LED Indicators
The docking station offers a power LED indicator (blue) and an activity LED indicator
(red) for each drive. When the drive is powered on, the Blue LED Power indicator
will illuminate. While the hard drive is being accessed, the Red LED will flash. Do not
remove your drive from the docking station while the Red LED is flashing, as it could
damage to your drive, resulting in data loss.
Disconnecting the Hard Drive
Windows
1. Select the “Safely remove Hardware and Eject Media” icon, located in the task bar.
2. Select the storage device from the list that appears.
3. Wait for the message indicating that it is now safe to remove the device.
Note:
Removing the connected drive prior to receiving notification that it is safe to
do so, could result in losing or corrupting data stored on the drive. Once the Safe
to Remove Hardware message appears, please remove the drive from the docking
station. (See Drive Removal.)
Mac OS X
To safely disconnect the attached drive from the host computer, close any windows
listing the contents of the removable drive. Once all windows are closed, click on the
