Turning off the power switches
Note:
Before turning off the power, be certain to first
quit any application programs and Windows NT
according to the procedures described on the
following page. If the power switch for a hard
disk drive is turned off while the hard disk drive
is being accessed, data on the hard disk drive
could be lost and the hard disk drive itself could
be damaged.

ing off the power for the hard disk unit. The
motor in the hard disk unit may still rotate for up
to 30 seconds after the power is turned off; if the
hard disk unit is moved while the motor is still
rotating, data on the hard disk drive could be
lost and the hard disk drive itself could be dam-
aged.
