Network Storage Link for USB 2.0 Disk Drives
3. Plug the supplied power cord into the Storage Link's power port, located on the Network Storage Link's back
panel. Connect the other end of the power cord to a surge protector outlet.
4. Power on the Network Storage Link by pressing the power button once on the front panel.
5. The Storage Link will run a brief self-test (two or three seconds) prior to actually booting up. During the self-
test, all of the Storage Link's LEDs will be illuminated or flashing. When the self-test is complete, the amber
Status LED will turn off, the green Ready LED will blink continuously, and the Ethernet LED will blink
occasionally. This shows that the Storage Link is booting up, which could take up to three minutes. It will
take longer on the first boot up, and on any boot up following an improper shutdown. When the Storage Link
has booted up, the Ready (Green) LED and the Ethernet LED will be on.
• If a Flash Memory or USB Disk is connected to the disk 2 port, that LED should be on.
• If a USB hard drive is connected to the Hard Disk port, that LED should be on.
• If the Network Storage Link repeatedly beeps, there is a hardware problem. Refer to the Troubleshooting
section of this User Guide for possible solutions.
