Powering off the Snowball Edge

When you've finished transferring data on to the Amazon Snowball Edge device, prepare it for its return trip to Amazon. Before you continue, make sure that all data transfer to the device has stopped. If you were using the NFS interface to transfer data, disable it before you power off the device. For more information, see Managing the NFS interface.

When all communication with the device has ended, turn it off by pressing the power button located above the LCD screen. It takes about 20 seconds for the device to shut down. While the device is shutting down, the LCD screen displays a message indicating the device is shutting down.
