6D-Link ShareCenter DNS-320L User Manual
Section 1 - Product Overview
Checking the Hardware Requirements
To use your DNS-320L, you will need at least one hard drive installed. If you plan to use RAID 1, which protects your data
against failure of one hard drive, you will need to install two hard drives.
This section will help you:
Select the appropriate hard drives
Determine how much hard disk space you will need
Ensure your data is protected
Understand the basic requirements for a router or switch
Selecting hard drives:
You can use hard drives from any manufacturer and with any capacity with your DNS-320L. The D-Link ShareCenter supports
standard 3.5” internal SATA drives. If you are unsure, check with your administrator or hard drive retailer/manufacturer to
verify that your hard drives meet this standard
*Warning - Any pre-existing data on the drives will be erased during installation.
Determining how much hard drive space you need:
In order to protect your data from hard drive failure, your DNS-320L requires more space than what you will use for your data,
sometimes more than double the amount of space required. You should select hard drives that are larger in capacity than
your maximum storage requirements.
Using a Router or Switch:
If you are connecting your ShareCenter to a router or switch, your router or switch should support Gigabit Ethernet
(1000 Mbit/s) for maximum performance. The ShareCenter will auto-negotiate the highest connection speed available to your
router or switch. If you are using port bonding, use a managed switch.
Using an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS):
We highly recommend that you use your ShareCenter in conjunction with an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), which will
protect against sudden data loss in power outages surges.
