Power Mode

The “Power Mode” switch on the back of the unit has three positions: “Auto”, “On”, and “Off”. The “Auto” position automatically powers the unit on or off based with your PC. If your PC is turned on the LinkStation will power up; if the PC is turned off the LinkStation will power down.

You must have installed the NAS Navigator software on your PC for this feature to work. Otherwise, if you move the switch to “auto”, your unit will power down by itself and you will have to manually turn it back on.

Also note that the unit needs to be powered on if you want to use the Web Access feature. When using Web Access, it is best to leave the Power Mode switch set to “On”.

Move the switch to the “Off” position to turn the LinkStation off. It will take about 35 seconds to shut down. Do not unplug or interrupt power to the unit until shutdown is complete and all LEDs are off.
