3 Unmount the unit.
This step is very important. If a unit is not unmounted and you delete it,
it is the equivalent of physically yanking a hard drive out from under the
operating system. Resulting behavior depends on which operating system
you are using and what kind of I/O is being done, however you will
typically see really bad results, bad errors, and most likely a reset of the
controller or a system hang.
Under Windows, go to
Start > Administrative Tools > Computer
Management
, and select Disk Management. Remove the logical drive
letter for the unit.
Under Linux and FreeBSD, you can unmount the unit with this command:
umount <mount location>
4 In 3DM, choose Management > Maintenance.
5 In the Unit Maintenance table on the Maintenance Page, select the unit
you want to remove and click
Delete Unit (Figure 65).
