Chapter 4: Subsystem Connection and Operation

Locate the Cache_Dirty LED on the back of controller module
to check if there is data cached in the memory. Use the
“Shutdown Controller” function to flush all cached data. This
prepares the RAID subsystem to be safely powered down.

Step 3.

Turn off the power.

Turn off the power. Once the RAID subsystem has been
powered down, other devices connected to the subsystem can
be powered down.
