Note: You are now using the NAS function of this device. In order to use the DAS (USB 3.0) function,
please turn off the device, unplug the Ethernet cable and attach the USB 3.0 cable. Please do not
attach both cables at the same time as the system will only recognize one of the two cables
(Ethernet or USB 3.0) at any given time. The system must be turned off and restarted each time the
cables are changed.
Important: DO NOT FORMAT THE HARD DRIVE WHEN CONNECTED VIA USB! If you connect it via USB
before formatting the hard drive through the web interface of the network drive, you will need to
reformat the hard drive before using the NAS functions and therefore lose all data stored on the hard
drive. See
for more details.

Host Name
By default, the host name is set to use the MAC address. This name is used to identify your device on
the network. If you prefer a different name that is easier to remember, change the name and click
Apply.
When selecting a new host name, make sure to use a unique name and not one that has already
been used on the local network. Also, the new host name must not begin with a number. Uppercase
and lowercase letters are not distinguished. When applying the new name, it will check with the web
portal at myakitio.com to see if the new name is still available and then register it for remote login at
the same time. If the name has already been taken, the Portal Service will be disabled and you need
to enter a new name if you want to use the web portal for remote login.
If you are unable to mount the network drive on Linux, change the host name from the default MAC
address to a name that starts with a letter and not a number.
