Store". For best results, reformat the drive before using it as a backup target.
• You can use the USB Device Server to connect a USB hub and up to 15 USB devices. However, with USB Device
Server, the USB devices cannot be used for creating shared folders or act as LinkStation backup destinations.

Compatible Information

The following devices are supported by the LinkStation:
• USB storage devices
• Card readers (except for card readers that can recognize two or more memory cards)
• Digital cameras
• USB-connected UPSs
• USB printers
Buffalo external USB drives are recommended.
These devices are not supported:
• DUB and DIU series drives
• Hubs, mice, and keyboards
Connect only one device to a USB port. Some external drives with automatic power-on don't turn on automatically
when connected to the LinkStation. Use their manual switch to turn them on. Be sure to connect only one bus-powered
drive at a time. If there is insufficient bus power for your USB drive, connect its AC adapter. Note that only the first
partition of a connected USB hard drive is mounted. Additional partitions are not recognized.

Dismounting Drives

If the LinkStation is powered on, dismount external drives before unplugging them. You may dismount external drives
with the function button, or any drives from Settings. If the LinkStation is off, then all drives are already dismounted and
may be unplugged safely.
Notes:
• Do not dismount or disconnect an external drive while any drive is being formatted, accessed, or checked for er-
rors, or while a RAID array is being created or deleted.
• If you unplug your external drives without dismounting them, Settings may still show "usbdisk" in File Sharing -
Folder Setup. Reboot your LinkStation to clear it.

Dismounting with the Function Button

If the LinkStation is on, hold down the function button for 3 seconds. The white LED will go out as all attached USB
drives are dismounted. You may now unplug them safely.
Note: Dismounting drives will also restart the services for FTP, AFP, SMB, the print server, BitTorrent, WebAccess,
DLNA, and the iTunes server. Don't do this while files are being copied or accessed.
