Shutting Down the Storage System

To shut down the storage system, you use the power button on the unit itself, or you can shut the system
down remotely using the Web User Interface.

Shutdown by Using the Power Button

For a gradual shutdown (recommended), press and release the power button quickly.
For an immediate shutdown (not recommended), press and hold the power button until the LEDs turn off.
This takes about four or five seconds.
Caution: An immediate shutdown can damage either the hard drive or the hard drive's file
structure.

Shutdown through the Web User Interface

To ensure that you do not shut down the system accidentally, you must enter your administrator password
to do this.
Caution: If you shut down the storage system, users will no longer be able to access the shared folders
on the storage system. If users have shared files open, data might be lost. Be sure to have all
users save their changes and close any open files before you shut down the storage system.
Shutting down the storage system when a backup is occurring will not have any adverse
effect; the backup will resume automatically when the storage system is powered on again.
However, shutting down the storage system when a disk is being recovered can potentially
corrupt the user's operating system, and the user will need to recover the system disk using
the recovery CD (or, if the system disk was not protected, re-install the operating system).
