Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the Linksys by Cisco Media Hub.
One Serial-ATA (SATA) hard disk is pre-installed (except for
the NMH300 model), and a second SATA hard drive bay is
available if you want to add more storage space. Use the
USB ports to add USB hard drives or connect USB flash
drives to access your portable files. (USB hard drives may
require external power supplies.) The Media Hub with LCD
(NMH400 Series) offers additional features, a LCD screen
with navigation pad and memory card slots.
The front panel features vary for the NMH400 and NMH300
Series. The back panel and top panel features are the same
for both series.

The Power LED flashes blue when the

Hub is ready for use. The LED flashes either
blue or red when there is an error. (Refer to
