b. Format parameter (page code = 3)

Specify the number of spare sectors for each cell in the "alternate sectors/zone" field (cannot

be changed).

(2) FORMAT UNIT command

Initialize entire recording surface of the disk with the FORMAT UNIT command. The FORMAT

UNIT command initializes entire surface of the disk using the P lists, verifies data blocks after

initialization, and allocates an alternate block for a defect block detected with verification. With

initialization, the pattern specified with the initialization data pattern field is written into all bytes

of all logical data blocks. Only the position information of defect blocks detected with

verification is registered in the G list. The specifications are as follows:

a. Specifying CDB

Specify 0 for the "FmtData" bit and the "CmpLst" bit on CDB, 000 for the "Defect List

Format" field, and data pattern written into the data block at initialization for the "initializing

data pattern" field.

b. Format parameter

When the values in step a. are specified with CDB, the format parameter is not needed.
