Does anyone know whether, if I'm not planning to use my xPC Target setup for a few days, I should shut down my Target PC, or can I keep it booted up as the xPC Target?

A few days ago, I returned to working with my Target PC after a few days away from it; the floppy drive randomly started grinding and whirring, and I'm wondering if this might have been caused by my leaving that PC running for the entire time I was away from it.

Since the Target PC doesn't have a screensaver, I do turn off that computer's monitor; however, is it ok to leave this PC booted up and running when I'm away for hours or days at a time, or should I shut it down each time, and only reboot it when I actually need to use it?

Thanks for any input anyone has.

Update: I spoke with a Mathworks engineer, who stated that it *should* be stable to leave the Target PC booted up indefinitely.
