Getting Started
Step 1. Installing your hard drives
WARNING! In order to prepare your drives for network operation, this enclosure
will congure newly installed drives into an acceptable format (exFAT). Please be
aware that any data currently on the drives may be lost during this process. It is
recommended that you back up all data prior to installing any drives.
Instruction Manual

1. Using a Phillips head screw driver (not included) remove the screw from the bottom
of the enclosure.
2. Slide the “front panel” upward toward the top of the enclosure.
Instruction Manual
3
3. Lift the panel o to reveal the drive bays.
Instruction Manual

4. Slide each of your hard drives into the bay.
Instruction Manual
5
5. Place the front panel back on by placing it over the drive bay, and sliding it into
place.
6. Replace the screw using the Phillips head screw driver.
Instruction Manual

Step 2. Set your RAID Conguration
WARNING! In order to prepare your drives for RAID and Network operation, this
enclosure will congure newly installed drives into an acceptable format (exFAT).
Please be aware that any data currently on the drives may be lost during this process. It
is recommended that you back up all data prior to setting your RAID conguration.
Note: While RAID conguration can be done at any time, we recommending setting
your RAID conguration before initially connecting to your Network.
1. Ensure the unit is powerd o (main power switch at the rear of the housing is set
to o).
2. Using the RAID switch on the back of the unit, set to your desired RAID
conguration. (Available RAID Congurations)
3. Toggle the rear power switch to the on position then press and hold the “Set RAID
button” as you power on the enclosure by pressing the “Front Power Button”.
4. Once the enclosure has turned on, release the “Set RAID button”. You may hear a
buzzer sound from the enclosure as conrmation of the RAID change.
5. Your Desired RAID conguration is now set.
RAID Notes
If changing RAID conguraiton, ensure your enclosure is set back to
STANDARD (JBOD), before setting to a dierent conguration.
JBOD is only supported in DAS connection or if you are using only
one hard drive with the NAS.,If connecting through NAS with
two drives in JBOD, only one drive will be accessible.
If 2 hard drives are installed, JBOD mode cannot be supported in NAS mode.
Instruction Manual
7
Available RAID Congurations
The NAS enclosure supports 4 dierent RAID congurations. RAID is a storage
technology that combines multiple hard drives into a single unit for secure data
redundancy, increased volume size and/or improved performance.
Descriptions and benets for each available RAID conguration are listed below:
Standard - JBOD
In JBOD, no RAID conguration is set and both drives appear as individual disks.
Note: JBOD is only supported in DAS connection, if connecting
through NAS only one drive will be accessible.
Combine – BIG
In BIG, both drives appear together as a larger individual disk the size of both drives
combined. This conguration enables you to create a larger volume than would be
available using a single drive without the performance increase oered with RAID 0.
Mirroring – RAID1
In RAID1 both drives appear as an individual disk and data is written
identically to both. This level protects your data from individual
drive failure as a backup of all data is written instantly.
Striping – RAID0
In RAID0 both drives appear together as a larger individual disk the size of
both drives combined. This level can improve your performance as read
and write operations are performed in parallel on separate disks.
Step 3. NAS Setup
Note: NAS (Network) and DAS (USB 3.0) operation cannot be achieved simultaneously.
If switching between DAS and NAS, the enclosure must be rebooted between
operation modes. For the purpose of initial setup, we recommend you to set up the
NAS rst to avoid unnecessary system reboot and HDD re-format.
Method 1: Connect the NAS enclosure to your router (Quick Access)
1. Connect an Ethernet cable (included) from the LAN port on
the enclosure to an available LAN port on your router.
2. Access the web interface by browsing the device name with your web browser:
http: //S352BMU3N
Note: Not all environments will support browsing by product name. In this
case, you need to access your router to get the IP address assigned to your NAS
Enclosure. (Please reference your router manual for further instruction)
Instruction Manual
8
Method 2: Connect the NAS enclosure directly to your computer (Standard
Access)
1. Connect an Ethernet cable (included) from the LAN port on the
enclosure to an available LAN port on your computer.
2. Set your computer IP address to an IP address on
the same subnet as the NAS Enclosure.
The default NAS IP address is: 192.168.0.2
As a result for initial setup, we recommend setting
your computer IP address to: 192.168.0.1
3. Access the web interface by browsing the NAS enclosure default
IP address with your web browser: http://192.168.0.2
4. You can get access to your NAS enclosure at IP address 192.168.0.2
Step 4. Initialize Your Hard Drives
Access Web Interface
1. Open the web browser on the connected computer and type the NAS IP address, or
device name into the address bar.
Default IP address: http://192.168.0.2
Default Device Name: http://S352BMU3N
2. The NAS Enclosure uses user accounts to limit access. An administration account is
used for conguration and restricted access. You may be prompted to enter the NAS
administration user name and password. By default the user name and password for
the administration account are both “admin” as listed below.
Default Administration Account User name: admin
Default Administration Password: admin
Enter the user name and password and click the OK button.
Instruction Manual
9
Note: The administration account user name and password can be changed,
and additional accounts can be added (See: Page 64 <Manage Accounts>).
3. You have now accessed the Web Interface Home page, as the “5 option” web GUI
menu is displayed.
Hard Drive Initialization
WARNING! Newly installed drives will be formatted into an acceptable format for the
NAS enclosure (exFAT). Please be aware that any data currently on the drives will be
lost during this process. It is recommended that you back up all data prior to initial
setup.
1. If this is the rst time you’ve accessed your web interface, or your hard drives are
otherwise not formatted, you will receive a message recommending you format
your hard drives upon accessing the web interface.
2. Click the OK button to format the installed drives into the supported exFAT format.
Instruction Manual
10
You can also click Cancel if you wish to complete additional conguration steps
before formatting the hard drive.
WARNING! Any data on the drives will be deleted upon format.
Step 5. Use your NAS
