Multiple instances of a browser connection to a box can be established. A box can operate multiple
connected drives independently, but one browser tab can only operate one drive. You can even connect to
one drive on multiple browser instances (e.g. operate and get diagnostic information at the same time). But
the last action will override the previous. There is no interlock between the instances.
