Hardware Setup - Installing Hard Drives

The D-Link ShareCenter Pro 1100 takes four 3.5” hard disk drives. The hard drives do not have to be the same size. However, to
create a RAID, it would be preferable to have all hard drives the same size. In this guide we show how to take the hard drive
cases apart, install the drives and turn on the device.

Section 2 - Installation

Software Setup - Default IP Address Location

During the initial boot sequence, the ShareCenter Pro 1100-04 awaits to be assigned a DHCP IP address. If it does not receive
a DHCP assigned IP address, the ShareCenter Pro 1100 reverts to its Auto-IP address. The Auto-IP address will look similar to
(eg. 169.254.x.x). The Username and Password information is just below the IP address information.

Password

It is recommended to use the D-Link EZ Search Utility when accessing and conguring the ShareCenter Pro for the rst time.
If you want to change the IP address before logging in or are unable to connect to the ShareCenter Pro’s IP address, you can
use the EZ Search Utility provided on the product CD to locate the device on your network and make any changes.
