Dismounting Drives

If the LinkStation is powered on, dismount drives (internal and external) before unplugging them. You may
dismount external drives with the function button, or dismount any drives from Settings. If the LinkStation is off,
then all drives are already dismounted and may be unplugged safely.
Note: If you unplug your external drives without dismounting them, Settings may still show "usbdisk" in the shared
folder list. Reboot your LinkStation to clear it.

Dismounting with the Function Button

Press and hold the function button for 3 seconds. The white function LED will go out as all attached USB drives are
dismounted. You may now unplug them safely.
