SCSI Commands
1. CDB
Command from the initiator to the drives in this series is performed by a CDB (Command Descriptor Block).
CDBs are classified into 3 sizes: 6, 10, and 12-byte length. Their basic formats will be shown below.

Reserved, Link, Flag, RelAdr, and LUN used in common by each CDB will be described below.
(1) Reserved
This field must be set to 0. The CHECK CONDITION status is returned otherwise.
(2) Link
Since the drive in this series does not support Link, this field must be set to 0. The CHECK CONDITION
status is returned otherwise.
(3) Flag
Since the drive in this series does not support Flag, this field must be set to 0. The CHECK CONDITION
status is returned otherwise.
(4) RelAdr
Since the drive in this series does not support RelAdr, this field must be set to 0.
(5) LUN (Logical Unit Number)
The drive in this series always sets this field to 0. If a value other than 0 is set, the drive accepts the
INQUIRY(12h) and REQUEST SENSE(03h) commands, and for other commands, it returns the CHECK
CONDITION status.
When receiving a command with an Identify message from the initiator, the drive in this series reefers to LUN
in the Identify message and ignores the LUN in the CDB.

3. Unit attention condition

Immediately after the power of the drive in this series is turned on or immediately after a reset according to the SCSI
RESET and BUS DEVICE RESET messages, 06-29-00 (POWER ON, RESET, OR BUS DEVICE RESET OCCURRED)
is retained as error information at each initiator until the retention is cancelled by a command from the initiator.
Response to commands in UNIT ATTENTION CONDITION and cancellation of the retention status are performed
according to the following conditions.
(1)
(2)
(3)
The INQUIRY (12h) command is executed normally. The retention of UNIT ATTENTION CONDITION is not
cancelled.
The REQUEST SENSE (03h) command is executed normally. As sense data transferred to the initiator,
sense data that has generated UNIT ATTENTION CONDITION is returned. The retention of UNIT
ATTENTION CONDITION is cancelled.
Commands other than those described above return the CHECK CONDITION status and cancel the
retention of UNIT ATTENTION CONDITION. At this time, since UNIT ATTENTION=06h is written in a sense
key in the sense data, the initiator can determine the cause of generation of UNIT ATTENTION CONDITION
from the sense data by issuing the REQUEST SENSE command.
4. Sense data
The drive in this series generates sense data in the following cases.
(1)
(2)
When the CHECK CONDITION status is returned during execution of the SCSI command.
When UNIT ATTENTION CONDITION is generated.
Generated sense data is retained for the initiator that has issued the SCSI command. The retention of the sense data is
cancelled in the following cases.
(1)
(2)
(3)
The retention of the sense data is cancelled when the initiator issues a new SCSI command. If the new
command is the REQUEST SENSE (03h), the sense data being retained is transferred.
A command from an initiator other than the one for which the sense data is retained is accepted normally.
If RESET CONDITION occurs on a SCSI bus, or if an arbitrary initiator issues the Bus Device Reset
message, UNIT ATTENTION CONDITION is generated, the sense data that has generated UNIT
ATTENTION CONDITION is retained, and the previously retained sense data is lost.

On occurrence of a parity error during transfer, this command retains 04-47-00(PARITY ERROR) as error information,
and reports the CHECK CONDITION status.
Initial Data Pattern designates the first byte in the DATA IN phase.
Pattern Control Byte defines data subsequent to Initial Data Pattern. It designates a data pattern in bits.
See 26. READ DELAY CHECK[E0] for more detail information about Pattern Control Byte.
Error codes for WRITE DELAY CHECK will be listed below.
