If the SCSI target port determines that a pad field is not required, has completed the data field transfer of the current data group, the I/O signal is true (i.e., transfer to the SCSI initiator port), and the REQ signal is negated, the SCSI target port shall:
1.wait at least one pCRC transmit hold time since the last REQ negation to assert P_CRCA;
2.wait at least one transmit hold time since the last REQ negation to assert the
3.wait at least the longer of one pCRC transmit setup time from the assertion of P_CRCA or a transmit setup time from
4.wait until the initiator has responded with all ACK transitions for the previous data group;
5.wait at least one transmit REQ negation period with P_CRCA transitioning since the last REQ nega- tion;

After either of the above sequences is complete, the target has ended a data group transfer.
The initiator shall read the value on the
The initiator shall continue to use the pad bytes, if any, for checking against the computed pCRC for the current data group. Upon receipt of the last byte of the pCRC field, the received pCRC and computed pCRC shall be compared. If they do match (i.e., no pCRC error), then the initiator shall negate the ACK signal.
If received pCRC and computed pCRC do not match (i.e., a pCRC error is detected) or if an improperly format- ted data group is transferred, then the initiator shall create an attention condition on or before the last transfer of the data group. When the target switches to a MESSAGE OUT phase, the initiator should send a SCSI initi- ator port Detected Error message (see Section 4.3.5) to the target. This message notifies the target that data contained within the data group was invalid.
If the target does not retry transferring the information transfer or it exhausts its retry limit, the target shall go into a STATUS phase and send a CHECK CONDITION status with a sense key set to Aborted Command and an additional sense code set to Initiator Detected Error Message Received for the task associated with the received INITIATOR DETECTED ERROR message.
3.5.2.2.2.2Data group pad field and pCRC field transfer to SCSI target port
If the I/O signal is false (i.e., transfer to the target), the initiator determines the data field. Transfer to the target is completed by detecting an assertion of the P_CRCA signal. If the REQ signal is asserted (i.e., pad field required), the initiator shall first transfer the two pad bytes, then the four pCRC bytes. If the REQ signal is negated (i.e., no pad field required), the initiator shall transfer the four pCRC bytes.
