12.5.1 Power Mode
Sleep Mode
The lowest power consumption when the device is powered on occurs in Sleep Mode.
When in sleep mode, the device requires a reset to be activated.
Standby Mode
The device interface is capable of accepting commands, but as the media may not
immediately accessible, there is a delay while waiting for the spindle to reach
operating speed.
Idle Mode
Refer to the section of Adaptive Battery Life Extender Feature.
Active Mode
The device is in execution of a command or accessing the disk media with read
look-ahead function or write cache function.
12.5.2 Power Management Commands
The Check Power Mode command allows a host to determine if a device is currently in, going to or leaving standby
mode.
The Idle and Idle Immediate commands move a device to idle mode immediately from the active or standby modes.
The idle command also sets the standby timer count and starts the standby timer.
The sleep command moves a device to sleep mode. The device's interface becomes inactive at the completion of the
sleep command. A reset is required to move a device out of sleep mode. When a device exits sleep mode it will enter
standby mode.
The Standby and Standby Immediate commands move a device to standby mode immediately from the active or idle
modes. The standby command also sets the standby timer count.
12.5.3 Standby/Sleep command completion timing
1. Confirm the completion of writing cached data in the buffer to media
2. Unload heads on the ramp
3. Set DRDY bit and DSC bit in Status Register

commands to the device.
