you purchased the Extended Storage System and the USB drive has been connected to the 
appliance.

• Windows Share: Configures the appliance to use a Windows file system share on a NAS as 

extended storage. 

• NFS Mount: Configures the appliance to use an NFS Mount on a NAS as extended storage.

Refer to the subsections below for specific instructions on adding each type of extended storage to your 
appliance.

To configure your appliance to use an Extended Storage System for extended storage:

1. Select USB Drive from the Select Storage Type pane and then click Next.

2. The Select operation pane appears. Two selections are available:

– Use Extended Storage: Configure the appliance to use the Extended Storage System without 

formatting the file system first. Can be used if the Extended Storage System you have connected 
to your appliance has previously been formatted and contains camera and sensor data already.

– Format and use Extended Storage: Formats the Extended Storage System’s file system and 

then configures the appliance to use the Extended Storage System.

3. Select the operation you wish to perform and then click OK. 

– If you selected Use Extended Storage, a confirmation message appears advising you that the 

appliance will need to restart to complete the task. Click Finish to restart the appliance. When the 
restart is complete all Extended Storage System functionality will be available for use.

– If you selected Format and use Extended Storage, a confirmation message appears, advising 

you that formatting the extended storage device will destroy any data stored on the device and 
that formatting can take 10 or more minutes to complete, after which the appliance must restart to 
begin using extended storage. Click Finish to complete this task. Once the Extended Storage 
System is formatted, your appliance will restart automatically. When the restart is complete all 
External Storage functionality will be available for use.

Because problems can occur with your NAS devices that would adversely affect appliance behavior, be 
sure to use the Backup task to back up your appliance configuration before using External Storage to 
configure the appliance to use a Windows share. This will help ensure that, should you encounter 
problems with the Windows share, you can easily restore your appliance to an operational state.
