Ending Boundary

9GB: 0043B9h, The ending boundary field either indicates the ending of

02h

the active notch or, if the active notch is 0, it indicates the
ending of the logical unit. If the LPN value is 1, the ending

18GB: 0043B9h, boundary is a Logical Block Address.

04h

If the LPN value is 0, the three most significant bytes
identify the ending cylinder number and the least

36GB: 0043B9h, significant byte identify the ending head number. This field

09h

is unchangeable. When used with the MODE SELECT

Pages Notched

00000000b,

This is a 64-bit bit map that indicates which MODE

00000000b,

command pages contain parameters that may be different

00000000b,

for different notches. The most significant bit (MSB)

00000000b,

corresponds to Page 3Fh (Vendor-Unique Caching Page),

00000000b,

and the least significant bit (LSB) corresponds to Pae 00h

00000000b,

(Unit Attention Control Page).

00010000b,

00001000b

If a bit is 1, the corresponding mode page contains
parameters that may be different for different notches.
If a bit is 0, the corresponding mode page contains
parameters that are constant for all notches.
The value of 1 in bits 3 and 12 indicates that Page 03h and
0Ch contain different parameters for different notches.
