Hi,
In about three hours time, I'll be installing a new ST39173W 9.1GB wide
disk in our Alpha running Digital Unix 4.0D (brand new patch kit #2
applied), using an IntraServer ITI3140 controller.
What I have in mind, is to set the "enable motor start" jumper on the
drive in order to delay the disk spin-up until the machine is booting. As
this is already the third drive in the box, this would cause the startup
load on the power-supply to be not so high.
So my question: Does Digital Unix send a "spin-up" SCSI command to every
disk device while booting? If no how can this be turned on?
Thanks a lot // Tom
