Section 1 - Product Overview

Product Overview

The D-Link ShareCenter™ DNS-320L is a 2-Bay Cloud Network Storage device. When used with internal SATA drives, it enables
you to share documents, les, and digital media such as music, photos, and video with everyone in your home or in the oce
network. Remotely accessing les through the internet is also possible using the built-in FTP server, Web File server and the
WebDAV protocol. Whether you are allowing access locally or over the internet, you can keep data safe by only giving rights
to specic users or groups. Users can also access their DNS-320L remotely using the mydlink portal, or using mobile devices
with the mydlink Access-NAS app on a mobile phone or tablet. When conguring the DNS-320L, you can create and assign
users and groups to folders with either read or read/write permissions. This is ideal for an oce environment with employee­specic sensitive data or for the home where you can limit your children to age appropriate material. The DNS-320L will be
available to any computer (PC,Mac, or Linux) on your network, without the need to install any software.

You may back up yoru music, photos, and video collections to teh DNS-320L for safekeeping. Then enjoy the benets of the

built-in UPnP AV media server as you stream digital content to compatible media players
MediaLounge product line). This feature is highly convenient as it allows you to turn o a computer that would normally be
needed for the same function.

(such as those found in D-Link’s

The availability of four dierent hard drive modes (Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID1) allows you to choose the conguration
best suited to your needs. Standard mode creates two separately accessible hard drives. JBOD combines both drives in linear
fashion for maximum space eciency. RAID 0 combines both drives in a ‘striped’ conguration, which provides the highest
performance when using a Gigabit Ethernet connection. RAID 1 causes the drives to mirror each other, providing maximum
protection. If one drive fails while congured as RAID 1, the unaected drive continues to function as a single drive until the
failed drive is replaced. The new drive will then be re-mirrored, allowing the DNS-320L to return to its full protection.

To further enhance your ShareCenter’s™ capabilities, the DNS-320L supports a proprietary mydlink service, provided to D-Link
customers only, serves as a portal to those users who wish to access their data from any location. Mydlink service supports list,
download, upload or delete les/folders and can see the status of a ShareCenter™ from any location via web browser.

1 Hard Drive(s) not included.

2 D-Link cannot guarantee full compatibility or proper playback with all codecs. Playback capability depends on the codec support of the UPnP™ AV media player.

Section 1 - Product Overview

Checking the Hardware Requirements

To use your DNS-320L, you will need at least one hard drive. If you plan to use RAID 1, which protects your data against one
hard drive failure, you will need two hard drives.

This section will help you:

• Select the hard drives

• Determine hard disk space you will need

• Ensure your data is protected

• Understand the basic requirements for a router or switch

Selecting Hard Drives:

You can use hard drives from any manufacturer and with any capacity with your DNS-320L The D-Link ShareCenter™ supports
standard 3.5” internal SATA drives. If you are unsure, ask your administrator or hard drive retailer/manufacturer to verify that
your hard drives meet this standard

*Warning - Any pre-existing data on the drives will be erased during installation.

Determining How Much Hard Drive Space you Need:

In order to protect your data from hard drive failure, your DNS-320L requires more space than what you will use for your data,
sometimes more than double the amount of space required.

Using a Router or Switch:

If you are connecting your ShareCenter™ to a router or switch, your router or switch needs to support Gigabit Ethernet
(1000Mbit/s) for maximum performance. The ShareCenter™ will auto-negotiate the highest connection speed available to
your router or switch. If you are using Port Bonding, use a managed switch.

Using an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS):

We highly recommend that you use your ShareCenter™ in conjunction with an uninterrupted power supply (UPS), which will
protect against sudden loss in power and power surges.

aligned so that when the hard drive is
inserted, the arrow on the bracket points
to the front of the ShareCenter™ .

Note: Make sure to align the drive connector to the SATA connector at the back edge inside the drive bay of the ShareCenter™.
Gently push the drive in until it connects. When a drive is inserted properly, you will feel it “set” into the connector. Some hard
drives that are thin or oddly shaped may need to be inserted carefully into position. If a drive is not properly set in place, the
hard drive LED will not illuminate after powering on the device.
