The Medium Type field must always be loaded with code 00
H
and identify the default
medium type.
The controller ignores WP and DPOFUA bit in MODE SELECT command.
The Block Descriptor Length field specifies the total length in bytes of the block
descriptors. The eligible length values are 0 and 8. This means that at most one
block descriptor can be specified.
The Block Descriptor field specifies the area on the medium that is accessible to the
host computer.
The Number of Blocks field specifies the number of logical blocks on the medium that
satisfy the block length in the block descriptor. The number of blocks field = 0
indicates that the number of blocks value is not changed from the current value if the
block length of the Block Descriptor remains the same as the current value. And if
the block length of the Block Descriptor is different from the current value, the
controller uses the default maximum number of blocks as the number of blocks value.
The block length field specifies the length in bytes of the logical block.
Please refer to “Product Specifications” for the information of the eligible block length
values.
Each page is preceded by a 2-byte page header that defines the page code and page
length.
The Page Code field specifies the meaning of the bytes following the page length field.
The Page Code field must be loaded with a page code that is supported by the
controller. The page codes supported by the SCSI controller are listed below.
