Table 5-152

Supported Diagnostics Pages Page-Data Format

To obtain the Supported Diagnostics Pages list, the initiator must:

1. Send a Supported Diagnostics Page to the drive with a SEND DIAGNOSTICS
command (the Page Length in the Supported Diagnostics page must be 0).

2. Send a RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS command to the drive. The listing
of Supported Diagnostic Pages is returned by the drive.

5.27.2

Translate Address Page (40h)

The Translate Address Page allows the initiator to translate a logical sector address,
physical address, or physical bytes for an index address into any one of the other
formats. The address to be translated is passed to the drive with the SEND
DIAGNOSTIC command, and the results are returned to the initiator by the
RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS command.

Table 5-153 shows the format of the Translate Address Page that is returned in
response to a RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS command, and Table 5-154
contains a description of the data fields. Multiple translated addresses are returned if
the logical sector size is greater than 512 bytes (more than one physical data sector).
