Linkstation Expansion - Buffalo HS-D300GL User Manual

LinkStation Expansion

LinkStation has two USB 2.0 ports on it, one on the front and one on the rear. These ports
can be used for adding an external USB Hard Drive or a USB Printer, allowing everyone on the
network to share the USB device. You can also connect your digital camera to one of these ports
and download your pictures directly to the LinkStation (see page 27). One printer or one external
USB Hard Drive can be added to either of the ports. If you install both a printer and a USB hard
drive, the printer must be plugged into the front USB port and the hard drive into the rear USB
port. You may not install two USB Printers or two USB Hard Drives on a single Linkstation, only
one of each device. To connect a USB device to LinkStation, plug it into one of the USB Ports and
then enable it in the LinkStation configuration tool.

Hard Drive. Page 61 will show you how to format the USB Hard Drive. Pages 57 & 58 will show

Digital Camera Information: If your camera appears as a hard drive in My Computer, you can
connect it directly to your LinkStation and download photos and movies automatically. See page
27 for more information.
