Introduction
The NSA lets you share files and back up data on your home network.
You can also play video, music, and show photo files stored on the NSA
using a media client such as the DMA-1000.
How It Works
Above is the NSA in a home network. Users back up and share data on
the NSA. The DMA-1000 plays the NSA’s media files on the TV. A USB
hard drive provides extra storage space and files are copied directly from
the USB memory stick to the NSA.
Place the NSA behind a firewall and/or IDP (Intrusion Detection and
Prevention) device to protect it from attacks from the Internet.

Before You Begin
You need the following before you start:
• NSA
• Included CD containing the NSA Discovery Utility, Memeo
Autobackup program, Media Client software, and User’s Guide
• Power cord and power supply (external)
• Included Ethernet cable
• One or two SATA I or SATA II (3.0 Gbit/s) (Serial Advanced
Technology Attachment) compatible hard disk(s) with 15-pin SATA
power connectors
• Philips screwdriver to install hard disks in the disk trays
• USB cable (optional: you only need this if you want to expand
storage capacity by connecting compatible USB (version 2) drives).
It is recommended that the USB device use it’s own external power
adaptor if it has one.
• Computer with Network Interface Card (NIC) and TCP/IP installed
• Network device such as a switch, router, or hub

Install Hard Drives
Once you intall a hard drive on the NSA and create a volume, all existing
data on the disk will be erased. If you want to install two hard drives and
configure them as RAID volumes (see page 15), it is recommended to
use the same disk size and model for best performance.
 Hard drives are NOT hot swappable. The NSA must
be turned off before you remove or install hard
drive(s).
 Creating a volume formats the hard drives. All data
will be lost. Back up any files on the disk to another
location before you install the disk in the NSA.
1. Make sure the power and Ethernet cords are disconnected from the
NSA.
2. Loosen the thumbscrews on the rear panel and open it.

3. Use a screwdriver to remove the retaining screw from a disk tray.
4. Slide the disk tray out.
5. Place the disk on a flat surface with the screw holes facing up. Place
the disk tray on top of it and secure it with the screws as shown.

6. Slide the tray back into the disk bay. Make sure the screw hole is at
the top. Push the tray in all the way so the screw hole at the top is
flush with the internal frame.
7. Put the disk tray retaining screw back in.
8. Repeat steps 3to 7for a second hard drive if you have one.
9. Put the rear panel back on and tighten the thumbscrews.

Connect the NSA
1. Use the included Ethernet cable to connect the LAN port on the rear
of the NSA to a computer, switch, or router on your network.
2. Connect one end of the power cord to the POWER socket on the rear
of the NSA and the other end to the external power supply. Connect
the external power supply to a power outlet.
 Use ONLY the included power supply.

10
3. Press the power button on the front of the NSA to turn it on. Look at
the front panel lights.
 If no lights turn on, make sure the power cord is not loose
and that the power source is turned on.
• The power button light turns steady blue.
• The SYS light turns steady green after a successful startup (it takes
about 50 seconds).
• The HDD lights come on if the NSA detects hard drives in the disk
bays.
• The rear panel LAN port has a light that turns on if the Ethernet port
is properly connected to your network. It blinks while sending or
receiving traffic.
To turn off the NSA, press the power button in and hold it until you
hear a beep. Then release the button.
