S.M.A.R.T. Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave subcommand D2h

Page 222 highlights

12.46.1.2 S.M.A.R.T. Read Attribute Thresholds (subcommand D1h) This subcommand returns the Attribute Thresholds of the device to the host. Upon receipt of the SMART Read Attribute Thresholds subcommand from the host, the device reads the Attribute Thresholds from the Attribute Threshold sectors and then transfers the 512 bytes of Attribute Thresholds information to the host. 12.46.1.3 S.M.A.R.T. Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave (subcommand D2h) This subcommand enables and disables the Attribute Autosave feature of the device. The S.M.A.R.T. Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave subcommand allows the device to automatically save its updated Attribute Values to the Attribute Data Sector periodically or causes the Autosave feature to be disabled. The state of the Attribute Autosave feature-either enabled or disabled-will be preserved by the device across the power cycle. A value of 00h written by the host into the Sector Count Register of the device before issuing the S.M.A.R.T. Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave subcommand will cause this feature to be disabled. Disabling this feature does not preclude the device from saving Attribute Values to the Attribute Data sectors during another normal operation such as a power-up or a power-down. A value of F1h written by the host into the device's Sector Count Register before issuing the S.M.A.R.T. Enable/ Disable Attribute Autosave subcommand will cause this feature to be enabled. Any other nonzero value written by the host into this register before issuing the S.M.A.R.T. Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave subcommand will not change the current Autosave status. However the device will respond with the error code specified in Table 166: "S.M.A.R.T. Error Codes" on page 220. The S.M.A.R.T. Disable Operations subcommand disables the Autosave feature along with the S.M.A.R.T. operations of the device. Upon the receipt of the subcommand from the host, the device asserts BSY, enables or disables the Autosave feature, clears BSY, and asserts INTRQ. 12.46.1.4 S.M.A.R.T. Save Attribute Values (subcommand D3h) This subcommand causes the device to immediately save any updated Attribute Values to the device's Attribute Data sector regardless of the state of the Attribute Autosave feature. Upon receipt of the S.M.A.R.T. Save Attribute Values subcommand from the host, the device asserts BSY, writes any updated Attribute Values to the Attribute Data sector, clears BSY, and asserts INTRQ. 12.46.1.5 S.M.A.R.T. Execute Off-line Immediate (subcommand D4h) This subcommand causes the device to immediately initiate the set of activities that collect Attribute data in an offline mode (off-line routine) or execute a self-test routine in either captive or off-line mode. The Sector Number register shall be set to specify the operation to be executed. Sector Number 0 1 2 4 127 129 130 132 Operation to be executed Execute S.M.A.R.T. off-line data collection routine immediately Execute S.M.A.R.T.

12.46.1.2
S.M.A.R.T. Read Attribute Thresholds (subcommand D1h)
This subcommand returns the Attribute Thresholds of the device to the host. Upon receipt of the SMART Read
Attribute Thresholds subcommand from the host, the device reads the Attribute Thresholds from the Attribute
Threshold sectors and then transfers the 512 bytes of Attribute Thresholds information to the host.
12.46.1.3
S.M.A.R.T. Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave (subcommand D2h)
This subcommand enables and disables the Attribute Autosave feature of the device. The S.M.A.R.T. Enable/Dis-
able Attribute Autosave subcommand allows the device to automatically save its updated Attribute Values to the
Attribute Data Sector periodically or causes the Autosave feature to be disabled. The state of the Attribute
Autosave feature—either enabled or disabled—will be preserved by the device across the power cycle.
A value of 00h written by the host into the Sector Count Register of the device before issuing the S.M.A.R.T.
Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave subcommand will cause this feature to be disabled. Disabling this feature does
not preclude the device from saving Attribute Values to the Attribute Data sectors during another normal operation
such as a power-up or a power-down.
A value of F1h written by the host into the device's Sector Count Register before issuing the S.M.A.R.T. Enable/
Disable Attribute Autosave subcommand will cause this feature to be enabled. Any other nonzero value written by
the host into this register before issuing the S.M.A.R.T. Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave subcommand will not
change the current Autosave status. However the device will respond with the error code specified in Table 166:
“S.M.A.R.T. Error Codes” on page 220.
The S.M.A.R.T. Disable Operations subcommand disables the Autosave feature along with the S.M.A.R.T. opera-
tions of the device.
Upon the receipt of the subcommand from the host, the device asserts BSY, enables or disables the Autosave fea-
ture, clears BSY, and asserts INTRQ.
12.46.1.4
S.M.A.R.T. Save Attribute Values (subcommand D3h)
This subcommand causes the device to immediately save any updated Attribute Values to the device's Attribute
Data sector regardless of the state of the Attribute Autosave feature. Upon receipt of the S.M.A.R.T. Save Attribute
Values subcommand from the host, the device asserts BSY, writes any updated Attribute Values to the Attribute
Data sector, clears BSY, and asserts INTRQ.
12.46.1.5
S.M.A.R.T. Execute Off-line Immediate (subcommand D4h)
This subcommand causes the device to immediately initiate the set of activities that collect Attribute data in an off-
line mode (off-line routine) or execute a self-test routine in either captive or off-line mode. The Sector Number reg-
ister shall be set to specify the operation to be executed.
