Safely Shutting Down
One of the recommended ways to safely shut down your My Book Live drive is to
use the WD Quick View icon.
Note: Another preferred method is to use the dashboard. See “Reboot/Shutdown”
on page 69. If the unit does not shut down using either recommended
method, see “How do I safely shut down the My Book Live?” on page 127.
Important:
Before shutting down, ensure that no files are being transferred to or
from the device. Check the LED on the front of the drive to make sure
it is not blinking. Blinking indicates that the unit is processing
information (for example, backing up or transferring files).
WARNING!
Do not unplug the drive during shutdown.
