This Quick Installation will explain how to physically connect the Network
Storage Link to the network and how to set up the Network Storage Link for
basic operation.
Before you install the Network Storage Link, make sure these requirements
have been met:
• TCP/IP protocol is installed on your PCs
• a port is available on a hub or switch (to connect to the network)
• you have a USB flash drive and/or a USB hard disk drive (to store data)
If these requirements have been met, then proceed to Step 1.
1
Connect the Network Storage Link
IMPORTANT: The Network Storage Link
is not hot-swappable. Make sure that
the Network Storage Link is powered off
before you connect or disconnect any
USB flash or hard disk drive.
A
Plug the included Ethernet
cable into the Network
A
Storage Link's Ethernet port.
Then, connect the other end
to your hub or switch.
B
Connect the USB storage
devices.
If you are using a USB flash
memory device (USB Key),
insert it in the Disk 2 port.

NOTE: The flash drive must be inserted
into the Disk 2 port. It will not work if it
is inserted into the Disk 1 port.
If you are connecting a USB
hard disk drive, you can
connect it to either port;
however, Linksys recommends
that you connect the first hard
disk drive to the Disk 1 port.

Plug the power cord into the
Network Storage Link's power
B
port. Then connect the other
2
end to an electrical outlet.
D
To power on the Network
Storage Link, press the power
button once. (It is located near
the bottom of the front panel.)
E
The Network Storage Link will
run a brief self-test (2 or 3
seconds) before actually C
booting up. During the self-test,
all of the Network Storage Link's
LEDs will be lit or flashing.
When the self-test is complete,
the Ready/Status LED will flash
continuously, and the Ethernet
LED will flash occasionally as
the Network Storage Link is
booting up. This should take
approximately 1-3 minutes.
D
When boot-up is complete, the
Ready/Status LED and the
Ethernet LED will be
continuously lit.

Guide on the CD-ROM.
• If a USB hard disk drive is
connected to the Disk 1 port,
the Disk 1 LED should be lit.
• If the Network Storage Link
repeatedly beeps, there is a
hardware problem. Refer to
the Troubleshooting section
of the User Guide on the CD-
ROM for possible solutions.
Proceed to Step 2.
