Chapter 4 RAID Modes and Drive Management
Notes:
• 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.
• To dismount an RDX cartridge from an RDX dock, first perform the dismount process either using the function
button or from Settings, then press the eject button on the dock to disconnect the cartridge.
• While accessing files on a USB drive or if a USB drive has been set as a target folder for logs, the USB drive cannot
be dismounted.
• If a USB drive is unplugged without being dismounted first while the TeraStation is powered on, it may not be
recognized properly when it is reconnected. If this occurs, restart the TeraStation and then reconnect the drive.

Using the Function Button

Note: If using the TS51220RH TeraStation model, dismount USB drives only from Settings.
When you press the function button, the TeraStation will beep once. Press and hold down the button until the
TeraStation beeps again and the button starts blinking blue. It will take about six seconds. When the function button
stops blinking and returns to glowing, the dismount is finished. 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.
