10.14 Selection without ATN
If the target is selected without ATN signal active, no Identify message is received from the initiator. In this
case, the LUN is identified from the CDB and disconnect permission is disabled. The target does not
perform any phase retries. The target still responds to a subsequent attention condition. However, the LUN
is not considered to be known if a fatal error is detected during the Command phase. That is a Command
phase parity error or a fatal message error in response to attention condition during Command phase is
handled as a Bus Free error with no sense data. The target also knows the use of linked commands if
selected without ATN.
Phase retries may be allowed if a subsequent Identify message is received.
