Shipping HDDs from HDD manufacturer

 

 

 

When the HDDs are shipped from HDD manufacturer, the device has been tested to have a capacity of 536MB,flagging the media defects not to be visible by system.

1.Preparing HDDs at system manufacturer

Special utility software is required to define the size of protected area and store the data into it.

The sequence is :

Issue Read Native Max Address command to get the real device max of LBA/CYL. Returned value shows that native device Max LBA is 0FFFFFh regardless to the current setting.

Make entire device be accessible including the protected area by setting device Max LBA as 0FFFFFh via Set Max Address command. The option could be either nonvolatile or volatile.

Test the sectors for protected area (LBA >= 0FC000h) if required.

Write information data such as BIOS code within the protected area.

Change maximum LBA using Set Max Address command to 0FBFFFh with nonvolatile option.

From this point, the protected area cannot be accessed until next Set Max Address command is issued. Any BIOSes, device drivers, or application software access the HDD as if that is the 528MB device because the device acts exactly same as real 528MB device does.

2.Conventional usage without system software support

Since the HDD works as 528MB device, there is no special care to use this device for normal use.

3.Advanced usage using protected area

The data in the protected area is accessed by following.

Issue Read Native Max Address command to get the real device max LBA/CYL. Returned value shows that native device Max LBA is 0FFFFFh regardless of the current setting.

Make entire device be accessible including the protected area by setting device Max LBA as 0FFFFFh via Set Max Address command with volatile option. By using this option, unexpected power removal or reset will not make the protected area remained accessible.

Read information data from protected area.

Issue POR to inhibit any access to the protected area.
