Dimensions and Mounting
-----------------------
The drives use industry-standard mounting techniques for 3 -inch
full-height Winchester disk drives.
The drive is designed such that the outer frame should be hard
mounted to the host equipment; no additional/external shock mounts
should be used.
Recommended orientation is vertical on either side, or horizontal
with the Device Electronics board down; other mounting orientations
may be used.
No matter what mounting orientation is used, Micropolis specifies
that the maximum HDA casting temperature not exceed 60*C (140*F).
Mounting Screws
---------------
3 per side 6-32 UNC-2B thru
4 on bottom 6-32 UNC-2B thru
Caution: The mounting screws must be selected so that they do not
penetrate the bottom mounting holes by more than 0.20 inches or the
side mounting holes by more than 0.156 inches.
Screws that are too long will short to PCBA components and/or prevent
proper operation of the shock mount system and may damage the HDA.
Interface Electrical Characteristics
------------------------------------
Interface control, data, and status signals are TTL compatible in
both send and receive directions. Maximum cable length is 18 inches.
The following cable specification are provided to ensure system
integrity.
Driver IOL sink current = 12 milliamps (minimum)

are supplied to the drive via this connector. This power connector
is the industry standard and is used in most applications.
Mating Connector: AMP 1-480424-0 or equivalent
Pins: AMP 350078-4
Suggested Wire Size: 18 AWG
Ground Connector J4
-------------------
3/16-inch spade lug J4 is provided for grounding. Systems
characteristics determine proper ground connection.
Mating connector: AMP 60972-2 or equivalent.
Adjustments and Maintenance
---------------------------
2112A drives requires no adjustments or periodic maintenance;
additionally, no mechanical adjustments are required to prepare a
system for handling or shipment.
Field-Replacable Components
---------------------------
The concept of repair by replacement of complete functional
components is utilized in the 2112A, resulting in an MTTR of less
than 15 minutes.

How to Access Large Capacity IDE Disk Driver
--------------------------------------------
Many disk drive users think that the IDE interface cannot be used
with high capacity disk drives. This is absolutely not so!
The Disk Operating System (DOS) provides for the file system stored
in the disk drive. The application programs access the disk drives
by activating specific DOS interrupts. The DOS interrupt service
program activates the DOS disk drive device driver that services disk
access request. The DOS driver activates the BIOS interrupt 13H. The
BIOS program services disk access request by activating the disk
drive IDE interface commands.
The ONTRACK MANAGER utility software including the following
features:
a. Automated installation and setup
b. Driver software for single drive 1 GB operation
c. Read/Write multiple sector performance driver
Set Drive Parameters Command
----------------------------
- Drive types are used by BIOS. Saved in CMOS memory
- The user can define the drive types
- Both host and drives are powered up together
- The host issues a "set drive parameters" command to set the
number of sectors per track and the maximum head address
- The drive calculates the number of logical cylinders based on its
capacity
DOS to BIOS Communication
-------------------------
The DOS device driver accesses the disk drive for read or write by
setting the parameter block and the command code in the 80xx6
microprocessor registers and then activating BIOS Interrupt 13H.
DOS can also interrogate the disk drive parameters by setting a
specific command code in the 80286 register, activating Interrupt
13H, and the reading the disk drive parameters from the communication
registers. The communication registers used to interrogate the disk
drive parameters are defined in the following table.
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| The disk drive capacity DOS can access via Interrupt 13H is |
| limited to 8.4 GByte. This limitation stems from the DOS-to- |
| BIOS communication register. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| The maximum number of cylinders that can be addressed by using|
| Interrupt 13H is 1024 (10 bits). |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| The maximum number of heads that can be addressed by using |
| Interrupt 13H is 256 (8 bits) |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| The maximum number of sectors that can be addressed by using |
| Interrupt 13H is 63 (6 bits can provide for 64 sectors but |
| sector number 0 is not used) |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| Multiplying through yields 1024 x 256 x 63 x 512 = 8.4 GB |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
BIOS to IDE Communication
-------------------------
The BIOS communicates with the disk drives via the IDE interface.
The IDE interface provides for 1 bit of drive address allowing for
two IDE drives to connect to the BIOS, 16 bits of cylinder address,
4 bits of head address, and 8 bits of sector number.
The disk drive capacity that BIOS can access via the IDE interface
is limited to 136.9 GByte. This limitation is set by the IDE inter-
face parameter registers as shown in the following table.
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| The maximum number of cylinders that can be addressed by using|
| the IDE interface is 65536 (16 bis). |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| The maximum number of heads that can be addressed by using |
| the IDE interface is 16 (4 bis). |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| The maximum number of sectors that can be addressed by using |
| the IDE interface is 255 (8 bis can provide for 256 sectors |
| but sector number 0 is not used). |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| The sector size is fixed at 512 data bytes per sector. |
| Multiplying through yield 65536 x 16 x 255 x 512 = 136.9 GB |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
Existing BIOS Disk Addressing Limit
-----------------------------------
The existing BIOS designs receive the cylinder address, head address,
and sector number from DOS and pass them to the IDE disk drive. Be-
cause the IDE interface is limited to 16 heads and the DOS-to-BIOS
interface is limited to 1024 cylinders and 63 sectors the PC disk
addressing capabilities is limited to:
1024 x 16 x 63 x 512 = 528.5 MB
As one can see, that the limitation is because existing BIOS designs
pass the disk drive parameters provided by DOS to the IDE disk drive.
Disk Drive Types in the CMOS Memory
-----------------------------------
The CMOS memory is a battery backed up storage used to hold configur-
ation information. The CMOS memory saves the number of disk drives
installed in the PC and the disk drive type information. The disk
drive type information consists of the number of cylinders, the
number of heads, and the number of sectors per head that the disk
drive has. Other disk drive type information (such as the landing
zone address) are not applicable to this discussion. The BIOS can
calculate the capacity of the disk drive from the CMOS parameters.
BIOS Power Up Sequence
----------------------
On power up, the BIOS program is activated by the computer hardware.
The BIOS program establishes the interrupt vectors (interrupt service
routine memory addresses) for the BIOS calls. After the default
values are in place, the BIOS program scans for additional BIOS
modules installed on adapter cards. The additional BIOS modules gain
control and establish or intercept interrupt vectors to hook them-
selves into the system. The additionally BIOS modules can provide
extended functionality, or specifically, can change the Interrupt 13H
interface characteristics.
