5.11 Drive-side Parameters
1. Disk Access Delay Time(sec):
This feature sets the delay time before firmware tries to
access the hard drives after power-on. Default is 15 seconds.
2. Drive I/O Timeout(sec):
The Drive I/O Timeout is the time interval for firmware to wait
for a drive to respond. When the drive itself detects a media
error while reading from the drive platter, it usually retries the
previous read or re-calibrates the head. When the drive
encounters a bad block on the media, it reassigns the bad
block onto a spare block. However, it takes time to perform
the above procedure. The time to perform such procedure
can vary between drives of different brands and models.
The default setting for I/O timeout is 7 seconds. It is
recommended to keep the default.
