1. Local Area Network (LAN)
You should connect the LAN port of this storage server to your hub/switch, or one LAN port of
your router etc.
2. USB2
The USB2 port allows you to share your files stored in the USB mass storage device plugged in.
Note: Please plug the external power of your USB mass storage devices before you connect
them to the storage server.
Note: If you have USB mass storage device (like USB external HDD), please plug it to this
storage server's USB 2 port, and plug the USB flash disk you wish to share to the USB 1 port.
3. Power switch
When the storage server is not working, switch the Power switch to "1" will switch on the power
and make the storage server start. When the storage server has been shut down, switch the
Power switch to "0" will switch off the power.
Note: Please do not directly switch off the power when the storage server is running. This will
make some data not correctly saved in the storage server and may make the storage server not
work properly. Before switch off the power, please press Release button for more than 5
seconds to shut down the storage server first.
Note: If you did not switch off the power after your previous shut down (just press Release
button for more than 5 seconds) and you want to start the storage server now, you should
switch off the power first and then switch on the power, and the storage server will start again.
