4.12.3 Change the Staggered Spinup Count
Depending on a system’s power supply load-rating, the end-user might want to limit the number
of disks that are spun-up together when a system is powered on.
For example, if a system has six disks and the staggered spinup count is set to 2, RAIDXpert2
sends a command to spin-up disks 1 and 2 together, then disks 3 and 4, and finally disks 5 and 6.
1. At the Main Menu, use the arrow keys to highlight Controller Options, then press Enter.
2. Use the arrow keys to highlight Set Staggered Spinup Count, then press Enter. The
number within the brackets changes color to indicate it is selected.
3. Use the arrow keys to change the number within the brackets. The minimum is 1 and the
maximum is 8.
4. Press Enter to save the setting, or press ESC to return to the Main Menu.
