Dismounting Drives; Dismounting With The Function Button; Dismounting From Settings - Buffalo TeraStation 3010 User Manual

Chapter 4 Storage Management
• When copying a file that is over 100 MB to a FAT32-formatted USB drive using File Explorer, an error message may
appear. In such a case, use an FTP or SFTP connection to copy the file.
• When copying files from a shared folder to a FAT32-formatted USB drive, the progress bar may not be displayed
or the file copying may fail. Using a file system other than FAT32 is recommended for the USB drive.

Dismounting Drives

If the TeraStation is powered on, dismount drives (internal and external) before unplugging them. You may
dismount external drives using the function button, or dismount any drive from Settings. If the TeraStation is off,
then all drives are already dismounted and may be unplugged safely.
Note: Do not dismount internal drives while a RAID array is rebuilding or RMM is being configured. If you do, data on
the drives may be lost.

Dismounting with the Function Button

When you press the function button, the TeraStation will beep once. Press and hold the button until the TeraStation
beeps again and the button starts blinking blue. It will take about six seconds. When the dismount is completed, the
function button will stop blinking and return to glowing. You may now unplug any USB drives safely.
After 60 seconds, the function button will go out and any drives that have not yet been unplugged will be
remounted.
