f. Connect the 4-pin LED cable attached to the unified power and data cable to the open 4-pin

counterclockwise to unlock the drive.
b. Pull the ejection handle on the TrayFree bay to open the bay door.
c. Remove any drive already in the bay.

2 EJECTING DRIVES FROM THE RJ34S

drive unless you have a hotswap-capable host.

not blinking, as removing the drive while a file transfer is in progress can result in data loss.
b. If the bay is locked, rotate the lock switch 90 degrees counterclockwise to unlock it.
c. Remove the drive from the RJ34S.
If you have a SAS/SATA host card or motherboard that supports hot-swapping,
then you should first unmount the volume by left-clicking on the the USB plug icon

device from the menu that pops up. Volumes not on a hotswap-capable host may
not appear here.
