ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition User Manual
Optimizing Performance 5-3
v1.1, February 2009
Power Management
The ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition offers disk spin-down, power timer (time off/time on),
UPS event, and wake-on-LAN power management options to reduce system power consumption,
both while the system is in use and when it is not in use.
Disk Spin-Down Option
You can elect to spin down your ReadyNAS disks after a specified time of inactivity. The disks
will spin up as needed. To enable spin-down mode, select the Enable disk spin-down after...
check box, and specify the minutes of inactivity before spin up.
Figure 5-3
Note: Enabling disk spin-down disables journal mode. Once enabled, if you decide to
disable disk spin-down, you need to manually re-enable journal mode if desired.
NETGEAR recommends UPS if you utilize this option.
