9. Similarly RAID controllers may need to enable SSC on drive configurations with SSC disabled by default to reduce EMI Disable SSC Host products that do not support SSC cannot detect the presence of the disc drive Therefore in order to disable SSC the drive must be attached to another host platform that does support SSC so that the feature can be disabled Once SSC is turned off the drive can be returned to the original host system Enable SSC If the drive has SSC turned off by default and SSC is required for a large multi drive environment the target system is usually supported by the SSC software RAID controllers however can pose a barrier to communicating with the SATA at the low hardware level required to make the SSC change If your RAID controller is not Supported then a more standard SATA system may be needed to toggle SSC on the drive Once SSC is turned on the drive can be returned to the original RAID controller There are many accounts on the Internet about problems arising from HBAs Host Bus Adapter not supporting SSC as required Disk drive vendors that tried turning on SSC have had to provide consumers special programs or jumpers to turn SSC off so they will work in non compliant systems Intel Apple Apple discussions SeriTek controller Hitachi hard disks Seagate Western Digital Hitachi Due to this problem users believe that SATA 3Gb s HDD s are not compatible with SATA 1 5Gb s controllers This is inaccurate
10. This is an alternate way to indicate which drive is master and which drive is slave instead of jumpering one drive as master and one drive as slave Cable Select jumpering requires a special IDE cable with wire 28 not connected to one of the drive connectors which would configure the drive attached to that connector as the slave drive In order to use Cable Select jumpering several conditions must be met Both drives channel must support CSEL both drives must be jumpered as CSEL a CSEL cable must be used and the host interface connector must support CSEL For the host interface to Support Cable Select wire 28 must be grounded Although the Cable Select specification may simplify things in the future there will probably be lots of confusion especially on legacy systems as this starts to be introduced One problem will be in selecting the correct cable Supposedly the cables used for Cable Select will be clearly marked with each connector labeled as Device 0 or Master or Device 1 or Slave If not clearly marked it may not be easy to identify a CSEL cable visually wire 28 can be checked for continuity A Cable Select cable can be constructed in various ways Pin 28 may be non connected to the connector at the end of the cable or to the connector in the middle of the cable Another design would have the host interface connector in the middle and the two drives would plug into each end of the cable with the connector at one of th

16. storage solutions that are required to pass FCC and other agency certifications Today some Serial ATA disk drives implement SSC some allow you to turn this feature on off and some do not implement SSC it is anticipated that all will implement this feature in the near future The technique of modulating the operating frequency of a circuit slightly to spread its radiated emissions over a range of frequencies rather than just one tone This reduction in the maximum emission for a given frequency helps meet FCC requirements Newer Serial ATA 3Gbps SATA interface disc drives may employ a standard technology called Spread Spectrum Clocking SSC which helps to reduce electronic emissions EMI in large multi drive systems Single drive environments do not need SSC to meet EMI requirements 3Gbps means doubled interface speeds which also means greater signal noise and electromagnetic emissions As the processor settings in many motherboards BIOSes Spread spectrum clocking can reduce emissions to meet regulations Page 49 In a single drive environment it s not necessary but when you ve got two or more drives and they re all running at 3Gbps that s when you ve got a lot of electrical noise going on and the spread spectrum feature is recommended This is more for safety than reducing data errors which most drives ECC code will correct automatically A small number of SATA host products do not support this SSC standard feature

34. e and cable select Page 47 A5 Two different protocols can be used for jumpering ATA devices including hard disk drives One is the master slave relationship With this protocol one device is jumpered as master and the other is jumpered as slave The second protocol is cable select With this protocol both devices are jumpered as cable select and their position on the cable dictates which is the master and which is the slave The end device is master while the device on the middle of the cable is slave You can use either of these protocols but you cannot mix them on the same data cable Computers that use cable select determine the master and slave drives by selecting or deselecting pin 28 CSEL on the interface bus Master and slave drives are determined by their physical position on the cable Configuration Using Cable Select Cable Select is defined in the ATA 2 and ATA 3 specifications and is part of the ATA PnP standard and Microsoft s PC97 standard The standard 40 wire ATA ribbon cable and the 80 wire cable give different drive behavior when using Cable Select If using the standard 40 wire cable the Master goes in the middle connector and the Slave goes in the end connector If using the 80 wire cable attach the blue end connector to the system board or host controller the gray middle connector to the Slave and the black end connector to the Master All newer ATA hard drives can be jumpered as Cable Select CS or CSEL
