Figure 99 Set Max ADDRESS (F9h)
The Set Max ADDRESS command overwrites the max LBA/CYL of HDD in a range of actual device capacities.
The device receives this command, all accesses beyond that LBA/CYL are rejected with setting ABORT bit in
status register. Identify device command and Identify device DMA command returns the LBA/CYL which is set via
this command as a default value.
This command implement SET MAX security extension commands as subcommands. But regardless of Feature
register value, the case this command is immediately preceded by a Read Native Max ADDRESS command, it is
interpreted as a Set Max ADDRESS command.
The Read Native Max ADDRESS command should be issued and completed immediately prior to issuing Set Max
ADDRESS command. Otherwise this command is interpreted as a Set Max security extension command which is
destinated by feature register. If Set Max security mode is in the Locked or Frozen, the Set Max ADDRESS
command is aborted.
For more information, see "12.9.2 Set Max security extension commands" on page 78.
In CHS mode, LBA High, LBA Mid specify the max cylinder number. The Head number of Device and LBA Low
are ignored. The default value(See default CHS in Identify device information) is used for that.
In LBA mode, the Head number of Device, LBA High, LBA Mid and LBA Low specify the max LBA. This
command sets this LBA as the max LBA of the device.
After a successful command completion, Identify Device response words (61:60) shall reflect the maximum address
set with this command.
If the 48-bit Address feature set is supported, the value placed in Identify Device response words (103:100) shall be
the same as the value placed in words (61:60). However, if the device contains greater than 268,435,455 sectors, the
capacity addressable with 28-bit commands, and the address requested is 268,435,455, the max address shall be
changed to the native maximum address, the value placed in words (61:60) shall be 268,435,455 and the value
placed in words (103:100) shall be the native maximum address.
If a host protected area has been established by a Set Max Address Ext command, the device shall return command
aborted.

Option bit for selection whether nonvolatile or volatile. B=0 is volatile

ADDRESS command is preserved by POR and HARD RESET. When
