6. Connect the power adapter to the
power socket.
5. Connect an Ethernet cable to the
available Ethernet port. This cable
should connect the ShareCenter
Pulse to your local network via a
router or switch, or directly to a
computer for conguration.
Make sure to align the drive connector to the SATA connector on the bottom
edge inside the drive bay of the ShareCenter Pulse. Gently push the drive in
until it connects. When a drive is inserted properly, you will feel it “seat” into
the connector. Some hard drives that are thin or oddly shaped may need to be
guided carefully into position. If a drive is not properly seated, the light will not
illuminate after powering on the device.

Easy Search Utility
When rst powered on, during the initial boot sequence, the ShareCenter
Pulse will wait to be assigned an IP address via DHCP. It is recommended
to use the included D-Link Easy Search Utility when accessing and
conguring the ShareCenter Pulse for the rst time.
If you want to change the IP address before logging in or if you are
unable to connect to the ShareCenter Pulse IP address, you can use
the Easy Search Utility provided on the product CD to locate the device
on your network and make any needed changes.

desired capacity amount in the block
provided.
To utilize the remaining space, (if the
two HDDs differ in capacity), the user
can choose to use JBOD for the
remaining space. Tick this option is
needed.
