00 Page Code Set to 31h.

01 Reserved Set to 00h

02-03 Additional Page Length Set to 1Eh.

04-05 Parameter Code Set to 00 00h, indicating the first parameter follows.

06 DU The Disable Update bit is always set to 1.

DS The Disable Save bit is always set to 1, indicating the drive

does not save parameter values.

TSD The Target Save Disable bit is always set to 1, indicating the

drive does not provide a target defined method for saving log

parameters.

ETC The Enable Threshold Comparison bit is always set to 0,

indicating comparison to the threshold value is not performed

whenever the cumulative value is updated.

TMC The Threshold Met Criteria bits are used with the ETC bit and

are always set to 0.

LP The List Parameters bit is always set to 1, indicating the

parameter is a list parameter.

07 Parameter Length Set to 0Ch, indicating 12 bytes in the counter.

08-13 Unit Serial Number Set to the ASCII value of the drives ten-digit serial number.
