Power Condition page (1Ah)
The Power Condition page provides the initiator the means to control the length of time a logical unit will delay
before changing its power requirements. There is no notification to the initiator that a logical unit has entered
into one of the power conditions. On receipt of this command, the device adjusts itself to the power condition
which allows the command to execute. The timer which maps to this power condition and any lower power con-
dition timers is reset on receipt of the command. The timer associated with this power condition is restarted
when the condition that forces the change in power completes.
