Disconnecting Your Drobo
If you need to disconnect Drobo from your Mac or disconnect the power from
your Drobo, always properly put Drobo into Standby Mode by safely ejecting your
Drobo first. You can do this by dragging the Drobo icon from your desktop to the
Trash, using the Mac OS Safe Eject Utility, or clicking on the Standby button
located on the Tools Tab of the Advanced Controls Panel.
Warning:
Failure to properly eject Drobo from your Mac can cause loss of data.
This standby operation should take only a few seconds. Once Drobo is in
Standby Mode, all lights will turn off except for the power indicator, which will turn
orange. Only then can you safely disconnect Drobo from your Mac or disconnect
the power from your Drobo.
Warning:
Always properly put Drobo into Standby Mode before disconnecting it
from its power source or your Mac. When the power light turns orange, it is safe
to remove the power from Drobo or disconnect it from your Mac.
