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 list of USB devices, select the device(s) that you want to disconnect.
2. Click “Disconnect”.
3. When the confirmation message appears, 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. If you remove one USB
device and insert another one into the same port, the permission will be carried
over from the previous device to the new one.
3.11 System Settings
Clicking on the “Advanced” button in the menu, then clicking “System” on the left menu will open
the System page (Figure 3-26) which displays the settings that you specified when you initially
configured the storage system, such as the storage system name, and the current date and
time.
In local authentication mode, you can change any of these settings at any time. In Active
Directory authentication mode, you can change any of these settings except the storage system
name. You can also change the administrator name and password to use for logging in to the
Manager.
Note: Changing the storage system name might affect access to shared folders
or backups, depending on how your network is configured and how users access
the storage system.
For example, if users are connected to the storage system using its IP address,
changing the name has no effect. However, if they are connected using the
name, they must disconnect from their shared folders and then access the
shared folders again using the new name.
If the DiskSafe Express users are connected to the storage system using its
name, they must remove protection from all disks that are connected to this
storage system and then protect their disks again, using the new name.
