3.11.5Phase sequences for physical selection using attention condition with information unit transfers enabled

The sequences for a selection with attention condition while an information unit transfer agreement is in effect shall be as shown in Figure 14.

The normal progression for selection using attention condition (see Section 3.2.1.1.3) if QAS is disabled is:

1.from the BUS FREE phase to ARBITRATION;

2.from ARBITRATION to SELECTION;

3.from SELECTION to MESSAGE OUT;

4.from MESSAGE OUT to MESSAGE IN; and

5.from MESSAGE IN to BUS FREE.

Hard reset or protocol error

3.12Data bus protection

3.12.1Data bus protection overview

The data bus DB(P_CRCA) signal and the DB(P1) signals are used to generate parity or control the transfer of pCRC information on the Data Bus.

3.12.2ST data bus protection using parity

For ARBITRATION phase the DB(P_CRCA) and DB(P1) signals shall not be checked for parity errors. For SELECTION and RESELECTION phases, valid parity is determined by the rules in Table 23.

Table 23: Parity checking rules for SELECTION and RESELECTION phases

Action

Condition

 

 

 

 

Check for odd parity on:

If at least one bit is active on:

DB(7-0,P_CRCA)

DB(15-0,P_CRCA,P1)

DB(15-8,P1)

DB(15-8,P1)

Note. These rules are necessary to permit interoperation of SCSI devices with different Data Bus widths. For example, if an 8-bit SCSI device selects a 16-bit SCSI device, the 16-bit SCSI device observes invalid parity on the upper 8 bits of the Data Bus.
