Dismounting Drives - Buffalo TeraStation 1000 User Manual

• DUB and DIU series drives
• Hubs, mice, and keyboards
Connect only one device to each USB port of the TeraStation. Some external drives with automatic power-on don't
turn on automatically when connected to the TeraStation. Use their manual power switch to turn them on. Be sure
to connect only one bus-powered drive at a time. If there is insufficient bus power for your USB drive, connect its AC
adapter. Note that only the first partition of a connected USB hard drive is mounted. Additional partitions are not
recognized.
Notes:
• Hubs are not supported. Connect a single USB drive to each USB port.
• Backup data from Mac OS may include characters that cannot be written to FAT16 or FAT32 drives such as
".DS_Store". For best results, reformat the drive before using it as a backup target.

Dismounting Drives

If the TeraStation is powered on, dismount drives (internal and external) before unplugging them. You may
dismount external drives with the function button, or any drive from Settings. If the TeraStation is off, then all drives
are already dismounted and may be unplugged safely.
Note: If dismounting multiple drives at the same time, dismount all drives first; when the status is displayed as
"Dismounted / Plugged" in Settings for all drives, disconnect them.
Dismounting with the Function Button
If the TeraStation is on, hold down the function button for 3 seconds for TS1200D models or until the unit beeps for
TS1400D models. The function LED will light as all attached USB drives are dismounted. You may now unplug them
safely.
Note: After 60 seconds, the function LED will turn off and any drives that have not yet been unplugged will be
remounted.
