Summary: You're better off following instructions.

As SuperMac states in the DataFrame manual you want to turn the mac
and the DataFrame off before the mac starts rebooting and after 
selecting shutdown.  If you don't it's going to assume the mac crashed
the next time you boot and go through a time consuming procedure
to rebuild the allocation tables and such.  What this means is that
the correct procedure for shutting down your mac and hard disk is:

	User:  Reaches for power switch
	User:  Selects shutdown from menu
	Mac:   Goes "BEEP"
	User:  Turns of Hard Disk
	Mac:   Shows Disk ICON and starts trying to reboot
	User:  Turns off mac

It really does work and it really does make booting the next time
much quicker.
