CAUTION: To avoid damaging the hardware or losing data, always confirm that the drive is
ready for removal by its solid amber fault LED.
IMPORTANT: If you do not see a solid amber fault LED on the drive, it could be the data has
not been vacated yet. When the drive has failed and been spun down, the fault LED becomes
lit solid amber and only then can you proceed with removal. This process may take several
hours.
