Categories Of Changeable - Maxtor ATLAS 10K III Product Manual

SCSI Description
The drive's changeable pages are described on the following pages. The data fields for
each of these pages fall into one of the categories described in Table 5-61.
A field in this category can be modified by the MODE SELECT command, can be
saved and can affect the drives processing. The drive uses the value in the field and,
if the SP bit is set, preserves the new value of the field in non-volatile memory on
Fully Supported
the drive. (The PS bit must have been set when the mode page was returned with a
MODE SENSE command.)
A field in this category is fully supported, with one exception; the drive does not save
the field contents. The drive does not give an error indication if an attempt is made
to save a temporary field.
Temporary
Temporary fields are also underlined in the Mode Parameter Page illustrations but the
PS bit is not.
A value in this field is never used or validated; it is never looked at by the drive. Ig-
Ignored nored fields are not underlined in the Mode Parameter Pages' figures or tables and
are not described in the Field Description tables.
