scope:

This part of ISO/IEC 14776 documents the commands and parameters necessary to manage and sense the state of the power supplies, cooling devices, displays, indicators, individual drives, and other non-SCSI elements installed in an enclosure. The command set uses the SCSI SEND DIAGNOSTIC and RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS commands (see SPC-4) to obtain configuration information for the enclosure and to set and sense standard bits for each type of element that may be installed in the enclosure.

The following concepts from SES are made obsolete by this standard:

a) Array Control and Array Status diagnostic pages (page code 06h); and

b) secondary subenclosure support in the Help Text, String Out, and String In diagnostic pages.

The set of SCSI standards specifies the interfaces, functions, and operations necessary to ensure interoperability between conforming SCSI implementations. This standard is a functional description. Conforming implementations may employ any design technique that does not violate interoperability.
