    Any SCSI ID of the HDD can be selected using the setup pins. However, the LUN is fixed to zero (0). The SCSI ID can be 0 to 15. Note: The maximum number of SCSI devices and the maximum cable length are limited depending on the selected SCSI data transfer mode and the SCSI transceiver type.

  • Page 21: Interface Signal Definition

    Interface Signal Definition Figure 1.2 shows interface signal types. The SCSI bus consists of 27 signal lines. The 27 signal lines consist of data buses (2 bytes plus two odd parity bits) and 9 control signal lines. The SCSI bus can be a single-ended or low voltage differential(LVD) interface depending on the model used.

  • Page 22: Figure 1.3 Data Bus And Scsi Id

    DB15 to DB00, P1, P_CRCA (Data buses) The 16-bit SCSI system uses a bidirectional data bus consisting of two-byte data and two odd parity bits. MSB (2 ): DB15, LSB (2 ): DB00 The data bus is used to transfer a command, data, a status, or a message in the INFORMATION TRANSFER phase.
  • Page 23 (d) P1 (data group transfer enabled) A signal that shall be continuously negated by the SCSI device driving the DB(15-0) signals and shall be ignored by the SCSI device receiving the DB(15-0) signals during DT DATA phases. (e) P1 (information unit and paced transfer enabled) A signal that is sourced by SCSI device to indicate the data valid or data invalid state.
  • Page 24 BSY (BUSY) The BSY signal indicates that the SCSI bus is in use. In the ARBITRATION phase, this signal is used to request for the bus usage priority. SEL (SELECT) The SEL signal is used by the INIT to select a TARG (in the SELECTION phase) or by the TARG to reselect an INIT (in the RESELECTION phase).

  • Page 25: Physical Requirements

    REQ (REQUEST) This is a transmission request from the TARG to the INIT in the INFORMATION TRANSFER phase. ACK (ACKNOWLEDGE) The ACK signal is a response to the REQ signal sent from the INIT to TARG in the INFORMATION TRANSFER phase. ATN (ATTENTION) The ATN signal indicates that the INIT has a message to be sent to the TARG.

  • Page 65: Bus Phases

    Bus Phases The SCSI bus must be in one of the following eight phases: • BUS FREE phase • ARBITRATION phase • SELECTION phase • RESELECTION phase • COMMAND phase • DATA phase INFORMATION TRANSFER phase • STATUS phase • MESSAGE phase The SCSI bus can never be in more than one phase at any given time.

  • Page 66: Figure 1.25 Bus Free Phase

    1.6.1 BUS FREE phase All SCSI devices do not use the bus in the BUS FREE phase. SCSI devices shall detect the BUS FREE phase after SEL and BSY signals are both false for one Bus Settle Delay. SCSI devices which have detected the BUS FREE phase shall release all bus signals within one Bus Clear Delay after BSY and SEL signals become false for Bus Settle Delay.

  • Page 67: Arbitration Phase

    The SCSI bus enters the BUS FREE phase when the TARG stops the BSY signal in one of the following events: • When RESET condition has been detected. • When TARG has received the following message normally. ABORT TASK, ABORT TASK SET, CLEAR TASK SET, LOGICAL UNIT RESET, TARG RESET, CLEAR ACA •...
  • Page 68 3) Then the SCSI device that arbitrates the bus asserts the DATA BUS bit corresponding to its own SCSI ID and BSY signal (*1) within Bus Set Delay after the last observation of the BUS FREE phase. 4) After waiting at least Arbitration Delay since the SCSI device asserted BSY signal, the SCSI device shall examine the value on the DATA BUS to determine the priority of the bus arbitration (*1).

  • Page 70: 1.6.2.2 Qas Arbitration

    1.6.2.2 QAS ARBITRATION QAS protocol QAS allows a TARG with an information unit transfer agreement in effect and QAS enabled (see 2.3.22 that is currently connected to an INIT that has QAS enabled to transfer control of the bus to another SCSI device that has QAS enabled without an intervening BUS FREE phase.
  • Page 71 4) If the INIT creates an attention condition then the TARG will go to a MESSAGE OUT phase, receive all the message bytes, and cause an unexpected bus free by generating a BUS FREE phase. 5) If the TARG detects the SEL signal being true, the TARG will release the BSY, MSG, C/D, and I/O signals within one QAS release delay.

  • Page 72: Selection Phase

    The SCSI ID bit is a single bit on the DATA BUS that corresponds to the SCSI device's unique SCSI address. All other DATA BUS bits shall be released by the SCSI device. The DB(P_CRCA) and DB(P1) are not valid during the QAS phase. During the QAS phase, DB(P_CRCA), and DB(P1) may be released or asserted, but shall not be actively driven false.
  • Page 73 Note: If single INIT operates without the RESELECTION phase, it is allowed to assert only the TARG's SCSI ID. 3) After waiting at least Deskew Delay × 2, the INIT asserts SEL signal and waits the response (BSY signal) from the TARG. Start sequence with ARBITRATION phase In systems with ARBITRATION phase implemented, the INIT starts the SELECTION phase in the following sequence (see Figure 1.28).
  • Page 74 The TARG must response to the INIT by asserting the BSY signal within Selection Abort Time since the TARG detects that the TARG is selected. If the SCSI ID with three or more bits is detected, or if a parity error is detected under the system that the parity bit is enabled, the TARG shall not respond to the SELECTION phase.

  • Page 76: Reselection Phase

    1.6.4 RESELECTION phase The SCSI device operated as a TARG selects an INIT in the RESELECTION phase. This phase is an option for the system, and this phase can only be used in systems with the ARBITRATION phase implemented. When the TARG re-starts the command processing under the disconnection on the SCSI bus, the TARG reconnects with the INIT using this phase.
  • Page 77 Response sequence If a SCSI unit (INIT to be selected) detects the SEL and I/O signals and data bus bit (DBn) corresponding to the own SCSI ID are all true and if it detects the BSY signal which is false for at least Bus Settle Delay, the SCSI unit shall recognize that it is selected in the RESELECTION phase.

  • Page 78: Figure 1.29 Reselection Phase

    Timeout procedure If the TARG cannot detect a response (BSY signal) from the INIT when the Selection Timeout Delay or longer has passed after starting the RESELECTION phase, the timeout procedure shall be performed though one of the following schemes: 1) The TARG asserts the TRUE signal and generates an RESET condition.

  • Page 79: Information Transfer Phases

    1.6.5 INFORMATION TRANSFER phases The COMMAND, DATA, STATUS and MESSAGE phases are generally called the INFORMATION TRANSFER phase. This phase can transfer the control information and data between the INIT and TARG via the data bus. The type of INFORMATION TRANSFER phase is determined by the combination of C/D, I/O, and MSG signals (see Table 1.1).

  • Page 80: 1.6.5.1 Asynchronous Transfer Mode

    Notes: After the ACK signal becomes false in the current INFORMATION TRANSFER phase, the TARG can start preparing a new phase by changing the status of C/D, I/O and MSG signals. The status of these three signals can change in any order or at once. The status of one signal may change more than once;...

  • Page 167: Message Explanation

    Message Explanation This section explains the function of each message. The following symbols are used for message identification. Symbols: (I→T): The message which can be sent from the INIT to the TARG only. (T→I): The message which can be sent from the TARG to the INIT only. (I↔T): The message which can be sent between the INIT and TARG in any direction.

  • Page 168: Initiator Detected Error Message: X'05'(I→T)

    The TARG continues command processing by itself, and reconnects the INIT when necessary (by reconnect processing) to continue command execution on the SCSI bus. This message cannot request the INIT for saving of the current data pointer. Note: To start disconnect processing during data transfer, the TARG must send the SAVE DATA POINTER message for saving of data pointer before sending this message.

  • Page 169: Message Reject Message: X'07'(I↔T)

    • TARGET RESET message: Clear all I/O operations of all INITs existing on all LUNs of the TARG. • CLEAR TASK SET message: Clear all I/O operations of all INITs existing on a specific LUN. • ABORT TASK SET message: Clear all I/O operations of a specific INIT existing on a specific LUN.

  • Page 170: Linked Task Complete Message: X'0A'(T→I)

    2.3.10 LINKED TASK COMPLETE message: X'0A'(T→I) The LINKED TASK COMPLETE message indicates that the link command (with flag bit 0) has been executed normally and that the valid status byte has been posted to the INIT. When the INIT receives this message, it shall update both the current pointer and Saved pointer to the initial values of the next linked command.

  • Page 171: Continue Task Message: X'12' (I→T)

    2.3.14 CONTINUE TASK message: X'12' (I→T) The CONTINUE TASK message is sent from the INIT to the TARG to reconnect to a task. This message shall be sent as one of the messages within the consecutive message out phases sent after the IDENTIFY message.

  • Page 172: Logical Unit Reset Message : X'1C' (I→T)

    When the TARG is ready to transfer data for a disconnected task for which a TARGET TRANSFER DISABLE message has been sent, the TARG shall reconnect to the INIT for the task (via a reselection phase and consecutive message in phases containing an IDENTIFY message, and an optional SIMPLE message), send a DISCONNECT message, and, if the INIT does not respond with a MESSAGE REJECT message, generate a bus free phase.

  • Page 173: Ignore Wide Residue Message: X'23' (T→I)

    If the TARG reconnects to the INIT to continue a tagged I/O operation, the TARG sends the SIMPLE message immediately after the IDENTIFY message in the reconnection sequence of the same MESSAGE IN phase. SIMPLE message: X'20'(I↔T) The SIMPLE message specifies that the task be placed in that logical unit's queue. The order of execution is determined by the HDD.

  • Page 174: Identify Message: X'80' To X'ff' (I↔T)

    INIT renews the current data pointer according to the invalid number of data bytes notified by this message. Note: The number of effective bytes of data which transfers by the data phase and boundary need not use this message at the data out phase because TARG controls. 2.3.19 IDENTIFY message: X'80' to X'FF' (I↔T) This message specifies the logical unit number (LUN) for the device (logical unit) under the...

  • Page 175: Synchronous Data Transfer Request Message (I↔T)

    If the INIT receives this message in the reconnection sequence, the INIT shall save the Saved pointer value of the specified LUN in the current pointer before completing the current message transfer phase (or before negating the ACK signal). 2.3.20 SYNCHRONOUS DATA TRANSFER REQUEST message (I↔T) Byte X'01'...
  • Page 176 When a SCSI device executes data transfer, it must not send REQ or ACK pulses exceeding the parameter limits which have been set by the two SCSI devices by exchange of the SYNCHRONOUS DATA TRANSFER REQUEST message. However, the SCSI device can transfer data using a larger Transfer Period or a smaller REQ/ACK Offset.
  • Page 177 mode setting for synchronous transfer between the INIT and the TARG must be set to the asynchronous mode. Procedures of the message exchange initiated by the TARG If the TARG has recognized the synchronous data transfer to be set and if the synchronous data transfer request is enabled by the CHANGE DEFINITION command, the TARG sends the SYNCHRONOUS DATA TRANSFER REQUEST message to the INIT.

  • Page 178: Table 2.4 Synchronous Mode Data Transfer Request Setting

    The default data transfer mode between SCSI devices is asynchronous data transfer. The asynchronous data transfer mode shall be selected when the power supply is turned on, a TARGET RESET message is received, a RESET condition occurs, or a WIDE DATA TRANSFER REQUEST message is received.
  • Page 179 (b) Transfer mode establishment The default transfer mode is released, and the synchronous transfer mode or the asynchronous transfer mode is selected by the exchange of SYNCHRONOUS DATA TRANSFER REQUEST message. This mode is kept for each INIT individually and data transfer mode and synchronous mode parameters of each INIT differ each other.

  • Page 185 If the TARG enters the MESSAGE IN phase and first sends the MESSAGE REJECT message to the INIT immediately after the INIT has responded with the WIDE DATA TRANSFER REQUEST message, such message exchange is made invalid and the two SCSI devices shall set the 8-bit data bus width between them.

    ended in error, the transfer width between it and the INIT, and the synchronous mode will change to the default transfer mode. Note: When the INIT requests for a change of data bus width, the HDD responds to the request. At this time, the current synchronous transfer mode is reset to the default asynchronous transfer mode.

    (b) Without ATTENTION condition If the ATTENTION condition does not exist, the HDD does not send the WIDE DATA TRANSFER REQUEST message to the INIT. In such case, the 8-bit bus width is set between the HDD and the INIT. Table 2.9 Wide mode setting request from the HDD to the INIT Message from TARG...

  • Page 188: Table 2.10 Transfer Period Factor Field

    Table 2.10 TRANSFER PERIOD FACTOR field CODE DESCRIPTION X'00'-X'07' Reserved Transfer period equals 6.25ns (note 2). This code is only valid if the X'08' PROTOCOL OPTIONS field has a value selected that supports precompensation, information units, and double-transition data transfers. Transfer period equals 12.5ns (note 3).
  • Page 189 The protocol options bits (PCOMP_EN, RTI, RD_STRM, WR_FLOW, IU_REQ, DT_REQ, QAS_REQ, and HOLD_MCS) are used by the originating SCSI device to indicate the protocol options to be enabled. The responding SCSI device uses the protocol options bits to indicate the protocol options requested by the originating SCSI device the responding SCSI device has enabled.

  • Page 190: Table 2.11 Valid Protocol Options Bit Combinations

    A DT enable request bit (DT_REQ) of zero indicates that DT DATA phases are to be disabled when received from the originating SCSI device and that DT DATA phases are not supported when received from the responding SCSI device. An DT_REQ bit of one indicates that DT DATA phases are to be enabled when received from the originating SCSI device and that DT DATA phases are supported when received from the responding SCSI device.
  • Page 191 A PARALLEL PROTOCOL REQUEST message exchange shall be initiated by a SCSI device whenever a previously arranged parallel protocol agreement may have become invalid. The agreement becomes invalid after any condition that may leave the parallel protocol agreement in an indeterminate state such as: a) RESET condition ("hardware RESET") occurrence b) TARGET RESET message reception c) Power turned off...

  • Page 193 Following a TARG's responding PARALLEL PROTOCOL REQUEST message, an implied agreement for data transfers shall not be considered to exist until; a) the INIT receives the last byte of the PARALLEL PROTOCOL REQUEST message and parity is valid; and b) the TARG does not detect an attention condition on the last byte of the PARALLEL PROTOCOL REQUEST message.

  • Page 194: Chapter 3 Error Recovery

    CHAPTER 3 ERROR RECOVERY Error Conditions and Retry Procedure Recovery Control This chapter describes the SCSI bus errors and their recovery by the HDD. Note: If a severe error has occurred, the HDD may switch the SCSI bus to the BUS FREE phase without sending the DISCONNECT or TASK COMPLETE message to the INIT.
  • Page 195 COMMAND phase parity error When the HDD detects a parity error in the COMMAND phase, it retries the Command Phase up to 3 times. If the HDD fails to recover a parity error, it proceeds to the next procedure. If the LUN is already identified by the IDENTIFY message, the HDD terminates the command with the CHECK CONDITION status.
  • Page 196 Rejected messages When the HDD receives a MESSAGE REJECT message from the INIT, the HDD executes one of the following depending on the rejected message type: a. TASK COMPLETE The HDD enters the BUS FREE phase immediately, and does not consider this as an error. b.
  • Page 197 g. SAVE DATA POINTER When rejecting this message for disconnection of the SCSI bus, the HDD continues the currently executing command without disconnection as the DISCONNECT message is rejected. h. SIMPLE When this message sent next to the IDENTIFY message at reconnection is rejected, the HDD immediately enters the BUS FREE phase and terminates the command which has requested the reconnection abnormally.
  • Page 198 The retry count for the timeout of RESELECTION phase can be set by the CHANGE DEFINITION command. For details, see Section 1.6.11. Errors concerning message protocol If the HDD detects an ATTENTION condition in the SELECTION phase and it receives the message except for the following messages from the INIT in its response to the ATTENTION condition (the MESSAGE OUT phase), the HDD considers it as an error in the message protocol and enters the BUS FREE phase immediately.

  • Page 199: Recovery Control

    Recovery Control The HDD performs the error recovery for some kinds of SCSI bus errors (see Section 3.1). All recovery procedures are based on the protocol of SCSI bus phase. Note: If the INIT does not generate an ATTENTION condition, the HDD does not use any message except for the TASK COMPLETE message.
