80 MB SCSI Hard Drive (250-4160) Error Codes Faxback Doc. # 4985
* The 40/80-megabyte SCSI hard disk drive is a 3.5" form-factor Winchester
fixed disk drive.
* The 40/80-megabyte SCSI hard disk drive is compatible with the industry-
standard (ANSI) SCSI host interface.
* The 40/80-megabyte SCSI hard disk drive features an automatic shipping
lock (AIRLOCK*) that disengages when the drive is powered on and
engages when power is removed.
Note: Do not move the drive for 20 seconds after DC power is removed, to
make sure the actuator is completely locked.
* The standard drive select setting preset at the factory configures the
40/80-megabyte SCSI hard disk drive as the primary (first) disk drive.
The standard terminator setting configures the hard disk drive as the
primary disk drive. Possible pin settings for the 40/80-megabyte SCSI
hard disk drive are shown in the following chart.
Quantum ProDrive 40S/80S
The ProDrive 40S and 80S have six pairs of configuration pins that are
functionally the same on both models.
SCSI BUS DEVICE IDENTIFICATION (A0, A1, and A2) - These three pairs of pins
comprise a 3-bit binary number in which A2 is the most significant bit and
A0 is the least significant. Jumper installation represents a one, meaning
that with all three jumpers installed, the device is identified as SCSI ID
7. With no jumpers installed, the device is identified as SCSI ID 0. The
factory setting is SCSI ID 0, no jumpers installed. The A1 and A2 jumpers
are partially installed from the factory for shipping purposes only and
should be removed before installation.
WAIT SPIN (WS) - The WS jumper determines whether the drive will immediately
apply power to the drive motor at power-up. With this jumper installed, the
motor in the hard disk drive will not spin-up until the host sends a
start/stop command across the SCSI bus. If WS is not installed, the motor
will immediately start spinning when power is applied. The factory setting
is WS not installed, the motor will spin immediately on power-up.
ENABLE PARITY (EP) - The EP jumper determines whether data across the SCSI
bus will be checked for parity. If EP is installed, parity is checked; with
EP removed, no parity checking is performed. The factory setting is EP
installed, parity checking enabled.
SELF SEEK (SS) - The SS jumper is provided as a method to continuously
exercise the actuator of the drive. With the SS jumper installed, the drive
will perform random seek patterns, and communication with the SCSI bus will
be cut off. The factory setting is SS not installed, no self seek test.
The ProDrive disk drives contains three resistor networks in sockets, to
terminate the SCSI bus. Be sure the three resistors are installed to
configure the hard disk as the primary drive. Remove the resistors to use
the 40/80-megabyte hard disk drive as the secondary drive.
SENSE ERROR CODES
Sense Additional
Key Sense Code
(hex) (hex) Description
0 NO SENSE. Indicates there is no specific sense key
information to be reported.
00 No additional information.
1 RECOVERED ERROR. Indicates that the last command was
completed successfully with some recovery action
performed by the ProDrive. Details may be determined
by examining the additional sense bytes and the
information bytes.
00 No additional information

96 Recovered bump
97 Recovered underrun/overrun error
98 Recovered timeout in settling
A8 Spurious nmi interrupt

2 NOT READY. Indicates that the ProDrive cannot be accessed.
Operator intervention may be required to correct this
condition.
00 No additional information
B0 Drive recalibrating
B1 Drive not up to speed
B2 Drive waiting for command to start
3 MEDIUM ERROR. Indicates that the command terminated with a
non-recovered error condition that was probably caused by
a flaw in the medium or an error in the recorded data.

81 Can't read system sector
95 SOLO timeout
97 Underrun/overrun error
A3 Reassign Blocks READ failure
AA Reallocated uncorrectable data read

a non-recoverable hardware failure while performing
the command.
