Understand your Storage Server
Back Panel
The diagram below shows the storage server‟s back panel.
1) Local Area Network (LAN)
You should connect the LAN port of this storage server to your hub/switch, or one
LAN port of your router etc.
2) USB2
The USB2 port allows you to share your files stored in the USB mass storage
device plugged in.
Note: Please plug the external power of your USB mass storage devices before
you connect them to the storage server.
Note: If you have USB mass storage device (like USB external HDD), please plug it
to this storage server‟s USB 2 port, and plug the USB flash disk you wish to share
to the USB 1 port.
3) Power Switch
When the storage server is not working, switch the Power switch to “1” will switch
on the power and make the storage server start. When the storage server has been
shut down, switch the Power switch to “0” will switch off the power.
Note: Please do not directly switch off the power when the storage server is
running. This will make some data not correctly saved in the storage server and
may make the storage server not work properly. Before switch off the power, please
press Release button for more than 5 seconds to shut down the storage server first.
6
Note: If you did not switch off the power after your previous shut down (just press
Release button for more than 5 seconds) and you want to start the storage server
now, you should switch off the power first and then switch on the power, and the
storage server will start again.
Note: After you shut down the storage server and before switch off the power, the
storage server is still providing power to the hard disk drives and the hard disk
drives are still running. You have to switch off the power after you shut down the
storage server to make the whole system completely stopped.
Front Panel
1) Release button
The Release button has three functions: (1) unplug the external USB mass storage,
(2) shut down the storage server, and (3) reset the configuration of the storage
server to factory default settings.
Unplug the external USB mass storage: When you press and hold Release
button for 2 seconds, the storage server will beep for 0.5 second to hint that
your command is detected. At this time, you should release the Release button
immediately if you want to unplug the external USB mass storage device
plugged in USB1 port. The storage server will take several seconds to unplug
the USB mass storage. When the LED of the USB1 port goes off, you can
safely detach the USB mass storage device from this storage server.
Shut down the storage server: You should press and hold Release button for
more than 5 seconds to start shutting down the storage server. Please ignore
the beep sound. The Power LED will keep flashing during the shutting down
process. When the Power LED goes off, the storage server is completely shut
down. You can now switch off the power by switch the Power switch to “0”.
7
Restore factory default settings: If you want to reset the configuration of the
storage server to factory default settings, you should press and hold BOTH the
Release button and the Copy button at the same time for more than 5 seconds,
the storage server will beep for 2 seconds to hint that your command is
accepted. The Power LED will keep flashing during the restore process. After
the restore is complete, the storage server will restart itself automatically.
2) Copy button
The Copy button has two functions: (1) copy the content of one external USB mass
storage device to another attached storage device, and (2) reset the configuration
of the storage server to factory default settings.
Copy USB mass storage device: When you press and hold the Copy button
for 2 seconds, the storage server will beep for 0.5 second to hint that your
command is detected. At this time, you should release the Copy button
immediately if you want to copy the content of one external USB mass storage
device to another attached storage device. During the process of copy, the LED
of corresponding USB port will flash slowly. When the LED of corresponding
USB port stops flashing and is lit steady, the copy job is finished. If any error
occurs during the process of copy, the LED of corresponding USB port will
flash very fast. The default source storage is USB1, you can change the source
storage by USB Copy settings in Web user interface of storage server.
Restore factory default settings: Please refer to the description of Release
button.
Note: Before you trigger the USB Copy function by pressing the Copy button, make
sure that the destination folder has enough free space to store all data of the
source USB mass storage device.
Note: USB Copy function does not support length of file name longer than 255
bytes. If the source USB mass storage device contains any file with file name
longer than 255 bytes, the copy job will fail.
3) USB1
The USB1 port allows you to share your files stored in the USB mass storage
device plugged in.
Note: Please plug the external power of your USB mass storage devices before
you connect them to the storage server.
Note: If you have USB mass storage device (like USB external HDD), please plug it
to this storage server‟s USB 2 port, and plug the USB flash disk you wish to share
to the USB 1 port.

Getting started
This is a step-by-step instruction on how to start using the storage server.
1) Pull out the disk drawer from the case of storage server as shown in the setup
diagram below.
2) Fix your SATA hard disk drive in the drawer by screws as shown in the setup
diagram below.
3) Push the disk drawer with hard disk drive installed back into the case of storage
server as shown in the setup diagram below.
11
The disk drawer is
not safely installed
Note: Please make sure the disk drawer is safely installed.
For example, please DO NOT install hard disk by the way showed in the following
pictures.
4) Plug the power adaptor to the storage server and connect the storage server to
your network as shown in the setup diagram below.
5) Power on the storage server by pressing the power switch of the storage server
on as shown in the setup diagram below.
12
6) When the Power LED is steady lit, the storage server is ready.
7) There are two methods to setup the storage server: (1) Use the Windows-based
Storage Server Management Wizard utility to do the basic setup; (2) Use the
Web-based GUI to do the advanced setup, just go to the next step.
8) The default IP address of storage server is 192.168.2.5. The PC to setup the
storage server should be in the same subnet as the storage server. If the IP
address of your PC is not in the range of 192.168.2.1~254, please modify the
Windows IP address of your PC as following diagram. If you have used
Windows-based Storage Server Wizard utility to setup the IP of the Storage
Server, you can skip this step, because the IP of the Storage Server and your
PC should be in the same subnet now.
Note: If you have to modify the Windows IP address of your PC, please
remember the original Windows IP address settings of your PC. After you
finished the whole quick setup procedure, you have to modify the Windows IP
address settings of your PC back to the original values to make your PC work
well.
9) Once the IP address of your PC is in the same subnet of the storage server,
enter the URL of default IP address http://192.168.2.5 (default IP address of
this storage server) into your PC‟s web browser and press <enter>. If you have
13
modified the IP of the Storage Server by some way, for example, by using the
Windows-based Storage Server Wizard utility, please use the new IP of Storage
Server.
14
10) The login screen below will appear. Enter the “User Name” and “Password”
and then click <OK> to login.
Note: By default the user name is “admin” and the password is “1234”.
When you see the screen below, you are ready to setup the storage server.
