SCSI Description
5-12 Maxtor Atlas 10K III
The SCSI comman d descriptions that follow this page contain detailed informat ion
about the SCSI commands that are support ed by the drive. Each descript ion provides
a Data Format and Field Descriptions for the Command Descriptor Block for the
described command.
The commands are presented in alphabetic order, and each command starts on a n ew,
odd-numbered page.
Common Fields
Several fields that are common to m any commands are described here, rather than
being repeated throughout the descriptions. These fields include:
Reserved – Reserved bits, fie lds, bytes, and code values are set aside for futu re
standard ization and must be set to 0. If the drive receives a co mmand that contains
non-0 bits in a reserved field or a reserved code value, the command is terminated with
a CH ECK CO N D IT I ON s tat us and the sen se key set to ILLEG A L REQ UEST.
However, there are some fields that are not checked for compatibility with older SCSI
initiators.
Control – The Link Bit and Flag Bit are su p po rted.
