Adjusting the Spin Down/Up Timer
The timer for device spin down is controlled by a small selector, located in a cutout on the side of the Ultra320 DE100 receiving frame as shown in Figure 11. When the key is turned to the OFF position, and when the timer receives a NO SCSI Activity signal from the Isolator Board, it waits the specified delay time before displaying a u on the front panel of the receiving frame. The amount of time required for a disk drive to spin down is approximately 15 seconds or more. This number can vary depending on the type of SCSI device and manufacturer (e.g. a Seagate Barracuda may require 45 seconds). The factory configuration is set for 20 seconds. A different delay time may be selected with the provided alignment tool. Refer to the SCSI device manufacturers manual for more information on required device spin down time.

Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 19
Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options
Solenoid Drive Lock
The factory-installed solenoid option prevents premature removal of the carrier and drive unit until the target drive has fully spun down. For most disk drives, this period of time can range from 15-40 seconds, depending on the type of drive being used (e.g. Seagate Barracuda drives require up to 45 seconds). Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for specific drive information.
The solenoid lock is controlled by a timing switch located on the side of the receiving frame. Refer to section "Adjusting the Spin Down/Up Timer" (pg. 15), for information describing the readjustment of the timer setting.
The solenoid option provides an extra step in drive protection by preventing the removal and movement of the drive until the drive motor has fully stopped.

20 Appendix C - Attaching the ON/OFF Key
Appendix C - Attaching the ON/OFF Key to Non-Solenoid Units
The following information will provide the necessary steps to attach the ON/OFF key to the key lock mechanism so that it is non-removable, preventing accidental key loss. The procedure can be reversed to revert back to a removable key, if so desired.
1. Make certain power is OFF to the receiving frame.
Locate the rectangular-shaped key lock mecha­nism access hole on the inside of the receiving frame. Note that the pawl is in an upright position.
Insert the key into the key lock.
2. Rotate the key 90 degrees counterclockwise so that the pawl is visible in the access hole as shown in the figure at left.
3. Using the provided alignment tool, unscrew and remove the pawl from the access hole.
4. Rotate the key 180 degrees clockwise.
5. Reinstall the pawl into the access hole with the alignment tool.
The key is now attached to the key lock mecha­nism.
