6.2.6.1
DST Failure Definition
The drive will present a “diagnostic failed” condition through the self-tests results value of the diagnostic log 
page if a functional failure is encountered during DST. The channel and servo parameters are not modified to 
test the drive more stringently, and the number of retries are not reduced. All retries and recovery processes 
are enabled during the test. If data is recoverable, no failure condition will be reported regardless of the number 
of retries required to recover the data.
The following conditions are considered DST failure conditions:
• Seek error after retries are exhausted
• Track-follow error after retries are exhausted
• Read error after retries are exhausted
• Write error after retries are exhausted
Recovered errors will not be reported as diagnostic failures.
6.2.6.2
Implementation
This section provides all of the information necessary to implement the DST function on this drive.
6.2.6.2.1
State of the drive prior to testing
The drive must be in a ready state before issuing the Send Diagnostic command. There are multiple reasons 
why a drive may not be ready, some of which are valid conditions, and not errors. For example, a drive may be 
in process of doing a format, or another DST. It is the responsibility of the host application to determine the “not 
ready” cause.
While not technically part of DST, a Not Ready condition also qualifies the drive to be returned to Seagate as a 
failed drive.
A Drive Not Ready condition is reported by the drive under the following conditions:
• Motor will not spin
• Motor will not lock to speed
• Servo will not lock on track
• Drive cannot read configuration tables from the disc
In these conditions, the drive responds to a Test Unit Ready command with an 02/04/00 or 02/04/03 code.
6.2.6.2.2
Invoking DST
To invoke DST, submit the Send Diagnostic command with the appropriate Function Code (001b for the short 
test or 010b for the extended test) in bytes 1, bits 5, 6, and 7. Refer to the SCSI Commands Reference Manual
part number 100293068, for additional information about invoking DST.
6.2.6.2.3
Short and extended tests
DST has two testing options:
1.
short
2.
extended
These testing options are described in the following two subsections.
Each test consists of three segments: an electrical test segment, a servo test segment, and a read/verify scan 
segment.
