Our late lamented D02 was powered down most of the time, but kept
plugged in. It wasn't kept on a UPS, and the internal UPS was long gone
(and physically removed). On two separate occasions, both shortly after
a power failure had occurred after a prolonged period without a
power-up, it went into system password bypass. We found that we could
extend the bypass period by keeping the system powered down as much as
possible.
We have 3 boxes that only get occasional use, and all of them are on a
weekly exercise cycle, both to keep the drives limber, and to keep them
from going into system password bypass.
