Disconnecting Your Drobo from Your Mac
Before disconnecting Drobo from your Mac or disconnecting the power from your Drobo, always properly put Drobo into
Standby Mode by safely ejecting your Drobo first. You can do this by dragging the Drobo drive icon from your desktop to
the Trash, locating the Drobo icon in the Finder and choosing Eject from the file menu, or clicking on the Standby button
located on the Tools Tab of the Advanced Controls Panel. Once you have initiated the Standby command, it is safe to
remove the USB or FireWire cable.
Warning: Failure to properly eject Drobo from your Mac can cause loss of data.
This standby operation should take only a few seconds. Once Drobo is in Standby Mode, all lights will turn off except for
the power indicator, which will turn orange. Only then can you safely disconnect Drobo from your Mac or disconnect the
power from your Drobo.
Warning: Always properly put Drobo into Standby Mode before disconnecting it from its power source or your Mac. When
the power light turns orange, it is safe to remove the power from Drobo or disconnect it from your Mac.
