/SPINDOWN Use this power management feature to automatically spindown a disk when the disk
is not accessed for a specified amount of time. The default spindown time is
15 minutes. You can specify a new spindown time in hours and minutes (hh:mm) with
a minimum time of 1 minute.
To use this option, the line in the CONFIG.SYS file that loads SYMDISK.SYS should look
like this (all on one line):
DEVICE=C:[PATH]SYMDISK.SYS /SPINDOWN=hh:mm
[,hh:mm]
For example, to spindown a device on path 0 , id 2 , and lun 0 , after one hour and
five minutes of inactivity, the command line should look like this:
DEVICE=C:[PATH]SYMDISK.SYS /SPINDOWN=1:5<0:2:0>
To spindown all devices after the default time-out of 15 minutes, the command line
should look like this:
DEVICE=C:[PATH]SYMDISK.SYS /SPINDOWN=<>
The <> are required when you specify a path:id:lun in this option.
