The D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure shares your documents, photos, music, and videos acrossthe network and on the Internet (via FTP server) so amily members, riends, or employees can access them. Thisenclosure, which can hold two 3.5” SATA hard drives o any capacity 1, creates a central network point or backing upvaluable fles. The built-in RAID 1 2 mirroring technology protects these fles rom drive ailure. Other options such asStandard, JBOD, and RAID 0 are also available.

The DNS-323 shares fles over the Internet via the built-in FTP server 3. Users and groups can be created and assignedto olders with either read or read/write permissions. Quotas can be set per user or group to restrict space usage.In addition, the DNS-323 can be used to stream photos, music, and videos to UPnP AV compatible network mediaplayers 4.

The included CD contains D-Link’s Easy Search Utility. This utility allows you to locate the DNS-323 on the networkand map drives to your computer. Backup so tware is also included on the CD. This so tware allows you to backupyour fles rom a computer to the DNS-323 manually, by a schedule, or in real-time. Real-time backups are a great wayto sa eguard against un ortunate accidents that may result in the loss o important fles.

Combining ease o use with practical, high per ormance eatures, the DNS-323 is an organized solution or any network.Free up drive space on computers and centralize data on your network with the DNS-323 2-Bay Network StorageEnclosure!

Section - Installation

Installation

1. Access the drive bays by sliding the aceplate

up until it unlatches rom the device.

2. Once the aceplate is unlatched, pull it o the

device, exposing the drive bays.

This section provides unpacking and installation in ormation or the DNS-323. Open the shipping carton or theDNS-323 and care ully unpack its contents. To install the DNS-323 on your local network, re er to the steps below:

Hardware Setup





3. Insert a 3.5” SATA hard drive into eachavailable drive bay. Make sure to align thedrive connectors to the SATA connectors onthe bottom edge inside the drive bay o theDNS-323. Gently push the drive in until itconnects. When a drive is inserted properly,you will eel it “seat” into the connector. Somehard drives that are thin or oddly shaped mayneed to be guided care ully into position. I adrive is not properly seated, the light will notilluminate a ter powering on the device.

4. Attach the aceplate to the ront o the device.





5. Connect an Ethernet cable to the availableEthernet port. This cable should connectthe DNS-323 to your local network via arouter or switch, or directly to a computer orconfguration.

6. Connect the power adapter to the powerreceptacle.

7. Connect a USB printer. (Optional)




Section 3 - Confguration

Confguration

When frst powered on, during the initial boot sequence, the DNS-323 will wait to be assigned an IP address via DHCP.I it does not receive a DHCP assigned IP address, by de ault it will have a sel -assigned IP address o 192.168.0.32.It is recommended to use the included D-Link Easy Search Utility when accessing and confguring the DNS-323 or thefrst time. I you want to change the IP address be ore logging in or are unable to connect to the DNS-323 IP address,you can use the Easy Search Utility provided on the product CD to locate the device on your network and make anyneeded changes.

RAID

RAID Settings

The DNS-323 supports our di erent disk confguration types: Standard , where each drive is a unique volume, JBOD ,which combines both drives in a linear ashion to create one volume, as well as RAID 0 and RAID 1 .

Click Set RAID Type and Re-Format tochange the current drive confguration.

All data will be lost when changing thedrive confguration.

A pop-up window will appear with the driveconfguration options:





What is RAID?

RAID, short or Redundant Array o Independent Disks, is a combination o two or more disks with the aim o providingault tolerance and improving per ormance. There are several di erent levels o RAID, with each providing a di erent

method o sharing or distributing data amongst the drives. The DNS-323 supports RAID levels 0 and 1.

RAID 0 RAID 0 provides data striping , which spreadsout blocks o data over both drives, but does notprovide data redundancy.

Although per ormance is improved, the lack oault tolerance means that i one drive ails, all

data in the array will be lost.

RAID 0

RAID 1 RAID 1 provides mirroring over both disks, withthe same read/write speed o a single disk. ARAID 1 array can only be as large as it’s smallest

member disk.

Because the data is stored on both disks,RAID 1 provides ault tolerance and protection,in addition to per ormance advantages.
