XYRATEX TALOS and ZADIAN TEST SYSTEMS 
 
XYRATEX SYSTEM 640 MULTI-PORT TEST SYSTEMS 
 
 
 Xyratex System 640

 

This Xyratex System 640 is a 6 port/ 6 drive test system that is self-contained, with suitable cooling, occupying a small footprint, controlled by a suitable PC able to test, tape, hard drives, CD / DVD's and optical drive via IDE / ATAPI and SCSI interfaces. Note: Up to 15 drives may be connected at any one time to each SCSI port. The system is supplied with all necessary software for the above actions, and the interface with the controlling computer can be either Ethernet or via the Com port. 
 
Programmable Voltage Margining 
Complex electronics of a disk drive can be sensitive to variations in supply voltage levels. It is important in testing that both a consistent and accurate voltage is used. The Xyratex Voltage Margining card within the test equipment provides an accurate, repeatable, and noise free supply during test. In addition both the 12V and 5V voltages can be modified independently to +-10% of their nominal values, in 1% steps. These features are all programmable from the Talos test software, thus giving the test programmer the ability to define tests to find voltage sensitive drives, and help debug integration issues. 
System Specifications 
Drive Capacity: Six slots 3.5” by 1.6”or 1” with max wattage 30 W per drive 
Fixture Type: High rigidity clamping fixtures 
Drive Interface type: ATA/100, ATAPI, SCSI, Fiber Channel 
Drive Power: +5V and 12V switched 
Drive Power Margins: +5V and +12V variable +/- 10% in 1% steps. Software programmable 
Dimensions: Height: 18.25” (46.35 cm), Width: 21.5” (54.60 cm), Depth: 18.5” (47.0 cm) 
Weight: 114 lb. (51.7 kg) 
Drive Connection: Hand plugged signal and power cable at front of unit 
Drive Cooling: Fan assisted airflow from front to rear using ambient air to keep drive within operating band. Drive cooling is independent of electronics cooling 
Drive Electronics: One Talos Controller and personality board per drive slots 
Electronics cooling: Fan assisted filtered airflow from front passing laterally across cards to exhaust at the rear using ambient air to keep electronics within operating band (margin cards and TALOS to 40ºC). Electronics cooling is independent of drive cooling 
Host: External thin Ethernet using BNC 
Communications: Internal 10-base-T Ethernet to each Talos controller via Ethernet hub 
AC Supply: 110/240V AC 50/60 Hz 1 Ph. 750 W max continuous power 
 
As each Xyratex System 640 is configured to the clients needs with suitable numbers of IDE/UDMA or SCSI ports the prices vary, please contact us for more information and pricing. 
 
INDIVIDUAL XYRATEX TALOS AND ZADIAN PORT TEST SYSTEMS 
 
 
 
  SCSI TEST EQUIPMENT 
 
The Xyratex Talos and Zadian SCSI Test Systems units comes in a standalone desktop format, and up to 250 units can be connected per system (controlled by a PC) using the RS-232 port,. with an optional separate power charger for the test unit power source. * (Separate power feed is needed for the drives being tested, this power is only supplied with the margining power supply which supplies power for one drive only) 
 
There are several types of SCSI systems available, the Zadian Pod which can be SCSI Std and SCSI-Wide, and Xyratex Talos Pod which is available in Fast 20, Ultra 2, and now Ultra 160 SCSI types. 
Maximum quantity of drives that can be tested at any one time -  SCSI Std unit -  7,  SCSI Wide unit - 15,  Ultra SCSI unit - 15 
By using different converters, all pin configuration SCSI drives can be tested, including 2.5” drives, differential, SCA etc. 
Power failure recovery is covered using battery backup in the unit, if required.
