Using your LinkStation

To set access restrictions on an additional hard drive

You can set access restrictions for shares on an external USB hard drive. In the Web Admin interface, navigate to [Shared Folders] - [Folder Setup].

Note: Even if a shared folder is not visible, you can still format the drive, run a disk check, or back up to the external USB hard drive.

About the USB connector on the LinkStation

•You can connect many types of USB devices to the LinkStation, including USB hard drives, USB flash drives, single-card card readers, digital cameras, and USB printers. USB hubs, mice, keyboards, and card readers that support 2 or more cards are not supported.

•One hard drive or other device may be connected to the LinkStation at a time. USB hubs are not supported. Only Buffalo hard drives are supported.

•Hard drives with their Power Mode Switch set to AUTO may not be recognized by the LinkStation. Set the Power Mode Switch to MANUAL for use with the LinkStation.

•Bus-powered hard drives are not supported. Always use the AC adapter for a hard disk.

•Only the primary partition of USB hard drives can be recognized. Secondary or other partitions will not be recognized.

•If the external USB drive is formatted as FAT32 or FAT 16, you may not be able to copy or back up

files or folders from Mac OS X to it. These files may include characters that are not supported by FAT 32 or FAT 16.

•When you back up to a FAT 32 USB hard drive with Overwrite Backup (Differential) enabled, the system may overwrite data even though there are no difference in data. If the second of the date when the file created is an odd number, an overwrite backup is performed every time regardless of differences in the data.
