1.11Advanced Power Management
The disk drive shifts to the three kinds of APM modes automatically under the
Idle condition.
The APM mode can be chosen with a Sector Count register of the
SETFEATURES(EF) command.
In APM Mode-1, which is the APM default mode, the operation status shifts till it
finally reaches "Low Power Idle."
The disk drive complies with the three kinds of APM modes that a command
from the host is required.
FR = 05h : Enable APM
SC = C0h - FEh :
Mode-0 Active Idle → Low Power Idle
SC = 80h - BFh :
Mode-1 Active Idle → Low Power Idle (Default)
SC = 01h - 7Fh :
Mode-2 Active Idle → Low Power Idle → Standby
FR = 85h : Reset APM (return to Default.)
