Set Up of USB/SD Card Storage

The Devices > USB / SD Card page has a checkbox for both USB Access and SD card access. These checkboxes are a security feature to ensure that access to any USB device or the SD card is disabled if the box is unchecked. If unchecked, the SLC unit ignores any device plugged into the port.

To set up USB or SD card storage in the SLC 8000 advanced console manager:

1.Insert any of the supported storage devices into the USB port or the SD card slot on the front of the SLC unit. You can do this before or after powering up the SLC 8000 advanced console manager. If the first partition on the storage device is formatted with a file system supported by the SLC unit (ext2, FAT16 and FAT32), the card mounts automatically.

2.Log into the SLC unit and click Devices.

3.Click USB / SD Card. Figure 9-1shows the page that displays. Your storage device should display appropriate row in the USB ports / SD card table if you have inserted it. If is does not display and you have inserted it, refresh the web page.

4.View the USB/SD card information and options available on the page:
