1.4 Link layer

4)When, in contradiction to the fact that the physical link rate is 1.5 Gbps, the CONNECTION RATE field in a received OPEN frame is 3.0G, the drive sends the OPEN_REJECT (CONNECTION RATE NOT SUPPORTED) primitive.

5)A dual port drive may process requests from up to four INITs at a time for each port. When a dual port drive holds commands from four INITs for one of its ports, and if it receives a connection request from a fifth INIT through the same port, the drive sends the OPEN_REJECT (RETRY) primitive.

6)When the drive cannot receive an SSP frame temporarily due to the recovery processing of an internal drive error, the drive sends the OPEN_REJECT (RETRY) primitive.

7)When the SAS address of a drive does not match the DESTINATION SAS ADDRESS field in a received OPEN frame, the drive sends the OPEN_REJECT (WRONG DESTINATION) primitive.
