Solenoid Drive Lock

The factory installed solenoid option prevents premature removal of the carrier and drive unit until the target drive has fully spun down. For disk drives, this period of time can range from 15-40 seconds, depending on the type of drive being used (e.g. Barracuda drives require up to 50 seconds). Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for specific drive information.

The solenoid lock is controlled by a timing switch located on the side of the receiving frame.

The solenoid option provides an extra step in drive protection by preventing the removal and movement of the drive until the drive motor has fully stopped.
