AUTO: When the switch is in the AUTO position, the LinkStation automatically turns off when all
computers on the network with NAS Navigator2 turn off. If any computer on the network is
powered on, the the LinkStation automatically powers on as well.
ON: The LinkStation stays on, even when all computers are off.
OFF: Turns the LinkStation off.
Notes: Never disconnect power from the LinkStation while the switch is in the ON position.
The Auto Power Mode may not work in some network environments. If this occurs, move the
switch to the ON position to use the LinkStation.
After all computers are powered down, it may take several minutes for the LinkStation to
shut down.
During initial setup, leave the Power Mode Switch in the ON position. Do not move it to the
AUTO position until the unit is set up and NAS Navigator2 is installed on all computers that
will access the LinkStation.
If a power outage disconnects power from the LinkStation while it's in Auto Power Mode,
will not power on automatically when power is restored. Move the Power Mode Switch to
the ON position to power on the LinkStation. Once the unit has booted, you can move the
Power Mode Switch back to the AUTO position.
Immediately after the Power Mode Switch is switched to the AUTO position, it will not shut
down for at least 5 minutes even if all PCs on the network are turned off.
The LS-WXL and LS-WSXL do not shut down during RAID initialization or rebuild.
