Jumper setting
==============
There are two configurations of ST351A/X family drives. Both
configurations can support either interface.
- The first configuration has a 12-pin User Configuration jumper
block and two DC power connectors: a 4-pin connector and a 3-pin
connector.
- The second configuration has an 18-pin User Configuration jumper
block and a 4-pin power connector only.

Drive activity LED
------------------
To cause the drive to use the DASP signal to indicate bus activity
through a remote LED, install a jumper on pins 5 and 6. This
jumper can only be installed on the master drive. (On the slave
drive, the DASP- signal indicates that a slave is present.
Factory Test
------------
Not recommended for field use. When a jumper is installed on pins 7
and 9, the actuator continuously seeks between track 0 and the
maximum data track and ignores any signals sent through the inter-
face.

------------
You can install up to two drives on a single AT bus if you use a
daisy-chain cable. Table below describes how to install the jumpers.

------------------
To cause the drive to use the DASP signal to indicate bus sctivity
through a remote LED, install a jumper on pins 13 and 14. This
jumper can only be installed on the master drive. (On the slave
drive, the DASP- signal is used to indicate that a slave is present.
Factory Test
------------
Not recommended for field use. When a jumper is installed on pins 1
and 2, the actuator continuously seeks between track 0 and the
maximum data track and ignores any signals sent through the inter-
face.
Factory reserved
----------------
Do not remove. At the factory, a jumper was installed on pins 11 and
12 of the User Configuration jumper block. The drive cannot function
properly without it.

daisy-chain cable. Table below describes how to install the jumpers.

------------------------
The setting of this jumper depends on the system. A jumper must be
installed in either the HIGH or LOW position for the drive function.

------------------
When a jumper is installed on pins 5 and 6, the drive uses the DASP-
signal to indicate bus activity through a remote LED.

PROHIBITED! PROHIBITED!
You must mount the drive within 5* of a vertical or horizontal axis.
Mounting the drive
------------------
For optimum performance, format the drive in the same orientation as
you intend to mount it in the host system. Allow a minimum clearance
of 0.050-inch around the entire drive envelope for cooling airflow
and movement during shock or vibration. Shock mounts placed between
the drive and the host frame should be designed so that the system
has a vertical resonant frequency of 25 Hz or less.
Bottom mounting
---------------
Insert four mounting screws not more than 0.200 inches (6 full turns)
into the drive frame. If you use a screw that is too long, you could
damage the drive.
Standard side mounting
----------------------
Insert four mounting screws not more than 0.125 inches (4 full turns)
into the drive frame. If you use a screw that is too long, you could
damage the drive.
Three-hole side mounting
------------------------
If your system does not allow you to use all four mounting points,
you can mount the drive satisfactorily using only three screws.
Use 6-32 UNC-2A screws on drives with standard-size mounting holes.
These drives have an "S" stamped on the frame runner. Use M4 screws
on drives with metric mounting holes. These drives have an "M"
stamped on the frame runner.
Caution: Be careful not to over-tighten the screws - you could damage
the drive. (Max torque: 6 inch-Ibs).
Acoustics
---------
At a distance of 1 meter, the drive creates a sound pressure of 35
dBA at idle.
Auto-park
---------
Upon power-down, the read/write heads automatically move to the
shipping zone. The heads park inside the maximum data cylinder. When
power is applied, the heads recalibrate to track 0.
AT/XT interface connector
-------------------------
The interface cable connector is a 40-pin connector with two rows of
20 pins on 100 mil centers. The maximum cable length is 18 inches
(0.457 meters). Strain relief is recommended. Recommended cables are
shown below.
AMP P/N 1-499496-0
DuPont P/N 66900-040
A dual-drive AT system requires an AT interface daisy-chani cable. A
dual-drive XT system requires two separate XT interface cables. The
ST351A/X family drives do not use terminating resistors.

Average seek time is atrue statistical average seek time, less over-
head. It is measured by executing at least 5,000 logical read/write
commands between random sector addresses. Track-to-track seek time is
an average of all possible single-track seeks in both directories.
Full stroke seek time is one-half the time needed to seek from the
first data block to the maximum data block and back to the first
block.
All typical measurements assume a block size of 512 bytes, nominal
power at sea level, and an ambient temperature of 25*C. Maximum seek
times are measured over the full range of environmental conditions
and voltage conditions.
Environment

The ST351A/X family drives are listed in accordance with UL 478 and
CSA (0-M1982) and meet all applicable sections of VDE 0806/08.81 and
IEC 380, as tested by TUV-Rheinland, North America.
Input noise ----------- The input noise was measured at the host system power supply across an equivalent 20-ohm resistance on the +12 VDC line and an equivalent 8-ohm resistance on the +5 VDC line.
Permitted input noise ripple (max) 100mV (peak-to-peak)
Permitted input noise frequency (max) 20 MHz
