Change Definition

2.3Change Definition (40h)

When executed, the CHANGE DEFINITION command modifies the operating definition of the drive regardless of the specified logical unit number.

A SCSI reset or BUS DEVICE RESET will not affect the definition changed by the CHANGE DEFINITION command.

Cycling the power to the drive OFF and ON will cause the operating definition to revert to the default setting.

If the CHANGE DEFINITION command did not execute successfully, the operating definition will remain in the same status it was prior to the attempted execution of the CHANGE DEFINITION command.

Operation Code is (40h).

Save Control Bit (SCB)

Must be set to “0” (FALSE).

The drive will not save the operating definition. A power reset will set the drive to its initial operating definition.

Definition Parameter specifies the operating definition. The Definition Parameter field supports the following field values:

00h : Use current operating definition

01h : SCSI-1 operating definition

02h : SCSI-1 operating definition

03h : SCSI-2 operating definition

04h~7Fh : Reserved
