Note: The Initiate Loop Initialization Action Code (03h) does not include a transfer of information to the enclo-
sure. The Action Specific bits in the Enclosure Request define the operation to be performed. See Table 62.
04h Device Identification (see Section 10.5.3.4).
05h Device Temperature (see Section 10.5.3.5).
06h Port Parameters (see Section 10.5.3.6).

Action Specific
The Action Specific byte determines behavior unique to each action code. Refer to Table 63 for the Action Specific byte for
Action Code 3 and Table 71 for the Action Specific byte for Action Code 8. If an Action Specific field is not defined for a
given action code, its value shall be zero.
Initiate LIP Action Specific Bits
This table describes the Action Specific byte 3 of the Enclosure Request shown in Table 61.
Note. The LIP Loop B and LIP Loop A bits are only defined as such if the Action Code field is set to 03 (Initiate Loop Ini-
tialization).
Field definitions (listed alphabetically)
LIP Loop A/B
1 The drive enters the Loop Initialization Process on either loop A, B, or both as indicated by these bits. The drive
originates a LIP(F7,AL_PS) if it has a valid AL_PA. The drive originates a LIP(F7,F7) if it does not have a valid
AL_PA.
Page Code
The Page Code identifies the page of enclosure data being transferred.
Note. The Page Code is always 00h for Enclosure Initiated ESI.
Parameter Length
The parameter length in the enclosure request is set by the enclosure to the number of bytes it is requesting including the
four header bytes. The drive sends the actual length of the requested information or the length identified in the request
parameter length whichever is less. If the parameter length is equal to 0, The drive ends the ESI transfer by negating
Parallel_ESI.
