Maxtor 10K III manual Notch and Partition Page-Field Descriptions Page 0Ch

		SCSI Description
		Notch and Partition Page-Field Descriptions (Page 0Ch)
		Parameters Savable. This bit is only used with the MODE SENSE com-
&CVCPS￿(KGNF	&GHCWNV8CNWG0 ￿	mand. The returned value of&GUETKRVKQP0 indicates that the target is not capable
		of saving this page in a non-volatile vendor specific location This bit is
		reserved with the MODE SELECT command.
		Notched (banded) Drive. A value of 0 indicates that the drive is not
		notched and that all other parameters in this page are returned as 0.
ND	1	The default value of 1 indicates that the device is notched. For each
		supported active notch value, this page defines the starting and ending
		boundaries of the notch.
		Logical or Physical Notch. The default value of 0 indicates that the
		boundaries of the notch are based on the physical parameters of the
		logical unit. The cylinder is considered most significant and the head
LPN	0	least significant.
		A value of 1 indicates that the notch boundaries are based on logical
		blocks of the logical unit.
MaxNotch	24	This field indicates the maximum number of notches supported by the
		logical unit. The value cannot be changed.
	Table5-75	The Active Notch field indicates the notch referenced by this, and sub-
		sequent MODE SELECT and MODE SENSE commands. The value in
Active	0	this field can be changed by a later MODE SELECT command. The val-
Notch		ue of the active notch must be = 0 and = 24. An active notch of 0
		indicates that this and subsequent MODE SELECT and MODE SENSE
		commands refer to the parameters that apply across all notches.
		This field indicates the beginning of the active notch or, if the active
		notch is 0, the beginning boundary of the logical unit. If the ￿LPN value
Starting	000000h,00h	is 1, the starting boundary is a Logical Block Address.
Boundary		If the LPN value is 0, the three most significant bytes designate the
		starting cylinder number and the least significant byte is the starting
		head number. This field is unchangeable. When used with the MODE
		SELECT command, this field is ignored.
	18GB:	792DH = 31021 which refers to the ending cylinder, 01H is the end-
	792D01H	ing head number
Ending	36GB:	792DH = 31021 which refers to the ending cylinder, 03H is the end-
Boundary	792D03H	ing head number
	73GB:	792DH = 31021 which refers to the ending cylinder, 07H is the end-
	792D07H	ing head number
		This is a 64-bit bitmap that indicates which MODE command pages
		contain parameters that may be different for different notches. The
	00000000b,	most significant bit (MSB) corresponds to Page 3Fh (Vendor-Unique
		Caching Page), and the least significant bit (LSB) corresponds to Page
	00000000b,
		00h
	00000000b,
Pages	00000000b,	(Unit Attention Control Page).
	00000000b,
Notched
	00000000b,	If a bit is 1, the corresponding mode page contains parameters that
	00010000b,
		may be different for different notches.
	00001000b
		If a bit is 0, the corresponding mode page contains parameters that are
		constant for all notches.
		The value of 1 in bits 3 and 12 indicates that Page 03h and 0Ch contain
		different parameters for different notches.
