If you unmount the volumes, wait until there are no more lights blinking (flushing the disk cache) before pulling the cable

Should I umount the raid via the software first or just turn off computer and pull them out?

Here is what to do if you don't get your volumes mounting.

I am about to undergo the upgrade from High Sierra to Mojave. I have all the details/hardware ready to ensure i have METAL support in the GPU, but where I am drawing a bit of a blank in my prep is how to handle my RAID 5 setup with SoftRaid.

I need to first upgrade my BootRom via High Sierra upgrader. This will require me to boot the high sierra installer from a AFPS formatting drive, which currently NONE of my drives are AFPS.

This will require me to pull my raid array (3 different disks) out of my Mac Pro. I've never done this before. So my first question is simply:

Question #1) TO safely dismount them, I just turn my computer off, and pull all three raid drives, and turn my computer on correct?

Next, once I upgrade my BootRom, then my GPU w/Metal Support, I'll be upgrading to Mojave. Once Mojave is updated, to reactivate my SoftRaid array I land at this question:

Question #2) Do I simply shut down again and install the 3 disks and start up SoftRaid Software (currently on 5.8.4)?
