Can a Kaleidescape Server be powered off when not in use?

Kaleidescape recommends leaving a server turned on for the following reasons:

1. This allows for immediate access to the library of content stored on the server, without waiting for it to start up.

2. Kaleidescape can only proactively notify the dealer when a disk cartridge has failed or other maintenance is required if the server is powered on.

3. The server will receive software and Movie and Music Guide updates more quickly if it remains powered on.

4. Frequent power cycling may stress the hard disk drives.

In some circumstances, such as when a vacation property sits vacant for months at a time, the owner of a Kaleidescape System may consider these factors and still decide to turn the server off while the home is unoccupied.
