13.9 Host Protected Area Function
The Host Protected Area Function provides a "protected area" which cannot be accessed using
conventional methods. This "protected area" is used to contain critical system data such as BIOS or
system management information. The contents of the main memory of the entire system may also be
dumped into the "protected area" to resume after system power off.
The LBA/CYL changed by following command affects the Identify Device Information.
The following set of commands are implemented for this function.
Read Native Max Address
('F8'h)
Set Max Address
('F9'h)
13.9.1 Example for operation (in LBA mode)
Assumptions: For better understanding the following example uses actual values such as LBA and size.
Since it is just an example, the values may be different.

BB8600h to C1ACFFhLBA range for protected area
12,289,536 (BB8600h)Customer usable sector count
6,292,242,432 byte (6.2GB)Customer usable device size

1. Shipping of drives from the manufacturer
Prior to being shipped from the manufacturer each drive has been tested to have a usable capacity of
6.4 GB besides flagged media defects not visible by system.
2. Preparation of drives by the system manufacturer
Special utility software is required to define the size of the protected area and to store the data into it. The
sequence is as follows:
