feature (either enabled or disabled) will be preserved by the device across power cycle.
A value of 00h written by the host into the device's Sector Count Register before issuing the S.M.A.R.T.
Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave subcommand will cause this feature to be disabled. Disabling this feature does
not preclude the device from saving Attribute Values to the Attribute Data sectors during some other normal
operation such as during a power-up or power-down.
A value of F1h written by the host into the device's Sector Count Register before issuing the S.M.A.R.T.
Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave subcommand will cause this feature to be enabled. Any other non-zero value
written by the host into this register before issuing the S.M.A.R.T. Enable/Disable Attribute Autosave subcommand
will not change the current Autosave status but the device will respond with the error code specified in "Figure 118
S.M.A.R.T. Error Codes" on page 164.
The S.M.A.R.T. Disable Operations subcommand disables the autosave feature along with the device's S.M.A.R.T.
operations.
Upon the receipt of the subcommand from the host, the device asserts BSY, enables or disables the Autosave feature,
clears BSY and asserts INTRQ.
14.39.1.4 S.M.A.R.T. Save Attribute Values (Subcommand D3h)
This subcommand causes the device to immediately save any updated Attribute Values to the device's Attribute
Data sector regardless of the state of the Attribute Autosave feature. Upon receipt of the S.M.A.R.T. Save Attribute
Values subcommand from the host, the device asserts BSY, writes any updated Attribute Values to the Attribute
Data sector, clears BSY and asserts INTRQ.
14.39.1.5 S.M.A.R.T. Execute Off-line Immediate (Subcommand D4h)
This subcommand causes the device to immediately initiate the set of activities that collect Attribute data in an
off-line mode (off-line routine) or execute a self-test routine in either captive or off-line mode.
The LBA Low register shall be set to specify the operation to be executed.

Execute SMART selective self-test routine immediately in captive mode
Off-line mode:
The device executes command completion before executing the specified routine. During execution
of the routine the device will not set BSY nor clear DRDY. If the device is in the process of performing its routine
and is interrupted by a new command from the host, the device will abort or suspend its routine and service the host
within two seconds after receipt of the new command. After servicing the interrupting command, the device will
resume its routine automatically or not start its routine depending on the interrupting command.
Captive mode:
When executing self-test in captive mode, the device sets BSY to one and executes the specified
self-test routine after receipt of the command. At the end of the routine, the device sets the execution result in the
Self-test execution status byte and ATA registers as below and executes command completion.
Status
Set ERR to one when self-test has failed
Error
Set ABRT to one when self-test has failed
LBA Mid
Set to F4h when self-test has failed
LBA High
Set to 2Ch when self-test has failed
SMART Selective self-test routine
When the value in the LBA Low register is 4 or 132, the Selective self-test routine shall be performed. This self-test
routine shall include the initial tests performed by the Extended self-test routine plus a selectable read scan. The host
shall not write the Selective self-test log while the execution of a Selective self-test command is in progress.
The user may choose to do read scan only on specific areas of the media. To do this, user shall set the test spans
desired in the Selective self-test log and set the flags in the Feature flags field of the Selective self-test log to
indicate do not perform off-line scan. In this case, the test spans defined shall be read scanned in their entirety. The
Selective self-test log is updated as the self-test proceeds indicating test progress. When all specified test spans have
been completed, the test is terminated and the appropriate self-test execution status is reported in the SMART
READ DATA response depending on the occurrence of errors. Figure 87 shows an example of a Selective selftest
