Section 1 - Product Overview
SAFELY SHARE DIGITAL FILES LOCALLY AND OVER THE INTERNET
The D-Link DNS-320LW 2-Bay Network Storage, when used with internal SATA drives
1
, enables you to share documents, les, and digital media such as music, photos, and video with everyone on the home or oce network. Remotely accessing les through the Internet is also possible with the built-in FTP server. Whether you are allowing access locally or over the Internet, keep data safe by only giving rights to specic users or groups. When conguring the DNS-320LW, you can create users and groups and assign them to folders with either read, read/write or deny permissions.
This is ideal for an oce environment with employee-specic sensitive data or for the home where you can ensure your children will only have access to age appropriate material. The DNS-320LW will be accessable from any computer (PC, MAC, or Linux) on your network, without the need to install any software on the computer.
STREAM DIGITAL MEDIA CONTENT TO UPnP AV COMPATIBLE MEDIA PLAYERS
Back up your music, photo, and video collections to the DNS-320LW for safekeeping. Then, enjoy the benets of the built-in UPnP AV media server as you stream digital content to compatible media players
2
(such as those found in D-Link’s 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.
PROTECTION, PERFORMANCE, AND FLEXIBILITY
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-320LW to return to its full protection.
To further enhance your ShareCenter’s capabilities, the DNS-320LW 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.
Product Overview
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.

6D-Link ShareCenter DNS-320LW User Manual
Section 1 - Product Overview
Checking the Hardware Requirements
To use your DNS-320LW, 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-320LW. 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-320LW 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.

Section 2 - Getting Started
This User Guide will help you get your ShareCenter set up in just a few steps. To install the ShareCenter on your local network, refer to the steps below, or skip to page 17 to run the setup wizard which will show you how to install and congure your DNS-320LW.
Getting Started
Hardware Setup
Step 1 - Remove the top panel by rmly pressing the latch at the back.
Step 2 - Once the faceplate is unlatched, pull it off the the device to expose the devices’s bays.
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.

Section 2 - Getting Started
Step 3 - Attach the hard drive brackets to the sides of your hard drives with the included screws. Ensure the brackets are aligned so that when the hard drive is inserted, the arrow on the bracket points to the front of the ShareCenter.
Step 4 - Insert up to two 3.5” SATA hard drives into the drive bays.
14D-Link ShareCenter DNS-320LW User Manual
Section 2 - Getting Started
Step 5 - Re-attach the top panel. Ensure the latch is inserted inside the panel.
Step 6 - Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port. This cable should connect the ShareCenter to your local network via a router, switch, or directly to a computer for conguration (cross-over cable required).
Step 7 - Connect the power adapter to the power receptacle.
15D-Link ShareCenter DNS-320LW User Manual
Section 2 - Getting Started
When rst powered on, during the initial boot sequence, the ShareCenter will wait to be assigned an IP address via DHCP. If it does not receive a DHCP assigned IP address, the ShareCenter will be automatically assigned a 169.254.xxx.xxx address. It is recommended that you use the included D-Link Storage Utility software when accessing and conguring the ShareCenter for the rst time. If you want to change the IP address before logging in or you are having trouble connecting to the ShareCenter IP address, you can use the Storage Utility software included on the product CD to locate the device on your network and make any necessary changes.
