eSATA External Disk recognized

I plug in Esata external hardive (self powered) and it's not recognized.  Unit will not boot with esata drive attatched.  Does the Esata port work with the RN 102?  Running 6.6 Firware.  Thanks

    rn312 has front USB/eSATA (self powered). I think rn102 haven't got one.

      The esata port is in the rear of the RN 102 underneath the 2 USB ports

        Yes, there is an eSATA port there.  I don't believe it is eSATAp - meaning I don't believe the NAS will provide power.
