EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE
You may connect one external hard drive at a time to the rear eSATA port on the Home
Network Gateway Server.
Once an external eSATA drive has been connected and pared to the server, the drive be-
comes an extension of your Home Network Gateway’s internal hard drive. You can discon-
nect and reconnect the eSATA drive without losing recorded content, so long as it gets
reconnected to the SAME Home Network Gateway Server it was originally pared with.
You will not be able to connect your eSATA drive to another Gatweay Server without refor-
matting and losing all content that resides on it. You will also not be able to connect your
eSATA drive to a computer to retrieve recorded content. If your Home Network Gateway
Server should fail at any point and need replacing, the content on your eSATA drive will not
be recoverable.
