Format Parameters page (03h)
The Format Parameters page implementation is defined in Table 148. This table summarizes the function and
defines the default or changeability status for each bit. The actual implementation of reserving spare areas for
defect management takes place during the FORMAT UNIT command.
Note.
In Table 148, zone refers to defect management zone (one or more tracks), not a ZBR (variable track
capacity recording) zone. ZBR zones are referred to as notches (page 0Ch is the Notch page).
