Network Storage Link for USB 2.0 Disk Drives

The Front Panel

The Storage Link's LEDs, where information about network activity is displayed, and power switch are located on
the front panel.
Ready/Status This LED will begin blinking when you turn on the Storage Link. This is the Storage Link
running a self-test. When this test has completed, the LED will appear solid green. An Amber
LED indicates an error with the Storage Link. (See Appendix A: Troubleshooting for more
information.)
Ethernet Green. The Ethernet LED serves two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the Network
Storage Link is successfully connected to a device through the Ethernet port. A blinking LED
indicates network activity.
Disk 2 This will light up when a Flash disk or USB hard drive is connected. When the light is blinking
slowly, this means the disk or drive can be disconnected. A fast blinking light means data is
being transferred over your network.
Disk 1 This will light up when a USB hard drive is connected. A blinking LED indicates network
activity.
Power Switch The power switch is a "soft switch". If the Storage Link is powered off, you can start it up by
briefly pressing the power switch. To power down the Network Storage Link, press the power
switch, and wait for it to shutdown and the LEDs to turn off.
