Disconnecting an external device

The External Devices page displays a list of all external devices (USB or
eSATA storage device) that are currently attached to the storage
system, including the type of device it is, the manufacturer, and the
name. External devices are identified by the names usbdisk1 to
usbdisk5 and esatadisk1. (These names cannot be changed.)
When you plug an external device to the storage system, the storage
system automatically detects it and adds that device to the External
Devices. (You might need to click Scan to update the display.)
However, when you want to unplug a external device from the storage
system, you must first use the IPStor Express Manager to disconnect it.
This prevents data corruption and other potential problems with the
device. Once the external device has been disconnected via the IPStor
Express Manager, you can unplug it.
