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.

• One or two SATA I or SATA 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

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 17), 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.
