1. On the Drive Settings screen (see Figure 13 on page 27), click Sleep Timer to display 

the Set Sleep Timer dialog:

2.   In the Turn off Drive box, select the inactivity time interval at which you want to turn 

off the drive.

3.   Click Set Timer to save and implement your sleep timer selection.

Erasing Your Drive

1. On the Drive Settings screen (see Figure 13 on page 27), click Drive Erase to display 

the Erase Drive dialog:
