Drive Not Ejected Correctly.

After my iMacOS High Sierra goes to sleep, when I wake it up a notice tells me that one of my external drives has not been ejected correctly. How do I prevent this happening?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Apparently you are not missing anything. I was checking the specs of a Mid-2011 iMac for someone else and found this on everymac.

*This system fully supports the last version of OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion", OS X 10.9 "Mavericks", and OS X 10.11 "Yosemite" except for Power Nap functionality.

It also runs up to High Sierra as you know but without Power Nap among other features.
