Adjusting the 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 DE75 receiving frame as shown in Figure 10. The amount of time

required for a drive to spin down is approximately 15 seconds or more. This number

can vary depending on the type of SCSI device and manufacturer (some drives may

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

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

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

down time.
