A connected eSATA device may not be recognized if it is connected to

the computer's eSATA/USB combo port while the computer is in Sleep

Mode or Hibernation Mode. If this occurs, disconnect the eSATA

device and then reconnect the device while the computer is turned on.

If you connect an eSATA device after the computer has already been

turned on, it will take about ten seconds for it to be recognized by the

computer.

Do not attempt to disconnect and reconnect the drive before this

period has elapsed.
