X’D0’

SMART Read Attribute Values:

 

 

A device that received this subcommand asserts the BSY bit and saves all the

 

updated attribute values. The device then clears the BSY bit and transfers 512-byte

 

attribute value information to the host.

 

 

* For information about the format of the attribute value information, see Table 5.9.

X’D1’

SMART Read Attribute Thresholds:

 

 

This subcommand is used to transfer 512-byte insurance failure threshold value data

 

to the host.

 

 

* For information about the format of the insurance failure threshold value data, see

 

Table 5.10.

 

X’D2’

SMART Enable-Disable Attribute AutoSave:

 

 

This subcommand is used to enable (SC register 00h) or disable (SC register =

 

00h) the setting of the automatic saving feature for the device attribute data. The

 

setting is maintained every time the device is turned off and then on. When the

 

automatic saving feature is enabled, the attribute values are saved after 15 minutes

 

passed since the previous saving of the attribute values. However, if the failure

 

prediction feature is disabled, the attribute values are not automatically saved.

 

When the device receives this subcommand, it asserts the BSY bit, enables or

 

disables the automatic saving feature, then clears the BSY bit.

 

X’D3’

SMART Save Attribute Values:

 

 

When the device receives this subcommand, it asserts the BSY bit, saves device

 

attribute value data, then clears the BSY bit.

 

X’D4’

SMART Execute off-line Immediate/Execute Self Test:

 

 

The device that received these subcommands shall execute off-line data collection or

 

Self Test, or device shall abort current Self Test.

 

 

The setting of SN register is described as following.

 

 

Off-line data collection:

(SN register = 00h)

 

Self Test functions:

 

 

- Quick Test – Off-line Mode

(SN register = 01h)

 

- Quick Test – Captive Mode

(SN register = 81h)

 

- Comprehensive Test – Off-line Mode

(SN register = 02h)

 

- Comprehensive Test – Captive Mode

(SN register = 82h)

 

- Self Test Stop

(SN register = 7Fh)

 

The device that received subcommand (SN register is described 00h, 01h or 02h)

 

shall execute Off-line data collection or Self Test after asserts the BSY bit and clears

 

it.

 

 

The device that received subcommand (SN register is described 81h or 82h) shall

 

execute Self Test after assert the BSY bit, then clears the BSY bit after completes

 

these command process.

 

 

The device that received subcommand (SN register is described 7Fh) shall assert the

 

BSY bit. When the device is in process of performing Self Test or off-line data

 

collection, it should abort the current Self Test or off-line data collection, then clears

 

the BSY bit.
