Spin Down/Up Time

Figure 11: Device Spin Down/Up Timer

NOTE:

The timer for device spin down is controlled by a small selector, located in a cutout

on the side of the DE100 receiving frame as shown in Figure 11. When the key

is turned to the OFF position, and when the timer receives a No SCSI Activity signal

from the Hot Swap Board, it waits the specified delay time before displaying a “u”

on the front panel of the receiving frame. The amount of time required for a disk

drive to spin down is approximately 15 seconds or more. This number can vary

depending on the type of SCSI device and manufacturer (e.g. a Seagate Barracuda

may require 45 seconds). The factory configuration is set for 20 seconds. A

different delay time may be selected with the provided aligment tool. Refer to the

SCSI device manufacturer’s manual for more information on required device spin

down time.
