Adding Storage

The LinkStation has a USB connector on the back. You can connect a Buffalo external hard drive to the
USB Port. It will appear as an additional shared folder on the LinkStation.
Connect the hard drive as shown below. If the hard disk is not formatted, format it from the Web Admin
interface.
Refer to page 64 when removing the hard drive from the LinkStation.
• Only one hard drive can be connected to the LinkStation at a time. Bus powered drives are
not supported. Always use the drive's AC adapter.
Note: If the USB drive is formatted with FAT 32 (or FAT 16), files created by Mac OS X automatically
(such as .DS_Store) cannot be backed up to this drive.
