Disk Detail
If a blank disk is attached to the Router, the Disk, Make and Model, and Physical Size columns describe the disk.
Claim

Claim

Claim
Disk
screen, enter a name for the partition. Click the
Claim

Clear
button to clear the
New Partition Name
field. Click the
Cancel
button to cancel the changes.
Safely Remove

Safely Remove
button first.
This ensures that the disk is not removed while data is being transferred to or from the disk; otherwise, data may
be lost.

describe the partition(s) of the disk.

Create Share
button. Proceed to the next page for descriptions of the
Share
screen.
Erase Disk

Quick Erase

Quick Erase
button to remove the table of contents
from the disk. (This is less secure than the Full Erase option.)
Full Erase
. Click the
Full Erase
button to initiate complete removal of data from the disk. Once the removal is
complete, the data cannot be recovered. The Full Erase option is recommended if the disk holds sensitive data.
