Connecting a USB Drive

To connect a USB drive to the SmartStor, attach the USB cable from your
external drive to one of the USB connections on the back of the SmartStor.

If you have a USB memory stick, attach it directly to one of the USB connections
or use a USB cable, whichever is more convenient.

The USB drive or memory stick appears as a folder called usbdisk when you
create your network drive. See the instructions on the following page.

SmartStor supports USB drives and memory sticks formatted to FAT32 and Ext3
file formats. If the SmartStor does recognize the USB drive or memory stick, the
usbdisk folder does not appear. See “Formatting an External USB Drive or
Memory Stick” on page 133.
