Safely Shutting Down Your Drobo 5D Using Drobo Dashboard

This is the recommended method for safely shutting down your Drobo device.
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.
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.
Note: If one or more drive bay lights are red, you need to add capacity or replace the current
drive. However, you can still safely shut down your Drobo device.
3. In Drobo Dashboard, select the Drobo device that you would like to shut down from the All
Drobos page, and click the Tools option on the Navigation menu.
The Tools page opens.
