To unmount the USB HDD, go to the Administrative Web
interface, selected the System tab and click on the USB Drive
menu item. If the drive is mounted, a button will appear on
the screen labeled “unmount”. Click this button and wait for
the confirmation that the USB drive has been unmounted
successfully.
Sample USB HDD mounted screen
The USB drive can also be safely removed by shutting the
server down. Please see the section “Shutting Down the
Magnia SG30” in Chapter 3.
Once the USB drive is unmounted (or the Magnia SG30 is
shut down), turn off or unplug the USB HDD and disconnect
the USB cable from the back of the Magnia SG30.
Formatting the USB HDD
While some USB HDDs come pre-formatted, it may be
necessary to format the hard disk for use on the Magnia SG30.
If there is any problem mounting a new USB HDD, or if you
wish to use a USB HDD previously used elsewhere, you can
format it for use using the Administrative Web interface.
Once it has been formatted, it should not be necessary to
format the disk again.
