A CLOSE primitive is used to close a connection.  When a CLOSE primitive is 
sent, the close timer (1 ms) is started.  If a CLOSE primitive is not received within 
1 ms of sending CLOSE primitive, the BREAK primitive is sent.  The recipient 
must send a CLOSE primitive within 1 ms of receiving a CLOSE primitive.   

Drives support only the CLOSE (NORMAL) primitive as a CLOSE primitive, 
while the CLOSE (CLEAR AFFILIATION), CLOSE (RESERVED 0), and 
CLOSE (RESERVED 1) primitives are ignored. 

EOAF specifies the end of an address frame. 

ERROR should be sent by an expander device when it is forwarding dwords from 
a SAS physical link or SATA  physical link to a SAS physical link and it receives 
an invalid dword or an ERROR. 

When a drive receives an ERROR primitive, the drive discards it.  When a 
received address frame contains the ERROR primitive, the whole address frame is 
discarded even if CRC is correct. 

When a drive receives an SSP frame containing the ERROR primitive, the drive 
discards the whole SSP frame even if CRC is correct, and sends the NAK 
primitive. 

HARD_RESET is used to force a phy to generate a hard reset to its port. This 
primitive is only valid after the phy reset sequence without an intervening 
identification sequence and shall be ignored at other times. 

Upon receipt of the HARD_RESET primitive, a drive clears all the commands it 
is currently holding. 

In a dual port drive, the HARD_RESET primitive received at one port (e.g., at 
port A) affects the other port (e.g., at port B). 

Meanwhile, as can be expected, a link reset sequence that occurs at one port (e.g., 
port A) does not affect the other port (e.g., port B).
