Safely Shutting Down Your Drobo/Pro/S

If you plan to shut down your Drobo device for any reason, it is very important that you do so

safely. Improper Drobo device shutdowns may cause file corruption and/or data loss.

Note: For the Drobo only, shutting down requires removing the power supply. (This is

not necessary for the Drobo S or the DroboPro.)

It is a good idea to shut down your Drobo device before any of the following situations:

Note: If you are concerned about saving power, know that your Drobo device

automatically shifts into power saving mode when it has not been accessed for

15 minutes (the default setting). If you will not be using your Drobo device for an

extended period of time, however, it is a good idea to safely shut it down.
