Connect the hard drive as shown below. If the hard disk is not formatted, format it from the Web Admin interface.

Refer to page 64 when removing the hard drive from the LinkStation.

•Only one hard drive can be connected to the LinkStation at a time. Bus powered drives are not supported. Always use the drive’s AC adapter.

If the drive is connected properly, [usbdisk1] will be added to the shares under the LinkStation in Network.

Note: If the USB drive is formatted with FAT 32 (or FAT 16), files created by Mac OS X automatically (such as .DS_Store) cannot be backed up to this drive.
