When an error is detected in the self-diagnostics, the IDD terminates the SEND DIAGNOSTIC 
command with the CHECK CONDITION status. 
 
The INIT should issue the REQUEST SENSE command when the CHECK CONDITION 
status is posted.  The sense data collected by the REQUEST SENSE command indicates the 
detail information of the error detected in the self-diagnostics. 
 
The IDD status after the CHECK CONDITION status is posted differs according to the type of 
the detected error. 
a) 
When an error is detected in the seek or write/read test, the subsequent command can be 
accepted correctly.  When the command other than the REQUEST SENSE and NO 
OPERATION is issued from the same INIT, the error information (sense data) is cleared. 
b) 
When an error is detected in the hardware function test, the IDD posts the CHECK 
CONDITION status for all I/O operation request except the REQUEST SENSE 
command.  The error status is not cleared even if the error information (sense data) is 
read.  Only when the power is turned off or re-turned on, the status can be cleared.  When 
this status is cleared, the IDD executes the initial self-diagnostics again (see item (1)). 
 
Refer to Chapter 3 of SCSI Logical Interface Specifications for further details of the command 
specifications. 
CAUTION 
 
Data loss 
When the SEND DIAGNOSTIC command terminates with the 
CHECK CONDITION status, the INIT must collect the error 
information using the REQUEST SENSE command.  The RECEIVE 
DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS command cannot read out the error 
information detected in the self-diagnostics. 
 
 
6.1.2 Test 
programs 
 
The basic operations of the IDD itself can be checked with the self-diagnostic function.  However, 
to check general operations such as the host system and interface operations in a status similar to 
the normal operation status, a test program that runs on the host system must be used. 
 
The structure and functions of the test program depend on the user system requirements.  
Generally, it is recommended to provide a general input/output test program that includes SCSI 
devices connected to the SCSI bus and input/output devices on other I/O ports. 
 
Including the following test items in the test program is recommended to test the IDD functions 
generally.
