5-126 Quantum DLT 7000 Tape System
MODE SENSE (6) / (10) Command (1Ah / 5Ah) (continued)
5.10.3.8 EEPROM Vendor Unique Page (3Eh)
The tape drive supports the EEPROM vendor unique page (3Eh). All the
EEPROM parameters that are set via the MODE SELECT EEPROM Vendor
Unique page are returned.
NOTE
Because of the length of the parameter list, use MODE SENSE (10)
instead of MODE SENSE (6) to retrieve EEPROM parameters.
Because of the length of the list of EEPROM parameters, a 10-byte MODE
SENSE command is required. If a 6-byte MODE SENSE command is used for
retrieval, the data is returned as follows:
Send a 10-byte MODE SENSE command to get the Parameter List.
The data returned by the 10-byte MODE SENSE command for the EEPROM page
is in the form of a MODE SENSE (10) data header followed by block and page
descriptors.
The data in the page descriptor is organized in the form of a parameter header
followed by the actual parameter’s value. The parameter is as follows:
Name T Current Default Minimum Maximum
Name refers to the parameter name, for example, PRODUCTID or
DEFAULTCOMPON.
T designates data type: “b” indicates binary, “A” indicates string type, and if
there is no designator, the data is in decimal.
Current, Default, Minimum, and Maximum specify the current, default, minimum,
and maximum values of the parameter.
