The latched operation has two configurations which are provided at

the J7 shunt, pins 5-6.

1. No jumper at J7: The Write Fault signal can only be cleared by a

power on/off cycle. Use of this option in conjuction with the DC-

Unsafe option is not recommended.

2. Pins 5-6 shorted at J7: The Write Fault signal can be cleared by

de-selecting the drive. When the drive is deselected, and the fault

condition is corrected, the Write Fault signal will be false.

2.4 DC-UNSAFE OPTION: JP2

JP2 has two jumper pads, and when a jumper is installed, a DC-unsafe

condition will cause a Write Fault to be sent to the interface. Use Fig-

ure 7on page 2-1 to locate JP2.

2.5 PRECOMPENSATION

The ST251/251R/277R do not require precompensation.

2.6 LIFE-TEST

This is a test function used during the manufacturing process and is

not recommended for field use. When pins 7-8 of J7 are shorted, the

stepper motor will continuously seek between Track 0 and the maxi-

mum cylinder and will ignore control signals sent via the interface.

ST251 /251R/277R Product Manual, Rev.A 2-3

2.2 DRIVE SELECT

The Drive Select line enables the controller to select and address the

drive. Control cable interface options may use either a daisy-chain or

radial configuration.

Pins 15-16 shorted enables Drive Select 1

Pins 13-14 shorted enables Drive Select 2

Pins 11-12 shorted enables Drive Select 3

Pins 9-10 shorted enables Drive Select 4

2.2.1 DAISY-CHAIN/RADIAL DRIVE CONFIGURATIONS

The ST251/251R/277R can be configured in either a daisy-chain or

radial mode. The radial option is enabled by shorting pins 1 and 2 at

J7. The resistor termination pack must remain installed on any radially

configured drive.

In a daisy-chain configuration, the last drive in a chain must have the

resistor termination pack installed.

2.3 WRITE FAULT LATCH OPTIONS: JP1 AND J7

These options allow the user to configure the Write Fault reset to spe-

cific system requirements.

JP1 has three jumper pads, and is located adjacent to the 34-pin J1

connector. Figure 7on page 2-1 illustrates JP1 and indicates pin-1. J7

is located midway between the PCB edge-connectors (see "2.1 Drive

Configuration Shunt J7" on page 2-1).

STANDARD: 1 and 2 jumpered on JP1

Write Fault will be cleared when Write Gate is false. A Write Fault will

only occur when Write Gate is true.

LATCHED: 2 and 3 jumpered on JP1

This option will maintain Write Fault true after Write Gate goes false

and is recommended for controllers that do not edge-detect Write Fault.

2.0 DRIVE CONFIGURATION

The ST251/251R/277R may be configured for specific system require-

ments.

2.1 DRIVE CONFIGURATION SHUNT J7

J7 is a 16-pin right-angle shunt located midway between the J1 and J2

connectors. Use the provided shorting block(s) to enable the Drive

Select line and any options. Figure 7 illustrates J7 and indicates pin 1.

1.2 ACCESS TIME DEFINITION AND TIMING FIGURE 5: Buffered-Seek Timing

1.3 STEP PULSE PERIOD AND SEEK METHOD

Access time is defined as the time from the leading edge of the first

step pulse received to Seek Complete (including settling). All seek

times are true statistical averages and are calculated with a step pulse

period of 10 jJsec. at nominal power and temperature.

The step signal is a 2jJsec. minimum width pulse which initiates read/

write head motion. The step pulse period determines the access

method. The number of pulses determines the seek length. The step

pulse period must be between 3jJsec. and 200jJsec.

Step pulses may be lost at periods greater than 200jJsec. For additional

information on step pulses and seek methods consult the Seagate
