Section 1 - Product Overview
The D-Link ShareCenter Quattro DNS-345 is a 4-Bay Network Attached Storage device, when used with internal SATA
drives1, enables you to share documents, les, and digital media such as music, photos, and video with everyone on
the home or ofce network. Remotely accessing les through the Internet is also possible using the built-in FTP server,
Web File server and WebDAV protocol. Whether you are allowing access locally or over the Internet, keep data safe
by only giving rights to specic users or groups. When conguring the DNS-345, you can create and assign users and
groups to folders with either read or read/write permissions. This is ideal for an ofce environment with employee-
specic sensitive data or for the home where you can limit your children to age appropriate material. The DNS-345 will
be available to any computer (PC, MAC, or Linux-based) on your network, without the need to install additional software.
Back up your music, photos, and video collections to the DNS-345 for safekeeping. Then, enjoy the benets of the
built-in UPnP AV media server as you stream digital content to compatible media players2 (such as those found in
D-Link’s MediaLounge product line). This feature is very convenient as it allows you to turn off a computer that would
normally be needed for the same function.
The DNS-345 has seven RAID modes (Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 5+SPARE, & RAID 10).

Checking the Hardware Requirements
To use your ShareCenter Quattro, you will need at least one hard drive. If you plan to use RAID, which protects your
data against one hard drive failure, you will need at least two hard drives.
Note: For the ShareCenter Quattro, we recommend that you use at least four 1TB high performance drives. This
provides more data drives, better striping performance, and helps distribute loads more effectively.
This section will help you:
• Select the hard drives you will use
• Choose the amount of space to have available on those drives
• Ensure your data is protected
• Understand the basic requirements for a router or switch
Selecting Hard Drives:
You can use hard drives from any manufacturer and with any capacity with your ShareCenter Quattro. All D-Link
devices support standard 3.5” internal SATA drives. If you are unsure, ask your administrator or hard drive retailer/
manufacturer to verify that your hard drives meet this standard
Warning - Any pre-existing data on the drives will be erased during installation.

Section 1 - Product Overview
Determining How Much Hard Drive Space you Need:
In order to protect your data from hard drive failure, your ShareCenter Quattro requires more space than what you will
use for your data, sometimes as much as double or more the amount of space required.
For the best results in calculating how much space is available for your data, always make sure you have more disk
space than what is necessary.
The ShareCenter Quattro DNS-345 makes it easy to increase storage capacity in the future by simply inserting
additional drives or replacing smaller drives with larger ones. This means you can buy the hard drives one day and
then easily expand another day. The DNS-345 accepts standard 3.5-inch internal SATA hard drives, regardless of
manufacturer, capacity, or speed.
For dual disk redundancy, it is recommended that you using two drives for storing data and two for redundancy.
The drives used for redundancy must have a total capacity of at least the sum of the two drives used for storing data.
Using a Router or Switch:
If you are connecting your ShareCenter Quattro to a router or switch, your router or switch needs to support Gigabit
Ethernet (1000Mbit/s) for peek performance. The ShareCenter Quattro will auto-negotiate the highest connection
speed available to your router or switch. If you are using Port Bonding, use a Managed switch.
Using an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS):
We highly recommend that you use your ShareCenter Quattro in conjunction with an uninterrupted power supply
(UPS), which will protect against sudden loss in power and power surges.
