If the function code is 0001h, setting bit 0 to one causes the

 

 

 

requested feature state change to be preserved across

 

 

 

power cycles.

 

 

 

If the function code is 0001h, setting bit 0 to zero causes the

 

 

 

requested feature state change to be volatile. A hard reset

 

 

 

causes the drive to revert to default, or last non-volatile

 

 

 

setting.
