SAS Interface

multiple bit errors that may occur during transmission and reception of information. In addition, some of the control characters of the transmission code contain a distinct and easily recognizable bit pattern called a comma pattern which assists a receiver in achieving character and dword alignment on the incoming bit stream.

1.3.2 Link reset sequence

The link reset sequence consists of the phy reset sequence and the identification sequence. The phy reset sequence consists of the out of band (OOB) sequence and speed negotiation sequence. The hard reset sequence is performed only when the HARD_RESET primitive is detected after the completion of the speed negotiation. The HARD_RESET primitive detected at any time later than the identification sequence is invalid. The hard reset sequence corresponds to the reset condition of pSCSI.
