You can choose to
create several
partitions via USB.
However please
note that only the
first partition will be
recognised on the
network (LAN disk
function).
The drive must be
formatted using the
FAT32 file system.
Alternatively, you
can also format the
LAN disk using the
disk utility option.
Connect the device
to your LAN, login,
go to disk utility and
choose “Format”.
