Scott, In my case I didn't have to do any unplugging at all. The restore process did its own ejecting and restarting of the device which is very easy to know due to the sounds that are associated to plugging and unplugging something into a usb port. The connector on the back of the ATV is simply a micro USB jack similar to the ones found on many cell phones and accessories like BT headsets and such.

The only part I need to dig up is you have to have it plugged in to ac power and then unplug it at a certain point in the process as I recall. If you remember that step then she'll be good to go. Oh and the connector for the USB cable is under the HDMI connector, and is really thin.
