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 oce
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 specic 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 conguring 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 oce environment with employeespecic 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 benets 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 dierent hard drive modes (Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID1) allows you to choose the conguration
best suited to your needs. Standard mode creates two separately accessible hard drives. JBOD combines both drives in linear
fashion for maximum space eciency. RAID 0 combines both drives in a ‘striped’ conguration, 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 congured as RAID 1, the unaected 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.

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.
