Continuous 24-hour operation is not guaranteed even if the motor is stopped. Setting the Hard Disk Motor to Stop To stop the hard disk motor, set the HDD Power Down Timer setting and Windows Update setting. Under the following conditions, even if you set the hard disk motor to stop, the motor will not stop. ❏ If due to the application's operations the hard disk does not change to standby mode (i.e. become idle). ❏ When the HDD Power Down Timer is set to 1 hour or more, since Windows will periodically access the hard disk to synchronize the timer, the hard disk motor will not stop. Setting the HDD Power Down Timer When this timer is set, access to the hard disk is monitored, and when there is no access during the set period of time, the hard disk motor is stopped. Immediately after setup (p.35) / recovery (p.53), this is set to [None] and the motor is set to keep running, thus the following needs to be set. 1 Select [Start] - [Control Panel] 2 Start Power Options and select the [Power Schemes] tab. 7 177

To Customers who Plan to Keep the Product in
Operation 24 Hours a Day
We do not recommend keeping the product in operation 24 hours a day since it will reduce the life of
the product. In particular, this usage is outside the specifications of the hard disk. If it is unavoidable to
keep the product in operation 24 hours a day, stop the motor rotation when the product is idle by
following the steps below.
Setting the Hard Disk Motor to Stop
To stop the hard disk motor, set the HDD Power Down Timer setting and Windows Update setting. Under
the following conditions, even if you set the hard disk motor to stop, the motor will not stop.
❏
If due to the application's operations the hard disk does not change to standby mode (i.e. become
idle).
❏
When the HDD Power Down Timer is set to 1 hour or more, since Windows will periodically access the
hard disk to synchronize the timer, the hard disk motor will not stop.
Setting the HDD Power Down Timer
When this timer is set, access to the hard disk is monitored, and when there is no access during the set
period of time, the hard disk motor is stopped.
Immediately after setup (
p.35
) / recovery (
p.53
), this is set to [None] and the motor is set to keep
running, thus the following needs to be set.
1
Select [Start] - [Control Panel]
2
Start Power Options and select the [Power Schemes] tab.
Continuous 24-hour operation is not guaranteed even if the motor is stopped.
