Overview
This guide can be used for either:
• A home/SOHO network router device of any kind, such as a cable or DSL
home gateway or wireless router.
• Other (no home network router device of any kind).
Within this guide, there are sections that provide specific instructions for
each.
Installation
BroadNAS does not come with any pre-installed disks, so at least one disk
must be installed before connecting BroadNAS. Either one or two disk
drives can be installed in BroadNAS.
There are three main types of disk drives available:
• IDE or ATA
• SCSI
• SATA
The disks uses in BroadNAS must be IDE disks—SCSI and SATA disks are
not compatible. Most disk drives sold are IDE drives, and they tend to be the
least expensive. IDE drives can be purchased at most computer supply stores
or online. Ask the seller to confirm that it is an IDE drive. When the disk(s)
is ready, begin the installation procedure.
WARNING! Do not connect the power or any other cables before installing
your first disk or disks. If you have already connected any cables, disconnect
them now.
The following sections describe the installation process for the BroadNAS in
the order that they should be followed.

The following procedure describes how to remove the drive sled and insert
the drive by connecting the IDE and power cables.
1. Lift the drive handle and slowly pull out the drive sled. If the drive bay is
locked, use the provided key to unlock it before attempting to remove a
drive sled.
WARNING! Trying to remove the drive while it is locked results in damage
to the drive sled.
As the handle is lifted to 90 degrees, the drive unseats itself from the internal
connector. The drive should slide easily from the docking tray.
2. Place the drive sled on an even surface.

3. Open the case by pressing the release tab on the front of the drive sled, and
slide the cover in the direction of the arrow.
Components of the drive sled assembly are the top cover, drive sled,
installation manual, screws, and a set of keys. The keys are used to physically
lock the drive into the bay and deter the accidental removal of the drive while
it is in use. The screws are used to secure the drive into the drive sled.

4. Connect the IDE and power cables.
5. Gently insert the drive into the drive sled. Care must be taken not to

7. Place the top cover back on the drive sled. Ensure that when the top cover
is attached, the front catch is engaged to ensure that the cover stays in place
while being handled.
8. Replace the drive sled into its housing in the BroadNAS. Gently slide the
sled into the slot until it meets firm resistance, and push the handle down.
Pushing the handle down should pull the sled a bit farther into the housing
and lock it into place. If pushing the handle down does not pull the sled
farther back, it has not latched—pull the handle back up, push the drive
farther in, and try again.
9. When the handle is firmly locked in place, the installation is complete.
Drives can be locked into place using the provided key.
10. Proceed to “Connect the Cables” on page 6.

Connect the Cables
The following procedure describes how to connect the network and power
cables.
WARNING! Before connecting cables, always ensure that the BroadNAS is
turned off.
The connectors are on the back of the box, along with the main hard power
shutoff switch.
1. Turn the BroadNAS off by pressing Oon the main AC power switch
(located on the back of the BroadNAS).
2. Connect a standard network cable to the network connector. The network
cable is similar to a phone cord.
3. Connect the other end of the cable for:
• A home network router device of any kind (such as a cable or DSL home
gateway or wireless router) to a network router (the broadband home
gateway, wireless router, or whatever other device controls the home
network).
• Other (do not have a home network router device), to a home network.
This may be a network hub or the network connector of a PC if the PC is
the only other device in the home network. If there is anything more than
the BroadNAS and one PC on the network, a router, gateway, or hub is
needed for the network.
4. Connect the supplied power cable to the AC connector and a standard wall
outlet or other power supply, such as an Uninterruptable Power Supply
(UPS).
5. Proceed to “Turning on the BroadNAS” on page 7.
