Notes.
[1] Additional Length:
This two byte value indicates the number of additional bytes included in the diagnostic data list. For
example, if no product unique byte (byte 7) is available, this value would be 0006h. A value of 0000h
means that there are no additional bytes.
[2] FRU Code:
A Field Replaceable Unit code is a byte that identifies an assembly that may have failed. The codes will
be listed in probability order, with the most probable assembly listed first and the least probable listed
last. A code of 00h indicates there is no FRU information and a code of 01h indicates the entire unit
should be replaced. Seagate drives return 00h in these bytes.
[3] Error Code:
This two byte value provides information designating which part of a diagnostic operation has failed. The
byte 7 error code is vendor unique and defined as follows.
