Buffer Full Ratio, Buffer Empty Ratio, Bus Inactivity Limit and Connect Time Limit fields are not supported by the
drive if set to non-ZERO values a CHECK CONDITION status is returned with ILLEGAL REQUEST sense key set.
Disconnect Time Limit: This field indicates the minimum time in 100 microsecond increments that the drive shall
wait after releasing the SCSI bus before attempting re-selection. This should be 0 and this is non-changeable field.
Maximum Burst Size: This field defines the maximum amount of data that the drive shall transfer during a data
phase before disconnecting. This value is expressed in increments of 512 bytes. This is non-changeable field and
should be 4000h.
Note: 512 (200h) × 16384 (4000h) = 8388608(8 Mbytes) which means that the Maximum Burst Size is
approximately equal to SDX-800V Buffer size for SCSI side.
FAIR ARBITRATION: This field indicates whether the drive shall use fair or unfair arbitration when requesting an
interconnect tenancy. Setting this field to 1 will enable the SCSI Bus Fairness protocol. Setting this field to zero will
disable it. The drive determines fairness by monitoring prior arbitration attempts by other SCSI devices. It shall
postpone arbitration for itself until all lower priority SCSI devices that previously lost arbitration either win a
subsequent arbitration or discontinue their arbitration attempts. It shall monitor the arbitration attempts of the other
SCSI devices and refresh the fairness register with the SCSI ID's of any lower priority SCSI devices that lost
arbitration. This field is not support.
DTDC: This field defines further restrictions on when a disconnect is permitted.

Data transfer disconnect control is not used. Disconnect is controlled by the other field in this
page.
01b
A target shall not attempt to disconnect once the data transfer of a command has started until all
data the command is to transfer has been transferred. The connect time limit and bus inactivity
limit are ignored during the data transfer.

A target shall not attempt to disconnect once the data transfer of a command has started until the
command is complete. The connect time limit and bus inactivity limit are ignored once data
transfer has started.
