9.2 Alternate Status Register Table 60: Alternate Status Register DSC/ SERV This register contains the same information as the Status Register. The only difference between this register and the Status Register is that reading the Alternate Status Register does not imply an interrupt acknowledge or a clear of a pending interrupt.
9.6 Data Register This register is used to transfer data blocks between the device data buffer and the host. It is also the register through which sector information is transferred on a Format Track command and the configuration information is transferred on an Identify Device command.

9.10 Error Register Table 64: Error Register IDNF ABRT TK0NF AMNF This register contains the status from the last command executed by the device or a diagnostic code. At the comple- tion of any command, except Execute Device Diagnostic, the contents of this register are always valid even if ERR = 0 is in the Status Register.
9.13 Sector Number Register This register contains the starting sector number for any disk data access for the subsequent command. The sector number is from one to the maximum number of sectors per track. In LBA mode, this register contains Bits 0–7. At the end of the command this register is updated to reflect the cur- rent LBA Bits 0–7.

10.0 General operation 10.1 Reset response ATA has the following three types of resets: The device executes a series of electrical circuitry diagnostics, spins up the Power On Reset (POR) head disk assembly, tests speed and other mechanical parametric, and sets default values.
10.2 Register initialization After a power on, a hard reset, or a software reset, the register values are initialized as shown in the table below. Table 67: Default Register Values Register Default Value Error Diagnostic Code Sector Count Sector Number Cylinder Low Cylinder High Device/Head...
10.3 Diagnostic and Reset considerations For each Reset and Execute Device Diagnostic, the diagnostic is done as follows: Power On Reset DASP– is read by Device 0 to determine if Device 1 is present. If Device 1 is present, Device 0 shall read PDIAG– to determine when it is valid to clear the BSY bit and whether Device 1 has powered on or reset without error, otherwise Device 0 clears the BSY bit whenever it is ready to accept commands.
10.4 Sector Addressing Mode All addressing of data sectors recorded on the device's media is done by a logical sector address. The logical CHS address for HDS7240xxKLATx0 is different from the actual physical CHS location of the data sector on the disk media.
Page 93
The only commands that may be overlapped are NOP (with 01h subcommand code) (’00’h) Read DMA Queued (’C7’h) Service (’A2’h) Write DMA Queued (’CC’h) For the READ DMA QUEUED and WRITE DMA QUEUED commands, the device may or may not perform a bus release.
10.6 Power management features The power management feature set permits a host to modify the behavior in a manner which reduces the power required to operate. The power management feature set provides a set of commands and a timer that enables a device to implement low power consumption modes.
10.6.4 Interface capability for power modes Each power mode affects the physical interface as defined in the following table: Table 70: Power conditions Mode Interface active Media Active Active Idle Active Standby Inactive Sleep Inactive Ready (RDY) is not a power condition. A device may post ready at the interface even though the media may not be accessible.
10.7 S.M.A.R.T. Function The intent of Self-monitoring, analysis, and reporting technology (S.M.A.R.T.) is to protect user data and prevent unscheduled system downtime that may be caused by predictable degradation and/or fault of the device. By monitoring and storing critical performance and calibration parameters, S.M.A.R.T. devices employ sophisticated data analysis algorithms to predict the likelihood of near-term degradation or fault condition.
10.7.7 Error log Logging of reported errors is supported. The device provides information on the last five errors that the device reported as described in the SMART error log sector. The device may also provide additional vendor specific information on these reported errors. The error log is not disabled when SMART is disabled. Disabling SMART disables the delivering of error log information via the SMART READ LOG SECTOR command.
10.8 Security Mode Feature Set Security Mode Feature Set is a powerful security feature. With a device lock password, a user can prevent unauthorized access to a device even if it is removed from the computer. New commands are supported for this feature as listed below: Security Set Password ('F1'h) Security Unlock...
10.8.3 Passwords This function can have two types of passwords as described below. Master Password When the Master Password is set, the device does NOT enable the Device Lock Function, and the device CANNOT be locked with the Master Password, but the Master Password can be used for unlocking the locked device.
Page 100
10.8.4.3 Operation from POR after user password is set When Device Lock Function is enabled, the device rejects media access command until a Security Unlock command is successfully completed. Device Locked mode Unlock CMD Erase Prepare Media Access Non-media Access Command (*1) Command (*1) Erase Unit...
10.8.4.4 User Password lost If the User Password is forgotten and High level security is set, the system user cannot access any data. However the device can be unlocked using the Master Password. If a system user forgets the User Password and Maximum security level is set, data access is impossible. However the device can be unlocked using the Security Erase Unit command to unlock the device and erase all user data with the Master Password.
10.8.5 Command table This table shows the device's response to commands when the Security Mode Feature Set (Device lock function) is enabled. Table 71: Command table for device lock operation Device Mode Device Mode Command Command Locked Unlocked Frozen Locked Unlocked Frozen Check Power Mode...
10.9 Host Protected Area Feature Host Protected Area Feature provides a protected area which cannot be accessed via conventional methods. This protected area is used to contain critical system data such as BIOS or system management information. The contents of the main memory of the entire system may also be dumped into the protected area to resume after a system power off.
3. Conventional usage without system software support Since the drive works as a 6.2 GB device, there is no special care required for normal use of this device. 4. Advanced usage using protected area The data in the protected area is accessed by the following steps. i.
10.10 Seek overlap HDS7240xxKLATx0 provides an accurate method for measuring seek time. The seek command is usually used to measure the device seek time by accumulating the execution time for a number of seek commands. With typical implementation of seek command this measurement must include the device and host command overhead. To eliminate this overhead the drive overlaps the seek command as described below.
10.11 Write cache function Write cache is a performance enhancement whereby the device reports the completion of the write command (Write Sectors, Write Multiple, and Write DMA) to the host as soon as the device has received all of the data into its buffer. The device assumes the responsibility for subsequently writing the data onto the disk.
10.12 Reassign function The Reassign function is used with read commands and write commands. The sectors of data for reassignment are prepared as the spare data sector. This reassignment information is registered internally and the information is available right after completing the Reassign function.
10.13 Power-Up in Standby feature set The Power-Up In Standby feature set allows devices to be powered-up into the Standby power management state to minimize inrush current at power-up and to allow the host to sequence the spin-up of devices. This feature set will be enabled and disabled via the SET FEATURES command or the use of a jumper.
10.14 Advanced Power Management feature set (APM) This feature allows the host to select an advanced power management level. The advanced power management level is a scale from the lowest power consumption setting of 01h to the maximum performance level of FEh. Device performance may increase with increasing advanced power management levels.
10.15 Automatic Acoustic Management feature set (AAM) This feature set allows the host to select an acoustic management level. The acoustic management level ranges the setting of 80h to FEh. Device performance and acoustic emanation may increase with increasing acoustic management levels.
10.16 Address Offset Feature Computer systems perform initial code loading (booting) by reading from a predefined address on a disk drive. To allow an alternate bootable operating system to exist in a system reserved area on a disk drive this feature provides a Set Features function to temporarily offset the drive address space.
10.16.1 Enable/Disable Address Offset Mode Set Features subcommand code 09h Enable Address Offset Mode offsets address Cylinder 0, Head 0, Sector 1, LBA 0, to the start of the non-volatile protected area established using the Set Max Address command. The offset condition is cleared by Subcommand 89h Disable Address Offset Mode, Hardware reset or Power on Reset.
10.17 48-bit Address Feature Set The 48-bit Address feature set allows devices with capacities up to 281,474,976,710,655 sectors. This allows device capacity up to 144,115,188,075,855,360 bytes. In addition, the number of sectors that may be transferred by a single command are increased by increasing the allowable sector count to 16 bits. Commands unique to the 48-bit Address feature set are •...
• Write Stream PIO • Read Stream DMA • Write Stream DMA • Read Log Ext Support of the Streaming feature set is indicated in Identify Device word 84 bit 4. Note that PIO versions of these commands limit the transfer rate (16.6 MB/s), provide no CRC protection, and limit status reporting as compared to a DMA implementation.
10.18.5 Read Continuous bit If the Read Continuous bit is set to one for the command, the device shall transfer the requested amount of data to the host within the Command Completion Time Limit even if an error occurs. The data sent to the host by the device in an error condition is vendor specific.

If the device receives a Security Erase Unit command without a prior Security Erase Prepare command the device aborts the security erase unit command. This command disables the security mode feature (device lock function), however, the master password is still stored internally within the device and may be reactivated later when a new user password is set.
Page 203
Security Level Zero indicates High level. One indicates Maximum level. If the host sets High level and the password is forgotten, the Master Password can be used to unlock the device. If the host sets Maximum level and the user password is for- gotten, only a Security Erase Prepare/Security Unit command can unlock the device and all data will be lost.
