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 DE300 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.
