If you are not going to be using your Drobo FS for an extended period of
time, then it is a good idea to shut it down. Make sure that no

the “Shutdown” button. Make sure the power light is off before
disconnecting the data cable or power cord.
If you do not have access to Drobo Dashboard for any reason, then:
1. Check the activity indicator to assure there is no data being
transferred to or from your Drobo FS.
2. Disconnect your Drobo FS from the network.
3. Toggle the power switch on the back of your Drobo FS.
4. When the power indicator goes off, it is safe to remove the
power cord and data cable from the back of the Drobo FS.
