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™ P8 / Voluson™ P6, 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.

External USB-Devices - Disconnection
By pressing the
DRIVES
in the Sytem Setup, a dialog window (see:

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.
