Using the /SPINDOWN= Option
This is a power management feature that can automatically spin down 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 CONFIG.SYS that
loads SYMDISK.SYS should look like this:
DEVICE=C:[PATH]SYMDISK.SYS
/SPINDOWN=hh:mm<path[:id[:lun]]>
[,hh:mm<path[:id[:lun]]>]
For example, if you wish 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>
Or, if you wish 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=<>
Remember, the <> are required when you specify a path:id:lun in this option.
