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.

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.

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.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to power off the Storage Link before 
disconnecting the USB hard drive.

IMPORTANT: The Storage Link's format 
is NOT compatible with Windows. You 
cannot swap USB hard drives between 
Windows systems and the Storage Link.
