Intel 6 SERIES CHIPSET - DATASHEET 01-2011 Datasheet page 586

Bit
Device Detection Initialization (DET) — R/W. Controls the PCH's device detection
and interface initialization.
3:0
All other values reserved.
When this field is written to a 1h, the PCH initiates COMRESET and starts the
initialization process. When the initialization is complete, this field shall remain 1h until
set to another value by software.
This field may only be changed to 1h or 4h when PxCMD.ST is 0. Changing this field
while the PCH is running results in undefined behavior.
14.3.2.3 PxSERR—Serial ATA Error Register (D31:F2)
Address Offset:
Default Value:
SDATA when SINDx.RIDX is 02h.
Bits 26:16 of this register contains diagnostic error information for use by diagnostic
software in validating correct operation or isolating failure modes. Bits 11:0 contain
error information used by host software in determining the appropriate response to the
error condition. If one or more of bits 11:8 of this register are set, the controller will
stop the current transfer.
Bit
31:27 Reserved
Exchanged (X): When set to one, this bit indicates that a change in device presence
26 has been detected since the last time this bit was cleared. This bit shall always be set to
1 anytime a COMINIT signal is received. This bit is reflected in the P0IS.PCS bit.
Unrecognized FIS Type (F): Indicates that one or more FISs were received by the
25
Transport layer with good CRC, but had a type field that was not recognized.
Transport state transition error (T): Indicates that an error has occurred in the
24 transition from one state to another within the Transport layer since the last time this
bit was cleared.
Transport state transition error (T). Indicates that an error has occurred in the
23 transition from one state to another within the Transport layer since the last time this
bit was cleared.
Handshake (H). Indicates that one or more R_ERR handshake response was received
in response to frame transmission. Such errors may be the result of a CRC error
22
detected by the recipient, a disparity or 8b/10b decoding error, or other error condition
leading to a negative handshake on a transmitted frame.
21 CRC Error (C). Indicates that one or more CRC errors occurred with the Link Layer.
20 Disparity Error (D). This field is not used by AHCI.

Value Description
0h No device detection or initialization action requested
Perform interface communication initialization sequence to establish
communication. This is functionally equivalent to a hard reset and
1h
results in the interface being reset and communications re-
initialized
4h Disable the Serial ATA interface and put Phy in offline mode
