External USB-Devices - Connection
When an external USB-storage device (such as a USB-memory stick or an external hard disk) is
connected to the Voluson E8 / Voluson E6, Windows detects the device and automatically installs a
driver. During this process, several dialogs may pop up, starting with the “Found New Hardware“ dialog.
NOTE:
If an external drive was not recognized automatically after connecting it, click
RESCAN DRIVE
.
The device is then accessible using the drive letter the system assigned to it.

By pressing the
USB
key on the keyboard, a dialog window (see:
below) is displayed.
The “Connect USB and Network Drives” window shows all USB and Network drives connected to the
system. Using this dialog, the USB-devices can be stopped before they are physically disconnected.
To stop the external device, select it and then click the STOP DEVICE button.
Confirm the ‘Stop Device‘ dialog with OK and CANCEL the “Connect USB and Network Drives” window.
