8.3Alternate error detection for the asynchronous information phases (AIP)— Command, Message, and Status

8.3.1Error detection for asynchronous information phases

This section describes an enhanced error detection method for the Command, Message, and Status asynchro- nous information transfer phases. In systems not implementing this scheme, these phases only transfer infor- mation on the lower eight data bits of a SCSI bus with only normal parity protection on those transfers. Therefore, additional check information can be transferred on the upper eight data bits in order to improve error detection capabilities. Since the upper eight data bits of the bus are used for this scheme, this error detection method is only available on wide SCSI devices that are on wide SCSI busses.

8.3.2Protection code

The following are the covered signals to be encoded and details of the protection code to be used on the asyn- chronous information phases.
