Modifying the Disk Drive Spin Down Time
When the disk drives spin down, it helps to save electricity and can prolong the life of the drives.
However, it will take your Drobo device a few moments to spin the drives back up again when
accessed. The default setting for this feature is 15 minutes on the Drobo 5N2.
Notes:
You need to be logged in as the administrator to change these settings.
When drives spin down, the lights on the Drobo device dim. When the drives spin back up
again, the lights fully illuminate.
To modify the disk drive spin down time:
1.
In Drobo Dashboard on the
All Drobos
page, select the appropriate Drobo device.
2.
Click the
Drobo Settings
option on the
Navigation
menu, and click
General.
The
General
Settings
page opens.
3.
Click and drag to slide the pointer for the
Disk Drive Spin Down
to the interval of time you
want.
4.
Click the
OK
button. The setting is changed.
