Check Word 78 bit 6 in IDENTIFY DEVICE (set to one)
Measurement Requirements
Check Word 84 bit 4 (set to one)
If the above is false, then the test is not applicable
Otherwise, run the following test
o Check value of log pages 22:21
o Complete an ATA specification compliant activity to change the values represented in log pages
22:21 such that they do not represent the default values. The state of the new values must be known
for comparison in pass/fail criteria.
o Verify the new value of log pages 22:21
o Issue COMRESET and complete OOB sequence
o Check value of log pages 22:21
Verify that log pages 22:21 contain the same values following COMRESET
Pass/Fail Criteria
2.4.3. SSP-03 : Security Mode State
2.4.3.1. Device Expected Behavior
NOTE - To test the following requirement, a device must claim support for Security Mode (Word 82 bit 1 set to one in
IDENTIFY DEVICE or IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE data).
Upon receipt of a COMRESET, a device shall maintain the value of Security Mode. Specifically, if Security Mode is
enabled (Word 85 bit 1 set to one in IDENTIFY DEVICE or IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE data) upon receipt of a
COMRESET then the mode value (Word 128 bits 3:1 in IDENTIFY DEVICE or IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE data)
shall be maintained after a COMRESET.
Check Word 78 bit 6 in IDENTIFY DEVICE or IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE (set to one)
Measurement Requirements
Check Word 82 bit 1 (set to one)
If the above is false, then the test is not applicable
Otherwise, run the following test
o Check value of Word 85 bit 1 (set to one)
If the above is not true, then the Security Mode feature set must be enabled to continue
o Check value of Word 128 bits 3:1
o Complete an ATA specification compliant activity to change the values represented in Word 128 bits
3:1 such that they do not represent the default values. The state of the new values must be known
for comparison in pass/fail criteria.
o Verify the new value of Word 128 bits 3:1
o Issue COMRESET and complete OOB sequence
o Check value of Word 85 bit 1 (set to one)
o Check value of Word 128 bits 3:1
Verify that IDENTIFY DEVICE or IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE Word 85 bit 1 contains the same value
following COMRESET
Pass/Fail Criteria
Verify that IDENTIFY DEVICE or IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE Word 128 bits 3:1 contain the same value
following COMRESET
2.4.4. SSP-04 : Set Address Max
2.4.4.1. Device Expected Behavior
This test is not applicable to ATAPI devices.
