DroboPro
Q. How can I shut down DroboPro safely for a prolonged period?
A. Click the "Shutdown" command from the Advanced Controls > Tools
tab of Drobo Dashboard or by clicking the power button on the rear
of the DroboPro. The front and rear power lights will turn off once
the DroboPro has safely shut down. You can now safely disconnect
power and store DroboPro for a prolonged period.
Q. How should the network port on my computer be set up to use
iSCSI?
A. For most setups, you should have the port set to automatically
retrieve the network information (referred to on Windows as
"Obtain an IP address automatically" and on Mac OS X as "Using
DHCP"). You should only have a static IP address set on the network
port for the iSCSI connection if you plan on having more than one
DroboPro connected to your computer or if you want to connect
your DroboPro to a swith. In addition, make sure that any firewall
protection software allows for inbound and outbound connections
with Drobo Dashboard.
For more information on connecting multiple DroboPros to one
computer please visit our support site at www.drobo.com/support.
Q. Can I place my DroboPro on its side?
A. If you place your DroboPro on its side, there is a chance the drives
will disconnect. For optimal performance and protection of your data
we recommend that DroboPro remain in its normal horizontal
position during normal operation.

Drobo firmware (version 1.1.0 or greater). Next, check to make sure
DroboShare has been assigned an IP address on your network. This is
required to share DroboShare on your network. If DHCP is available
