3.0 General description Savvio drives combine Tunneling Magnetoresistive (TMR) heads and a Fibre Channel interface to provide high performance, high capacity data storage for a variety of systems including engineering workstations, network servers, mainframes, and supercomputers. Savvio drives also support 4-Gbit Fibre Channel which can transfer data at up to 400 Mbytes per second and 800 Mbytes per second in dual-loop configurations. Savvio drives support the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) and SCSI Fibre Channel Protocol as described in the ANSI specifications, this document, the SCSI Commands Reference Manual (part number 100293068), and the Fibre Channel Interface Manual (part number 100293070) which describes the general interface characteristics of this drive. Savvio drives are classified as intelligent peripherals and provide level 2 conformance (highest level) with the ANSI SCSI-1 standard. Note. Never disassemble the HDA and do not attempt to service items in the sealed enclosure (heads, media, actuator, etc.) as this requires special facilities. The drive does not contain user-replaceable parts. Opening the HDA for any reason voids your warranty. Savvio drives use a dedicated landing zone at the innermost radius of the media to eliminate the possibility of destroying or degrading data by landing in the data zone. The heads automatically go to the landing zone when power is removed from the drive. An automatic shipping lock prevents potential damage to the heads and discs that results from movement during shipping and handling. The shipping lock disengages and the head load process begins when power is applied to the drive. The drives also use a high-performance actuator assembly with a low-inertia, balanced, patented, straight arm design that provides excellent performance with minimal power dissipation.
