Zeus 2.5-Inch ATA Solid State Drive 15
Power Savings Commands
Zeus SSDs support the following Power Savings commands and respond with the appropriate status:
• Check Power Mode
• Idle
• Standby
• Standby Immediate
• Sleep
The drives comply with all specifications that define the behavior of storage devices as it relates to
power management and advanced power management (APM). When the SSDs receive a power
management command, all data in the Write cache buffer is written to the media before Drive Ready
is asserted.
Power Mode at Power On
The drives comply with the ATA-6 Power Management Specification. During the Power On Reset
sequence, the drive functions properly and responds as appropriate. In addition, if a SRST (ATA
Interface Reset) occurs during this sequence, the drives still respond normally. After power on or hard
reset, the drive goes into IDLE or STANDBY mode, depending on the setting by the host.
Grounding
Signal and chassis grounds are connected together in the drive. To ensure minimal EM emissions,
the user should provide maximum surface contact area when connecting the drive to the chassis
ground.
