You do NOT create a RAID Volume or folders with the USB drive or memory stick
as you would with the disk drives installed in the SmartStor enclosure.
With the USB drive or memory stick connected to the SmartStor, create a
network drive on your PC and choose the USB disk as the folder. Then you can
access the USB drive or memory stick from your PC.
See “Chapter 3: Connecting to the SmartStor” on page 31 for more information.
Formatting an External USB Drive or Memory Stick
This option only appears when SmartStor does not recognize the file system on
the USB drive or memory stick.
To format a USB drive or memory stick:
1. Attach the USB drive or memory stick to one of the USB ports on the back of
the SmartStor.
2. Click the Administration topic and choose the RAID & File System icon to
expand the Tree.
3. In the Tree, click the File System Management icon.
4. On the File System Status tab, highlight the USB drive.
5. From the Format File System Type dropdown menu, choose a file system:
• FAT 32 – Use for Windows, Linux, and Macs, and SmartStor
• Ext3 – Use for UNIX and Linux PCs, and SmartStor
6. Click the Format USB Disk button.
7. In the confirmation box, type YES, then click the OK button.
Formatting requires several minutes, depending on the size of your USB drive or
memory stick.
Viewing the iSCSI Status
The iSCSI Status screen allows you to set up the services setting and displays
information about the iSCSI on the SmartStor:
iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) is an Internet Protocol (IP)-
based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities
To setup the iSCSI services settings:
1. Click the Administration topic and choose the RAID & File System icon to
expand the Tree.

When you format a USB drive or memory stick, you delete all the
data saved on it. Back up any important data before you format.
