 Note: Unit select zero (no jumpers) is invalid

 Pins on the drive ID select and configuration select header are
 provided to facilitate manual drive configuration. No devices other
 than jumpers should be connected to these pins. Connection to
 external devices (Switches, Connectors, etc.) could adversely affect
 drive performance. Exact location of these pins and header may be
 changed without notice.


 Drive Select
 ------------
 The following characteristics apply to the Drive Select lines:

  1.   Logical unit designation for up to 7 drives is performed during
       installation by installing jumpers on pins on a connector
       header on the main PWA. The jumpers are installed in a 1
       through 7 position configuration to select device addresses 1
       through 7. Zero is not a valid address.

  2.   The controller shall not attempt to select the drive until 1
       second after DC power is applied. The Ready output will be
       valid (whether asserted or negated) within 1 us after the drive
       is selected.

  3.   The drive will be selected (and the Drive Selected Signal
       asserted) within 1 us after the Drive Select lines contain that
       unit's select address. The drive will be deselected (and the
       Drive Selected signal negated) within 1 us after the Drive
       Select lines contain another unit's select address.

  4.   The Drive Select lines must remain asserted for 1 us after a
       write operation.

  5.   When the Drive Select lines are asserted, a head change will
       occur, requiring a delay before a read or write operation can
       be initiated.

 Drive Orientation
 -----------------
 Only two drive mounting orientations are permitted: discs in the
 horizontal plane and discs in the vertical plane. The uppermost
 surface must be maintained in a level position or drive performance
 may be adversely affected. In the vertical plane, the drive may be
 mounted on either side, but not on either end. The drive may be not
 mounted inverted (upside down) in the horizontal orientation. It is
 recommended for optimum performance that data written in a given
 orientation be read in that same orientation.


 WREN 5 is designed, manufactured, and tested with a "Plug-in and
 Play" installation philosophy. This minimizes the requirements for
 highly trained personnel to integrate the WREN 5 into an OEM's
 system, wether in a factory or field environment.


 Cooling
 -------
 Cabinet cooling must be designed by the customer so that the ambient
 temperature immediately surrounding the WREN 5 will not exceed
 temperature limits. Specific consideration should be given to
 make ensure adequate air circulation around the heat sinks on the
 circuit board on the rear of the drive.

 parallel on a common control cable. Only the drive selected by the
 host system has its control and data signals enabled through this
 common interface. View B shouws illustrates a daisychain of WREN 5
 Disc Drives or other ESDI devices. A terminator resistor pack is
 required in the host controller for each data cable. Only the last
 ESDI device in the daisychain requires a terminator resistor pack for
 the control cable. Terminator resistor packs for the control cable or
 other drives must be removed. The total combined control cable length
 (from the controller to the first drive, to the second and subsequent
 drives) must not be more than 10 feet (3.00 meters).

 Interface Drivers/Receivers
 ---------------------------
 The WREN 5 uses two types of signals; single ended and balanced
 differential. The data and clock signals use balanced differential
 drivers and receivers. All other signals use single ended drivers and
 receivers.

 Single Ended Drivers/Receivers
 -------------------------------
 Transmitter Characteristics
 The WREN 5 uses the 74F38 open collector buffer/driver to transmit
 status to the host. This driver is capable of sinking a current of
 40 mA with a low-level output voltage of 0.7V.

 Receiver Characteristics
 The WREN 5 uses the 74LS14 Hex Inverter with hysteresis gate as a
 line receiver. The input of each receiver is terminated in a 150 ohm
 pullup resistor.

 Terminator Characteristics
 The terminator is a resistor module that plugs into a socket in the
 last drive in a daisychain. Each drive is furnished with a
 terminator. Terminators must be removed from all except the last
 drive on the cable prior to daisychain operation. An equivalent
 terminator must be provided in the controller on each input signal
 line from the drive to the controller. Only the control cable
 resistor module is removable.


 Balanced Differential Drivers/Receivers
 ---------------------------------------
 Transmitter Characteristics
 The WREN 5 uses 75158 balanced differential driver. An assertion on
 the interface is defined when "+" output is more positive than the
 "-" output.

 Receiver Characteristics
 ------------------------
 The WREN 5 uses 75157 type balanced differential receivers. An
 assertion one on the interface is defined when the "+" input is more
 positive than the "-" input.

 Terminator Requirements
 -----------------------
 Each differential receiver in the drive is terminated with a 100 ohm
 resistor. An equivalent terminator must be provided in the controller
 on each input signal line from the drive to the controller.

 Standards
 ---------
 The WREN 5 has been developed as a system peripherals to the highest
 standards of design and construction. The WREN 5 depends upon its
 equipment to provide adequate power and environment in order to
 achieve optimum performance and compliance with applicable industry
 and governmental regualations. Special attention must be given in the
 areas of safety, power distribution, shielding, audible noise
 control, and temperature regulation.

 The WREN 5 complies with Seagate standards.

 The WREN 5 is a UL Recognized component per UL478 and a CSA Certified
 product per CSA C22.2, No. 220-M1986. It also meets the requirements
 of DIN IEC 380/VDE 0806/8.81, DIN IEC 435/VDE 0805/11.84 and EN
 60950/09.87.

 The WREN 5, as delivered, is designed for system integration before
 use. It is supplied as a sub-assembly and is therefore not directly
 subject to the FCC Rules and Regulations, Part 15, Subpart J
 governing EMI of computing devices, and the Radio Interference
 Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.

 Media Description
 -----------------
 The media used in the WREN 5 has a diameter of approximately 5
 inches (130 mm). The aluminum substrate is coated with a thin film
 magnetic material, and lubricated to permit the heads to contact the
 surface when starting and stopping.

 Each data surface has either a total of 1412 tracks and is capable of
 recording 29,482,560 bytes of unformatted data, or has 1224 Tracks
 capable of recording 25,557,120 Bytes of unformatted data.

 Media defects are characterized as correctable or uncorrectable de-
 pending on the type and magnitude of the media flaw. Various error
 correction codes may be implemented. The code chosen should be
 consistent with Seagate media testing and certification methods. In
 the WREN 5 media certification is performed using the following
 standards:
            An error burst of 11 bits or less is a correctable error.

            An error burst greater than 11 bits in length is an un-
            correctable error.

 Host systems using the WREN 5 should have, as a minimum, resident
 capabilities to recognize and map defective tracks and perform track
 reallocation routines.

       1. 1224 or 1412 total tracks per surface.

       2. Tracks 0 to be error free on each data surface.

       3. 30 defects per surface maximum.

       4. Cumulative defects not to exceed 1 per megabyte, based on
          total available unformatted drive capacity.



 Drive/Receiver Characteristics
 ------------------------------
 Logic Level                   Drive Output         Receiver Input
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 High (negated) (0)      2.5 V;   5.25 V      2.0 V;   5.25 V
 Low (asserted) (1)      0.7 V;   0.0 V       0.8 V;   0.0 V

 The difference in the voltages between input and output signals is
 due to the losses in the cable.


 Seek Time
 ---------

                                          | ST4383E|ST4384E|ST4442E
        ----------------------------------+--------+-------+--------
        Track-to-Track         msec. typ. |   4    |    3  |    3
                               msec. max. |   5    |    4  |    4
                       Average msec. typ. |  18    |  14.5 |   16
                       Average msec. max. |  20    |  16.5 |   18
        Latency                msec. avg. |   8.33 |   8.33|    8.33
        ----------------------------------+--------+-------+--------

 Seek time is defined as the elapsed time from the receipt of a seek
 command until the drive signals the controller that it is ready to
 perform another seek or a read/write function on the new cylinder.
 Average seek time is determined by dividing the sum of the time for
 all possible movements by the total number of movements.


 Spindle Speed and Latency
 -------------------------
 The spindle speed is 3600   0.5% r/min. The speed tolerance includes
 motor performance and motor control circuit tolerances.

 The average latency time is 8.33 milliseconds, based on a nominal
 disc speed of 3600 r/min. The maximum latency time is 16.67 milli-
 seconds based on a maximum disc speed of 3564 r/min.


 Read Data Transfer Rate
 -----------------------
 The nominal read serial data transfer rate is 10.0 Mbits per second,
 1.25 Megabytes per second.


 Power Sequencing
 ----------------
 Power sequencing is not required for the WREN 5. The drive protects
 against inadvertent writing during power up and down. Daisychain
 operation requires that power be maintained on the terminated unit
 to insure proper termination of the peripherals I/O cables.


 Temperature
 -----------
 50*F to 122*F (10*C to 50*C) operating ambient with a maximum
 gradient of 36* F (20* C) per hour. The maximum temperature is
 derated linearly to 1.8* F per 1640 feet. Cabinet packaging designs
 must provide ample air circulation around the WREN 5 to ensure
 environmental limits are not exceeded as a result of heat transfer
 from other system components. Operating Ambient is defined as the
 average temperature 0.25 inch outward from the top of the drive
 chassis at the middle of the drive (lengthwise). The temperature of
 the top cover must not exceed 140*F (60* C) when measured at the
 center of the drive.


 Reliability
 -----------
 The following reliability specifications assume correct host/drive
 operational interface implementation, including all interface
 timings, power supply voltages, environmental conditions, and
 appropriate data handling circuits in the host system.

 MTBF                     100,000 hours
 Service Life             5 years
 Preventive Maintenance   None required
