Test 9.1.3 - SSP Frames Structure – NUMBER OF FILL BYTES
Purpose: To determine that the DUT properly sets the NUMBER OF FILL BYTES field.
References:
9.2.1 SAS Standard
Resource Requirements: SAS Protocol Analyzer and Generator.
Revision History: September 23, 2004
Test Setup: The DUT and the Testing Station are physically connected.
Test Procedure (SSP Targets):
• The Testing Station should start and complete a Phy Reset sequence followed by an Identify sequence
with the DUT. Since the DUT is a target the Testing Station should transmit an Identify Address frame
indicating that it is an initiator.
• The Testing Station should open an SSP connection to the DUT. The Testing Station should transmit a
READ command to the DUT.
• Wait for the DUT to open an SSP connection to the Testing Station. Allow the DUT to transmit DATA
and SCSI Response to the Testing Station.
Observable Results: If the DUT is a target, verify that the NUMBER OF FILL BYTES field in the SSP Response
frame is set to 0.
