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 DE300i-SW160 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.
