Hello guys,

Just that quick question. I need to restart the PC-3000 machine, and I have a drive which I don't want to switch off. How to restart Windows, avoiding voltage drops on PC-3000 board?

Cheers

Basically you can't on a direct way, because pc3k power is supplied from the PSU.

Sadly, I'm not sure that on a regular reset current is actually cut off of the PSU... but PC-3000 powers off the drives.

Thanks

Hi
I don't have UDMA but, as far as I know, you have a setting in options menu to not power off drives on program close....PCI have it so I thinK UDMA should have it too...

Yes, I know about do not powering the drives on program close, it's about a Windows restart... but as I checked, it powers them off.

Next time you could prepare an external source power supply and control it manually though i'm not sure if the drive you are working with will remain correctly powered during a reboot when it is logically disconnected. That would depend on the drive model.

You can try connecting your pc3k power to an external PSU and try to restart to check what happens.

There is no way to do it unless you use an external power source. I know that you can restart PC3000 without cutting of power by closing PC3000 force-closing the task from task manager. It will keep drives powered on.

There's no need to do that - there's an option you can check 'Keep drives powered on on exit', or similar.
