General performance characteristics  
4.3
Start/stop time 
If the Motor Start option is disabled, the drive becomes ready within 20 seconds after DC power is applied. If a 
recoverable error condition is detected during the start sequence, the drive executes a recovery procedure and 
the time to become ready may exceed 20 seconds. During spin up to ready time, the drive responds to some 
commands over the FC interface in less than 3 seconds after application of power. Stop time is 30 seconds 
(maximum) from removal of DC power.
If the Motor Start option is enabled, the internal controller accepts the commands listed in the Fibre Channel 
Interface Manual
 less than 3 seconds after DC power has been applied. After the Motor Start command has 
been received, the drive becomes ready for normal operations within 20 seconds (excluding the error recovery 
procedure). The Motor Start command can also be used to command the drive to stop the spindle.
There is no power control switch on the drive.
4.4
Prefetch/multi-segmented cache control
The drive provides a prefetch (read look-ahead) and multi-segmented cache control algorithms that in many 
cases can enhance system performance. Cache refers to the drive buffer storage space when it is used in 
cache operations. To select this feature, the host sends the Mode Select command with the proper values in
