TURNING OFF/DISCONNECTING THE DEVICE – 26

Turning Off/Disconnecting the Device

Auto-off

My Book turns off automatically when you shut down the computer. You also may

follow these steps to turn off the device.

Safe Shutdown

™

The Power button features Safe Shutdown, which prevents the inadvertent powering

down of My Book until all data is written to the device or system. To engage Safe

Shutdown, press the Power button once. You may hear the device power down

before the Power LED turns off. My Book is now shut down properly and may be

safely disconnected.

Safe Shutdown is enabled only through installation of its driver, which must be

installed on each system to which My Book is connected.

Safe Removal

Mac

Drag the My Book icon to the Trash icon for proper dismount. You may hear the

device power down as the Power LED flashes. When the Power LED is steady, you

may press the Power button once or disconnect My Book’s power cord to turn it off

safely.

Windows

Right-click on the WD Drive Manager icon in your system tray and point to

My Book... > Safely Remove. You can also right-click the Safely Remove

Hardware icon in your system tray and select Safely Remove Hardware. You

may hear the device power down before the Power LED turns off. My Book is now

shut down properly, and you may disconnect the device safely.

Unplugging the Device

You may perform normal system shutdown at any time and remove the product

thereafter. If the computer is still on, first follow the instructions under Safe Shutdown

or Safe Removal above.

1. Unplug the interface cable from the device.

2. Unplug the other end of the interface cable from the computer port.

3. Unplug the AC adapter from the power receptacle.

4. Unplug the the DC power connector from the power supply socket on the back of

the device.

Important: To prevent data loss, close all active windows, files, and applications

before shutting down the device, which will otherwise prevent successful safe

shutdown.
