Cheetah 15K.3 FC Product Manual, Rev. D 59 The Active LED Out signal is designed to pull down the cathode of an LED. The anode is attached to the proper +5 volt supply through an appropriate current limiting resistor. The LED and the current limiting resistor are external to the drive. 9.5.9 Enable port bypass signals The - Enable Bypass Port A (- EN BYP Port A) and - Enable Bypass Port B (- EN BYP Port B) signals control the port bypass circuits (PBC) located external to the disc drive. The PBC allows a loop to remain functional in the event of a drive failure or removal. When these signals are active, low, the PBC bypasses the drive on the associated port. When an Enable Bypass signal is active, the corresponding Port Bypass LED signal in connector J1 is driven low by the disc drive. A pull down resistor, 1K, located with the PBC should be used to insure the bypass is enabled if the disc drive is not installed. The Enable Bypass signal is active under failing conditions within the drive, on detection of the Loop Port Bypass primitive sequence, or on removal of the drive. In the bypass state the drive continues to receive on the inbound fibre. Enable Bypass may be deactivated by detection of a Loop Port Enable primitive sequence if the drive has completed self-test and a hardware failure is not present. Failure modes detected by the disc drive that will enable bypass include: • Transmitter/receiver wrap test failure • Loss of receive clock • Loss of transmission clock • Drive interface hardware error 9.5.10 Motor start controls The drive's motor is started according to the Start_1 and Start_2 signals described in Table 23. The state of these signals can be wired into the backplane socket or driven by logic on the backplane. Table 23: Motor start control signals Case 1 2 3 Start_2 Low High Low 4 High Start_1 Low Low High High Motor spin function Motor spins up at DC power on. Motor spins up only when SCSI Start command is received. Motor spins up after a delay of 12 seconds times the modulo 8 value of the numeric SEL ID of the drive from DC power on. The drive will not spin up. 9.5.11 SEL_6 through SEL_0 ID lines The SEL_6 through SEL_0 ID lines determine drive address, and, optionally, for an Enclosure Services Interface. When the Parallel ESI line is high, the enclosure backpanel must provide address information on the SEL line. Refer to table 24 for a mapping of SEL to FC-AL physical addresses (AL_PA). You can think of the SEL lines as the equivalent of a backpanel logic plug. The drives does not provide pull up resistors on these lines. The backpanel is required to provide high and low inputs to the SEL_ID lines per the specifications in table 26 on page 62. Note. Table 24 gives AL_PA values for each SEL value. The first entry in the table is SEL_ID 00. The last entry is SEL_ID 7D. SEL_ID 7E is AL_PA 00 which is not valid for an NL_Port, so is not included in the table. Also, SEL_ID 7Fh does map to a valid AL_PA; however, this value signals the drive that physical addresses are not being assigned using the SEL lines and that a "soft" address will be determined by FC-AL loop initialization. When the Parallel ESI line is low, the enclosure backpanel logic switches to ESI mode if supported. There are two modes of ESI, seven bits of enclosure status and a bidirectional mode. ESI support and the mode are determined by the drive using a discovery process. Refer to the Fibre Channel Interface Manual for a description of ESI operation.
