Introduction
By fitting an ordinary hard disk inside the Sandberg Network Disk (hereinafter referred to
as the “box”), you get a data store that can be connected both to the local area network
and the Internet. This gives you access to the data on the disk from wherever you are in
the world, saving you the expense of a file server, as the hard disk and Network Disk do
the job for you. When connected to the Internet, the files are shared via a user-friendly
web interface, giving you access to the files from any other computer with an Internet
connection. The Sandberg Network Disk can also be connected to a computer via USB
2.0, allowing you to use it as an external hard disk directly connected to your computer.
Installing a hard disk
NB: The hard disk must be configured to run as “Master” (sometimes called “Single”).
The instructions for this are on the hard disk itself or in the hard disk manual.
NB: A used hard disk can be used in the box as long as it is formatted as FAT32. If the
disk is formatted with another file system, the box can format it as FAT32 (See page 7).
We recommend that you make a backup copy of all the data on the disk before installing
it so that you do not lose any data when the disk is formatted.
1. Remove the two rubber strips from the box.
2. Undo the two screws near the back plate and remove the hard disk drawer from the
box.
3. Connect a hard disk to the ribbon cable and power connector inside the drawer.
4. Push the hard disk as far back against the back plate as possible and screw it into
place from underneath using the screws provided.
5. Insert the hard disk drawer into the box, do up the two screws and reattach the two
rubber pads.
Connecting the box
The network cable provided can be used to connect the box to a local area network,
allowing the hard disk contents to be shared with computers on the network. When con-
nected to the network, the box can also be configured as an FTP server (see page 6).
Alternatively, the box can be connected to a computer as an external hard disk via USB
2.0. (See page 8)
Network connection
NB: The first time you configure the box’s network functions, the network cable must be
directly connected to a computer. When the box is configured for use on a local area
network, the box can be connected to a switch, hub, router or similar device.
1. Connect one end of the network cable to the network port on the box. Connect the
other end to the computer.
2. Connect the power adapter cable provided to the box and the other end to the mains.
Turn on the switch at the back of the box.
