Deleting hard disks from the system
The external hard disk must be disconnected before it can be de-
leted, depending on the operating system. Read how this works in
the help files of your operating system.
1.
Disconnect the hard disk from the operating system.
2.
Now unplug from main power and disconnect all the connec-
tion cables from the external hard disk.
Caution!
The hard disk must not be deleted or turned off while it is
being accessed. This can lead to data loss.
You can see that data is being transmitted when the
LED
display flashes blue
. When the LED display is
constantly
blue
, no data is being transmitted. However, you should
make sure that all files that you have opened from the
hard disk (documents, etc.) have been closed again be-
fore you delete or turn off the hard disk.
