11.2.2 DEVICE CONFIGURATION FREEZE LOCK (subcommand C1h)
The DEVICE CONFIGURATION FREEZE LOCK command prevents accidental modification of the Device
Configuration Overlay settings. After successful execution of a DEVICE CONFIGURATION FREEZE
LOCK command, all DEVICE CONFIGURATION SET, DEVICE CONFIGURATION FREEZE LOCK,
DEVICE CONFIGURATION IDENTIFY, and DEVICE CONFIGURATION RESTORE commands are
aborted by the device. The DEVICE CONFIGURATION FREEZE LOCK condition shall be cleared by a
power-down. The DEVICE CONFIGURATION FREEZE LOCK condition shall not be cleared by hardware
or software reset.
11.2.3 DEVICE CONFIGURATION IDENTIFY (subcommand C2h)
The DEVICE CONFIGURATION IDENTIFY command returns a 512 byte data structure via PIO data-in
transfer. The content of this data structure indicates the selectable commands, modes, and feature sets
that the device is capable of supporting. If a DEVICE CONFIGURATION SET command has been issued
reducing the capabilities, the response to an IDENTIFY DEVICE or IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE com-
mand will reflect the reduced set of capabilities, while the DEVICE CONFIGURATION IDENTIFY
command will reflect the entire set of selectable capabilities.
The format of the Device Configuration Overlay data structure is shown on the next page.
11.2.4 DEVICE CONFIGURATION SET (subcommand C3h)
The DEVICE CONFIGURATION SET command allows a device manufacturer or a personal computer
system manufacturer to reduce the set of optional commands, modes, or feature sets supported by a
device as indicated by a DEVICE CONFIGURATION IDENTIFY command. The DEVICE
CONFIGURATION SET command transfers an overlay that modifies some of the bits set in words 63, 82,
83, 84, and 88 of the IDENTIFY DEVICE command response. When the bits in these words are cleared,
the device no longer supports the indicated command, mode, or feature set. If a bit is set in the overlay
transmitted by the device that is not set in the overlay received from a DEVICE CONFIGURATION
IDENTIFY command, no action is taken for that bit.
The format of the overlay transmitted by the device is described in the table at next page. The restrictions
on changing these bits is described in the text following that table. If any of the bit modification restrictions
described are violated or any setting is changed with DEVICE CONFIGURATION SET command, the
device shall return command aborted. In that case, an error reason code is returned to sector count
register, an invalid word location is returned to cylinder high register, and an invalid bit location is returned
to cylinder low register. The Definition of error information is shown at next page.
ERROR INFORMATION EXAMPLE 1:
After establishing a protected area with SET MAX address, if a user attempts to change maximum LBA
address (DEVICE CONFIGURATION SET or DEVICE CONFIGURATION RESTORE), the device aborts
that command and returns one of the error reason codes listed below.
= Protected area is now established 06h Sector count
this register is not assigned in this case 00h Cylinder low
= word 3 is invalid 03h Cylinder high
ERROR INFORMATION EXAMPLE 2:
When the device is enabled and the Security feature is set, if the user attempts to disable that feature, the
device aborts that command and returns one of the error reason codes listed below.
= now Security feature set is enabled 04h Sector count
= bit 3 is invalid 03h Cylinder low
= word 7 is invalid 07h Cylinder high
