I. Connect the MediaShare to your network

1. Unpack the MediaShare server — be sure it has ample ventilation. Do not place items on top of the MediaShare, or place any liquids

4. Press the Power button on the back of your unit. The Green power indicator light will flicker while the unit boots and obtains an IP
