Shutting Down the Server

The WD Sentinel server is intended to be on at all times, providing shared data and
backup services. A best practice is to avoid turning the unit off. However, if it does
become necessary (for example, moving the server to a different location), then
follow the procedures below:
It is very important that the WD Sentinel server be shut down or restarted in a clean
and graceful manner. There are two ways to do this: through the Server Settings
section in the Dashboard or through the power switch on the front panel of the
server.
WARNING! To avoid a potentially unclean shutdown that could corrupt the
RAID configuration, shut down the server through the Dashboard
rather than the front panel.
To shut down or restart using the Dashboard (Preferred method):
1. Click Server Settings in the icon bar.
2. To shut down, right-click the red button in the lower left corner of the page and
select Shut down.
3. To restart, right-click the arrow and select Restart.
4. When the confirmation message appears, click Yes.
