2. Pins P1 and P2 are connected together; Pins P13, P14 and P15 are connected together. Although they are not
connected internally to the device, the host may apply voltage on these pins.
3. The mating sequence is:
- Ground pins P4-P6, P10, P12 and the 5V power pin P7.
- Signal pins and the rest of the 5V power pins P8-P9.
4. Ground connectors P4 and P12 may contact before the other 1st mate pins in both the power and signal connectors
to discharge ESD in a suitably configured backplane connector.
5. Power pins P7, P8, and P9 are internally connected to one another within the device.
6. The host may ground P11 if it is not used for Device Activity Signal (DAS).
4.3 Device Sleep Feature
Device Sleep (or DevSleep/DEVSLP) is the latest feature aligned with Intel® 4th Generation Core™-based
Ultrabook™. Ultrabook™ has stringent power requirements for SSDs and as such requires an ability to put the drive
in a low power state. Although Link Power Management allows some control over power consumption, both
methods still require the SATA link to remain online. The DevSleep pin is an “Enable” (High) pin which is pulled up
by the drive.

Intel® Solid-State Drive Pro 2500 Series (2.5-inch)
The Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series drive is a Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) that supports the TCG Opal SSC Specification
Version 2.0 rev 1.0 mandatory commands along with the following features:
PSID (Physical presence Security ID) Revert for SSD Repurposing
AES mode: XTS-AES 256-bit
FIPS 197 certified
Once Opal is activated by user (Locking SP in “Manufactured” state), per Opal specification, ATA Security Features
are not supported by the drive. Word 82, bit 1 and Word 128, bit 0 will indicate
no support (bit = 0). Host should not attempt any ATA Security Features when Opal is activated.
The following table indicates changes in ID Device word values when Opal is activated.
Table 18: ID Device Changes with Opal Activation
5.3.3Windows eDrive*
The Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series allows up to 4 independent user locking ranges with hardware-based 256-bit AES
encryption. If additional locking ranges are needed, Windows eDrive* will support additional ranges enabled with
Windows BitLocker* software encryption.
Note: Microsoft* eDrive support is disabled as Out-of-box factory default setting. Use the Intel SSD Pro
Administrator Tool to enable eDrive support. (Visit www.intel.com/ssd to access the Tools panel for download.)
5.4 Device Statistics
In addition to the SMART attribute structure, statistics pertaining to the operation and health of the Intel SSD Pro
2500 Series can be reported to the host on request through the Device Statistics log as defined in the ATA
specification.
The Device Statistics log is a read-only GPL/SMART log located at read log address 0x04 and is accessible using
READ LOG EXT, READ LOG DMA EXT or SMART READ LOG commands.
The following table lists the Device Statistics supported by the Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series.

5.6 DevSleep
Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series supports the DevSleep feature. DevSleep must be enabled on the device by the
host system through the SET FEATURES command. If DevSleep is enabled by the host, the host must drive
the DevSleep signal to proper assert/de-assert voltage levels according to the SATA specification. Entry into
DevSleep must be preceded by LPM slumber entry by host and device. The Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series also
supports DevSleep_to_ReducedPwrState which allows the host to wake the drive using normal LPM COMWAKE
out-of-band signaling.
For the Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series, the recommended total time to DevSleep for system active state is 6 sec.
The AHCI* controller has 4 parameters used to define proper DevSleep operation between the host and drive.
The following table provides those recommended values for the Intel SSD Pro 2500 Series drive.

Total time to DevSleep entry = DITO * (DM+1)
5.7 SMART Command Transport
With SMART Command Transport (SCT), a host can send commands and data to an SSD and receive status and
data from an SSD using standard write/read commands to manipulate two SMART Logs:
Log Address E0h ("SCT Command/Status") — used to send commands and retrieve status
Log Address E1h ("SCT Data Transfer") — used to transport data
