Setting up Your Device

Connecting the px2-300d
If you have purchased more than one px2-300d, complete all steps on one device before setting up
additional devices.
1.
Use the included network cable to connect the px2-300d to your network router, switch or
directly to a computer.
2.
Connect the included power adapter to the back of the px2-300d and a power socket or
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
3.
Your px2-300d should power on automatically.
4.
From a computer on your network, open a web browser and go to
www.iomegasetup.com
to
set up your px2-300d on your network. For best results, use a computer that is connected to
the same subnet or network segment as the px2-300d.
NOTE
: You can access the Iomega StorCenter px2-300d Console directly by entering the IP
address or model name of your px2-300d in your computer’s web browser. To use the model
name on a Mac, add .local after the name in the browser (for example, px2-300d.local).
5.
OPTIONAL: if desired, install the Iomega Storage Manager, QuikProtect, and Media Aggregation
software.
If you install Iomega Storage Manager, its icon will appear in the System Tray (Windows) or
Menu Bar (Mac). The Iomega Storage Manager will automatically scan your network and
connect to available Shares.
If you receive a message from your operating system's firewall alerting you of network
activity, be sure to unblock communications.
Mac Users: Shares on the px2-300d will mount and appear on the Mac Desktop.
PC Users: Shares on the px2-300d will automatically be assigned a drive letter and will be
available in the Network Drives section under My Computer.
