The D-Link DNS-325 ShareCenter® 2-Bay Network Storage shares your documents, 

photos, music, and videos across the network and on the Internet so family 

members, friends, or employees can access them. This ShareCenter® can hold 

two 3.5” SATA hard drives and creates a central network point for backing up 

valuable files.

The Setup Wizard on the CD-ROM will give you step-by-step instructions how to 

connect, install, and configure your DNS-325.

Step 1:

Insert the supplied CD-ROM into your computer. When the autorun screen appears, 

click 

ShareCenter Setup Wizard

Step 2: 

Follow the on-screen instructions. Once completed you can log into the DNS-325

Installation - Windows Only

Installation - Non-Windows/Manual Installation

For Mac or Linux users, or for manual installation, follow the steps below:

Step 1:

Slide the front panel up until it unhooks and remove it to allow access to the 

drive bays. 

Step 2: 

Align the drives with the grooves in the enclosure and insert one or two 3.5” SATA 

hard drives into the drive bays until they are firmly seated. If a drive has been 

inserted incorrectly, the LED will not light up. Slide the front panel back on.

Step 3:

Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the DNS-325. Connect the 

other end to your network via router or switch, or directly to your computer for 

configuration. 

Step 4:

Connect the power adapter to the DNS-325 and then connect to a power 

outlet. Switch the device on and ensure the power LED on the front of the 

DNS-325 is lit.

Step 5:

Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the DNS-325 to access the 

Web UI. If you have a DHCP-enabled router or server on your network, you 

may need to check the DHCP table to see what IP address the DNS-325 was 

assigned.

Note:

 The computer used to access the ShareCenter® web-based configuration manager must 

be on the same subnet as the ShareCenter®. If your network is using a DHCP server and the 

computer receives IP settings from the DHCP server, the ShareCenter® will automatically be in 

the same subnet.
