Message restrictions
PPR may be originated by SCSI initiator ports but shall not be originated by SCSI target ports. If bus expanders 
are present, SCSI initiator ports should only use PPR when requesting values not attainable via WDTR and 
SDTR (e.g., setting any protocol option bits to one). If a SCSI target port responds to PPR only with values that 
are attainable via WDTR and SDTR (i.e., all protocol option bits set to zero), the SCSI initiator port should 
repeat negotiation with a WDTR and SDTR negotiation sequence. This ensures that bus expanders that do not 
support PPR are still able to handle data phases correctly.
WDTR and SDTR may be originated by either SCSI target ports or SCSI initiator ports. Since WDTR resets all 
the values that SDTR sets, it shall be sent first if both are needed. SCSI target ports capable of wide transfer 
agreements shall originate negotiation with WDTR followed with SDTR.
Note.
If IU_REQ was set to one and a successful SCSI target port originated WDTR negotiation occurs, a 
BUS FREE phase generated because the SCSI target port detected that IU_REQ was changed is 
indistinguishable from a BUS FREE phase generated because the target port was detecting parity 
errors on the WDTR OUT. Following the WDTR negotiation with an SDTR negotiation before the BUS 
FREE occurs ensures that the SCSI initiator port and SCSI target port both know that IU_REQ has 
changed.

Negotiation message sequences
A SCSI initiator port originated negotiation sequence contains up to four steps:
1. SCSI initiator port’s originating message;
2. SCSI target port response;
3. SCSI initiator port response; and
4. SCSI target port second response.
A SCSI target port originated negotiation sequence contains up to four steps:
1. SCSI target port’s originating message;
2. SCSI initiator port response;
3. SCSI target port response; and
4. SCSI initiator port second response.
If the negotiation fails after a vendor-specific number of retries, the SCSI port originating the negotiation 
sequence may discontinue communication with the other SCSI port.
For illustrations showing the various negotiation responses, refer to the ANSI SPI-5 specification Section 
4.12.7.
