a terminator pack providing the 220/330
ohm termination for the Control Input Signals. If multiple drives are
configured in a daisy chain configuration, the terminator pack must
be removed from all drives except the last unit on the daisy chain.

Recommended Mounting Configuration
----------------------------------
The MiniScribe 3212 half height drive is designed to be used in
applications where the unit may experience shock and vibrations at
greater levels than larger and heavier disk drives.
Two features which allow greater shock tolerances are the use of
rugged media and shock mounts. To take full advantage of the shock
mounts, however, it is necessary to provide a 0.1 inch clearance on
both the top and bottom of the drive. This clearance allows for move-
ment of the drive during acceleration. This implies that if the drive
is mounted by the bottom mounting holes on a flat surface, stands-off
are needed under the mounting holes. No special considerations are
required if the drive is mounted using the side mounts except for the
clearance on top and bottom. The drive may be mounted in any attitude
except upside down.
Mechanically Isolated Mounting Points
-------------------------------------
Four side mounting and four base mounting points are provided to the
customer. Each mounting point is mechanically isolated from the
drive. Additionally, four side mounting points are provided that are
compatible with a half height floppy disk drive.
Screws
------
Use 6-32 UNC screws
Cabling
-------
Connect interface cables with connectors P1, P2, P3, and P4 to J1,
J2, J3, and J4 respetively. Insure that connectors P1 and P2 have
keys installed. If multiple drives are be interconnected, remove the
terminator packs in all but the last drive in the daisy chain.
Magnetic Field
--------------
The externally induced magnetic flux density may not exceed 3 Gauss
as measured at the disk surface.
Drive Mechanism
---------------
A brushless DC direct drive motor rotates the spindle at 3600 rpm.
The motor/spindle assembly is dynamically balanced to provide minimal
mechanical runout to the disks. A dynamic brake is used to provide a
fast stop to the spindle motor when power is removed.
Air Filtration System
---------------------
Within the sealed enclosure, a 0.3 micron filter coupled with a
breather filter provides over the drive life a clean, above
atmospheric pressure environment to the heads and disks.
Head Positioning Mechanism
--------------------------
Two read/write heads are supported by a carriage mechaism coupled to
the stepper motor through a rack-and-pinion motion translator. The
rack-and-pinion translator allows for the increased number of data
tracks while retaining the full step holding torque and positioning
repeatability characteristics of the stepper motor.
Power Sequencing ---------------- +5 volts DC and +12 volts DC may be applied in any order.
+12 VDC powers the spindle drive motor. The microprocessor verifies that the disks are spinning at 3600 rpm and then activates the automatic Track Zero positioning. -TRACK ZERO, -SEEK COMPLETE, and -READY will beome true upon completion of the Track Zero positioning sequence.
Electrical Interface
--------------------
The interface to the MiniScribe 3212 can be divided into three
categories, each of which are physically separated: Comtrol Signals,
Data Signals and DC Power.
All Control Signals are digital in nature (open collector TTL) and
either provide signals to the drive (input) or signals to the
controller (output). The Data Signals are differential in nature and
provide data either to (write) or from (read) the drive.
Low State (true): 0.0 to 0.4 VDC, -40ma max.
High State (false): 2.5 to 5.25 VDC, 250 a
The interconnect cable between the drive and controller may be flat
ribbon or twisted pairs of a length not to exceed 20 feet. The signal
return lines and ground lines for P1 and P2 should be grounded at the
controller.
The voltage return lines of P3 should only be grounded at the power
supply.
Connector P4 is a spade lug connector tied to frame ground.

Caution/Warning
---------------
The Miniscribe drive is a precision product weighing 3.5 pounds.
During handling the unit must not be dropped, jarred or bumped.
Otherwise, damage to the heads and disks may occur. When the drive is
removed from the Miniscribe shipping container and not immediately
secured within a chassis through its shock mounts, it must be stored
on a soft padded surface.
Failure to comply with the above procedure will render null and void
all warranties.

Introduction
------------
The MiniScribe 3212 is a half-height random access 5-1/4 inch rigid
media disk drive employing Winchester technology. The drive utilizes
a rack-and-pinion actuator, microprocessor control, and open loop
stepper head positioning.
The Model 3212 features power up diagnostics, head shipping zone,
buffered seek and 5 Megabit/Sec. transfer rate. D.C. voltages and
physical form factor are the same as the 5-1/4 inch half height
floppy disk drive.

Track Zero Detector
-------------------
The Track Zero Detector resides on the stepper motor. This optical
sensor consists of a light source (activated only when a seek is
initiated) and a receiver which when blocked by an interrupter on the
motor shaft indicates one of several logical Track Zero positions.
The microprocessor determines the physical location of Track Zero
from the redundant logical Track Zeros.

Error Messages
--------------
The microprocessor performs wake up diagnostics on power up.
Additionally, some operations are monitored during normal operations.
If an error is detected, the microprocessor will flash a warning by
blinking the activity LED.
Error codes may be generated by the microprocessor to indicate hard-
ware failures or warnings that are detected during power-on
diagnostics, burn-in mode, or normal operation. Error codes are
diaplayed in a "morse-code" type manner. Bits may be interpreted
and converted into hexadecimal error codes. "Zeros" are indicated by
a short (1/2 second) flashingn mode. "Ones" are indicated by a short
(1/2 second) continuous ON mode. Error "Words" are separated by a one
second LED off time.
Zero = 0.5 second flashing mode
One = 0.5 second continuous ON mode
Between Bits = 0.5 second Off
Between Repeat Cycles = 1.0 second Off
Listed Below are the binary to hexadecimal conversion values:
0 = 0000 4 = 0100 8 = 1000 C = 1100
1 = 0001 5 = 0101 9 = 1001 D = 1101
2 = 0010 6 = 0110 A = 1010 E = 1110
3 = 0011 7 = 0111 B = 1011 F = 1111
