| The file internally uses 22 bytes of ECC on all data read or writes. The 4 byte mode of operation is pro-
vided via an emulation technique. As a consequence of this emulation it is recommended that 22 byte ECC
mode is used for all tests to confirm the operation of the files ECC hardware. Unexpected results may occur
if such testing is performed using 4 byte mode.
