Notes:
• Do not replace a running drive while the LinkStation is turned on. Power down the LinkStation before changing
the drive. While the LinkStation is running, never unplug or remove drives without dismounting them first.
• If using the LS520DN LinkStation model, use a Buffalo OP-HDBN series drive as the replacement drive. For the
replacement drive of other LinkStation models, use a Buffalo OP-HDBST series drive. You can also use compatible
non-Buffalo drives listed on the
Buffalo website as the replacement drive for the LS520DE LinkStation model. The
replacement drive should be the same size or larger as the original drive. If a larger drive is used, the extra space
will not be usable in a RAID 0 array. However with a RAID 1 array, you can expand the current RAID array capacity
