Connect only one device to each USB port of the TeraStation. Note that only the first partition of a connected USB

drive is mounted. Additional partitions are not recognized.

Notes:

• Backup data from macOS may include characters that cannot be written to FAT16 or FAT32 drives such as

".DS_Store". For best results, reformat the drive before using it as a backup target.

• If your USB 3.0 drive is not reconfigured after rebooting the TeraStation, unplug and reconnect it.

• When copying a file that is over 100 MB to a FAT32-formatted USB drive using File Explorer, an error message

may be displayed. In such a case, use an FTP or SFTP connection to copy the file.

Dismounting Drives

If the TeraStation is powered on, dismount drives (internal and external) before unplugging them. You may

dismount external drives with the function button, or any drive from Settings. If the TeraStation is off, then all drives

are already dismounted and may be unplugged safely.

Note: 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.

Dismounting with the Function Button

When you press the function button, the TeraStation will beep once. Press and hold the button until the TeraStation

beeps again and the button starts blinking blue. It will take about 6 seconds. When the dismount is finished, the

function button will stop blinking and return to glowing. 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.

Dismounting from Settings

1 In Settings, click Storage.

2 Click Drives to dismount an internal drive or USB Drives to dismount an external drive.
