Starting the Drobo Dashboard
Drobo Dashboard is an optional tool for monitoring and managing your Drobo.
Drobo Dashboard offers useful information and convenient tools and is required
in order to update Drobo to the most recent released versions of firmware and
software.
The Drobo Dashboard provides a Menu Bar that mirrors the status of your Drobo.
This way, if you keep your Drobo in a location where the data bay indicators are
not visible, you can still monitor the status and capacity of the system.

from the Applications folder,
from the dock, and
from the Menu Bar.
To start the Drobo Dashboard from the Applications Folder:
1. Go to your Applications folder.
2. Click on the Drobo Dashboard folder.
3. Select Drobo Dashboard to open the Dashboard.
To start the Drobo Dashboard from the dock:
1. Find the Drobo icon in your dock.
2. Click on the Drobo icon to open the Drobo Dashboard.
To start the Drobo Dashboard from the Menu Bar:

Dashboard.
