What This Product Does
The D-Link DNS-325 ShareCenter® 2-Bay Network Storage shares your documents,
photos, music, and videos across the network and on the Internet so family
members, friends, or employees can access them. This ShareCenter® can hold
two 3.5" SATA hard drives and creates a central network point for backing up
valuable files.
Installation - Windows Only
The Setup Wizard on the CD-ROM will give you step-by-step instructions how to
connect, install, and configure your DNS-325.
Step 1:
Insert the supplied CD-ROM into your computer. When the autorun screen appears,
click ShareCenter Setup Wizard.
Step 2:
Follow the on-screen instructions. Once completed you can log into the DNS-325
for advanced configuration.
Installation - Non-Windows/Manual Installation
For Mac or Linux users, or for manual installation, follow the steps below:
Step 1:
Slide the front panel up until it unhooks and remove it to allow access to the
drive bays.
Step 2:
Align the drives with the grooves in the enclosure and insert one or two 3.5" SATA
hard drives into the drive bays until they are firmly seated. If a drive has been
inserted incorrectly, the LED will not light up. Slide the front panel back on.
Step 3:
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the DNS-325. Connect the
other end to your network via router or switch, or directly to your computer for
configuration.
Step 4:
Connect the power adapter to the DNS-325 and then connect to a power
outlet. Switch the device on and ensure the power LED on the front of the
DNS-325 is lit.
Step 5:
Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the DNS-325 to access the
Web UI. If you have a DHCP-enabled router or server on your network, you
may need to check the DHCP table to see what IP address the DNS-325 was
assigned.
Note: The computer used to access the ShareCenter® web-based configuration manager must
be on the same subnet as the ShareCenter®. If your network is using a DHCP server and the
computer receives IP settings from the DHCP server, the ShareCenter® will automatically be in
the same subnet.
