Power Saving Mode - Seagate NAS OS 4 Manuel D'utilisation

Power conserva on
During periods of inactivity, NAS OS spins down the hard drives. In addition to conserving energy, spinning
down the hard drives when they are not in use can help to extend their life spans.
The default period of inactivity before spinning down the hard drives is 20 minutes. To revise this time, click
on the pull-down menu for Turn off the hard drives.

Power saving mode

Many work environments may not require the NAS to be active all hours of the day or even the entire week.
The administrator can take advantage of anticipated down time by scheduling the NAS to power off and
power on as needed.
While in power saving mode, the NAS suspends all activity, including spinning down the hard drives and
turning off its fans and LEDs. All processes enabled in NAS OS, including downloads and backups, will be
terminated. Since the shares are not accessible and the device cannot be managed via NAS OS, power
saving mode should be used when no one is accessing the NAS's data.
Example 1: The six employees of a small printing company arrive at the office no earlier than 6:00 AM and all
activity stops after 10:00 PM. To save power and extend the life of the NAS's hardware, the administrator
schedules the NAS to power on at 5:00 AM and power off at 11:00 PM.
Example 2: The 50 employees at a branch office require 24-hour access to the NAS Monday through Friday.
However, the branch office manager prefers that employees do not work during the weekend. Therefore,
the administrator decides to schedule the NAS to power on Monday at 6:00 AM and power off Friday at
11:00 PM.
