Chapter 6: Tips and Tricks
USB Storage Expansion
The Thecus IP storage supports external USB hard disks through its USB ports. Once
a USB hard disk has successfully mounted, the entire volume will be linked
automatically to the default USB HDD folder.
Before attaching a USB disk drive to a Thecus NAS, it must be partitioned and
formatted by a computer. The attached device will be located at
\\IPADDRESS\usbhdd\usb\xxx\ where IPADDRESS is the IP address of the NAS
(192.168.1.100 by default) and xxx is the name of the folder on the NAS
(usually labelled 1, 2, 3, etc in succession for each time data is imported).
