B10.1.4.2 Bootable controller supports El Torito No Emulation mode; option ROM supports INT 13h Extensions

SCSI host adapters with boot ROMs must support the current No Emulation mode of the “El Torito”–Bootable CD-ROM Format Specification, Version 1.0 and the BIOS Boot Specification, Version 1.01.

The INT 13h Extensions ensure correct support for high-capacity drives, and consistent drive-letter mapping between real mode and protected mode. Support for the fixed-disk access subset of INT 13h Extensions must be provided in the system BIOS and in any option ROMs for storage devices that include BIOS support. The INT 13h Extensions are defined in the “Layered Block Device Drivers” section of the Windows DDK.

B10.1.4.3 Removable media devices support media status notification

The intent of the requirement for media status notification is for devices to support the commands of the implemented bus interface so the operating system can detect when a media event has taken place. The requirements for removable storage devices are defined in the following table; they apply either to single LUN devices or to devices that are part of a Multiple LUN device.

A CD-R/RW drive must support the following Get Event/Status Notification commands:

    Operational Change Request/Notification
    External Request
    Media Request
    Device Busy

The following list shows the required specifications for implementing media status notification, depending on device type.

Device type	Media status notification implementation
All CD or DVD devices (independent of interconnect)	Required. Comply with INCITS T10 MMC-2 standard for Media Status Event Notification.
ATAPI floppy/optical direct access drives (PD, MO, removable magnetic floppy or rigid based, and so on)	Required. Comply with either MMC-2 standard or SFF 8070i Version 1.1.
IEEE 1394 storage devices (non-CD / DVD)	Required. Comply with INCITS Reduced Block Commands (RBC) standard.
ATA and non-ATAPI (IDE interconnect) storage devices	Required. Comply with Media Status Notification Support, Version 1.03.
Other ATA/ATAPI devices, including tape drives	Recommended. If implemented, comply with Media Status Notification Support Specification, Version 1.03, or SFF 8070i.
Other types of SCSI removable devices	Recommended. If implemented, support based on SCSI Block Commands (SBC) or later or Reduced Block Commands (RBC), INCITS.

B10.1.4.4 See B1.4.1

B10.1.4.5 Device driver for partitioned media supports all Windows partition types

Device drivers that support partitioned media must support all Windows partition types, which include but are not limited to FAT 16, FAT 32, and NTFS.

B10.1.4.6 ATAPI Controller, hard drive, and CD/DVD devices support bus mastering and UDMA/DMA

Bus master capabilities must meet the related specification for the particular controller. For example, the programming register set for PCI IDE bus master DMA is defined in the AT Attachment with Packet Interface – 5 (ATA/ATAPI-5), standard (or later). Bus master support is required of optical devices in order to adequately support video playing for DVD and CD-ROM devices.

Bus master capabilities must meet the related specification for the particular controller. The host controller must not use the ISA or LPC bus.

Note: This requirement does not apply to legacy FDCs and will not become a requirement for the FDC in the future.

All ATA controllers and ATA peripherals must support Ultra DMA as defined in ATA/ATAPI-5 (or later). In addition to improved transfer rates, Ultra DMA also provides error checking for improved robustness over previous ATA implementations. ATA controllers incorporated into PCI chipsets must implement DMA.

Required support for ATA Bus Master DMA:

Required for ATA controllers.
Required for ATA devices, and ATAPI-based hard drives.
Recommended for ATAPI peripherals and removable media drives other than hard drives, including CD and DVD devices.

In particular, non-hard disk ATAPI devices (CD, DVD, ZIP, Orb, and magneto-optical devices, and so on) are not required to support Ultra DMA transfers. However, they often share the bus with other devices. Therefore, non-hard disk ATAPI devices must support ATAPI-5 (or later) bus termination schemes such that a device sharing the bus can achieve the bus timing necessary to perform Ultra DMA transfers.

B10.1.4.6.1 Programmed I/O (PIO) support is allowed instead of DMA bus mastering for Compact Flash format storage and similar flash-RAM devices.

All other storage and optical devices must support DMA bus mastering.

(Note that USB controls DMA on the host side).

B10.1.4.7 Devices, controllers, and drivers support upgrading the operating system and converting to any Windows-supported file system

FAT16 > FAT32 upgrade; FAT32 > NTFS conversion.
Removable media also can be converted to NTFS.

B10.1.4.8 USB mass storage requirements

All USB storage devices must meet the requirements of the Universal Serial Bus Mass Storage Class Specification Overview, V1.0 Revision. This includes all USB Mass Storage class documents, including Bulk Only, Control/Bulk/Interrupt, Bootability, and UFI Command specifications.

USB-based mass storage devices cannot be the primary method of normal system booting. They are expected to be a replacement for booting to load an operating system on the primary boot drive, or as a replacement for legacy floppy drives.

B10.2.4.4 ATA controllers and devices support Ultra DMA, do not claim 3F7h and 377h

The programming register set for PCI Integrated Device Electronics (IDE) bus master DMA is defined in ATA/ATAPI-5 (or later). ATA drives must comply with ATA-5 to ensure fully featured hardware and Windows-compatible device driver support.

All controllers and ATA hard drive peripherals must support Ultra DMA at transfer rates of 33 MB per second or higher as defined in ATA/ATAPI-5 (or later). In addition to improved transfer rates, Ultra DMA also provides error checking for improved robustness over previous ATA implementations. ATA controllers incorporated into PCI chip sets must implement DMA.

Definitions for the ACPI control methods can be found in Section 10.8 of ACPI 1.0b.

See A3.4.5.

B10.2.4.5 Dual ATA adapters use single FIFO with asynchronous access or dual FIFOs and channels; ATA disk drive supports

If implemented, dual ATA adapters use single FIFO with asynchronous access or dual FIFOs and channels

Although the use of an ATA adapter with more than one channel is optional, if included, dual ATA adapters must be designed so that either channel might be used at any time; the operating system does not have to serialize access between the primary and secondary channel. This requirement means either that the two channels are totally independent or that anything shared. For example, a programmed I/O (PIO) read prefetch buffer is protected by a hardware arbitrator.

Section 5.0 of the BIOS Boot Specification, Version 1.01 defines an implementation for dual asynchronous channels.

A design implementing a single first in/first out (FIFO) that uses a hardware solution to synchronize access to both channels meets this requirement. A request on one channel need not be completed before another request to the other channel can start. A software-based solution is not acceptable.

See A1.1.4.11.

ATA-based systems must be tested with ATA DMA enabled; the system must not have an embedded single-FIFO dual-channel ATA controller.

*EFI Note: Section 5.0 of the CIP BIOS Boot 1.01 defines the implementation for dual asynchronous channels. Note that this particular issue is also relevant for EFI systems, and designers of these systems will also use this specification for clarification of this particular implementation issue even though the rest of this specification is superseded by EFI.

Dual-channel controllers that require special software to serialize channel I/O for a single prefetch FIFO do not meet these requirements. Such designs require serial access to one of four devices, defeating the primary advantage of asynchronous dual-channel controllers. Furthermore, such devices are non-standard and require custom driver support.

B10.2.4.6 Controller and peripheral connections include Pin 1 cable designation with keyed and shrouded connectors

One edge of the keyed ribbon cable and the keyed connector of the ATA or ATAPI controller and peripheral device must indicate the Pin 1 cable orientation. Designation of the keyed connector must be clearly indicated on or near the connector.

B10.2.4.7 Controllers and peripherals comply with ATA/ATAPI-5 (or later)

All ATA/ATAPI controllers must meet the hardware and software design requirements listed in the AT Attachment with Packet Interface – 5 (ATA/ATAPI-5) standard (or later).

The ATA/ATAPI-5 (or later) standard defines hardware and software design requirements for ATAPI devices. ATA drives must comply with ATA-5, which defines the programming register set for PCI ATA bus master DMA, to ensure fully featured hardware and Windows-compatible device driver support.

B10.2.4.8 ATAPI devices support DEVICE RESET command

ATAPI devices must respond to the DEVICE RESET command as defined in the ATA/ATAPI-5 standard (or later), regardless of their internal state. The controller can be reset when the computer is turned on (requests cleared, signature present), but any nondefault mode values must be left in their current state with the device driver (DRV) bit unchanged.

Devices such as hard disk drives that do not implement the PACKET command feature set must not implement the DEVICE RESET command.

B10.2.4.9 ATA device supports ATA STANDBY command

ATA drives must implement the ATA STANDBY command, as defined in the ATA/ATAPI-5 standard (or later). Information on system power states and transitions can be found in Storage Device Class Power Management Reference Specification, Version 1.0.

B10.2.4.10 To tolerate Ultra DMA, ATAPI devices support the termination scheme defined in ATA/ATAPI-5 (or later)

See B10.2.4.4; B10.1.4.6

Note: Most SCSI controllers submitted as reference motherboard implementations can be submitted on a plug-in adapter card. However, if the reference motherboard implementation must be submitted on a motherboard, two different motherboard implementations are required for Windows Logo qualification.

B10.3.1 SCSI Controllers/Devices - Windows Compatibility

B10.3.1.1 SCSI Configured Automatically (SCAM) support is disabled by default

If support is present, it must be disabled by default. SCSI Configured AutoMagically (SCAM) is not supported by the Windows family of operating systems; enabling SCAM can cause the system to become unstable or inoperable.

B10.3.4.1 DELETED

B10.3.4.2 DELETED

B10.3.4.3 Large partition support (>8 GB) and ability to boot from loader is supported

B10.3.4.4 Adapter is capable of sharing IRQ and works behind a PCI-PCI bridge

System designers must make a best effort to provide access to non-shared interrupt lines by meeting these conditions:

The system design enables all PCI slots and PCI device types to obtain exclusive use of an interrupt line when exclusive access increases performance.
Dedicated PCI interrupts must not use vectors from ISA bus interrupts.

The high-end and low-end commodity server platforms present certain design challenges. For high-end servers, PCI 2.2 taken by itself imposes a limitation for Intel Architecture-based systems because the values written to the Interrupt Line register in configuration space must correspond to IRQ numbers 0-15 of the standard dual 8259 configuration, or to the value 255 which means “unknown” or “no connection.” The values between 15 and 255 are reserved. This fixed connection legacy dual 8259 configuration, if examined alone, constrains Intel Architecture-based systems, even when they use sophisticated interrupt-routing hardware and APIC support. For low-end servers, some core logic offerings provide little or no interrupt-routing support, and designers implement rotating access to interrupt resources using simple wire-OR techniques, such as those illustrated in the implementation note in Section 2.2.6 of PCI 2.2.

Windows, with its support for both MPS 1.4 and ACPI on 32-bit platforms and ACPI on Itanium systems, uses mechanisms beyond the legacy methods of routing all PCI interrupts through the legacy cascaded 8259 interrupt controllers to determine proper allocation and routing of PCI bus IRQs. This Windows capability allows use of interrupts beyond the 0-15 range permitted by the strict reading of the current PCI 2.2 specification language for Intel Architecture systems. System designers should include sufficient interrupt resources in their systems to provide at least one dedicated interrupt per PCI function for embedded devices and one interrupt per PCI INTA# - INTD# line on a PCI slot. This will become a requirement for all servers in a future version of this guideline.

When system designers cannot provide a non-shared interrupt line to a particular PCI device or slot because of the situations cited, the server system’s documentation must explain clearly to the end user of the system how interrupt resources are allocated on the platform and which devices cannot avoid sharing interrupts. System designers may provide this documentation or information as they deem most appropriate for their product. Some possible mechanisms include:

Documenting slots according to the order in which cards should be inserted to prevent interrupt sharing for as long as possible
Providing information on interrupt routing and sharing via system setup programs

Some instances need additional clarification to fit within the context of this guideline. At the system designer’s discretion, PCI devices can share an interrupt line under the following conditions:

One system interrupt line can be shared by all PCI devices on an expansion card. In other words, PCI INTA# - INTD# may share the use of a single system interrupt directed to a given PCI expansion slot. This instance of line sharing applies to both expansion card designs based on PCI multifunction devices and to expansion card designs using PCI-to-PCI bridges.
Devices can share an interrupt in a design where a system-board set has multiple instances of a given PCI device performing a specific function.

For example, two embedded PCI SCSI controllers on a system board can share a single system interrupt line. A single line can be shared when the functions of the devices are very similar, such as a case where one embedded SCSI controller may be dedicated to “narrow” (8-bit wide) SCSI devices and the other is dedicated to “wide” (16-bit wide) SCSI devices.

On the other hand, an embedded SCSI controller may not share an interrupt with an embedded network adapter on a system board, because they perform two different functions within the system and could contend for the shared interrupt in ways that will reduce overall system performance.

B10.3.4.5 Connector and terminator requirements

B10.3.4.5.1 DELETED

B10.3.4.5.2 Differential devices support DIFFSENS as defined in SPI-4 standard (or later).

Differential devices support DIFFSENS as defined in SPI-4 standard (or later).

Without DIFFSENS, the differential bus drivers or a single-ended device will suffer fatal thermal damage if a single-ended device is put on a differential bus.

The specification for DIFFSENS is defined in Section 5.4.2 of the SPI-4 standard.

B10.3.4.5.3 Automatic termination circuit and SCSI terminators meet SPI-4 standard (or later).

Parallel SCSI add-on adapters and on-board controllers must use automatic termination that allows a user to add external devices without removing the server case. Terminators used in the SCSI host adapter must be regulated terminators, which are also known as active, SCSI-3 SPI-4, or Boulay terminators. SCSI termination built onto internal cables must meet the SCSI-3 specification.

B10.3.4.5.4 Terminator power is supplied to the SCSI bus with overcurrent protection.

The host adapter must supply terminator power (TERMPWR) to the SCSI bus for system-board implementations using PCI or another expansion bus. All terminators on the external SCSI bus must be powered from the TERMPWR lines in the SCSI bus.

In addition, the circuit that supplies TERMPWR must have overcurrent protection built into it.

Mobile PC Note
This feature is not required for battery-powered systems that implement the SCSI host adapter as a PC Card device because of battery consumption issues.

B10.3.4.5.5 External connector meets SCSI- 3 or later standard.

If an external connector is implemented, it must meet the requirements defined in SCSI-3 or a later specification.

B10.3.4.5.6 Controller and peripheral connections include Pin 1 cable designation; shielded device connector meets SCSI-3 or later standard.

For internal and external configurations, the SCSI bus cable must be plugged into shrouded and keyed connectors on the host adapter and devices. This ensures that the cable is properly positioned so the user cannot plug in cables incorrectly. For internal configurations, pin 1 orientation must be designated on one edge of the ribbon cable and also on the keyed connector for the SCSI peripheral device.

For an external configuration, the SCSI connector must not use the same connector type as any other non-SCSI connector on the system.

B10.3.4.5.7 External devices use automatic termination or an accessible on-board termination switch.

An external SCSI peripheral device must provide automatic termination. At a minimum, a mechanical means must be provided for setting termination and the switch must be accessible to the user without opening the device chassis.

Note: Requirement only applies to removable disks, hard drives, CD/DVD optical drives.

B10.3.4.5.8 SCSI devices that support hot-plugging comply with Annex D of SPI-4 (or later).

Annex D of SPI-4 addresses SCSI device insertion and removal, with and without command activity.

B10.3.4.6 DELETED

B10.3.4.7 Hardware supports the SCSI-3 START STOP UNIT command to decrease power consumption

The hardware in SCSI peripherals must be able to fully recover from a software-initiated spin down without rebooting the system or cycling power. To properly support power management on SCSI drives and to ensure that the operating system responds to appropriate driver calls, be sure to correctly implement the STOP/START UNIT command.

Requirement only applies to removable disks, hard drives, CD/DVD optical drives.

B10.3.4.8 Option ROM supports virtual DMA services

A PCI-based SCSI host controller must support PCI bus mastering. PCI bus mastering must be enabled by default and virtual direct access memory (DMA) services must be supported in the host-adapter option ROM.

B10.3.4.9 SCSI erasable drive supports SCSI commands

The following commands or features must be supported by the device’s driver:

Erase (2C): full side and selected block erase
Format requirements reported with Format command
Mode Sense: total spare blocks available, write protect status
Prevent/Allow Medium Removal, Start/Stop Unit
Read (28), Verify (2F)
Reassign Blocks, Read Defect Data
Seek (SCSI CDB Opcode – 2B)
Test Unit Ready, Request Sense, Read Capacity, Inquiry
Write (2A), Write and Verify (2E)
Write without pre-erase, for erasable optical only

B10.3.4.10 SCSI controller provides multi-initiator support if the controller provides external device connection capability for use as a cluster node

Multi-initiator support allows two SCSI controllers—each installed in a separate computer system—to coexist on a shared SCSI bus with a set of shared devices.

For use in a system intended as a node in a cluster using shared SCSI, the SCSI IDs must be changeable from the default SCSI controller ID of 7, and the boot-time SCSI bus reset operation must be able to be disabled on each controller attached to a shared bus.

This requirement does not apply to end-user recorded CD data discs, or discs being read in error-correcting, defect management mode.

See B10.5.4.3.1

Note: This requirement does not apply to USB 1.0 connected devices. Microsoft acknowledges that CD-ROM devices that otherwise meet the Windows Logo Program requirements for 8x or better transfer rate will likely achieve only about 6x transfer speed when the device is connected over USB, because of the transfer speed limitations of USB 1.x. Such configurations will be eligible for the Windows Logo.

B10.5.4.2.2 CD-enhanced compatible.

The CD or DVD drive must be able to mount multisession CD-ROM discs, even if track 1 is Red Book audio. CD-Enhanced support must be Blue Book compliant, as defined in CD EXTRA (Enhanced Music CD) Specification, Version 1.0.

B10.5.4.2.3 Supports specified logical and physical CD formats.

At a minimum, the CD or DVD drive must be compatible with the following formats for cross-media compatibility, based on compliance with the MultiRead Specifications for CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-R/RW, & DVD-ROM Devices, Revision 1.11:

Logical formats: CD Red Book (CD-Audio), Yellow Book (CD-ROM), Orange Book parts II and III (packet writing if recordable), White Book, Blue Book, and Universal Disk Format (UDF) versions 1.5 and 2.0
Physical formats: ROM (stamped), and Orange Book part II (CD-R) and part III (CD-RW)

Note: Any ATAPI CD or DVD drive designed to play back CD-I content must return a minimum of two track entries for the READ_TOC (0x43) command. These two track entries must be a track 01 entry and a track 0xAA entry for the lead-out address. Drives that do not comply with this minimum requirement cannot play back CD-I movies.

Both multisession forms (01b and 10b) and the compatibility form (00b) of the READ_TOC command must be implemented. This provides complete support for CD-ROM multisession capabilities.

B10.5.4.2.4 Supports the READ CD-DA command as defined in the MMC-2 standard.

See B10.5.2.1; B10.5.4.2.5

B10.5.4.2.5 Supports digital audio detection and digital audio quality on CD-ROM drive

CD and DVD drives must implement "CD Capabilities and Mechanical Status Page" (2Ah), as defined in the MMC-2 standard. The bit "CD-DA Commands Supported" must be set and the functionality must be implemented.

CD and DVD drives must also implement and set the bit "CD-DA Stream is Accurate" of "CD Capabilities and Mechanical Status Page." The READ_CD command and READ_RAW commands must provide sector-accurate reads, as defined in MMC-2. Data alignment accuracy must be equivalent to that of data reads. Because of the lack of error correction code (ECC) bytes used for data tracks, the data itself may contain inaccuracies due to physical defects of the media.

A CD-R/RW drive must support the following commands, as defined in SFF-8090 and MMC-2:

Get Configuration

Get Event/Status Notification
    Operational Change Request/Notification
    External Request
    Media Request

B10.5.4.3 DVD storage device requirements

B10.5.4.3.1 DVD device provides 2 MB per second minimum transfer rate or better performance anywhere on the disc.

The minimum sustained DVD device media transfer rate must be at least 2 MB per second for read operations from the DVD disc.

This requirement sets the minimum speed needed for DVD-Video playback during MPEG-2 decoding on Windows platforms. This requirement applies to the minimum read speed (2 MB per second) on any production level DVD-Video media, at any location on the disc. This minimum rate requirement does not apply to DVD data discs that the user records, or discs being read in error-correcting, defect management mode. OEMs must continue to ship DVD drives that produce an acceptable user experience and conform to the required specifications.

B10.5.4.3.2 DVD drive supports logical and physical CD formats, MMC-2, and defect management where applicable.

DVD drives must support defect management that is transparent to the operating system, according to industry standards. Defect management for DVD-RAM media is defined in DVD Specifications for Rewritable Disc, Part 1: Physical Specifications, published by Toshiba Corporation. Defect management for DVD+RW is defined in ECMA-274.

DVD drives must support all the functionality of CD drives as outlined in this document. The DVD drive must also be compatible with the following formats to ensure that the DVD drive can read earlier media:

Physical formats: ROM (stamped), Orange Book part II (CD-R) and part III (CD-RW), and ECMA-267 and ECMA-268 (DVD-ROM).
Conforming to OSTA MultiRead Specification, Version 1.11, indicates compliance with all of these CD compatibility requirements.

For a backup device designed for Windows Server 2003, the manufacturer must provide a Windows driver that integrates with Removable Storage Manager (RSM), formerly Windows NT Media Services. This ensures that applications which are RSM-aware (such as the native Windows backup and hierarchical storage management applications) will be properly able to utilize the backup device.

RSM is intended to allow software that accesses backup devices to be independent of the specific device. A hardware vendor can also choose to include a backup application. However, such software should also be integrated with and use the RSM infrastructure.
