Disconnect This option prepares the USB partition for disconnection by correctly unmounting the file
system. In most cases, you can safely disconnect the device without first unmounting;

written out to the disks and that the file system is properly closed. The Disconnect option
unmounts all partitions on the device. Once disconnected, physically remove and re-
connect to the ReadyNAS to regain access the USB device,.
Locate In cases where you attach multiple storage devices and wish to determine which device
corresponds to the device listing, the Locate command causes the device LED to blink, if
present.
