Section 2 - Getting Started Getting Started Hardware Setup 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 Zero Configuration Setup on page 14 to run the setup wizard which will show you how to install and configure your DNS-320L. Release the top panel by firmly pressing the latch at the back. Once the faceplate is unlatched, remove it to expose the hard drive bays.
Section 2 - Getting Started 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. Insert up to two 3.5” SATA hard drives into the drive 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.
Section 2 - Getting Started Re-attach the top panel. Ensure the latch is inserted inside the panel. 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 configuration (cross-over cable required). Connect the power adapter to the power receptor.
Section 2 - Getting Started Zero Configuration Setup If you have a mydlink-enabled cloud router (DIR-6xxL or DIR-8xxL), you can take advantage of Zero Configuration setup. Zero Configuration automatically configures your NAS’s settings for you, and adds it to your mydlink account. This type of setup allows you to set up your DNS-320L by simply plugging it in and connecting it to your mydlink-enabled router.
Section 2 - Getting Started Attach the External Power Adapter Connect the power adapter to the power connector on your NAS, then plug the power adapter into a wall outlet.
Section 2 - Getting Started Check Your mydlink Account Open a web browser and login to your mydlink account. The mydlink page will check for new devices and display a New Device Found! pop-up notification in the bottom-left corner. Click the notification to continue. Double-click the device to add it to your mydlink devices. If you wish to add it immediately, click Yes, but if you are unsure of what to do click No.
Section 2 - Getting Started After your DNS-320L is registered, you will be able to access all information about the NAS from the cloud service. This information is already available locally, but the mydlink service provides a way for you to view these details from any location. From this location, you can view all physical disk information, and configure RAID.
Section 2 - Getting Started Once the format process is complete, your mydlink cloud service will show you the RAID status and the Volume Status. It also displays the size of the drive, and available and used space.
Section 2 - Getting Started mydlink on the DNS-320L Accessing the DNS-320L using mydlink provides a different user interface experience than the usual NAS interface. Once connected to the mydlink service, click the Application button to access My Music, My Files, My Photos, and P2P Downloads from the main panel.

Section 5 - Knowledge Base Knowledge Base What is RAID? RAID, short for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, is a combination of two or more disks with the aim of providing fault tolerance and performance improvement. There are several different levels of RAID, with each one providing a different method of sharing or distributing data amongst the drives. The DNS-320L supports Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, and RAID 1. Standard: Standard provides a single volume for each drive.
Section 5 - Knowledge Base RAID 0 provides data striping, which spreads out blocks of data over all the drives, but does not provide data redundancy. Although performance is improved, the lack of fault tolerance means that if one drive fails, all data in the array will be lost. RAID 1 provides mirroring over multiple disks, with the same read/write speed of a single disk. A RAID 1 array can only be as large as it’s smallest member disk.
Section 5 - Knowledge Base RAID Options Here is a list of the RAID options available on the ShareCenter DNS-320L. Standard RAID - creates a single volume for one drive or more drives. JBOD - allows you to create a large virtual disk drive by concatenating two or more smaller drives together. The individual hard drives that makes up a JBOD RAID can be different sizes and manufacturers. The total size of the JBOD RAID is the combined total of all the individual drives in the set.
Section 5 - Knowledge Base RAID 1 - allows you to assign two disks as a mirrored set. Once you create the mirrored set, you will see it as a single disk drive. But when you write data to the mirrored set, it will duplicate the data across all members of the set. This ensures that your data is protected against loss if any hard drive in the RAID 1 set fails. In fact, as long as any single member of the set remains functional, you will continue to operate normally, with complete access to your data.
Section 5 - Knowledge Base UPS Connectivity The DNS-320L supports USB UPS, giving users the ability to share the UPS on their local network and protect from an abnormal shutdown due to a power failure. Follow these instructions to connect a UPS to the USB port on the back of the ShareCenter. Standalone and Network Master Mode: Log into the DNS-320L.
Section 5 - Knowledge Base Click Management. Click System Management > USB Devices. Click the blue arrow next to UPS Settings. There are two modes - Standalone and Master. Select Standalone to use the UPS only on the DNS-320L, or select Master to share the UPS with the network UPS slaves. The UPS Status screen shows the mode, manufacturer, product type, battery charge meter, and status.
Section 5 - Knowledge Base Under Mode, select Master from the drop-down list and then click Add. Enter the IP address of the other UPS slave on the network. Click the + button to add more IP addresses. Make sure the DNS-320L and the UPS slaves are on the same physical network. Click OK to continue.
Section 5 - Knowledge Base Once you have entered an IP address, the system will check its database for IP address records. The UPS Settings table will display the IP address(es) you added. Your DNS-320L is now setup as the network master to notify the network slaves about critical power status.
Section 5 - Knowledge Base Deleting a UPS Slave Under Management > System Management > USB Devices > UPS Setting, select the IP address. Your selection will turn red. Click Delete. The DNS-320L will process your request. The IP address will no longer be listed in the table.
Section 5 - Knowledge Base USB Print Server The DNS-320L features a built-in USB print server, giving users the ability to share a printer on their local network. Connect a USB printer to the USB port on the back of the device.
