• Time To Spin Down Idle HDD
This function can automatically spin down the drive if it hasn’t
been accessed for a certain amount of time. This value is used
by the drive to determine how long to wait (with no disk activity,
before turning off the spindle motor to save power). The values
can be selected “Disabled” or within the range 1 to 60 minutes.
• SATA Power Up In Standby
SATA Power Up In Standby (power management 2 mode, PM2)
is a SATA disk drive configuration which prevents the drive from
automatic spinup when power is applied. “Enabled” option allows
the drive to be powered-up into the Standby power manage-
ment state to minimize inrush current at power-up and to allow
the controller to sequence the spinup of devices. It is mainly
for server/workstation environments operating in multiple-drive
configurations.
4.8.4 Ethernet Configuration
Use this feature to set the controller Ethernet port configuration.
A customer doesn’t need to create a reserved space on the arrays
before the Ethernet port and HTTP service are working. The firm-
ware-embedded web browser-based RAID manager can access it
from any standard internet browser or from any host computer
either directly connected or via a LAN or WAN with no software or
patches required. To configure the RAID controller Ethernet port,
move the cursor bar to the main menu and click on the “System
Controls” link. The “System Controls” menu will show all items.
Move the cursor bar to the “Ethernet Configuration” item, and
then select the desired function.
