Chapter 3: Connecting the Storage Link

The following section instructs you on how to physically connect the Storage Link to the network, and how to 
configure the Storage Link for basic operation in your Windows environment. Everything you need to do to get 
your Storage Link up and running is covered here.

Before the Storage Link can be installed on your network, the TCP/IP protocol must be set up on your network 
PCs.

Follow the steps below to begin the installation of the Storage Link.

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Storage Link. Plug it into the Ethernet port on the Storage Link's back panel, 

and connect the other end of the cable to a hub or switch on your network

2. Connect the USB Storage Devices.

If using a USB flash memory device (USB Key), insert it in the Disk 2 port.

•

If connecting a USB hard drive, you can connect it to either port. You should connect the first hard drive to 
the Disk 1 port, leaving the Disk 2 port available for Flash Disks.

IMPORTANT: The Network Storage Link is not hot-
swappable. Make sure that the Network Storage 
Link is powered off before you connect or disconnect 
any USB flash or hard drive.
