https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/apm-acpi-or-bios-power-mgmt/m-p/2661941#M79668 Hi<BR />after having installed 4 x 73GB SCSI hds, Linux RH 7.2, on a lc2000 NEtserver, I went into both the BIOS setup and the SCSI setup looking for a way to set the idle time for sleeping these disks, as they can remain unaccessed for hours.<BR /><BR />But with much disapponitment I found that this in only manageable by the guest OS, via the ACPI interface.<BR /><BR />Now I wonder if this is alaso compatible with the standard APM interface, the same as laptops, or if there is any way I can set the idle time for the disks. ACPI in linux seems quite alpha, and the ready-made kernel has no support for APM.<BR /><BR />I need to set a rest for those disks, otherwise I afraid they'll burn quick, preferably at the BIOS level, what can I do?<BR /><BR />Thanks for any help<BR /> Sun, 10 Feb 2002 10:04:15 GMT Giancarlo Pinerolo 2002-02-10T10:04:15Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-linux/apm-acpi-or-bios-power-mgmt/m-p/2661941#M79668 Hi<BR />after having installed 4 x 73GB SCSI hds, Linux RH 7.2, on a lc2000 NEtserver, I went into both the BIOS setup and the SCSI setup looking for a way to set the idle time for sleeping these disks, as they can remain unaccessed for hours.<BR /><BR />But with much disapponitment I found that this in only manageable by the guest OS, via the ACPI interface.<BR /><BR />Now I wonder if this is alaso compatible with the standard APM interface, the same as laptops, or if there is any way I can set the idle time for the disks.
