This is the recommended method for safely shutting down your Drobo device.
Note:
You need to be logged in to perform this action.
To safely shut down you Drobo 5N2:
1.
Check that the activity light on your Drobo device is off, indicating that no data is actively being
transferred to or from your Drobo device. Refer to the image below.
Note:
If data is actively being transferred, the activity light will be blinking green.

Also check to ensure the drive bay action indicator lights are not blinking alternately between

until these lights are a solid green.
