Removing Hard Drives
If the TeraStation is powered on, dismount the external hard drive before unplugging it. You may dismount drives with the function button, or from within the Web Admin interface. If the TeraStation is off, then the USB device is already dismounted, and you can remove it safely.
Dismounting with the Function Button
If the TeraStation is on, hold down the function button for 7 seconds to dismount the USB drive. The blue LED will go out when the drive is dismounted. You may now unplug it safely, even after the blue LED comes back on.
If the TeraStation is off, then the USB device is already dismounted, and you can remove it safely.
Notes:
• Refer to chapter 11 for the positions of the USB ports and the function button.
• Wait 3 minutes before reconnecting a dismounted USB drive. It may not be recognized if you attempt to connect it immediately.
