Chapter 10: Attaching external S-ATA devices

To install a S-ATA external storage device, you must first shutdown the FSG-3. Go

to the web interface and log in to the administration site. Go to the shutdown

item of the Hardware menu and press shutdown. Wait till the FSG-3 is shutdown

and plug in the eS-ATA connector of the external device into the FSG-3 eS-ATA

port. Make sure the eS-ATA device is powered on and turn the FSG-3 back on.

The storage on the eS-ATA device should show up as a shared folder. This shared

folder can be reached via FTP, HTML and SMB (Windows file sharing). The folder

will be mounted with read and write rights for all in the root folder (/).

Filesystems

An attached S-ATA Disk must be formatted in a file system supported by the FSG-

3. The supported file systems are:

FAT32

NTFS (read-only)

ext2

ext3

reiserfs

HFS(+) (read-only)

Remark: To have read/write access on the external disk, we

recommend formatting the disk in FAT32 format.
