• After you turn off your computer, it may take several minutes for the TeraStation 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 TeraStation before moving the switch to the Auto position.
• Auto Power Mode doesn't work if port trunking is enabled or if NasNavi detection is disabled.
• Install NAS Navigator2 on all computers that will be accessing the TeraStation before switching to Auto Power
Mode.
