Description
Use this option to control the interval (in seconds) between spinup of drives
connected to this controller. The delay prevents a drain on the system's
power supply that would occur if all drives spun up at the same time.
The default is 12 seconds.
Enable this option if you want the boot process to stop when the controller
BIOS encounters an error during boot-up. The default is Disabled.
Drive Powersave conserves energy by placing certain unused drives into
powersave mode. Use this field to choose whether to allow unconfigured
drives to enter powersave mode.
When this option is selected, unconfigured drives may be spun down.
When not selected, these drives are not spun down. The controller will
automatically spin up drives from powersave mode whenever necessary.
The powersave option is not selected by default. You have to select it to
enable the spin-down of drives.
