Disconnecting USB devices

69
The USB page displays a list of all USB devices that are currently attached to the
storage system, including the type of device it is, the manufacturer, and the name.
USB disks are identified by the names usbdisk1 and usbdisk2. (These names
cannot be changed.)
When you plug a USB device into the storage system, the storage system
automatically detects it and adds that device to the USB page. (You might need to
click Scan to update the display.)
However, when you want to unplug a USB device from the storage system, you
must first use the Manager to disconnect it. This prevents data corruption and other
potential problems with the device. Once the USB device has been disconnected
via the Manager, you can unplug it.
To disconnect a USB device:
1. In the navigation bar, click Advanced.
2. In the left pane, click USB.
3. In the list of USB devices, select the device(s) that you want to disconnect.
4. Click Disconnect.
5. When the confirmation message displays, click OK.
You can now unplug the USB device.
Note: If you inadvertently disconnect a USB device that you want to
retain, unplug it from the storage system, plug it back in, and then click Scan.
This reactivates the USB device.
Since the USB device always remains on the Shared Folders page, any user
assignments are always retained.
