Thunderbolt technology devices are plug and play, allowing
you to connect and disconnect them while the host computer is
running. In some cases, disconnect the volume without properly
unmounting the volume results in data corruption. To prevent the
potential data corruption problems, it is important to properly
eject the Thunderbolt storage volume(s).
1. Drag RAID storage volume(s) icon to the trash. The Trash will
turn into an Eject arrow. This will assure that all data is properly
cleared from the system memory before the volume is removed.
2. When the volume icon disappears from the desktop, RAID
storage can be disconnected from the computer or you can press
and hold "Reset" button 3 seconds to save energy. The RAID stor-
age will maintain the daisy chain with other Thunderbolt devices
even when the RAID storages have been powered down.
