8.3.2.1 PxSSTS—Serial ATA Status Register (D31:F2)
Address Offset: Attribute: RO
Default Value: 00000000h Size: 32 bits
SDATA when SINDX.RIDX is 00h. This is a 32-bit register that conveys the current state
of the interface and host. Intel® Xeon® Processor D-1500 Product Family updates it
continuously and asynchronously. When Intel® Xeon® Processor D-1500 Product
Family transmits a COMRESET to the device, this register is updated to its reset values.
8.3.2.2 PxSCTL—Serial ATA Control Register (D31:F2)
Address Offset: Attribute: R/W, RO
Default Value: 00000000h Size: 32 bits
SDATA when SINDX.RIDX is 01h. This is a 32-bit read-write register by which software
controls SATA capabilities. Writes to the SControl register result in an action being
taken by Intel® Xeon® Processor D-1500 Product Family or the interface. Reads from
the register return the last value written to it.
