Table 23. Interface connector pins and I/O signals
Note 1;
Pin P11 is used by the drive to provide the host with an activity indication and by the host to
indicate whether staggered spin up should be used.
The signal the drive provides for activity indication is a low-voltage low-current driver.
If pin P11 is asserted low the drive shall disable staggered spin-up and immediately initiate spin up.
If pin P11 is not connected in the host (floating), the drive shall enable staggered spin up.
