Starting Drobo Dashboard

Drobo Dashboard is an optional tool for monitoring and managing your Drobo.

There are two ways to start the Dashboard. One is from the Windows Start

Button, and the other is from the system tray icon.

The Drobo Dashboard provides an easy to read system tray icon that shows you

the status of your Drobo. So if you keep your Drobo in a location where the data

bay indicators are not visible to you, use the Dashboard to remotely monitor the

status and capacity of the system.

By double clicking the System Tray Gauge, you will open the Drobo Dashboard,

or you can access different windows by right-clicking the icon; you can also use

the system tray icon to exit Drobo Dashboard.

1. Go to your Windows Desktop.

2. On the right-hand side of the Windows Task Bar you will find the Windows

system tray. Inside it is the Drobo Dashboard System Tray Gauge. Click

on the gauge to open the Dashboard.

To start the Dashboard from the Windows Start Button:
