Adding an External Hard Drive
Connect an External Drive
Your TeraStation includes 2 USB connectors (3 if it’s a TS-RXL). You can connect a Bualo external hard drive to it for
backup or extra storage.
Connect the external drive as shown below. If the hard drive is already formatted, it will be detected automatically. If it
is not formatted, format it from within the Web Admin interface (page 28).
One external hard drive may be connected to each USB port on the TeraStation. USB hubs are not supported.
TS-XL, TS-XEL
TS-WXL
Warning! Do not unplug the drive from the TeraStation without dismounting it rst. Turn to page 30 for directions on
dismounting a connected drive.
TS-RXL
If the drive properly connected, usbdiskX
is added to the TeraStation’s shares on the
network, where X is the # of the drive.
Note: • Files that are automatically created
by Mac OS X cannot be backed up to a FAT
32 drive because they contain characters
that are not allowed in FAT 32.
A third hard drive can be connected to the USB connector
on the front panel of the TS-RXL TeraStation if the front
panel is removed.
