Product Overvew
Thank you for choosing the Linksys Network Storage
System with 2 Bays. It features two SATA hard drive bays
so you can add storage space to your network. There are
also two USB ports that let you add USB hard drives for
additional storage space, or you can connect a USB flash
disk to access your portable files. (USB hard drives may
require external power supplies.)
WARNING:
Do not block the air vents, and do
not stack devices on top of the Network Storage
System; otherwise, overheating can occur.
(Air vents are located on the sides of the
Network Storage System. Keep the area around
the Network Storage System clear.)

Storage System is ready for use. The LED is
continuously lit orange when there is an error.
