What is the small button on this for? I see the power slide switch, i can't make out what other does. Is this backup, or write block, etc?

It is a 'Hot Swap' function button. It allows you to remove an existing drive and attach a different one. It works well.

The one I received didn't have that button. But I'd assume it was a one button backup that worked only with the software they send along with it. Either that or a drive switch button to switch between drives of you plug in more than one. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

It has only one button, the power switch. I believe the object you interpret as a button is the activity indicator light.

The image you have must be a newer model than the one I have. I only have one button, the power slide switch. Still a great product.

I turned off mine to go on vacation, then when I returned it didn't want to come back on. It finally did but stopped half-way through some paper. Its not all that old, either. I'm cleaning it out now to see if that makes a difference, but if there are any suggestions I'd like to hear them. I'd really like a manual but can't find mine so its either misplaced or I never had one.

It's a "single-strike" switch-pedal, meaning that will pass through power only while been pressed/pushed on, and will stop power when released, it can be set in a reverse manner, meaning that you can also set it to be "on" permanently, and when pressed/pushed, will cut power and when released will pass through power again...hope that will help you!

Thanks for all the input on this subject it truly does help. Sorry for the confusion when I first wrote the question...that dang "GO" button on an I pad makes it easy to send things before its ready!

I use this all the time and have never had a problem with the power button. Hope this helps.

There is a power switch on the board itself. I believe there is a reset switch as well.

Well it might be the SD-Lock. To test it, take out the sd unlock the little slider and try to put it back. Then take it out again to check if the SD-Lock is "Locked" (opposed to when you inserted.). With mine i just glued the lock so it does not turn back. (Literally glued)

I think you should call your server personally and ask them about the big button. It is a great unit but I did not call my server and found out later that they did not support it. Make the call.

It's a slide switch. Very simple -- on and off. Kicks up a pretty amazing amount of air, too.

It's been a while since I started using it, but I think I just plugged it in, and it was automatic, as I recall. I know for sure that it was easy, and hasn't required any time to keep the backups going. I think it asks you about the desired frequency of backing up, and also whether incremental or total.

There is a small button above the power button that one can't see as I didn't and almost sent the item back. After that it worked great. Love it

The R/W button is supposed to be a One touch quick backup button.- SP Widget free download software, providing 7 major back-up and security functionshttp://www.silicon-power.com/product/product_detail.php?currlang=utf8&main;=19⊂=58&pro;=187&type;=do#a_1Data is backed up from the PC to the USB HD.

It has a battery inside that will keep the memory intact if the power goes out. It doesn't have an operational battery backup, meaning employees cannot clock in and out when the power is out. We have ours hooked up to an APC UPS battery unit. Honestly, even if Icon offered a battery, it'd probably be just as much (or more) than an APC.

It is in the back, a small switch. I'm not home now nut if memory service right I believe this is correct. Hope this helps.

Beneath (below) the round button used to take photos, there is a rigid, ribbed sliding piece that when slid to the UP position, the remote is 'locked' and when moved down, it is unlocked. I'm not sure the purpose of locking it, other than I do lock it when packing my camera equipment, just so it won't get damaged. That's my thinking anyway. Don't really know the purpose of the lock.

I'm not sure...I don't leave it on when it's not in use. I only turn it on when I go to back up my files and then I power down after I'm done/eject.

No on off switch, but goes to sleep 15 minutes after its used. Mine is connected to a Synology server via USB 3.0. It backs up every night at 1 am, so have not see it actually "on" in quite a while. Back ups run just fine and the log shows they are all there daily with no errors. Now the reason it is asleep is due to a setting in the Synology software. I could have it on all the time, but why? If I manually access the drive thru the Synology server it comes right up with no issue, AND is fast! Thats the best part. I would buy another if I needed one, no problem.
