General Information
Introduction
This service manual provides detailed information for servicing the 9130K disc drive.
Service Philosophy
The 9130K Flexible Disc Drive is comprised of three serviceable areas: the mechanical drive
assembly,
the drive electronics assembly and the servo electronics assembly. All assemblies
are serviced on the exchange program with the exception of some parts on the mechanical
assembly.
The field replaceable parts are outlined in the maintenance and assembly access
sections.
General Description
The HP 9130K rnini double sided flexible disc drive is a semi-random access mass storage
system employing a flexible magnetic medium. It consists of a mini disc drive, a servo
electronics circuit board and a drive electronics circuit board.
Each drive
module contains all the mechanical parts necessary for physically handling the
disc. These include the drive spindle and motor, 2 heads each having read/write and erase
capability, write protect sensor, track 0 sensor, index sensor, and activity LED on the front
panel. Each drive
module also contains a servo control board which controls the DC drive
motor speed and a drive electronics board which interprets and generate control signals,
controls
movement of the read/write head to the correct position, and also reads and writes
data.
The flexible magnetic medium used in the 9130K is called a flexible disc. The flexible disc
measures 133.4 mm (5.25 inches) on a side and has a 3.8 cm (1.5 inch) hole for alignment
on the disc drive spindle. The disc is enclosed in a protective polyvinylchloride (PVC) jacket
with a slot for access to
the recording surface. Both sides of the flexible disc are used for data
storage.
The recording head in the drive module is positioned by a mechanism driven by a stepper
motor and taut metal band. The head positioning mechanism operates in an open loop
configuration, that is, there is no feedback to the drive electronics board to determine the
actual position of the head.
The heads are mechanically coupled to the door mechanism so that closing of the door
causes the heads to make contact with the media.

Flexible Disc Media Use
Introduction
The storage medium used in the HP 9130K disc drive, is a flexible disc commonly called a
floppy. The flexible disc
measures 133.4 mm (5.25 inches) in diameter and has a 27.5 mm
(1.125 inch) hole for alignment
on the disc drive spindle. The disc is enclosed in a protective
plastic jacket with a slot for
head access to the recording surface. Both sides of the flexible
disc
are used for data storage.
By using flexible discs indentified as "double-sided", up to .25 megabytes of data can be
stored on each disc. Since some of the storage is used in subsystem overhead, the exact
amount available for user storage depends upon the controller subsystem. Refer to the
appropriate mainframe programming or reference manual for details. Double-sided flexible
discs (HP
part number 92190A, package of ten) are available from HP's computer supplies
catalog, by calling
the toll free order number 800-538-8787.
Each flexible disc must be initialized before it can be used for data storage. The initialization
procedure marks each disc track, checks for defective tracks, and may establish file director-
ies. Refer to
the mainframe programming or reference manual for correct procedures.

General Information 1-5
CAUTION
ONLY HP MEDIA IS APPROVED FOR USE IN THE 9130K
FLEXIBLE DISC
DRIVE. USE OF OTHER MEDIA MAY RESULT
IN PREMATURE DISC FAILURE OR DAMAGE TO THE DRIVE.
HP MEDIA WILL ALWAYS HAVE AN/HP LABEL ON IT.
HP RIGOROUSLY TESTS EACH BATCH OF MEDIA FOR
ERROR
RATE AND WEAR PERFORMANCE IN ADDITION TO
INITIAL VENDOR QUALIFICATION. ONLY IN THIS WAY CAN
HP ASSURE RELIABLE MEDIA PERFORMANCE.
THE USE OF NON-HP MEDIA FOR SINGLE USE APPLICA-
TlONS SUCH AS DATA INTERCHANGE WILL PROBABLY
NOT
DAMAGE THE DRIVE OR MEDIA BUT, IF EXTENDED
USE
IS ANTICIPATED, THE DATA MUST BE TRANSFERRED
TO HP MEDIA.
EXTENDED USE OF NON-HP APPROVED MEDIA WILL VOID
WARRANTY AND SERVICE CONTRACTS ON THE INSTRU-
MENTS.
Operating Cleanliness
To prevent potential damage or data loss, it is extremely important to maintain the cleanli-
ness of the disc and air within the disc drive. The disc drive should not be operated in an
environment in which dust, smoke, moisture, oil or chemical vapor or other foreign matter
are present. Also, be sure to strictly follow the disc handling gUidelines.
The critical elements involved in the read/write process are shown in Figure 1-2. The
read/write heads must maintain contact with the media during the read and write opera-
tions. Also shown are various types of contaminants and their size relationships. A contami-
nant particle. hard enough and of the right size may scratch either the oxide coating of the
disc or the head surface. Even if the particle is not hard enough to scratch, it may be hard
enough to lift the head from the disc surface and cause data errors.
Handling Discs
The flexible disc is basically maintenance free, but it is delicate and MUST BE HANDLED
CAREFULLY. Remember, the disc contains your valuable data and programs and should
be treated accordingly. A good rule of thumb is to treat the disc as you would a valuable
record album. Here are some specific DO's and DON'Ts to avoid loss of data or damage to
the discs.
EVEN A LITTLE
CARELESSNESS IN DISC HANDLING CAN DRAMATICALLY REDUCE
THE LIFE OF THE DISC.

DO
Backup Disc Frequently
There is always a chance'of losing data when mass storage devices are accessed. There are
many causes in any computer system-a programming bug, operator error, power failure,
or hardware failure. In the case of flexible discs, another mode is possible-media failure
from
contamination or wearout. YOUR ONLY PROTECTION AGAINST DATA LOSS IS
FREQUENT BACKUP OF DATA FILES.
Return Disc to Storage Envelope when Not in Use
This is the single most important thing to remember about handling a disc
because it prolongs disc life by protecting it from dust and scratches. Be-
tween uses discs should be stored upright in a dust free container. The box
that the discs are shipped in, or a similar container, is a good choice.
Operate in a Clean Environment
Airborne contaminants and particles accidentally dropped onto the disc
will cause the disc to wear out prematurely and may cause unreliable data
storage and retrieval operations. Some of the most common contaminants
are DUST, SMOKE, ASHES and ERASER PARTICLES. Chemical vapors
may also cause premature wearout.
