StorEdge A5000 disk drives are not available when in the power-save mode.


When an Enclosure Services card in a SPARCstorage Array is addressed, the RSM tray is powered off.

When a disk drive in a StorEdge A5000 is addressed, the drive is set to the drive off/unmated state. When it is set to the drive off/unmated state, the drive is spun down (stopped) and put in the bypass mode.
