Safely Shutting Down Your Drobo Device Using Drobo Dashboard
This is the recommended method for safely shutting down your Drobo device.
Note: For the Drobo, you will first need to put it in standby mode, and then remove
the power supply in order to shut it down.
1. Check that the activity light on your Drobo device is off, indicating that no data is
actively being transferred to or from your Drobo device. Refer to Figure 7 or 8, below.
Note: If data is actively being transferred, the activity light will be blinking green.

2. Also check to ensure the drive bay action indicator lights are not blinking alternately
between yellow and green. This indicates that your Drobo device is busy working to
protect your data. Wait until these lights are a solid green.
