Changing a Flash Memory Disk (for the Disk 2 Port)

Inserting a Flash Memory Disk
You can insert a Flash Memory Disk at any time after the utility is installed (refer to Chapter 6: Configuring the
Storage Link). Once that LED comes on and stays on, the Flash Memory Disk is available for use.
Removing a Flash Memory Disk
1. From the Storage Link utility in your System Tray, select Safely Remove Drive.
3. Select the desired Network Sorage Link and click Eject.
5. Wait for the disk's LED to start blinking slowly. (A message will appear on your Windows desktop when it is
safe to detach the Flash Memory disk.)
6. Remove the Flash Memory Disk.
NOTE: If the Flash Memory Disk is not removed, it will not be re-connected.
You must remove and re-insert the Flash Disk to have it re-connected.

Changing a USB Hard Drive

IMPORTANT: Make sure to power off the Storage Link before
disconnecting the USB hard drive.
The USB Hard Drive can only be changed when the Storage Link is powered off.
While the Storage Link is powered off, you can safely disconnect an existing USB drive, and connect the desired
USB drive.
A new USB hard drive must be formatted before it can be used.
• For initial installation, the Windows-based Setup Wizard will check if the USB hard drive has been
formatted, and will offer to format an unformatted drive. The format operation will destroy any existing
data on the disk.
• If a new USB hard drive is connected at a later date, you can use the Web-based Utility to format the new
hard drive. This option is on the Disk screen, which is accessed via the Administration menu.
