HDD Hibernation
You can manage HDD hibernation for all internal or external disks on your DiskStation.
When a disk enters HDD hibernation mode, it will stop spinning and become inactive, which not only saves
energy but also extends the disk's lifespan.
To manage HDD hibernation:
1 Choose any of the following from the Time drop-down menus:
 A time period: Set the internal hard drive, external eSATA or USB disk to HDD hibernation mode after the
specified period of inactivity.
 None: Disable HDD hibernation.
2 Click OK.
Power Recovery
You can set the following power recovery functions:
 Boot up DiskStation automatically after power has been restored if the DiskStation was shut down abnormally
due to a power failure.
 Enable Wake on LAN to allow remote startup.
