The front of the rail is released from the cabinet.

2. Rear:

 Gently lift the rear rail lock with one hand and with the other hand

push the rail away from you. Alternatively, from the rear of the cabinet, lift

the rail lock and pull the rail toward you.

The rail has been successfully removed from the cabinet.

Startup and shutdown (GS models)

Start

: Turn on all JBOD unit(s) before turning on the head unit.

Caution: 

The RAID does not properly initialize if the JBOD unit(s) are not

started first. If this happens, restart the head unit.

Stop

: Turn off the head unit using a clean operating system shutdown 

before

 the

JBOD unit(s). Always wait for the head unit to power off before turning off the

JBOD unit(s).

Caution: 

Shutting down a JBOD unit with the head unit powered on leaves

the RAID array in a confused state. If this happens, 1) turn off the head unit,

2) turn on JBOD unit(s), and 3) restart head unit.
