Disconnecting USB devices
The USB page displays a list of all USB devices that are curren t ly attached to the
storage
system, including the type of device it is, the manufacturer , and the name.
USB
disks are identified by the names usbdisk1 and usbdisk2 . (These names
cannot
be changed.)
When you plug a USB device into the storage system, the storage system
automatically
detects it and adds that device to the USB page . (You might need to
click
Scan to update the display . )
However , when you wan t to unplug a USB device from the storage system, you
must first use the Manager to disconnect it. This prevents data corruption and other
potential
problems with the device. Once the USB device has been disconnected
via the Manager , you can unplug it.
To disconnect a USB device:
1 . In the naviga t ion bar , click Advanced .
2 . In the le ft pane , click USB .
3 . In the list o f USB devices, select the device(s) that you want to disconnect.
4. Click Disconnect .
5 . When the confirmation message displays, click OK .
You can now unplug the USB device.
Note: If you inadvertently disconnect a USB device that you want to
retain, unplug it from the storage system , plug it back in , and t hen click Scan .
This reactivates the USB device.
Since t he USB device always remains on t he Shared Fol ders page, any user
assignmen
t s are always retained.
