Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link DSM-600 Network Storage Enclosure shares your documents, photos, music, and videos across the network
and on the Internet (via FTP server) so family members, friends, or employees can access them. This enclosure,
which can hold one 3.5” IDE hard drive of any capacity or can allow up to two USB 2.0 hard drives to attach*, creates
a central network point for backing up valuable les.
The DSM-600 shares les over the Internet via the built-in FTP server. Users can be created and assigned to folders
with either read or read/write permissions. In addition, the DSM-600 can be used to stream photos, music, and videos
to UPnP AV compatible network media players.
The included CD contains D-Link’s Easy Search Utility. This utility allows you to locate the DSM-600 on the network
and map drives to your computer. Backup software is also included on the CD. This software allows you to backup
your les from a computer to the DSM-600 manually or by a schedule. Regular backups are a great way to safeguard
against unfortunate accidents that may result in the loss of important les.
Combining ease of use with practical features, the DSM-600 is an organized solution for any network. Free up disk
space on computers and centralize data on your network with the DSM-600 Network Storage Enclosure!
*Hard drives not included.
