Saving Power; What To Do When Not Using Your Fs Storage Array - Data Robotics DroboPro FS Bedienungsanleitung

It is always advisable to shut your FS array before disconnecting the
Ethernet cable(s) or power cord. In most cases, you can do the
following:
1. Check the activity light on your FS array to make sure no user or
application is accessing the FS array. (The activity light should be
off.)
2. In Drobo Dashboard, go to Advanced Settings -> Tools.
3. Click the "Shutdown" button.
4. After the power light has turned off, it is safe to disconnect
power, Ethernet cable(s) and remove the disk pack as required.

Saving Power

If you are concerned about saving power, you don't need to worry
about turning off your FS array when not using it. The device
automatically goes into a power saving mode (spins down the hard
drives) when it has not been accessed for 15 minutes (default) or the
time you selected in the General tab. Note that when the drives have
spun down, it will take your FS array a few moments to spin the drives
back up again when you try to access it.
Note: Both Drobo FS and DroboPro FS allow you to modify the time intervals for
disk drive spin down. See page 21 for details.

What to do when not using your FS storage array

If you are not going to be using your FS array for an extended period of
time, then it is a good idea to shut it down. Make sure that no
applications on your computer are using the device by checking the
activity light. If applications are using your FS array, they may prevent it
from properly disconnecting.
Open Drobo Dashboard and click Advanced Controls -> Tools. Then click
the "Shutdown" button. Make sure the power light is off before
disconnecting the data cable or power cord.
