Summary: One more time, read and follow the instructions.

One more time, just for the record and with the appropriate quotes from
the SuperMac/DataFrame manual.

Seems pretty clear to me.  The manufacturer fully intends that the drive
should be turned off between the time the shutdown completes (indicated by
the beep) and before rebooting starts again (indicated by the smiling
mac reappearing.)  If you miss the window, you try it all over again.
The reasons for this are varied, but it certainly is the best way to
treat the DataFrame 20 and other SCSI drives.
