In this position, if all connected computers are turned off, the LinkStation will turn off too. If a
connected computer is powered on, the LinkStation will power on too.

• After you turn off your computer, it may take several minutes for the LinkStation to shut down.
• When the Power Mode Switch is changed from Auto to Manual or vice-versa, it takes about five
minutes for the change to take effect.
• Power on the LinkStation before moving the switch to the Auto position.
• Install NAS Navigator2 on all computers that will be accessing the LinkStation before switching to
Auto Power Mode.
• Some networks may not support the Auto Power Mode. If you have problems with it, just use
Manual Power Mode.
