Chapter 6: Tips and Tricks
USB Storage Expansion
The N0204 supports external USB hard disks through its four USB ports. Once a USB
hard disk has successfully mounted, the entire volume will be linked automatically
to the default USB HDD folder. The N0204 supports up to 6 USB external storage
devices. All file names on the USB disk volume are case sensitive.
Before attaching an USB disk drive to N0204, you have to partition and format it on
a desktop computer or a notebook first. The attached device will be located at
\\192.168.1.100\usbhdd\sdf1 where 192.168.1.100 means the IP address of
N0204 and sdf1 stands for the first partition on disk #6, the USB disk drive. If it is
an NTFS partition, NAS users can open or copy files from
\\192.168.1.100\usbhdd\sdf1 but cannot add new files or modify existing files.
Replacing Damaged Hard Drives
If you are using RAID 1, you can easily replace a damaged hard drive in the Thecus
N0204 while keeping your data secure with the system’s automatic data recovery.
Hard Drive Damage
When a hard drive is damaged and data in the RAID volume, the system LCD will
display warning message and begin beeping.
