SCSI MESSAGES M2488 PRODUCT GUIDE
3-2 CG00000-011503 REV. A April 1997
3-2.1 ABORT code 06h
This message is sent from the initiator to the target to clear the present operation.
If a logical unit has been identified, all pending data and status for the issuing initiator from the
affected logical unit are cleared, and the target goes to the BUS FREE phase. Pending data and status
for other initiators are not cleared. If a logical unit is not identified, the target goes to the BUS FREE
phase. No status or ending message is sent for the operation. It is not an error to issue this message to
a logical unit that is not currently performing an operation for the initiator.
3-2.2 BUS DEVICE RESET code 0Ch
This message is sent from an initiator to direct a target to clear all current commands on that SCSI
device.
This message forces the SCSI device to an initial state with no operations pending for any initiator.
Upon recognizing this message, the target goes to the BUS FREE phase.
3-2.3 COMMAND COMPLETE code 00h
This message is sent from a target to an initiator to indicate the execution of a command or a series of
linked commands has terminated and valid status was sent to the initiator.
After successfully sending this message, the target goes to the BUS FREE phase by releasing BSY.
The target considers the message transmission to be successful when it detects the negation of ACK
for the COMMAND COMPL ETE message with the AT N signal fal se.
** NOTE **
The command may have been executed succes sfully or unsuccess-
fully as indicated in t he status.
3-2.4 DISCONNECT code 04h
This message is sent from a target to inform the initiator that the present physical path is going to be
broken (the target plans to disconnect by releasing BSY), but a later reconnect is required in order to
complete the current operation.
This message does not cause the initiator to save the data pointer. After successfully sending this
message, the target goes to the BUS FREE phase by releasing BSY. The target considers the message
transmission to be successful when it detects the negation of ACK for the DISCONNECT message
with the A TN sign al false.
0Ch BUS DEVICE RESET Directs the target to clear all current commands
on that SCSI device. 3-2.2 on page 3-2
23h IGNORE WIDE RESIDUE
Sent to an initiator to indicate the number of
valid bytes sent during the last REQ/ACK hand-
shake and REQB/ACKB handshake of a DATA
IN phase is less than the negotiated transfer
width.

80h-
FFh IDENTIFY Sent to establish the physical path connection
between an initiator and target for a particular
logical unit. 3-2.6 on page 3-7
