Removing External Hard Drives

If the TeraStation is on, always dismount external hard drives before disconnecting them. You may dismount drives with the Function button, or from within the Web Admin interface. If the TeraStation is turned off, dismounting is not necessary.

Dismounting with the Function button

To dismount a USB drive, press and hold the function button for 7 seconds. The Function button will be illuminated in blue (The LED next to the Function button will be illuminated in blue on the TS-RXL). After the light in the function button goes out, you can safely remove your USB device.
