as the operation is initiated. The Target will respond to all commands received prior to the
completion of the spin-up sequence with a status of CHECK CONDITION. The response to a
Request Sense command will be a Sense Key of NOT READY. If IMMED is set to zero (0),
status will be returned after the operation is completed.

motor until the next START UNIT command is sent. .
