Deleting a Unit

2Backup any data you want to keep.

3Unmount the unit.

Launch the Macintosh Disk Utility, select the unit, and click the Unmount button the toolbar, or select the icon for the unit on the desktop and drag it to the trash.

This step is very important. If a unit is not unmounted and you delete it, it is the equivalent of physically yanking a hard drive out from under the operating system. You could lose data, the system could hang, or the controller could reset.

4In 3DM, choose Management > Maintenance.

5In the Unit Maintenance section of the Maintenance page, select the unit you want to remove and click Delete Unit (Figure 23).
